8. For the uninitiated, the medbed thing isn't just a conspiracy theory.

It is also a collection of scams! Of course it is.

Medbeds hit the MSM in 2022, and many of those articles also covered the scam angle. There was a cottage industry of fraudsters making money off the gullible and desperate with empty promises resting on this premise they had heard from RWNJ CT circles. Trump featured heavily into those CTs, as the hero, naturally.

But the medbed thing predated the MSM awareness of them. One can still find posts yammering about medbeds on Elon's hellsite from the summer of 2020; unsurprisingly many of those posts bear the signals of a troll farm (poor syntax, Cyrillic letters, images stolen from known films/TV).
