Hulk Hogan believes the COVID-19 vaccine killed 99-year-old Betty White

Wrestling legend and Trump supporter Hulk Hogan grabbed headlines this week after linking the deaths of Bob Saget, Betty White, and Sidney Poitier to the COVID-19 vaccine.

Saget died suddenly on January 9 at age 65, and authorities have claimed there was no evidence to support a drug overdose or foul play as the cause. But Newsweek reports that didn’t stop YouTuber Josh Pray from posting a video on Facebook implying that Saget’s death, along with that of White and Poitier, all stemmed from vaccination against COVID-19.

One commenter on Pray’s video wrote: “Wellll many directions we can go with this, but I will take jab for $500 Alex.”

That’s when Hogan decided to weigh in on the issue.

“100 percent Betty and Sidney were also jabed [sic] their dropping like flies but they’ll never say it,” he commented on the video.

The pro wrestler subsequently deleted the comment, though screenshots of it continue to circulate on social media.

Needless to say, Twitter has weighed in on Hogan’s anti-vax stance, with users expressing their skepticism at his expertise…

To be clear, Betty White, 99, died of a stroke on December 31, 2021. Sidney Poitier died aged 94 of natural causes January 6, 2022. There is no evidence to link the death of either actor to COVID-19.

Moreover, given that the CDC reports that over 247 million Americans are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, suggesting that any “deadly conspiracy” would have to be far more reaching than just three people, all of whom happen to be celebrities.
