QAnon anti-vaxxer who claimed only 'idiots' would die of Covid succumbs to the virus
Cirsten Weldon, who recorded herself screaming at people standing in line to receive their vaccines, caught Covid last month after a sustained campaign to undermine medical efforts
A vocal anti-vaxxer who claimed the coronavirus vaccine kills people has died after contracting Covid.
Cirsten Weldon used her online platform to tell the world only "idiots" would die from the deadly bug.
The American became the latest jab opponent to be killed by the disease, which has already claimed the lives of more than five million across the world.
The QAnon promoter urged both her followers and strangers she passed on the street not to take the vaccine and ignore government restrictions.
She had amassed tens of thousands of followers across her pro-Trump right-wing social media networks.
Mrs Weldon claimed leading doctor Dr. Anthony Fauci “needs to be hung from a rope” as she recorded herself screaming at people who were standing in line to receive their boosters.

She warned on one video: “The vaccines kill, don’t get it!”
Another showed her saying: “This is how gullible these idiots are. They’re all getting vaccine!”
She passed away Thursday from in a hospital in Camarillo, California, reports state.
Her last social media post was an image of herself in a hospital bed with an oxygen mask on.

In the post, she claimed she had “bacterial pneumonia” - but doctors yesterday confirmed she had caught Covid. Her death was announced on Friday.
Mrs Weldon’s wild conspiracy theories last year included claims that China paid President Joe Biden lots of money in order to test “ weather weapons” in Texas.
In May, she appeared on a podcast claiming that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had died back in 2020.
She is not the only high profile anti-vaxxer to die for Covid in the past few days.
Doug Kazum, 61, died on Monday after a 10-day-long battle after he allegedly caught it at the ReAwaken America Tour in Texas.
The State has experienced a surge in cases and deaths due to the spread of the Omicron variant late last year.
Texas reported 35,453 new cases as of Thursday, officials state.
The ReAwaken America tour brought out many far-right campaigners, including former Trump adviser Michael Flynn, who spoke during the event.
