Prominent Anti-Vaxxer Dragged For Saying Drinking Your Own Urine Is The 'Antidote' For The Virus
Anti-vaxxers continue ignoring proven scientific data to promote their own remedies in combating COVID-19.
Examples of false quick fixes for the disease included injecting hydroxychloroquine, bleach, and the anti-parasite drug used for livestock deworming, Ivermectin–which the FDA strongly advised against in treating or preventing infection.
Now, another bizarre solution to fighting off COVID-19 was suggested by Christopher Key, the leader of an anti-vax organization known as the “Vaccine Police."
Key, who is from Alabama, claimed in a video posted on his Telegram app account that a "probable" antidote effective in fighting COVID-19 was–wait for it–"Urine Therapy."
Yes, he admitted to guzzling his own pee to protect himself from the virus.
\u201cVaccine Police\u201d anti-vaxxer Christopher Key has a new conspiracy for his moronic MAGA followers to cure Covid: Drink their own urine. \n\n\u201cThe antidote is urine therapy. God\u2019s given us everything we need... This vaccine is the worst bioweapon I've ever seen."\n\nJFC\n\n#DemVoice1pic.twitter.com/LY9ywlMlhu— The Jewish Ginger Resister (@The Jewish Ginger Resister) 1641791624
"God's given us everything we need," he asserted in the video.
Key went on to allege that “This [urine therapy] has been around for centuries."
"We’ve got research after research, documented, peer-reviewed published papers on urine! We do, we have this."

Key admitted he was not a medical doctor but said:
“I’ve been drinking my own urine for the past 23 years, and I’m, still alive.”
Needless to say, Twitter users were taking the piss out of the wacky anti-vaxxer.
Anti-vax leader urges people to DRINK THEIR OWN URINE to cure Covid-19. \u201cThe antidote that we have seen, and we have tons and tons of research, is urine therapy. I know to a lot of you this sounds crazy, but God\u2019s given us everything we need.\u201d\n\nWho agrees this is CRAZY/NUTS!!!!?pic.twitter.com/8BALG9sWwU— Chuck And Jim \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08 \ud83d\udc6c\ud83d\udc3b\ud83c\udf2a\ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0e #IDWP (@Chuck And Jim \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08 \ud83d\udc6c\ud83d\udc3b\ud83c\udf2a\ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0e #IDWP) 1641844264

This is sad. "It's all antidotal"? \n\nLay people can't do their own medical research. Pro tip--if it's shocking but real, it would be in the New England Journal of Medicine. If it isn't, don't buy it.\n\nThere, now you can go do your own medical research...— Truth Serum (@Truth Serum) 1641821583

Comedian and political satirist, Brent Terhune, "demonstrated" the result after taking a drink of his man-made elixir.
"Be your own [barrister,]" he said, before taking a swig.

According to The Daily Beast, Key found himself behind bars in a Jefferson County Jail in Birmingham, Alabama last week after getting a third-degree criminal trespassing charge.
The anti-vaxxer, who \u201cserves\u201d packets of documents that supposedly show that the safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine is supposedly a \u201cbioweapon,\u201d had a court hearing earlier Tuesday over an arrest at a Whole Foods in April.https://trib.al/6hayyhw— The Daily Beast (@The Daily Beast) 1641445206
The anti-vaccine organization leader had also been on a road trip mission endeavoring to conduct citizen arrests of Democratic state governors for their vaccine mandates.
Key reportedly "served" packets of documents in which he called COVID-19 vaccinations a "bioweapon."
To explain how he possessed the authority to arrest governors, Key argued:
“The government is we the people."
"That is the government!”
