Covid-19 conspiracy theorist husband threatened to leave wife if she got vaccine

Wife’s sad tale of how her husband was captured by the ‘sovereign citizen’ movement and threatened to divorce her if she ever got the Covid vaccine

  • Wife threatened with divorce by radicalised husband
  • She said husband was obsessed with conspiracies 

A wife has opened up on the time her conspiracy theorist husband threatened to leave her if she ever got the Covid vaccine.

The Western Australian woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said her husband  was introduced to the world of conspiracies by a relative five years ago.

He spiralled down a dark rabbit hole where he was exposed to ridiculous theories that included the Holocaust being a hoax and 9/11 an inside job by the government. 

The husband then joined an anti-vaxxer cult during the Covid pandemic and refused to allow his wife to get the vaccine.

‘He even threatened me with divorce if I got vaccinated – I was terribly upset but being stubborn … I quietly went and got vaxxed anyway,’ she told news.com.au. 

The wife revealed she had been subjected to a year of emotional abuse as her husband took control of every aspect of her life.

‘Last year, he tried to stop me watching TV and the world news and he wouldn’t let me buy newspapers. 

‘He tried to control me and if I was watching the world news, he’d stand at the door and scream ‘sheeple’ over and over again to block out the announcer.’

The wife said her husband met twice a week with the conspiracy theorist group.

She was alarmed after discovering he had taken home a pamphlet warning doctors distributing the vaccine would be put on trial.

‘To all medical practitioners, doctors, nurses and all involved in injecting a Covid-19 or mRNA vaccine,’ the pamphlet read.

‘I was just carrying out orders’ is NOT a legal defence. You will be on trial for war crimes and you will be held accountable.’

The pamphlet then lists a series of misinformation about the Covid vaccine including that it is ‘experimental’ and that it causes ‘short’ and ‘longterm’ damage.

The wife has aired her concerns after learning that her husband and his conspiracy theorist friends visited a local gun club to learn how to ‘protect themselves’.

His role models include the likes of Australian conspiracy theorist Riccardo Bosi, former US president Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.  

The wife said she was at her wit’s end about what to do and couldn’t believe the matter had gone so far, describing her husband as a smart man with a high IQ.

She said she had cried on several occasions and that she was angry she didn’t know what to do.

The distraught wife said she feared her husband and friends would do something reckless as it ‘would not take much to tip them over’.

She said she could see similarities in their belief systems similar to the Train brothers who killed two police officers and a neighbour at a shootout in December.

Nathaniel and Stacey Train along with Nathaniel’s brother Gareth, murdered police constables Rachel McCrow, 29, and Matthew Arnold, 26, as well as neighbour Alan Dare, 58, at their Wiembilla property, 300km west of Brisbane. 

The trio of conspiracy theory fantasists were then killed in a firefight with specialist police later that same day. 

Gareth’s online comments featured conspiracy material about Jesuits and vaccines, as well as claims high-profile shootings such as the Port Arthur massacre were hoaxes or ‘false-flag’ operations.
