'Repentinitis': the made-up term linking vaccine hoaxes and dark humor
'Repentinitis' is a term falsely attributing sudden deaths to mRNA vaccines, with no scientific backing. From hoax to meme on a forum.

The 'repentinitis' nobody diagnoses: the hoax connecting vaccines, AI and sudden collapses
A made-up term — 'repentinitis' — has begun circulating on forums and social media as a supposed consequence of mRNA vaccines. According to the theory, the vials would contain rGO (reduced graphene oxide) in varying concentrations: some doses would be placebos, while others would carry enough of a load to trigger sudden cardiac arrest within seven seconds. The ultimate aim, the theory claims, would be to connect human brains to an artificial intelligence via microwaves.
Not a single clinical study supports these claims. The WHO, the EMA and national medicines agencies have denied any presence of rGO in authorized vaccines. Nevertheless, the term 'repentinitis' has gone viral in certain circles as an explanation for unexplained sudden deaths, fueling a narrative that mixes science fiction — with echoes of 'Ghost in the Shell' — and institutional distrust.
The irony came quickly: some users dubbed an unexpected fart or sudden diarrhea 'repentinitis'. What began as a grim hoax has become a meme, but the underlying misinformation persists. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has been mentioned as a possible instigator of the topic, though without any evidence.
The question remains open: how far can a term with no scientific basis spread when distrust of the authorities is high? 'Repentinitis' is today a textbook case of how a modern myth is built.
