I was struck by this paragraph.

"Ohmni offers items such as “Protency boxers” which claim to “block electromagnetic frequencies” and boost fertility"

I wouldn’t trust them. They can’t even spell future: “Future backwards is R U TUF”. Although helpfully they’ve tried to in capitals, just for the paranoid, modern knight keyboard warriors out there.

It says it is made with nickel and copper, which are both good conductors of electricity, so I'd assume yes.

Presumably you'd be at risk of dermal nickel poisoning?

"the armour of the modern knight"

"Future backwards is R U TUF"

"You just might have saved the future of humanity."

"I could be a genius I could be a cheat.”

Even the term "tin foil hat" is usually a pisstake of conspiracy theorists.

It's clearly a spoof/satire/publicity stunt.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

MIA dived deep down the Conspiracy wormhole a few years back. It's not a spoof or satire.

If I were creating a publicity stunt for an ad campaign - which is something I've done for years - that's very much how I'd word it.

Maybe she's come out the other side and realised it's all nonsense. The article itself states she's not really an anti-vaxxer. Going by the lines I quoted above I'd be astonished if it isn't a joke/publicity stunt... and I certainly don't think you can be as certain as you are that it's not. You wouldn't literally call it a "tin foil hat" when that's well known to be a derogatory term used at these people, surely?

Trust the process. Trust Phil.
