  • Fact Check: Purported 'Morgellons Test' Does NOT Extract Chemtrail, Air Pollution 'Nanoparticles From Saliva

    Do respirator masks prescribed to reduce viral spread contain nano-robot parasites called Morgellons? No, that's not true: "Nano" describes structures one billionth of a meter across, which makes the video images impossible, since it shows a fingertip alongside the purported nano-bot.
