While there is no specific and updated number of people unvaccinated against COVID-19 in the U.S. given by health authorities, there is enough reason to believe that many have not received the shots during the three-year pandemic. And a new online community was launched to give a platform for these people to connect.
A segmentation analysis published in February found that between December 2021 and February 2022, around 15.2% of U.S. adults remained unvaccinated against the novel coronavirus. The figure translates to millions of people without vaccine-induced immunity against the disease.
Interestingly, a new website called 4thePURE was created recently, and it seeks to connect unvaccinated people. Through this online community, members can connect with their fellow unvaccinated people when looking for blood donors, sperm donors, and surrogates, among others.
The person who made this community possible is Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former national security adviser to ex-President Donald Trump. Flynn previously made headlines back in 2017 when he pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his contact with a Russian ambassador, according to Business Insider.
Flynn was pardoned by Trump three years later. He now embraces QAnon, a pro-Trump conspiracy theory, and advocates for controversial narratives about COVID-19. He was the one who claimed the viral disease was orchestrated by billionaires Bill Gates and George Soros, along with Klaus Schwab.
“4thePURE is an online community where health-conscious individuals who have rejected the COVID-19 vaccine can connect and find everything they need – friendships, dating, curated news, service providers, doctors, blood donors, fertility options, jobs, shopping, events, etc. – with the goal growing community of the free,” the description on its website read.
The service does not come free of charge. While the site is already up, a full membership option will launch in June. A lifetime membership will cost $2,500. This will entitle one to 25% off events and 25% off 4thePURE merch. It will also grant access to VIP events, business listings and many more.
There are two other options, but they are exclusively for businesses. The corporate membership costs $10,000 and includes 5 lifetime memberships. On the other hand, the corporate pro account costs $25,000 and covers 15 lifetime memberships.
According to the website, all people interested in becoming a member will have to undergo a strict criminal background check. This is to ensure that members can safely connect with other people on the platform.
Meanwhile, as a news hub for unvaccinated people, 4thePURE will offer the “best-curated content concerning vaccines and other health and wellness concepts.”
