John McAfee Tweets Tainted CBD Vape Products Are Causing “Zombie-Like Symptom” Infections

• John McAfee is a self-declared 2020 US presidential candidate.
• His recent claims over vaping are connected to his work with the South China Zombie Research Centre, which may be a fake account.

John McAfee, famous cyber security pioneer, computer programmer and cryptocurrency community representative, is known for making some bold statements. Recently Mr. McAfee decided to comment on the current issues arising from vape use. There have been over 300 cases of lung disease that the local health departments believe are the result of vaping, though no single product has been linked. McAfee recently said that the contaminated products could be causing “zombie-like symptoms.”

He tweeted out a recent statement claiming there are current testing procedures happening with these CBD vape products for a “purposeful contaminant,” which he says, “should scare you.”

Multiple cases of pulmonary disease have arisen in the United States this year, and marijuana products linked to vaping have already been connected to many of these cases. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the products included a vitamin E oil derivative.

The tweet from McAfee referenced a study from the South China Zombie Research Centre, stating that he was working with them for the development of the CZCOIN cryptocurrency token and whitepaper.

Just a few weeks after the late-August post, it appears that the relationship dissolved. The center recently started to post about potential zombie outbreaks in broken English repeatedly, but is now stating that it will sue McAfee for making the organization “look like a fool.” They added that they were done with McAfee, and that what he was saying was not true, instead commenting that the threat of a zombie takeover was “real” and that it must be taken seriously.

In comments, the center even said that McAfee was hired to “prove” that this was a risk.

Realistically, there is clearly a chance of this center being a massive social media prank. There have already been multiple Twitter users that state that McAfee may be a part of the creation of these tweets.
