"Necessary? Is it necessary to drink my own urine? No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste."

The quote from Dodgeball comes to mind reviewing the latest theory from anti-vax leader Christopher Key.

On Sunday, The Daily Beast reported that self-proclaimed "Vaccine Police" Key, recently released from prison on a trespassing charge, uploaded a video to his Telegram account telling his followers that their own pee was the best defense against COVID-19.

Prominent anti-vax conspiracy theorist Christopher Key says “urine therapy” is the antidote to COVID:

“The antidote that we have seen now, and we have tons and tons of research, is urine therapy. OK, and I know to a lot of you this sounds crazy, but guys, God’s given us everything we need," Key said. "This vaccine is the worst bioweapon I have ever seen. I drink my own urine!," Key continued in a highly revealing combination of sentences.

Key stuck to his guns when contacted by the Daily Beast for comment, calling people who take the vaccine foolish and championing the value of drinking one's own urine — à la Bear Grylls.

As one might imagine, an anti-vaxxer telling his followers to consume their urine quickly made its way through social media, where the responses were swift and close-minded to the idea.

Hi, ER Doc here.

I can’t believe I have to say this but do NOT consume your own urine in an attempt to treat COVID19.

If you drink your own urine instead of getting vaccinated you’re a certified idiot https://t.co/VT7Wycni05

As a doctor I have to – no, you know what, go ahead and drink your own urine if you think that’ll help COVID. Screw it.

Anti-vaxxer: “I’m not taking the vax! That’s the mark of the beast! I don’t know what’s in that!”

This is the second time Key has made headlines with his anti-vaxx evangelicism. In August last year, he made headlines after alleging that the government may execute pharmacists for administering the vaccine.
