‘Disinformation Dozen’ Doctor Critical of Vaccines Suddenly Dies


Dr. Rashid Buttar, a licensed osteopathic physician and retired Major in the U.S. Army, died at 57 years old.

Buttar gained prominence as one of the most vocal voices against the experimental COVID-19 shot.

He was among the “Disinformation Dozen,” which the mainstream media coined for the individuals and organizations spreading the most “anti-vaccine” content.

“In March 2021, an analysis by the Center for Countering Digital Hate of Twitter and Facebook anti-vaccine content found Buttar to be one of the top twelve individual and organization accounts producing up to 65% of all anti-vaccine content on the platforms,” Wikipedia states.

From The Hill:

The report accuses Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — who was banned from Instagram last month — Joseph Mercola, Ty and Charlene Bollinger — whose Twitter accounts were briefly suspended at the beginning of the pandemic — Sherri Tenpenny, Rizza Islam, Rashid Buttar, Erin Elizabeth, Sayer Ji, Kelly Brogan, Christiane Northrup, Ben Tapper and Kevin Jenkins of spreading disinformation and claims that their social media accounts “have repeatedly violated Facebook and Twitter’s terms of service agreements.” And the CCDH has receipts — the report is full of screenshots of “example violations” that range from misleading to antisemitic.

An email reportedly sent to friends and family stated the following about Buttar’s passing:

The Buttar Family is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Rashid A. Buttar, D.0.

Dr. Buttar passed away on May 18th, 2023, at his home, while spending time with his family.

Dr. Buttar attended Washington University and graduated with a double major in Biology and Theology. He then went on to earn a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences in Des Moines, Iowa.

Dr. Buttar was a retired Major in the US Army. He served with the 5th Special Forces group and the 101st Airborne Division.

He is survived by his three loving children, Sara, (30) Abie, (24) and Rahan (18).

Service arrangements have not yet been made. The family intends to have a private service. The family requests privacy at this time and appreciates your continued support and prayers.”

“I am in tears this morning reading the dozens of text messages from close friends of Dr Rashid Buttar‘s & mine. He was one of us 12. One of the so called # DisinformationDozen. He was just live a few days ago on Twitter but has died suddenly and our hearts are broken. I will post some pictures of us later today. Dr. Buttar. Rest in peace,” said Erin Elizabeth, another one of the ‘Disinformation Dozen.’

“One of the Whitehouse listed members of the “Disinformation Dozen” Dr. Rashid Buttar has passed at the age of 57. As one of the 12 myself, I am truly saddened by this news. Brother Buttar was uncompromising and this was my most appreciated trait of his. As we were exposing the lies of Covid-19 that were foisted upon the masses the Black community only had a few voices representing us on this level,” Rizza Islam, another one of the ‘Disinformation Dozen’ stated.

“Rashid Buttar who worked so hard to expose the ‘Covid’ hoax has died at 57. What a tragedy – he was a good guy,” David Icke wrote.

In an interview with Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson streamed on May 17th, Buttar claimed he had been poisoned with “200 times the amount of what’s in the vaccination.”

Buttar believed he was poisoned right after a CNN interview.

“I was actually intentionally poisoned and part of it I believe was right after that CNN interview,” Buttar said.

“The message I want people to know is, remember the importance of exercising free will, and then also as a default, as a backup, slow down and remember that God is in control,” Buttar added.

Watch the full interview on Rumble:

Around 27 minutes into the interview is when Buttar says he was intentionally poisoned.

“Absolutely gutted. I just interviewed him a couple of days ago and we had an amazing conversation on spirituality and belief. RIP Dr. Buttar, you were a hero when most North American doctors were cowards,” Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson wrote.

CNN interviewed Buttar in 2021 and wrote:

Dr. Rashid Buttar often appears on his promotional materials donning scrubs or a white coat.

The bio in his 2010 book, “The 9 Steps to Keep the Doctor Away” – which landed on USA Today’s best-seller list – is a three-page compendium of credentials: double major in biology and theology from the prestigious Washington University in St. Louis; doctor-of-osteopathic-medicine degree at the University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences, College of Medicine and Surgery in Iowa; visiting scientist and nutritional scientist at North Carolina State University.

His website adds another: “MOST CENSORED Doctor.”

Buttar has shared all manner of outrageous claims and misleading statements about the pandemic: Most people who took the vaccine will be dead by 2025. It’s all part of a “depopulation plan.” Covid-19, he wrote on Twitter – where he has 88,000 followers – was a “planned operation.”

In a recent interview with CNN’s Drew Griffin, Buttar stood by it all.

“I’ve told people the best thing that could happen is you get Covid,” he said.

“The best thing that can happen is get Covid?” Griffin asked.

“Of course,” Buttar replied. “You’re going to build your own innate immune system and then you don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

He later said, falsely: “More people are dying from the Covid vaccine than from Covid.”
