As we close out another year, it seems we’re once again diving into an online frenzy of conspiracy chatter. This time, it revolves around reports of a peculiar weather anomaly affecting various parts of the globe.
The Mysterious Fog.. across Earth.
Thick fog has blanketed Ireland and other parts of the United Kingdom, while several states in the United States have also reported strange, dense fog formations. Florida, in particular, has allegedly been shrouded in this fog for weeks, leading some to dub it a “perpetual victim.” These reports have sparked widespread curiosity, with some dismissing it as a seasonal occurrence, while others dive deeper into speculative theories.
Here’s some fun speculation on a Reddit thread.
While meteorologists note that fog formations like these are not uncommon during certain times of the year due to specific atmospheric conditions, the sheer consistency and unusual behavior of this year’s fog have caught attention.
The phenomenon seems to extend beyond the United States and the UK, with reports of persistent fog cropping up in other parts of the world. And that is what makes it more peculiar as it just seems to be a sudden global phenomenon
The Conspiracy: “Chemical Fogs” and Illness..
Here’s where things go down a rabbit hole.
Adding fuel to the fire are claims linking these fog formations to a mysterious wave of illnesses. On X and other social media, people have reported experiencing sudden cold or flu-like symptoms shortly after brief exposure to what some are calling “chemical fogs.” These fogs are described as unusually thick and lingering, sparking suspicion and fear.
Also, being flu season probably assists with those flu claims.
Some conspiracy theorists have coined the term “Fogvid-24” to describe this phenomenon. Those allegedly affected report symptoms such as:
Severe fatigue or unexplained loss of energy.
Coughing, sneezing, and other respiratory issues.
A sensation of general malaise that seems to appear without warning, claims say.
Fog is a natural weather phenomenon often caused by temperature inversions, high humidity, and calm winds. In areas like Florida, where warm ocean currents collide with cooler air masses, fog can linger for extended periods.
Health experts also emphasize that cold and flu-like symptoms are common during the winter months and are likely coincidental rather than a direct result of the fog itself.
But until then it’s fogvid24. What an ending..
