QAnon 'Queen's' Followers Are Sending Insane Anti-Vaxx Notes to Hospitals

COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. Face masks are not a crime against humanity. Canada does not have a secret queen named Romana Didulo.

That has not stopped a growing group of Americans from following the commands of Didulo—who is not royalty but who does love QAnon—and sending letters to U.S. health clinics and Walmarts, accusing them of war crimes for giving out vaccinations or encouraging face masks.

“Q,” the anonymous author of the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory, has not posted online for more than half a year. In his absence, other conspiracy influencers have tried to siphon up his audience and reach. In Didulo’s case, she claims to be the true ruler of Canada (she is not) and promotes bloody prophecies about government upheaval. (Didulo claims to have “replac[ed] Queen Elizabeth II of England who has now been executed for crimes against humanity,” Vice reported earlier this year.) Didulo has gained a fervent Canadian fanbase, and has encouraged them to file “cease and desist” letters against institutions that promote face masks or vaccines.

But now the phony ruler’s influence tactics are spreading to the U.S., where Americans who refer to Didulo as “the queen” are sending bogus legal notices to schools, medical facilities, and businesses.
