An Arizona GOP official made unverified claims that COVID vaccine turns people into 'potted plants'

A GOP official peddled unverified claims that COVID jabs were turning people into "potted plants."

Jim O'Connor is an elected Republican official in charge of power and water companies in Arizona.

He was attempting to convince company leaders to not impose COVID jab requirements on their workers.


An elected GOP official in Arizona is peddling a false claim that the COVID vaccine not only causes death but turns those who receive the jab into "potted plants."

Jim O'Connor - a state corporation commissioner who was elected in November to oversee companies in charge of utilities like electricity and water - claimed in an interview with local news outlet the Arizona Republic on Saturday that the government was hiding numbers of vaccine-related deaths and serious side effects.

"I'm also aware through other information that many people who have taken the shot, many thousands of people here in the US, are deceased. And the deceased part is the good news. And please don't take that out of context," O'Connor told Ryan Randazzo of the Arizona Republic.
