Who is Emerald Robinson? Twitter bans Newsmax journo for saying Covid vaccine has 'luciferase’

Newsmax WH correspondent Emerald Robinson claimed 'the vaccines contain a bioluminescent marker called LUCIFERASE so that you can be tracked'

A Newsmax White House correspondent was suspended from Twitter after she claimed that coronavirus vaccines contained luciferase, which allows people to be tracked. She then guided her followers to 'New Testament to see how it ends.' In a tweet that has now been taken down, Emerald claimed that "the vaccines contain a bioluminescent marker called LUCIFERASE so that you can be tracked." Robinson retweeted a post by user Limitless Boundaries claiming that the Moderna vaccine contained the tracker. 

However, luciferase has absolutely nothing to do with the biblical devil. Luciferase is actually a bioluminescence marker in a class of enzymes that can produce light in a chemical reaction.

Vaccines have been mandatory for years, so why the drama over Covid-19?

The marker, which has never been an ingredient listed in the Moderna vaccine, was used in COVID-19 research back in 2020 summer. It has, however, never been used as an ingredient in any of the available vaccines. Newsmax later issued a statement saying the organization has distanced itself away from Robinson's false claims. 

In a statement, executive vice president and chief content officer at Newsmax Elliot Jacobson said that the organization is a "strong proponent that COVID-19 vaccines are overarchingly safe and effective." "We have seen no evidence to suggest LUCIFERASE or LUCIFERIN are present in any vaccines or that they are used as any sort bioluminescent marker," Jacobson said. Jacobson clarified to The Hill that it does not believe "the vaccines contain any toxic materials or tracking markers" and noted that "such false claims have never been reported on Newsmax." 

In the past, Robinson has posted various controversial tweets about vaccines and how it does not 'work as advertised.' "There’s abundant clinical evidence that the new vaccines don’t work as advertised. That’s the biggest story around the world and it’s being suppressed," the Newsmax correspondent. Marking the tweet as 'misleading', Twitter linked to a threat of CDC and WHO posts on the website to "learn more about how the COVID-19 vaccines work."

Earlier this year, Robinson also claimed that the vaccines were a chain reaction to force citizens to "obey the government." "The pandemic is to force you to get the vaccine. The vaccine is to force you to get the vaccine passport. The vaccine passport is to force you into the social credit system. The social credit system is to force you into obeying the government," she tweeted in late September.
