Wife’s sad story of how her husband was captured by the ‘sovereign citizen’ movement and threatened to divorce her if she ever got the Covid vaccine
- Wife threatened with divorce by radicalized husband
- He said that the husband was obsessed with conspiracies.
A wife has opened up about the time her conspiracy theorist husband threatened to leave her if she ever got the Covid vaccine.
The Western Australian woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said a relative introduced her husband to the world of conspiracies five years ago.
He spiraled down a dark rabbit hole where he was exposed to ridiculous theories including that the Holocaust was a hoax and 9/11 an inside job of the government.
Then the husband joined an anti-vaccine cult during the Covid pandemic and refused to allow his wife to get vaccinated.

“He even threatened to divorce me if I got vaccinated. I was terribly upset but being stubborn… I went quietly and they vaccinated me anyway,” she said. news.com.au.
The wife revealed that she had been subjected to a year of emotional abuse as her husband took control of all aspects of her life.
‘Last year, he tried to stop me from watching TV and world news and wouldn’t let me buy newspapers.
“He tried to control me and if I was watching world news, he would stand at the door and yell ‘sheep’ over and over again to block out the announcer.”
The wife said her husband met twice a week with the group of conspiracy theorists.
She was alarmed after discovering that he had taken home a pamphlet warning that doctors who distributed the vaccine would be prosecuted.
“To all doctors, physicians, nurses and everyone involved in injecting a Covid-19 or mRNA vaccine,” the brochure read.
‘I was just following orders’ is NOT a legal defense. You will be tried for war crimes and you will be held accountable.
The brochure then lists a number of misinformation about the Covid vaccine, including that it is ‘experimental’ and that it causes ‘short-term’ and ‘long-term’ harm.
The wife expressed her concerns after learning that her husband and his conspiracy theorist friends visited a local gun club to learn how to “protect” themselves.

His role models include the likes of Australian conspiracy theorist Riccardo Bosi, former US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
The wife said she didn’t know what to do and couldn’t believe the matter had gone this far, describing her husband as an intelligent man with a high IQ.
She said that she had cried several times and was angry because she did not know what to do.
The distraught wife said she feared her husband and friends would do something rash as “it wouldn’t take much to tip them over.”
She said she could see similarities in their belief systems similar to the Train brothers who killed two police officers and a neighbor in a shootout in December.
Nathaniel and Stacey Train along with Nathaniel’s brother Gareth murdered police officers Rachel McCrow, 29, and Matthew Arnold, 26, as well as neighbor Alan Dare, 58, on their Wiembilla property, 300 km west of Brisbane.
The trio of conspiracy theory fanatics were killed in a shootout with specialized police later that day.
Gareth’s online comments included conspiracy material about the Jesuits and vaccines, as well as claims high-profile shootings, such as the Port Arthur massacre, were hoaxes or “false flag” operations.
