US President Donald Trump on Saturday shared an artificially generated video in support of the so-called “Medbed” health system, a concept rooted in conspiracy theory. The subsequently deleted clip is designed to look like a Fox News broadcast hosted by his stepdaughter, Lara Trump. No such programs have ever been aired on the network.In the AI-generated segment, Lara Trump declared: “Breaking. Now President Donald J. Trump has announced a historic new healthcare system. He has launched America's first Medbed Hospital and announced the national Medbed Cards for all citizens.”The video then showed that Trump's portrait was a promise. “Every Americans will receive their own Medbed card right away. This ensures access to our new hospitals led by top doctors in the country. These facilities are equipped with the world's most advanced technology, safe, modern and designed to bring all citizens back to full health and strength. This is the beginning of a new era of healthcare in America.”The segment also featured Lara Trump, claiming that a limited number of “Medbed cards” would be available in the first phase, with details being followed.
what Medbed conspiracy?
The “Medbed” conspiracy theory claims that the government and the military secretly hide advanced healing techniques that can cure illness, reverse aging, and even regenerate limbs. The idea has grown from Qanon-related groups, with some congregations that such devices continue to live on John F. Kennedy Jr.Devotees say that Medbeds uses futuristic tools such as Ion, Terahertz's light waves, AI and quantum technology, but some suggest the origins of the alien. Supporters also claim that large pharmaceutical companies and wealthy elites already own the devices but are deliberately withholding tax.The New York Times and Rolling Stone report that businesses are cashing in hype and selling expensive devices and “Medbed cards” online. US-based company Tesla Biohealing says it says it provides “vital energy,” but it acknowledges that the product is not approved for treating diseases. The FDA has already issued warnings about alleged violations of regulations.Experts, including disinformation analysts, dismissed the concept as pseudo science. As I told the BBC, “It's really hard to define something that doesn't exist.”
