I just can't make myself believe that 2 two-bit articles that unironically use the phrases "new world order" and "plandemic" were the catalyst for volume yesterday.

I'm pretty convinced they were.  They coincide with the run-up, peak, and drop.  They are both US websites. I'm sure these articles are gold to many investors.

Heck, there are 10s of millions of Americans who believe one conspiracy theory or another, eg. ".... the theory that the FDA is deliberately withholding natural cures for cancer (endorsed by 40 percent), and the theory that the Fed intentionally orchestrated the 2008 recession (endorsed by 19 percent)...."  WaPo

US adult population: 258,000,000.  Nine percent (23 million) think vaccinations implant microchips, ten percent (25 million) think the earth is flat, twelve percent (31 million) think the moon landings were faked. UofNH

So I have no problem believing millions of shares of RVX were bought solely from the info in those articles.  What will be funny is if new folks show up on the board explaining what a hot stock RVX is.
