BETHESDA, MD -- Johns Hopkins University announced it was, in connection with the CDC, investigating a bizarre pattern of what they are calling "Google Tourette's" among vaccinated Americans.
Originally, Youtube and Twitter saw a slow increase in the number of videos of people talking conversing about any number of topics and then immediately saying out loud "The Cheetah can reach speeds of 60, though occassionally 70, miles per hour" or "IS my wife cheating on me... 4,846,484 matches".
Dr. Sanjay Dupta, a resident at Johns Hopkins noted he didn't find the videos credible and felt it was just another social media trend. However, he stated that he started taking it very seriously when all of a sudden he blurted that "The package has been delivered" while examining a patient. As it turned out, the timing was in line with a package delivery he had at his home.
"We aren't exactly certain what is happening," noted Dr. Dupta. "What seemed to be an isolated and dubious claim has become a lot more widespread.
"The cases don't seem to occur as often outdoors or in rural areas."
As of today, it is estimated that Google Tourette's is impacting the lives of at least 20,000 people, but that number is expected to climb as people started taking notice of the broader number of people with this occasional behavior.
In response to the limited press, Google released a statement indicating they had "No idea or any legally binding involvement that might or might not have led to this 'phenomenon' which clearly has absolutely nothing at all to do with the Covid-19 Vaccines."
