The Atlas vertebra is intentionally dislocated by doctors at birth to limit people’s intellectual and physical abilities, according to a pro-Russian conspiracy theorist.
NEWS: IMPORTANT: This vertebra is dislocated by medical professionals in infants at birth—in accordance with medical protocols. The ATLANT (that is its official name in Russian) is the first vertebra in the cervical region. It controls the movement of the spine and ensures a stable position of the skull; it is attached to the back of the skull and connected to the second vertebra, the axis. This vertebra is intentionally dislocated in the child at birth—in accordance with medical protocols. (**I am not saying that doctors do this intentionally—but rather that this is how they are trained. The protocols are intentionally designed this way. They teach doctors to grasp and pull the baby in such a way that this vertebra becomes dislocated. In Russia, this issue has been known for a long time, and there are many clinics that realign the ATLANT vertebra. It’s not a difficult procedure. Once the vertebra is put back in place, people’s headaches, back problems, and many other conditions go away: even vision problems improve, as do blood pressure issues, and so on. Why doesn’t a single doctor in Romania talk about this? Because nobody knows about it.
Google translates the Russian term " ATLANT vertebra" as "Atlas"—that’s how it’s in Romanian. But it’s "ATLANT" in Russian—that’s the official name, and this word is very important (we’ll explain that another time, too). Atlant—from Atlantis… which “doesn’t exist”… Atlantis comes from the Atlanteans. There are also old, official books from the 1800s: “Studies on Atlantis”, I’ve mentioned them. They say that the Atlanteans had unimaginable abilities… Why is this particular vertebra dislocated? That’s why I insist so much on its name. Does that ring a bell?
NARRATIVE: Medical protocols call for the intentional dislocation of the Atlas vertebra in new-borns.
PURPOSE: To undermine public trust in the healthcare system and, by extension, in medical procedures and doctors; to promote conspiracy theories and validate one’s own narrative; and to provoke and amplify social tensions.
Doctors are trained to protect the baby’s head and neck, not to dislocate its vertebrae.
WHY THE NARRATIVE IS FALSE: The claim we are examining today is not only false but also particularly serious, as it directly accuses doctors of intentionally causing trauma with extreme consequences for the human body. Dislocation of the Atlas vertebra (the first vertebra—C1—of the spine) can trigger a “domino effect” throughout the musculoskeletal, nervous, and circulatory systems, creating imbalances and dysfunctions that, over time, can lead to serious health problems. Nowhere in the world is there any recognized obstetric protocol (neither by the World Health Organization nor by other medical societies) that recommends or accepts the intentional dislocation of the atlas in new-borns. Moreover, doctors are trained to do exactly the opposite—that is, to protect the baby’s head and neck during childbirth. It is true that there are rare and difficult cases—such as complicated births—in which accidental cervical injuries may occur, but these are unintended, not intentional. Currently, modern medical practice, including the use of caesarean sections when necessary, has greatly reduced these risks.
Theories of this kind are found in the realm of pseudoscience and “alternative therapies,” especially when combined with real medical terms (such as “atlas”) or terms that sound medical (“subluxation,” “alignment,” “compression”), which makes them sound credible to those unfamiliar with anatomy or clinical practice. The claim that the first cervical vertebra is intentionally dislocated at birth comes primarily from non-medical sources, such as forums and online materials lacking scientific validation, and “legitimizes” certain non-standard chiropractic practices. In these circles, the discussion begins with the idea that birth “imbalances” the spine, and then the concept of “subluxation” (a supposedly incorrect alignment of the vertebrae) is introduced, even without solid imaging or clinical evidence.
This theory is based on the fact that most people do not understand that babies’ joints and ligaments are very flexible and adapted for birth, and that there are no standard treatments to “reposition the atlas.” Furthermore, imaging studies do not support the existence of such a widespread problem, proving that the atlas is “universally dislocated” at birth. For this idea to be true, there would need to be imaging studies—MRI, CT, and ultrasound—conducted on large samples of new-borns; the results would need to be reproducible across multiple countries and hospitals; and the symptoms would need to be consistent in all children in order to establish clinical correlations. Furthermore, all this evidence would need to be included in most official medical guidelines for paediatrics and obstetrics. Moreover, the existence of a secret global protocol is, quite obviously, a massive absurdity. Such an idea would require the complicity of every medical system in the world and a complete absence of information leaks. Consequently, the answer to the author’s question, “Why doesn’t any doctor in Romania talk about this?” is not “Because no one knows,” but “Because the procedure in question does not exist.”
Unfortunately, we are compelled to also address the absurdity surrounding the Atlanteans of Atlantis with their “unimaginable abilities.” The story of Atlantis is an ancient philosophical myth that first appeared in Plato’s *Dialogues*, in which he created an allegory to explore concepts such as the corruption of power, the decline of “perfect” civilizations, and the conflict between order and excess. Currently, there is no accepted archaeological or historical study confirming the existence of Atlantis as a real civilization, much less that of people with extraordinary abilities who supposedly developed a society so technologically advanced that it left nothing behind. Of course, there are books about Atlantis, just as there are books about Martians, El Dorado, Shambhala, or the energy tunnels in the Bucegi Mountains built by the Dacians. This does not mean that the things described in them are real, but only that some people—even reputable researchers—have tried to decipher these myths, legends, and mysteries.
Conspiracies... conspiracies... plenty for everybody!
CONTEXT: The narrative we’re analysing today falls within the realm of conspiracy theories about a plan to exterminate, enslave, or manipulate humanity, carried out by the world’s healthcare systems. These theories do not aim to expose well-hidden secrets of the global cabal, but rather to destabilize society in general and to reap substantial material gains by selling “solutions.” Many of these theories originate in Russia (as is the case with the one in question), but there are numerous Western publications and “influencers”, usually from the far-right and conspiracy circles, who are also sources of such disinformation. These are picked up and spread by other “influencers” or local publications to an audience receptive to such narratives and disinformation, generally people who do not trust the authorities.
The person who (re)launched this narrative in Romania is a former journalist from the Republic of Moldova, currently based in Bucharest, who espouses a conspiracy-theory-based discourse in which she never fails to touch on any of the major themes, even though they often contradict one another. Furthermore, she is a fervent supporter of Russia and the war of aggression it launched in Ukraine. In her posts, she constantly raves about world leaders hiding a unique civilization—Tartaria (we don’t know where the Atlanteans would have fit into this picture), the existence of a Third Testament in the Bible, black magic rituals at birth disguised as medical procedures (!), and so on. She even claims, in one of her posts, that in the context of Bessarabia’s union with Romania in 1918, 300,000 residents of Iași were murdered (it is unclear by whom and why), even though the city’s total population did not exceed 80,000 (!!). Furthermore, in the very same post in which she published the lie debunked today, she effectively states that “nature did not make us disabled, so that we would need hospitals,” and claims that medicine intentionally destroys children, “first at birth, then through vaccines,” claiming that “currently, infant mortality has reached record highs due to (sic!) medicine.” In 2022, UNICEF announced that infant mortality had reached a historic low for children under 5 years of age.
