A. Digital-ID / national database / Real ID / vaccine-passport — Fuentes’ docuмented warnings and activity

Public X (Twitter) posts attacking the Palantir / “national citizen database” reporting (June 2–5, 2025)
— Fuentes posted on X that the Palantir/administration plan would be “Feeding every ‘MAGA extremist’ into an AI database…” and called Palantir the “deep state,” framing the proposal as the creation of a mass digital-ID / surveillance database. This was widely quoted in news coverage of MAGA reactions to the Palantir reporting. X (formerly Twitter)+1
Podcast / livestream / social-clip coverage repeating the same warnings (June 2025)
— Several outlets (Gizmodo, Wonkette, Economic Times and others) quoted and covered Fuentes’ social posts and livestream commentary about Palantir and a “digital ID / AI database.” These pieces reproduce his warnings and show he used his streaming / X audience to amplify concerns. Gizmodo+1
Public opposition to “vaccine passports” / urging people not to get digital vaccine credentials (2020–2021)
— Fuentes and his movement repeatedly opposed vaccine-passport ideas in 2021. Clips and reuploads show Fuentes telling followers not to get a “vaccine passport” and urging refusal; a Aug 15, 2021 clip (archived on alternative video sites) explicitly says “Don't get the vaccine passport… we have to make a stand.” Salon and other coverage in 2021 also docuмented his movement aligning with anti-vax protesters. Bitchute+1
On-the-ground anti-mandate / anti-passport activism (2021)
— Fuentes organized/appeared at rallies and events opposing COVID mandates and vaccine-passport proposals (for example, anti-mandate rallies reported in 2021) — demonstrating he acted beyond social posts, mobilizing followers offline. Local reporting docuмented rallies connected to his network. KEYE
Repeated streaming/podcast commentary about “Real ID” / federal ID concerns (ongoing references across 2021–2025)
— While Fuentes did not publish formal policy papers, his streams, X posts and clips repeatedly linked Real-ID / Palantir / vaccine-passport topics into a single narrative of an emerging “digital ID” / surveillance state — and those posts (and the June 2025 Palantir reaction) are the clearest docuмented examples. News outlets quoting his X posts and clips provide the public record. Newsweek+1

B. When he first began publicly pushing COVID conspiracy / calling the response a “scam/hoax”

Late 2020 — mask-mandate incident (December 2020)
— Public reporting (and Fuentes’ own retellings) docuмent an altercation on a flight in December 2020 over mask mandates. This is one of the earliest widely reported incidents tying Fuentes personally to COVID-related protest/defiance. Wikipedia+1
Spring–summer 2021 — joined anti-vaccine community; began anti-vax speaking tour (April 2021 onward)
— By April 2021 Salon reported that Fuentes and his “groyper army” had linked up with coronavirus anti-vaccine activists; later in 2021 Fuentes undertook anti-vaccine speaking appearances and circulated hoaxes about COVID vaccines. That timeframe (spring–summer 2021) is the clearest docuмented period when he moved from anti-mandate incidents into active anti-vax organizing and messaging. Salon.com+1
Mid-2021 onward — explicit calls to reject vaccine passports and COVID-response rhetoric
— By mid–late 2021 Fuentes was explicitly urging followers to refuse vaccine passports and amplifying claims that framed COVID policy (mandates, passports, vaccines) as a political or coercive scheme. (See the Aug 2021 clip and related coverage.) That’s the period when he visibly and repeatedly cast the pandemic response as a kind of scam/plot in public forums. Bitchute+1

Short summary / interpretation

Digital-ID warnings: Fuentes has actively warned his audience — mainly via X, livestreams, podcasts and rallies — that government/industry efforts (Real-ID enforcement, Palantir-style data integration, or vaccine-passport schemes) amount to a “digital ID” or pathway to surveillance. His June 2025 posts about Palantir and a “national citizen database” are the most widely cited recent examples. X (formerly Twitter)+1
COVID “scam/hoax” messaging: Fuentes’s public COVID-skeptic and anti-vax messaging began to appear in late-2020 (mask-fight incident) and grew into organized anti-vaccine/anti-passport activity by April–August 2021 (Salon, event reporting, anti-passport clips). That is the docuмented period when he started pushing that narrative to the public. Wikipedia+2Salon.com+2
