And that in many vaccines they use the cells of aborted babies. I am not kidding you. When you take your baby to be vaccinated, they inject cells from another baby that has been killed.

==Holocaust denial==

Imanuelsen also had some fascinating opinions on related subjects:
===Denying the denial===
In 2022, Imanuelsen claimed that he never denied the Holocaust, but that his Holocaust denying tweets were faked by leftists using Photoshop.The left has been spreading fake, PHOTOSHOPPED so called screenshots about me claiming me to be a "Holocaust denier". This is nothing but outright LIES from the far-left. I am NOT, and have NEVER been a Holocaust denier. Read the truth here by Peter Sweden (12:37 PM · Aug 28, 2022) Twitter (archived from 30 Aug 2022 19:52:22 UTC). Despite this, there is incontrovertible evidence that Imanuelsen did question and deny the Holocaust based on a webpage archive of his tweets, for example, in response to someone telling him there was a "systematic killing of the Jews", Imanuelsen wrote:
In two other tweets, purportedly quoting Ken Livingstone without comment, based an archived copy from 2016:
A Twitter thread documenting Imanuelsen's Holocaust denial in August 2022 proves Imanuelsen is a liar who even rushed to delete an anti-Semitic tweet he made in 2016 when it was quoted.Having recently been on GBNews, Peter Imanuelson (AKA Peter Sweden) is claiming screenshots of his anti-semitic, holocaust-denying tweets are photoshopped. Unfortunately for him, several are web archived... 🧵 by @JamesNite9 (August 28, 2022) Twitter (archived from August 28, 2022).
What makes Imanuelsen's denial of his Holocaust denial bizarre is he apologised for being a Holocaust denier on his own blog but later removed this to contradictorily claim he had never denied the Holocaust:
Imanuelsen's offensive tweets were first quoted in an article by Huffington Post in July 2017, exposing his Holocaust denial and links to white nationalist figures. Imanuelsen published a response to the article the same month claiming he only denied the Holocaust for a few months when he was around 21. In fact, archived webpage captures show he was denying the Holocaust for two or more years. It seems rather suspicious that Imanuelsen changed his views in such a short space of time after the article about him appeared, and he might not be sincere about denouncing Holocaust denial; Hope not Hate doxed his real name as Peter Imanuelsen soon after the article was published.Far-right vlogger and Defend Europe supporter Peter Sweden’s real identity revealed by Morgan Finnsiö (01 08 17) Hope Not Hate.
In November 2017, the nasty tweets were deleted, and Imanuelsen's profile was changed to include the statement, "I despise Nazism, Communism and all other totalitarian ideologies whatever it's form."I despise Nazism, Communism and all other totalitarian ideologies whatever it's form.

However, many of Imanuelsen followers on Twitter are Neo-Nazis, while he still supports far-right political groups such as the Swedish Democrats.The right-wing Swedish Democrats are now the BIGGEST party in the latest Sentio poll.

==About the Swedish thing==
Inexplicably, Imanuelsen likes to pretend to be Swedish despite being a British national born in Norway who's lived over half his life in North Yorkshire. 
According to the anti-extremism research group Hope not Hate, Imanuelsen's family likely moved to the UK as part of a tax evasion scheme and that he owes £700,000 in tax debt to the Swedish government. He did live in Sweden from 1996 to 1999 and again from 2002 to 2004. So in total, he's only lived five years of his entire life in the country he's named himself after and, by his own admission, doesn't even live there currently (he claims to live in Norway, which is dubious at best).
When called out or questioned about this discrepancy, Imanuelsen claims that his family fled from Sweden to the UK due to political persecution. On other occasions, he's claimed that he only lived in the UK for a few months or to have moved there from Sweden in 2014. These are both untrue.
