By simplying it into a slogan only adds to the confusion. Seems unrelated to Bell experiments. OTOH, the MWI denies non-locality via the Many Worlds it hypothesizes.

As I've said before, the experimental fact that Bell's Inequality is violated proves that REALISTIC local hidden variables cannot exist in a DETERMINISTIC universe.
