1) The OP story is a satirical piece. It's not "disinformation" and it's not "fake news" as that term is currently used. Some of the stories in the Vancouver Times are funny when viewed as straight satire. This one, not so much.

2) The vaccine is not garbage. It was, however, oversold in terms of what it could and could not do.

I have one daughter with Asthma and my oldest was born with Down Syndrome. Both would be at heightened risk if infected, so we all got vaxxed because originally the vaccine was said to reduce the risk of infection AND transmission.

Subsequent studies, i,e,. Lancet October 2021, found little if any difference between the transmission rates of vaxxed versus non-vaxxed populations. This may have been due to the difference between the alpha and delta COVID variants, but some of the "fact-checking" sites were still quoting sources saying that transmission rates were reduced by getting vaxxed.

Still, it was/is worthwhile to get vaxxed to reduce the likelihood of contracting COVID.

Not true. Its clinical trials did not test for transmission and Pfizer never said it did. It was tested to see if it was safe and if it prevented disease (and it is and does) and that's what Pfizer said. This latest meme is yet another tempest in a teapot that just popped up in the last couple of weeks in the wingnut echo chamber.

Less infected because of the vaccine, less transmission......


Sad how there are people who can't handle the truth, so will take comfort in lies. saying they are entitled to their beliefs..

Then try to convince others of the lie.

A lie is just that, a lie.

Look it up if you don't believe me.

Oh you get you info from the dream weavers.....

You couldn't have read and understood the posts refuting the insane ones posts and then posted what you did unless you're an anti-vaxxer troll.

I didn't know what a troll was until Dan (427) accused me of being a troll on AK.

Those were the days my friends.

It's too late, now.

They probably don't even keep count of all the people that die from medical experiments. Hell, they can't even keep track of the people that disappear in the national parks. 411s they call them.
