They died suddenly - then the anti-vax trolling started
A new "documentary" falsely blames Covid vaccines for deaths of young people.
www.bbc.co.uk
"The film flashes through dozens of upsetting news reports and images of people collapsing.
One headline reads: "My kind, compassionate son died unexpectedly." Another clip shows a young athlete dramatically keeling over.
Together, this can easily be used to paint an alarming picture of something suspicious going on.
Yet just a couple more clicks would reveal the son in question died in a car crash. And the athlete, college basketball player Keyontae Johnson, collapsed in December 2020 before he could even have had a Covid vaccine. He didn't die suddenly as the title suggests - he returned to the court last week.
Other people featured are also still alive. And several of the genuine deaths are explained by an alternative cause within the very news reports used as evidence by the film makers."
I haven't seen the film but it would be pretty disgusting if it were true. How hard can it be to fact check your own movie? Peddling lies and distortions just makes people more likely to think you're cooky, regardless of the truth.
