In what can only be described as a comedy of errors, an Argentinian TV news channel delivered a stunning, if slightly flawed, scoop on Thursday night when it reported that William Shakespeare, “one of the most important writers in the English language” had died five months after receiving the Covid vaccine.
The gaffe of, well, Shakespearean proportions happened after Noelia Novillo, a newsreader on Canal 26, mixed up the Bard with William “Bill” Shakespeare, an 81-year-old Warwickshire man who became the second person in the world to get the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.

I'd imagine there's still some bad blood between Argentina and Britain left over from the Malvinas War.

In the Argentinians’ defense, if the CCP virus victim had been named Miguel Cervantes instead of William Shakespeare, is it that hard to imagine a U.S. station or even CNN describing the victim as a popular and influential Spanish writer?

Well, he was 457 years old, so he might have died without the jab, too. He was way up in the high risk category.

Just smile and look pretty, honey. +/- 400 years is in the ballpark.

Britain spent a great deal of blood and treasure to keep the name: Falklands—which I readily acknowledge.

It’s big time dopey but to their credit they reported actual news. I’ll take the comedy routine over American censorship.
