If it was a faked photo of a Covid vaccine death, my first thought is that the whole story was dreamed up by a Hard Left prankster deliberately trying to entrap trusting Conservatives.
From the article:
“ The nearly four-minute montage that included West’s story originated on “The HighWire,” an online talk show hosted by Del Bigtree that is popular among the anti-vaccine community, and gradually became magnified via social media.
It takes the viewer through more than 50 cases of medical emergencies in rapid succession while eerie music plays and a beating heart pulses in the background, ending with somber images of medics and teammates rushing to fallen athletes.”

Making money while the clicks keep coming must be a very powerful addiction.
I believe that’s why every day some of these Blog sites come up with new explosive drama filled false information daily.
Like an Auto factory…….constant manufacturing.
One can’t just say, “The Vaccines are Evil” and expect to get clicks.
It has be something big, bombshell, excitingly dramatic.
My thought too that it could be a story invented by leftists to discredit real stories. It screams out like a gay slur spray painted on a garage door. It seems a majority turn out to be politically motivated hoaxes to make conservatives look bad. I don’t know that about this story, but it seems very strange.
Exactly. All they have to do is take a legitimate story, like all the recent sudden deaths that have been happening, and create misinformation about it. The mainstream media (and many politicians) will then run with that particular story.
They are often chomping at the bit to “fact check” slight misinformation on a single Facebook post with about 2,000 shares. I saw one MSM outlet did a “fact check” on such a post about the EV-related stock purchases by Nancy Pelosi’s husband earlier this year.
It was judged to be partial misinformation because the stock wasn’t bought by Nancy, and because at that point, her husband only bought options (as was publicly disclosed) for some of the stock, and not the actual stock itself. There was no concern from the MSM about the Pelosi family’s stock/option buying, just for that slight misinformation, which really wasn’t that far off (certainly the MSM over the years has a much worse track record), and overall, the meme did much more journalistic “good” than “misinformation” harm.
I actually found a link to this story, which also excoriates the “little people” from doing what is our right and duty—questioning the suspicious-looking actions of people in power.
Oh, wait. Sorry. Forgive my major bit of misinformation in my last post. The Facebook post that prompted the USA Today “fact check” didn’t have a mere 2,000 shares. It had over 5,000!
“...The post has over 5,100 shares.
“USA TODAY has reached out to the poster for comment.”
Meanwhile, Hollywood stars themselves publish how much misinformation a day, with how many share/retweets? And that’s to say nothing of the media and politicians.
