No offense intended toward the poster of the thread, this is fake.

Fact Check-Fake headline from The Conversation asks why the unvaccinated didn't ‘warn’ the vaccinated, January 23, 2023.

"The circulated screenshot is dated June 6, 2023, five months in the future at the time of this writing." "Examples of the screenshot can be viewed (here), (here)."

Note the dates on the tweet and screenshot. The Tweet is from January 23, 2023, the screenshot says June 6, 2023.

There's this on IQfy.com from wonkette: Fake 'Woke' Site Dupes Conservatives Desperate To Prove The Left Has Lost It June 06, 2022 10:55 AM.

For years, a hallmark of right-wing disinformation has been a tactic I like to call "trollception." Hoaxers come up with an imaginary new thing to say "SJWs" or "woke" people believe, then they get outraged about the imaginary thing that is not actually happening. We've seen it before with 4chan campaigns like #EndFathersDay, where users of the site created a bunch of fake Twitter profiles, mostly of Black women, and pretended they were trying to cancel Father's Day for feminism, because of how all men are evil.

OK, that's a left wing view of iqfy.com. What's there to back it up? The article from The Conversation: COVID: unvaccinated people may be seen as ‘free riders’ and face discrimination, which was used to create the fake screen shot above.

Site and articles like this are not sarcasm or comedy. They are clickbait scams and articles like this pretending to be serious are the same as faking hate crimes. They make conservatives look bad for falling for it and validate what progressives want to think of us.

Maybe IQfy.com needs the same treatment as Zerohedge and not welcome here?

And if you went to the actual article on IQfy.com, you would have noticed that there is no date on it. Not June 2023 or even January 2023. There is no author listed either. So who published it first?
