Fact Check: Fake CNN headline says all Democrats need latest COVID shot to vote
Reuters ^ | September 16, 2024 | Reuters Fact Check

Posted on 09/27/2024 8:13:56 PM PDT by DoodleBob

CNN did not report that U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris requires Democrats to take an updated COVID-19 vaccine to vote in the 2024 presidential election, as suggested by a fake screenshot shared on social media.

The image is made to resemble a report on the CNN website with the headline: “BREAKING: Kamala to require all democrats to take the updated covid shot in order to vote in November.”

It was posted on Facebook, opens new tab captioned, “End this madness, vote Republican!” and garnered comments such as, “I wonder why they don't force the 24 million illegals to take it?”

However, Emily Kuhn, a spokesperson for CNN, said in an email that the image is fabricated and “not something CNN reported.”

There is also no evidence of such an article on CNN's website, opens new tab nor any announcement, opens new tab from the Democratic Party referring to mandatory vaccination.

The fake screenshot emerged online just days after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Aug. 22 approved updated COVID-19 vaccines targeting recent variants of the virus ahead of a vaccination campaign in the fall of 2024.

You beat me to it. An election parody had better be clearly labeled as such. Otherwise, you’re off to federal prison - especially if the parody targets a Democrat.

I recall that Hillary poster incident. The prankster made the fatal error of including Hillary’s copyrighted election symbol on his poster. It just looked too real. So a fair argument could be made that it really was election interference.

Kamala:

You can stick your vaccine “boo$ter” up your arse,
You can stick your vaccine “boo$ter” up your arse,
You can stick your vaccine “boo$ter”,
With your cock-a-doodle dooster,
You can stick your vaccine “boo$ter” up your arse!

This sounds reasonable to me. After all, she’s taken a few “injections” over the years...

I’m inclined to believe they already got the updated shot. They’re demonrats after all.
