Fake vaccinations? Empty syringes? Disappearing needles?
Holy magic show, Batman. And you thought you were just watching pictures and videos of people getting the Covid-19 vaccine.
Social media is now being peppered with claims that the Covid-19 vaccine is a hoax, that vaccinations with the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are being staged, that people aren’t actually getting real vaccines.
Yep, apparently the argument is that Covide-19 vaccination is more like Operation Penn and Teller, Operation David Copperfield, or Operation Shin Lim. Either people or bots are suggesting that the whole “look I’m getting the Covid-19 vaccine” is really using sleight of hand or perhaps sleight of arm and syringe to fool you.
For example, there’s the old “disappearing needle” trick. You know the one that you always use at birthday parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and bridal showers when the cake or stripper hasn’t arrived yet? Here’s how this trick is supposed to work.
A needle appears to be going into a person’s arm. But then voilà the needle disappears just like all criminal punishments after a Presidential pardon. So it looks like you got an injection when you really didn’t.
