We have gotten used to anti-vaccine influencers posting propaganda about vaccines.
What’s rare, though, is when they admit that they are posting propaganda about COVID vaccines…
That Time Alex Berenson Admitted to Posting Propaganda About COVID Vaccines
Propaganda blaming Chris Murphy’s stroke on COVID vaccines.
Propaganda blaming Chris Murphy’s stroke on COVID vaccines, even though he apparently didn’t “necessarily think that the shots played any role in Murphy’s stroke.”
Well, he doesn’t “necessarily think that the shots played any role in Murphy’s stroke,” except that he is still pushing the idea that since COVID vaccines are linked to some vascular problems, then maybe they still caused his stroke…
Wait, what vascular problems?
“No increased risk of ischemic stroke was found following bivalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, influenza vaccination, or their coadministration in this multi-site SCCS study. These findings are consistent with previous studies and underscore the importance of continued vaccine safety monitoring.”
Ischemic stroke after bivalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccination and influenza vaccination during the 2022-2023 season: a multi-site self-controlled case series study
It’s not stroke!
There was one well-known, rare, vascular problem, the one that could lead to dangerous cerebral venous blood clots, but that was only with the J&J and AstraZeneca vaccines, which haven’t been available for some time now. These clots are not a complication of mRNA vaccines.
And then there is myocarditis and pericarditis. But this rare risk mostly occurs in younger males. Also, it hasn’t been a problem with the latest COVID vaccines! Plus, myocarditis and pericarditis is not a stroke…
So, his explanation of shifting the blame on vascular problems doesn’t hold water.
What does make sense?
“…most of all I am still angry about the way Murphy and other politicians treated me…”
Alex Berenson
It makes sense that Alex Berenson continues to post anti-vaccine propaganda because he is angry that no one took his anti-COVID vaccine rants seriously.
It looks like his motivation is not to better inform his readers, but rather to feed his personal grievances.
