An incredulous video about the alleged side effects of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine inspired many on social media to share parody versions of it.
Say what you may about their thoughts on lifesaving vaccines, but you've got to admit anti-vaxxers are pretty creative when it comes to pushing their cause. One example of this is a video from 2021 that allegedly shows a woman violently shaking after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Although debunked by multiple publications, the clip has now once again resurfaced on social media as a supposed cautionary tale. Despite the CDC clearly stating that the side effects of the vaccine don't include spasming or shaking, many continue to post videos suggesting it to be one of the side effects.
"URGENT— Angelia, 45, a healthcare worker was mandated to take Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine, 3 days later paralyzed from legs down, followed by severe convulsions and seizures, can no longer, clean, cook, drive a car, requires full-time caretaker, 'I'm a prisoner in my own home,'" reads a tweet shared by the Twitter account @healthbyjames on January 20 which features the same video.
The incredulous video and the intense tale spun around it inspired many on social media to make parody versions of the tweet and share videos of people having fake convulsions and dancing as a supposed side-effect of the vaccine.
Here are 25 of the funniest parodies we found:
