US drug-maker Pfizer has followed up its CEO’s denunciation of Covid-19 vaccine “misinformation” by tweeting a cartoon about “science” protecting humanity from “wild conspiracy theories” – and disabling the replies.
The cartoon shows a blob labeled “science” holding back a humanoid figure from embracing a bubble labeled “wild conspiracy theories.”
“It’s easy to get distracted by misinformation these days, but don’t worry… Science has got your back,” Pfizer’s corporate account tweeted on Tuesday evening, along with a hashtag #ScienceWillWin.
The option to reply was disabled. This did not seem to stop people rationing the tweet, with over 3,000 quote-tweets compared to just 300 or so likes within less than two hours.
“Pfizer denies science, that’s why it obtained a legal waiver of responsibility. No one harmed by Pfizer’s vaccines can sue the drug manufacturer,” said filmmaker Mike Cernovich, responding with his own version of the meme.
