A mysterious marketing agency secretly offered to pay social media stars to spread disinformation about Covid-19 vaccines. Their plan failed when the influencers went public about the attempt to recruit them.

"It started with an email" says Mirko Drotschmann, a German YouTuber and journalist.

Mirko normally ignores offers from brands asking him to advertise their products to his more than 1.5 million subscribers. But the sponsorship offer he received in May this year was unlike any other.

Social Media Stars.

OK. Like there is really such a thing.

And any rational person would care about what such losers had to say.

"Disformation?"...

(1) "Vaccine" approved via emergency authorization
(2) Serious heart side effects reported in teens from Pfizer shot
(3) Large percentages of vaxxed individuals are being hospitalized with "delta" variant whereas those who already had Covid are not.

See? Everything you think you hear from trusted “social media stars” about “bad information” is just that! They’re just taking money.

This story from the BBC you can trust! We’re not taking money - we assure you our information is GUD!

The YouTubers who blew

Yes they certainly did.

They ran out of money in the Gay Bar and did what they had to.

total bs story, meant to justify the asinine rights-violating crackdown in ‘misinformation’ by the left-

The left can’t stand it that people have freedom of speech

The BBC, the chief outlet for propaganda, disinformation and dirty tricks in the UK for as long as I can remember. Only they are now worse then before.

Where?

In the US 97% of those hospitalized haven't been vaccinated at all.

What does anyone have to monetarily gain by discrediting vaccinations?

I don’t get that.

IF the anti-vax message is a lie, who benefits from people believing it is true?

I watch alot of youtube.....boaters and motor vehicle posts along with a vast array of DIY items....as far as news or “influencers” ahhhh nah! Sadly there are so many who are easily swayed (to lazy to read all sources) and will parrot what they see and hear.... I have been going to rumble and I hope they blossom as I know how bias and censorship abounds on (Google) youtube.

As much as it disturbs you there are plenty of them and people actually watch them, some even care what they think, unlike your readers.
