FEMA ‘Requiring’ Covid-19 Vaccinations From Tornado Victims
When tornadoes swept through the U.S. this month, entire towns were decimated. The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency helped people get emergency shelter, but an article went viral claiming people needed to be vaccinated against covid-19 to receive any assistance. But the claim was nonsense.
The article, published by a fake news site called Best News Here and circulated on social media platforms like Twitter, claimed that “the Department of Homeland Security has empowered FEMA to withhold disaster relief until persons declare their vaccination status, supply proof of vaccination, or submit to mandatory shots.”
The claim was fake and debunked by the AFP news outlet, which spoke with FEMA about the absurd article.
“The premise is false,” FEMA spokeswoman Jaclyn Rothenberg told AFP. “Vaccination status does not determine whether or not survivors receive supplies and support.”
And after that, all the fake stuff vanished and now everything on the internet is true. Just kidding. We’ll see you next year.
