There’s a new social media trend.

People are posting videos of themselves shaking uncontrollably — claiming its a side effect of the Covid-19 vaccination.

The problem is that these shakes look mighty suspect — meaning the people are faking — and they also don’t seem like the type of people who would be vaccinated in the first place.

They come off as right wing nuts. Their intention is to scare people away from getting vaccinated or boosted. I mean seriously — who else would fake a video of themselves forcing themselves to shake like an idiot???

It’s wrong.

If you don’t want to be vaccinated or boosted, that’s your prerogative.

However, why try to discourage other people from doing so???

Check some of the videos out for yourself —

This woman even convinced someone to hospitalize her for tests. At least she claims so…
