DISINFO: The vaccination of the Polish Prime Minister with AstraZeneca is propaganda worse than Hitler’s
SUMMARY
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced on Twitter that he would be vaccinated against COVID-19 with the AstraZeneca vaccine. This information caused a wave of dissatisfaction among Internet users. It is propaganda worse than Hitler’s. Goebbels could have learned a lot from the [Polish] Government if he was alive. Western Europe limits the use of this vaccine, while the Polish Premier vaccinates with it.
RESPONSE
Disinformation that advances pro-Kremlin narratives against the COVID-19 vaccines produced in the USA and Europe.
The comparison of the actions of Polish authorities to the “propaganda of Hitler and Goebbels” is defamation and evident manipulation.
On 18 March 2021, EMA confirmed that the benefits of the AstraZeneca vaccine still outweigh the risks despite the possible link to rare blood clots with low blood platelets. On 23 April 2021, the European Medicine Agency confirmed its previous position on the AstraZeneca vaccine.
