Anti-Vaxxer’s Video Featuring Man Having Fake Seizure After COVID Shot Goes Viral On Gay Twitter
This is so stupid, and yet, it’s too funny not to share.
James Cintolo—a phony registered nurse and so-called “expert on medical health” on Twitter who’s actually just another MAGA anti-vax grifter who’s been peddling conspiracy theories since launching his account in January of 2022—posted the below video of someone he says was having a seizure after receiving an AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, and people are definitely not buying it. As many pointed out in the replies to the tweet, people don’t grasp their opposite arm while having a unilateral seizure, and also, the AstraZeneca vaccine is viral vector, not mRNA, so even if this were real, it does nothing to prove anti-vaxxer nonsense about the mRNA vaccines. Here’s the video, which has nearly two million views and thousands of replies since being posted two days ago:
Chris Williams took an AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, shortly after he had frequent seizures, a blot clot, muscle back joint pain, and dilated cardiomyopathy (heart failure). He hasn’t worked, is now disabled, had to remortgage house, and is losing his business. pic.twitter.com/iTlPzzIf7s

The hilarious replies to the fake seizure video (which has no date, no context, and no explanation for the lady with the long nails) did give me hope that perhaps Twitter isn’t that bad after all. A sampling of the best:
Weird how the date keeps changing… and how he’s been housebound but able to be out on the town both past Christmas seasons 🤔 pic.twitter.com/VZB6z7ODrK
