VICE News will likely be bankrupt soon without a buyer.

When you get it wrong as often as VICE did, it becomes hard (if not impossible) to trust them as a source for… well anything.

Here are 10 headlines from the pandemic that didn’t age well for them:

1. The so-called crazy “anti-vaxxers” turned out to be right.

The Biden Admin fought to mandate covid vaccines in 2021 and didn’t even stop their pursuit despite public health authorities admitting the vaccines didn’t stop transmission/infection.

Published in 2020:

2. Not too long after the so-called “anti-vaxxers” were proven right. VICE moved on to bash doctors and nurses, many of whom had acquired natural immunity from bravely being on the frontlines in 2020—but due to mandates were now out of a job.

Published in 2021:

3. Has anyone checked on @AaronRodgers12 lately?

Last I heard, he was doing just fine. Which is an impressive considering how the “news outlets” pushing the approved government narrative treated him.

Published in 2021:

4. I’m pretty sure most people know how to protect themselves from MonkeyPox… 🙈🙉🙊

However, for what it’s worth, the MPOX shot also includes risks, such as myocarditis according to the CDC.

Published in 2022:

5. VICE acted like they knew better than parents for a child’s health.

VICE advised kids on how to secretly get a shot—even if the parents wanted their child to avoid the risk of myocarditis which has shown to impact youth (boys > girls) —and can be fatal.

Published in 2021:

6. “World Council for Health” is only a mysterious medical organization if you’re in the business of propaganda and not journalism.

If you’re a journalist, then you would know that the WCH is comprised of experts and doctors from all over the world.

Published in 2022:

7. The World Health Organization announced recently that they too no longer recommend healthy kids get the Covid-19 vaccine.

So, looks like @FLSurgeonGen was right. Yet, VICE tried to smear Florida’s guidance.

Published in 2022:

8. So, as it turns out VICE, Twitter and the CDC were all wrong here—the least they can do is issue a retraction or correct their story before they go down in history as wrong about so many things.

Published in 2021:

9. Never heard the rumor that VICE claimed happened, but I did hear @DjokerNole was seen as the face of freedom & bodily autonomy.

VICE News didn’t seem to support anyone who acknowledged their natural immunity/medical freedom. (Pretty fascist take if you ask me.)

Pub. 2022:

10. Last but not least, just last month VICE News posted this defamatory, false descriptor of Presidential Candidate RFK, Jr calling him Anti-Vaccine after he has publicly and repeatedly stated he is not—he is pro-safe vaccines.
