This is a blatant lie being spread through Spanish language media - and particularly shamefully, by CNN Chile.
My thanks to @GiancarloSopo who has helped bring retractions from several major news outlets of this falsehood. Unfortunately, this one from @CNNChile remains up: cnnchile.com/mundo/joven-pe…
The idea that a lone sarcastic Tweet posted when you were a teenager could be used by international media organizations to smear you with fake news is the new reality.
In over 1,000 articles written at The Federalist, Bre never "campaigned against vaccines". We are also told she got her flu shot this year. Doesn't matter to the media - here's a sarcastic tweet we can misinterpret!
Of course, Bre would have just laughed about this, because she was a better person than I am. For me, it's just another example of how vile some media people can be.
