I didn’t think it was possible, but Pfizer has somehow found a way to sink to a new low.
They are taking aim at children in a new propaganda effort.
Pfizer has teamed with woke Marvel Comics to release a digital comic book which features the Avengers promoting the coronavirus vaccine.
In the comic, the Avengers team up to battle Ultron, who acts as a stand-in for the coronavirus itself.
Trending: FACT-CHECK: Is The Butt Baby Real?
At one point in the comic, the dialogue mentions that the Avengers need to “keep adapting and re-strategizing,” because Ultron “keeps changing and evolving.”
This is of course a reference to COVID-19 and its “variants.”
The comic also makes reference to “everyday heroes” who help by taking the vaccine.
Pfizer is now taking some heat from the medical community for “ethically dubious” propaganda.
Guess I’m done with all things Marvel, now. https://t.co/sHn8OefUsA

Our friends at Breitbart report on Pfizer’s latest PR stunt:
Marvel Comics has teamed up with Big Pharma giant Pfizer for a digital comic book featuring Captain America and the Avengers promoting the company’s coronavirus vaccines.
The theme of the comic defines people who take the vaccine as “everyday heroes,” according to a Pfizer Instagram post from Thursday.
“Today, Pfizer and BioNTech announced our new collaboration with Marvel Comics, the Sept. 6 post reads. “Together we created a custom comic book featuring the Avengers who fight to protect their community. We hope that people around the world enjoy reading the comic book… At Pfizer, we encourage people to come together to help protect themselves by staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations.”
When Ultron wreaks havoc, the Avengers act as the first line of defense. People can help protect themselves by staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations. Head to https://t.co/PfNUYTZlkj to get a first look at Pfizer, BioNTech, and Marvel’s comic book! pic.twitter.com/hwhRateYIB

Pfizer has partnered with Marvel to produce a comic urging people to get their autumn boosters. This kind of propaganda, sugar-coating state-approved messages, used to be the preserve of communist regimes. Not any more. https://t.co/FFNWbJTG2j

This is desperate from Pfizer as they sponsor Marvel super heroes to persuade people to get their boosters.
The evil Ultron from the Avengers tries to stop a grandfather getting his jab.

Needless to say, Pfizer’s pro-vaccine comic hasn’t gone over that well.
Daily Mail has more on the backlash from the medical community:
Professor David Livermore, a former medical microbiologist at the University of East Anglia, told MailOnline he is ‘deeply saddened’ by the PR stunt.
He said children ‘are at virtually zero risk of developing severe Covid’.
Pfizer is also currently pushing for its new bivalent booster vaccine to be approved for children aged five to 11.
Professor Livermore said: ‘Propaganda comic strips aimed at children — who lack the knowledge of complex immunology and vaccinology needed to make an informed decision — are ethically dubious in the extreme.
‘They have no place in medicine or public health.’
If only they told the truth about these vaccines…
