Fact Check: Coronavirus Patients on a Smoke Break? Was the pandemic a lie?
A video is going viral on X (formerly Twitter) that shows Coronavirus patients on a smoke break. It deems the pandemic to be a lie. The post reads: “During Covid – Legacy Media regularly wheeled out the body bags, giving the illusion of mass deaths from a deadly virus. Of course, it was all a lie. Sometimes crisis actors with a nicotine addiction got so bored pretend waiting to die, they simply had to light up there & then.”
Fact Check
However, upon conducting a reverse image search after screenshotting a snippet of the video, the DFRAC team found that the claim was misleading. It is from the ‘making of the video’ clip for the Russian artist, Husky’s new music video ‘Never Ever.’ It was taken during a break in the filming of the video.
Conclusion
Therefore, it is confirmed by DFRAC that the viral video showing Coronavirus patients having a smoke break is misleading. It is from behind the scenes for a music video of a Russian music artist.
