In recent days, an advertising poster has been relayed on social networks, in particular by Internet users hostile to vaccination against Covid-19. While it is claimed that this is a vaccination campaign in France for babies, it is actually a photomontage.
“With my two vaccines, Grandpa and Grandma will be near the tree” would say the baby on this poster encouraging the French to get vaccinated against both the flu and the Covid-19. Shared by accounts rather opposed to vaccination, the image is in fact the result of a photomontage based on a real campaign aimed at the general public launched in 2021.
Similarly, several publications relay what is presented as the cover of the German magazine Stern. On the front page, Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission is portrayed as “the most criminal woman in Europe”. Again, this is image manipulation.
