Shopify API - 06 January 2021

Hello bigboss! How are you all today? I hope you are always healthy, your sustenance is abundant, and all your activities are made easy!

You need to know, recently, a photo has been circulating claiming to show the packaging of a new coronavirus (covid-19) vaccine produced by Pfizer. In the photo circulating on social media, the Pfizer-made covid-19 vaccine is in the form of an e-cigarette or vape.

Facebook user Austin Sidney Palmer shared the photo on December 21, 2020. On the packaging photo, there was text that read "Coronavirus Vaccine Covid-19 and Vaporizer Cartridge." At the bottom of the packaging, there was also a note that the vaccine was made in China.

Is it true that Pfizer also produces a covid-19 vaccine in the form of a vape or electronic cigarette? Here's the fact check:

From the results of the investigation, the claim that Pfizer also produces a covid-19 vaccine in the form of a vape or electronic cigarette is false. In fact, the photo is a hoax.

As reported by Reuters Fact Check, the image showing a Pfizer-branded coronavirus vaccine "vaporizer cartridge" is fake. "This is a hoax: pharmaceutical company Pfizer has not released a vape vaccine to combat COVID-19." Reuters in a report titled "Fact check: COVID-19 ‘vape vaccine’ is a hoax" published on December 21, 2020.

The shared photo shows a package containing a cartridge to be used in an electronic cigarette and inhaled as a "single dose" vaccine cartridge. There are signs that the label was printed as a joke.

Reuters contacted Pfizer via email, stating that the vaporizer cartridge was fake. The real Pfizer vaccine is injected into the upper arm and administered as two doses 21 days apart.
