I see fundraising off of dead people.

Once again, here's Rebel News' Ezra Levant, being particularly ghoulish and opportunistic in cranking up the anti-vax outrage by milking the tragedy of a local college football player dying inexplicably shortly after a game:



And while Ezra has absolutely no fucking idea what happened here, he will, of course -- for the purpose of fundraising -- speculate wildly and irresponsibly that, hey, you can't prove it wasn't a reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine.

Ezra goes out of his way to downplay the fact that this happened shortly after a game, which makes the idea that it was the fault of a vaccination shot really pretty silly since 1) there is nothing in the news reports detailing whether Perron was vaccinated, and 2) it's wildly unlikely that someone who would have had a deadly reaction to a vaccine shot would have been perfectly fine to play a full game of football first, only to collapse afterwards.

But, hey, it's Ezra, who once assured us that ...

The best definition of Ezra comes from rationalwiki:
"Ezra Levant (1972–) is a far right-wing Canadian media personality, and has been a central figure in trying (and failing) to manufacture an identical wingnut conservative propaganda platform in Canada similar to Fox News in the United States.

Through his work as a columnist for various conservative rags, his short-lived and little watched prime time show on the now defunct Sun News Network, and currently with his "angry, hate-filled, unapologetic and surprisingly successful Breitbart North"[2] online hate factory, self-aggrandizingly called The Rebel Media, Levant has been a leading voice in Canada for climate change denial, Islamophobia, xenophobia, racism, sexism, homophobia, general anti-intellectualism and most bizarrely has lent his platform to anti-semitism despite himself being Jewish."


His ilk needs to be mocked for its batshit crazy until most of the intolerant have been erased from political discourse in Canada.

Any bets on whether, at the funeral, David Menzies shows up and yells questions about vaccines at the family from the parking lot?
