The pandemic has caused people to do a lot of strange things, but this might go down in history as one of the most bizarre attempts to encourage vaccination ever attempted.
During a Dallas City Council open-mic, a man who has been identified as Alex Stein approached the microphone and decided to rap about how great the COVID-19 vaccine is. The disconcerting and satirical show of adoration for the jab was uncomfortable, cringe-y, and downright painful to watch, even if it is a joke.
The entire thing was posted to YouTube by Stein, who doesn’t seem the least bit ashamed of what he’s done.
Watch:
It appears that Stein is no stranger to these kinds of antics. According to a write-up by a local media outlet, he is not only a frequent speaker at these civic open-mics, but he’s dabbled in reality TV as well.

Twitter users weren’t impressed by Stein’s song and dance:
When I see this, I know our propaganda has worked beautifully.
People losing their minds because their scared to death.

Wow. I’m now a staunch anti-vax person after that.

Serious question, from someone outside looking in, why is America so completely jam packed full of cringe?

If cringing were fatal, I would be six-feet under. OMG.

This makes me want to un-vaccinate myself.

We can all be thankful he spent long hours working on that instead of out in society pestering people.
