Pro-vaccine “hero” vs. an anti-vax “villain”: ‘Bad Vaxx’ video stirs MAHA backlash

A video game billed as a “‘vaccine’ against disinformation” is drawing criticism for the “inoculation” strategies it employs — and because its developers have ties to government and military entities, Big Tech and the Gates Foundation.

“Bad Vaxx,” launched last year, promises to help kids “build resilience against vaccination misinformation.”

Users can play as a pro-vaccine “hero” or an anti-vax “villain.”

Scientists who created the game said players demonstrated a greater ability to “spot manipulation techniques in social media posts,” and were less likely to share “manipulative content” on social media.

Ginger Taylor, former executive director of the Maine Center for Vaccine Choice, said “Bad Vaxx” is another attempt by the public health establishment to boost vaccine uptake at a time when a growing number of people are questioning vaccine safety or declining vaccination for themselves or their children.
