Over the past 2 weeks there have been many, many, instances on social media of posts alleging to be from military that are supposedly resigning rather than get a COVID shot. In nearly every case, the social media posts upon fact checking have turned out to be very lazy fakes. The posts used incorrect titles that don't exist, people that had already retired years ago, dates that don't even match up to the claims, etc.
So the question is why are people lying and faking resignations, and doing it a lot? It is in order to try to build support for an argument that other people wouldn't otherwise support. An argument that takes lying and misinformation to support it is in the wrong. Anti-vaxxers were hoping there would be mass military resignations over the COVID shot to support their fantasy that the majority doesn't want it. That didn't happen because most people believe in science, they understand that that *180 MILLION* people worldwide have been vaccinated without issues, that it helps reduce the effects/duration/spread of COVID, and that nearly 5 million worldwide have been killed by it so it is a real disease. They also understand it's FDA approved now, and has been in use for ~1.5 years, so this isn't even new anymore or something just starting to undergo testing. I've heard anti-vaxxers claim the vaccinated would all die in 9 months from getting it, and we're already way past that for millions that got it in 2020, debunking that too. Trump confirmed he and Melania were fully vaccinated in December 2020 before leaving office, so even he's more than 9 months out. When an argument can't be supported by facts or reason, then using misinformation like fake resignations or fabricating baseless conspiracy theories is all people have.
