FACT CHECK: Wild Conspiracy Theory Linking Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine to ‘Lucifer’ Goes Viral

A recent flurry of social media activity regarding the Pfizer vaccine seems aimed at worsening vaccine hesitancy among Christians, particularly evangelicals.

A clip that has gained traction on social media includes excerpts from an interview that Melissa Strickler, a former quality assurance and quality control manager at Pfizer, gave to LifeSiteNews, a “pro-life” news website that has previously spread COVID-19 disinformation. Earlier, Strickler falsely claimed that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for COVID-19 may contain fetal cells.

In the interview, Strickler claimed that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine “glows.” She added that the only components that could make the vaccine glow “are SM-102, which is called Luciferase, and graphene oxide.”

When asked to describe what she means by glows, Strickler replied: “[I]t looks like someone took a blue glow stick, cracked it open, and poured it in the vial,” adding that it “only glows if there’s light and if it’s around a dark surrounding.”

Emerald Robinson, the White House correspondent for Newsmax, was among those who retweeted the clip, rhetorically asking her Twitter followers: “Dear Christians: why would you inject something with LUCIFERASE into your body?”

The claim that the Pfizer vaccine contains any ingredients that make it glow in the dark is false. Attempts to connect the vaccine to the enzyme luciferase are intended to stoke fears connected to the end-time beliefs held by some Christian denominations.

Could you prove what you are telling in the video in front of a legal court? ?

I suggest to Pfizer to share the ingredients of the vaccine now, instead of waiting 75 years. That will be helpful to defend their position.

And who sponsors all the media? Yeah fizeeeer.

From all the names in the world they couldn't fine something else but luciferase....wtf..

You are wrong!! She is right! I visited the Pfizer website back in July 2019, 6 months before anyone would learn about covid19. I was researching their new mRNA technology for vaccines and was especially interested in Luciferase. Their website listed it as an ingredient and explained it's use as well. The Luciferase, along with the Crisper technology they used was so alarming to me that I immediately shared links to all their pages along with screenshots on my Facebook account. Sadly, only a handful of people seemed capable of understanding. Regardless, it's you that's wrong. Pfizer of course had changed their pages by the next time I visited, probably 9 months or so later. But they can never change my screenshots. I know the truth and so does that woman!

Oh Pfizer enough already 🙄I’m praying one day the whole world will know the truth.

[meisdetermined]

Oh look I typed Melissa and her last name and YouTube made sure this came up first…even though her name isn’t in the title. That’s not sketchy at all. Lol

[BaronNate]

that's funny, I just watched a news report where they said straight from the manufacturer's mouth, that Yes it does have SM 102 but it is "safe" for human consumption. At least get your lies in line with one another. LOL

"Seek TRUTH and TRUTH will set you free", said Jesus Christ and I believe him.

[beonly]

This video was useless. Since nobody can prove what is actually in the 💉💉 anything is possible.

[brooksremaley]

I’m not sure this is true, but I heard that a local funeral home is giving away free coffins with proof of your 10th vaccination.

[nextuplevelup]

Let’s talk about Nature immunity… or HERD IMMUNITY (which we’ve Already accomplished).. we should test everyone for anti bodies- some people don’t need the vacc yet we Force them to get it Anyway… it doesn’t make sense

[BenjaminDamoncycle]

Words have lost meaning. Why are people duped and gas lighted? Because there was no transparency to the process.
Publish the full list of ingredients. Publish the safety study data. Answer your actual critics instead of telling them to sit and shutup.

[MonsterSmart]

Oh thats so good we have factcheckers. I dont have to think myself anymore. good because it hurts.

[xqxxy]

And we're supposed to believe this channel over someone who actually worked there?? Yeah.
Let's go Brandon!!

[GrowingWithJames]

I see you got the "Show Dislikes" disabled lol

[LouisianaGatorGirl]

You have ZERO CREDIBILITY. Why would Ms. McAttee make up such a thing? She has nothing to gain and everything to lose, and as a matter of fact, was fired for exposing this. That's why I unsubscribed from your channel long, long ago.

[repent.sinner]

Whenever something says fact check i know im about to hear disinfomation.

[yveszwy]

Thats it? Thats your fact checking abilities?? Ending with " that's false'?
