Anti-Vaxxer Naomi Wolf Posted Fake Quote by Fake Doctor... But Real Adult Film Star
READ TIME: 3 MIN.
Would you take a shot from this man?
A vaccine shot, that is, because the man in the pic only has played a doctor in adult films and may not be authorized to perform them, unless there is something missing from. Johnny Sins' resume.
Pics of Sins playing doctors, cops and firemen have been parts of memes over the years. "The meme universe loves him and you will find some of the funniest meme templates based on him. One of the most hilarious types of meme is the one where his pictures as a doctor or policeman are used as the background for seemingly profound quotes. Now for people who get the sarcasm, these memes serve as the funniest thing ever, BUT for people who don't get it, THEY become the funniest thing ever on the internet," writes the website Latest LY.
There is even a Pinterest page dedicated to his many memes.
The latest victim is feminist, conspiracy theorist and anti-vaxxer Naomi Wolf, who was pranked by Intercept reporter Ken Klippenstein into posting a fake, anti-vaccination quote from "Dr. John Sins" along with the pic of the star who has appeared in such films as "Creampie Diaries," "It's a Mommy Thing!," and the "Double D-Tention," amongst the 2000+ films he's made over his career.
"Hello Dr. Wolf, huge fan of your work. Admire your outspokenness," Klippenstein wrote impersonating Sins. The quote, attributed to "Dr. John Sins, MD," reads, "If a vaccine is effective, then why do you need to pressure people to take it? Informed consent means letting patients make their own choices." Wolf proceeded to post the pic and the quote without checking if Dr. John Sins was real.
In 2019, Wolf was under fire for the accuracy of her book "Outrages" that had just been published in the UK after "BBC Radio 3 host Matthew Sweet noted during their interview that Wolf misunderstood the legal term 'death recorded' as homosexual men being prosecuted and executed during the Victorian era, in reference to the Obscene Publications Act of 1857," reported The Guardian. "Outrages" offers "a historical examination of same-sex relations in the Victorian era and the ways in which they were criminalized," wrote the New York Times.
Wolf, the Times added, "was correcting portions of her latest book after an awkward radio interview in which she was alerted to major errors in it." But by October, 2019 Sweet said the errors hadn't been rectified. Then the book's American publisher Houghton-Mifflin pulled the book.
The inaccuracies were corrected for the UK paperback edition last November, but Sweet still found the book inaccurate. "Dr Wolf has misrepresented the experiences of victims of child abuse and violent sexual assault. This is the most profound offence against her discipline, as well as the memories of real people on the historical record," wrote Sweet.
"Wolf, an author and former political advisor to Bill Clinton and Al Gore, dedicates much of her Twitter feed these days to retweeting anti-vax and anti-mask propaganda. Last month, she told Tucker Carlson Tonight that President Joe Biden's efforts to curb the spread of coronavirus are turning the United States into a 'totalitarian state before our eyes,'" reports the Daily Dot.
