Snopes is for dopes!

Snopes is just part of the MSM propaganda machine.

Did

The "head of Pfizer research" said the COVID-19 vaccine developed by the pharmaceutical company "is female sterilization."

No

Wodarg and Yeadon stated that the Pfizer vaccine blocks a protein that is key in the formation of the placenta in mammals, and they claimed that it’s possible women who receive the vaccine could become infertile.

So it's not sterilization, but women may become infertile...

and the difference is....

Oh, I see - they're not trying to sterilize anyone, it's just one of those rare adverse reactions.

If you need a fact checker to make a decision, perhaps those facts just elude you in the first place.

This is extremely typical in modern day journalism.

Paragraph 4, sentence 7 completely debunks the headline of it's own article.

Seems retarded to believe in an image rather than link to the Snopes article, which clarifies why this is definitely false:

The claim is from a letter that is actively spreadying false information and is not related at all to Phizer's trials.

Both Wodarg and Yeadon have spread COVID-19 misinformation in the past. Yeadon falsely claimed in an October 2020 blog post that the “pandemic is effectively over.” Wodarg falsely claimed in a March 2020 YouTube video that the virus was no more harmful than the seasonal flu.

Yeadon falsely claimed in an October 2020 blog post that the “pandemic is effectively over.” Wodarg falsely claimed in a March 2020 YouTube video that the virus was no more harmful than the seasonal flu.

So the same thing that officials at the time were saying? The Washington Post called it "just the flu" around the same time, and Nancy Pelosi told San Franciscans to go hug Chinese People and to decry Trump's "racist" border closing with China. Those are not serious enough missteps to mean that they're de facto wrong about this.

How about actually addressing the claim?

I did address the claim, as did Snopes, per the link.
