In a move that has sparked widespread controversy and disbelief, a radical leftist organization has released a holiday video that has left many feeling that nothing is sacred anymore. The video, which was intended to be a public service announcement promoting COVID-19 vaccination, took a dark turn by depicting the untimely death of Santa Claus due to the virus.
The group behind this contentious video is none other than The John Snow Project, known for their over-the-top messaging and controversial comparisons. In their latest attempt to influence public opinion, they have equated the spread of cholera in the 19th century—caused by contaminated drinking water—with the current COVID-19 pandemic. This comparison has been seen by many as a distasteful and desperate attempt to push their agenda during a time traditionally reserved for joy and family.

The video begins with a festive scene but quickly descends into tragedy as Santa Claus takes a deep breath and subsequently contracts COVID-19. The beloved figure’s demise is used as a shocking plot device to encourage vaccinations, even going so far as to suggest that vaccines may not be effective but should be taken regardless. This narrative has caused an uproar among parents and community members who feel that the portrayal is inappropriate and insensitive, especially for a season meant for hope and giving.
Critics argue that the shock value of killing off a cherished symbol of Christmas is a step too far in advocacy, crossing the line from informative to offensive. The use of fear and the subversion of a children’s icon are seen as tactics that undermine the spirit of the holiday rather than promote health and safety.
In a bid for more lockdowns this winter, the Zero-COVID “John Snow Project” made this very disturbing Christmas video. Are they nuts, evil, or both?

Santa took a deep breath.
If only he’d known
it would lead to his death.”pic.twitter.com/HVhckFWU2V— Michael P Senger (@michaelpsenger) December 15, 2023
The backlash has been swift, with many expressing their dismay and anger at the group’s decision to use such a beloved character in their messaging. The outrage is not just about the disrespect shown to a cultural icon but also about the potential impact on children who may be exposed to the video. The thought of explaining to young ones why Santa won’t be delivering presents this year because of a preventable illness is a conversation no parent wants to have.
Amidst the controversy, there are calls for accountability and a reevaluation of how public health messages are conveyed. While the importance of vaccination and public health cannot be understated, the method of communication must be balanced with respect for cultural values and sensitivities.
As the video continues to circulate, it serves as a stark reminder of the polarized times we live in, where even the most sacred traditions can become fodder for political and ideological battles. It raises questions about the effectiveness of shock tactics and whether they do more harm than good in the quest to inform and protect the public.
In conclusion, while the intention behind the video may have been to promote a serious public health message, the execution has been widely condemned. The use of Santa Claus’s death as a tool to advocate for vaccination has not only offended many but also detracted from the intended message. As we navigate these challenging times, it is imperative that we find ways to communicate important health information without compromising the values and traditions that bring us together, especially during the holiday season.
