What is this 'five months into the future' madness. Did someone's online notepad get hacked and leaked? Agenda much?
'...The publication’s logo is visible at the top left corner of the fake screenshot, with a headline that reads: “THEY KNEW: Why didn’t the unvaccinated do more to warn us?”
The circulated screenshot is dated June 6, 2023, five months in the future at the time of this writing.

What screenshot are you referring to? The link goes to the magazine?
What am I missing?
I googled iqfy and here are some quotes:
"Iqfy is a site designed to manufacture outrage amongst conservatives, it's essentially satire."
"Iqfy publishes fake woke articles by nonexistent person Jamey Braunstein."
By getting fired up about it we are only feeding the beast.

Really this makes sense. I know it's only a satire piece to rile they say conservatives.
Well it doesn't and wouldn't surprise if there is and yes there is idiots that buy that type of scant. Most actually think we are a Democracy and our current currency is money.
Next it's Christians and then just being white you are to blame for all current problems.
And the more independent you are, the more guilty you are. The more stuff you own. The more guilty you are for being independent and even a little bit successful. Because..
"You didn't build that! Somebody else did!"
Meaning you stoled it, or ill-gained it. By hook and crook. Same sense as saying we are to blame for covid.
Makes about as much sense. Doesn't it?

That's exactly what I thought.we got punked!!
This is the 2nd time in as many days a story has appeared, picked up by reputable news outlets and then retracted!
Yesterday it was a Trans activist group in the UK wanted Aretha Franklin's Natural Woman pulled from all streaming platforms as an affront to trans 'women', which they now say was a hoax.

Fact Check-Fake headline from The Conversation asks why the unvaccinated didn’t ‘warn’ the vaccinated
By Reuters Fact Check
4 MIN READ
A screenshot purporting to show a future headline for an article published by The Conversation asks why the “unvaccinated did not do more to warn” people who were inoculated with a COVID-19 vaccine, but it is fabricated.
The Conversation is a website that publishes articles written by academics and edited by journalists. The publication’s logo is visible at the top left corner of the fake screenshot, with a headline that reads: “THEY KNEW: Why didn’t the unvaccinated do more to warn us?”
The circulated screenshot is dated June 6, 2023, five months in the future at the time of this writing. <---WHAT?
In the image, a cover graphic features cartoon figures, with two in medical attire holding vaccines while the other two figures can be seen holding hands toward the medical personnel in a gesture of rejection.
The opening paragraph visible across the lower third of the screenshot reads: “While well intending citizens lined up, did the right thing, and received their COVID19 vaccinations, now known to do more harm than good, their unvaccinated friends and family stood by and let them do it. Even though they knew what we didn’t. Some of them said too little. Some said nothing at all. Our blood is now on their hands.”
Examples of the screenshot can be viewed (here), (here).
No such headline is viewable, however, when searching through the website’s content (archive.is/wip/78kDA).
No such article has been produced for later publication either, according to the author named in the fake screenshot. Alessandro Siani, associate head of the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Portsmouth in Britain, told Reuters that he has not penned any such headline or article, and the screenshot circulating online is fabricated.
Siani did author an article published by The Conversation on Jan. 6, 2023, which features identical illustration, but whose real headline reads: “COVID: unvaccinated people may be seen as ‘free riders’ and face discrimination” (here).
“As a scientist, I firmly believe that vaccinations (including those against COVID-19) are an essential preventive measure, and that their effectiveness in preventing transmissible diseases largely outweighs any rare unwanted effects associated with their use,” Siani told Reuters.
Siani has also flagged the fake headline via his LinkedIn feed (bit.ly/3R5bYr6).
The authentic article published in The Conversation discussed discrimination and attitudes toward unvaccinated people in various countries, based on a study published in the journal Nature in early December (here).
Siani’s own research publications can be viewed (here), (here).
The Conversation also tweeted to confirm that the circulating screenshot is fabricated, and provided a link to the authentic January article by Siani (here), archived (archive.is/wip/pU6Lz).

That ridiculous article sounded like satire so the only thing I could see its purpose was psyops bait, just to see and measure reactions (and tempers) from the unvaccinated and judging from the comments, the outrage sought was overwhelming. Marginalized, unvaccinated people are pissed off and rightly so!!!
Hopefully the TPTB will take note, factor it in and change the continuing attempts to mandate.
The Jab-warriors should instead work on reversals. I have all 3 of my children, 4 grandchildren and friends with it in their bodies and like interior tattoos, cannot be removed. How I wish we had medical assistance to go along with our prayers.
Also, even though this turns out to be satire, and fairly well done at that, Lefties are already bleating about "amnesty" for their covid shenanigans, and it's a short step for them to this kind of thinking.

The warnings were out there; I saw plenty of them. The unvaxxed listened to the warnings and stayed home while the vaxxed stood in line to get vaxxed.I want to believe this is a parody but if it is they sure have a lot of other articles
They knew: why didn't the unvaccinated do more to warn us?
The unvaccinated knew what we didn't. Some of them said too little. Most said nothing at all. A lot of blood is now on their hands.iqfy.com

As the world struggles to come to terms with the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, one question that continues to surface is why the unvaccinated didn't do more to warn us about the potential dangers of being injected.
While well intending citizens lined up, did the right thing, and received their COVID19 vaccinations -- now seeming to do more harm than good -- their unvaccinated friends stood by and let them do it. Some of them said too little. Some said nothing at all.
Even though they knew what we didn't.
Our blood is now on their hands.
Those are strong words. But the unvaccinated had access to important information about the potential side effects of vaccines. They knew about the risks of severe allergic reactions, blood clots, and other serious health complications. They knew that vaccines did not immunize us. They knew it wasn't effective, and that they can cause more harm than good.
They knew all of that, but instead of warning us, the unvaccinated chose to remain silent. They chose to look the other way and not speak out about the potential dangers of vaccines. They let millions of good folks who did the right thing (at the time) fall to death and disease, and many antivaxxers even gloated online about how their coin flip had been the right bet. The more diabolical even urged folks they disagree with to "get boosted."
It has become all too clear. The silence of the unvaccinated was a dangerous, sociopathic, and irresponsible decision that has had serious consequences for those of us who received the vaccinations.

It is time for the unvaccinated to take responsibility for their actions and to work with the rest of us to find a solution to this crisis. We cannot afford to let their selfishness and lack of action continue to harm our communities. It is time for the unvaccinated to step up and do the right thing.
The unvaccinated should by any moral measuring stick have done more to warn about the potential risks -- to help us make informed decisions about our health. And they must now ask us for our forgiveness.

The science call for a phase 3 testing to analyze the long term effect of a vaccine before making it public.
However, that was ignored when the government placed emergency status on its implementation thus allowing the abandonment of phase 3 testing under controlled conditions but rather turned the public into that phase 3 study.
With a virus having such a low mortality rate why would a person consider taking such a vaccine without allowing the results to be fully documented through all 3 phases under a controlled study environment?
Other than being threated by loss of job or education because of vaccine refusal, I can't see why anyone else would consider taking it sans phase 3 results abandoned as a prudent decision.
The science was abandoned in this case because the process was altered.

You folks make a lot of good points, but you are not seeing the possible long-game. What if: The article was a forerunner testing the waters to see how all the "good" people who took the jab reacted? What if: TPTB now realize they are going to need unvaxxed blood and are setting us up for required donations? Yeah, that sounds about as ridiculous as the article itself, but remember: Never trust the government to do what's right.

I have a very liberal SIL from Philly who just revealed she's been in the ER twice now for AFib in the past month. Vaxxed to the max.
Add her to the list of my family members who I expect to have to attend funerals of in the next few years. And she probably dragged my brother with her to get every shot as well.

This is the kind of stuff that starts out as woo and ends up verified later.
Either way it was published in the UK as a legit essay written by this 26 yr old who probably had to submit to jabs to keep his young tenure. And whatever he originally submitted, he lost editorial control over it and this website played fast and loose with his rhetoric and his resume credentials to make it edgy and to push it viral.
Was it a trial balloon by the Braver New World overlords to measure the resistance still left? That June 2023 byline date may mean that is where they anticipate the debate to evolve to by then and someone accidentally hit send way too soon.
If that is the case then it was a gift to warn the vax resistance. Stay on your toes out there.
