On the right is a Spanish newspaper @TribunaAlbacete with a cartoon saying black South Africans are coming to Europe on a boat with Omicron Covid-19 variant.

🚨 Twitter now has a tool for REPORTING COVID-19 MISINFORMATION. How it works:
1) Report tweet
2) Choose “It’s misleading”
3) Choose “Health”
4) Choose “COVID-19 information”
ALT Screenshot (mostly blurred out) of the menu that comes up when you hit the three dots next to someone’s tweet, showing options for blocking, muting, reporting, etc. There’s an arrow pointing to “Report tweet”. The tweet in question says “I’ve been told the Vax makes the Delta worse for people.”
ALT Screenshot of the dialog box that comes up when you report a tweet, with “Help us understand the problem. What is going on with this tweet?” at the top. There’s an arrow pointing to the “It’s misleading” option.
ALT Screenshot of the next dialog box. The text at the top says “What’s this tweet misleading about?” and the options are politics, health, and “something else.” There’s an arrow pointing to “Health”.
ALT Screenshot of the next dialog box. The text at the top says “What type of misleading info about health is in this tweet?” and there’s an arrow pointing to “COVID-19 information”.

Generales del Estado Mayor se han vacunado ya contra el COVID. ¿Y lo de servir a España hasta la última gota de sangre si fuera menester? A lo mejor cantaban lo del novio de la muerte mientras les pinchaban. Cómo los caló Ivà en las "Historias de la puta mili". Son tal cual.
