A screengrab of a tweet by the US President Donald Trump was found on Facebook claiming that he took the COVID-19 vaccine shot which was created in Romania.
The screengrab read, “I just got the vaccine shot for Covid-19 at the White House. The vaccine is the one was created in Romania. I received the shot at 8 am and I wanted to let you all know that it’s completely safe. The vaccine contains a drop of blood of lon Iliescu, the first man on earth. It is said that his blood is a vaccine for any poison in the world. I think I’m immortal now lol”
