"Don't get vaccinated"



‘Here's the real story behind that viral funeral home anti-vaccine ad’

You may have seen a photo of a truck carrying a billboard that reads "Don't get vaccinated: Wilmore Funeral Home." The truck sparked viral buzz, with people tweeting such messages as, "Wilmore Funeral Home, out there making $," and "I can't decide if Wilmore Funeral Home is hilarious or terrible." But there's no real funeral home involved. It was a prank with a message.

"It was us," reads a tweet from the BooneOakley advertising agency, the company behind the truck and its viral slogan. "Get vaccinated."

While the funeral home isn't real, the URL on the truck really does work. WilmoreFuneralHome.com takes web users to a stark black-and-white website that reads, "Get vaccinated now. If not, see you soon." It links to a healthcare site where users can sign up to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
