YouTuber Brittlestar Tackles ‘Vaccine Shopping’ With More Sarcasm Than Ever Before (VIDEO)

"That's why I chose Pfizer, because I know that Moderna is the best choice."

Sarcasm and irony are bread and butter for Canadian YouTuber Brittlestar, but he might have outdone himself with a new video on the vaccine shopping trend.

After multiple reports of people turning down Moderna in favour of the Pfizer vaccine, Brittlestar released his own (very sarcastic) PSA on which vaccine is the "right one" to choose.

"It is very important to choose the right vaccine," Brittlestar (aka Stewart Reynolds), says in the video. "That's why I chose Pfizer, because I know that Moderna is the best choice."

"Moderna... Pfizer... they're essentially the same thing," he adds, finally breaking the shtick. "And holy sh*t, stop vaccine shopping, it's a pandemic."

In June 2021, Canada's top advisory committee deemed it safe to mix and match some vaccines, whether Canadians had received Pfizer, Moderna, or AstraZeneca as their first dose.
