Singapore making mistake of taking free copies of Marvel tie-in with vaccinations

The Straits-Times reports that one of Marvel's politically connected specials has made its way to Singapore:
Those entering any of the nine Joint Testing & Vaccination Centres across Singapore might have come across free copies of a new comic book featuring the Avengers.

Titled Everyday Heroes, it has been available since September, when 36,000 copies were sent to these centres that provide Covid-19 vaccination services.

In the story, the Marvel Comics superheroes fight the supervillain Ultron while humans battle a pandemic. In the midst of battle, the Avengers make a connection with a family protecting themselves with vaccinations.

It was first released in the United States as a collaboration between Marvel and the biopharmaceutical companies Pfizer and BioNTech.

[...] The story is written by freelance comic book writer Paul Allor, 45. The American’s past credits include the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and G.I. Joe comics series.

In an e-mail interview with The Straits Times, Allor said that “Covid-19 is one of the biggest threats of our time”.
Sorry, but when you look at this through the context of the reemerged crisis of Islamic jihadism, Coronavirus is nowhere near as severe an issue. Even university campuses supporting barbarism is a far more alarming issue than Coronavirus at this point. And all Allor can view as dangerous is a form of chemical that causes illness, but not an ideology that upholds savagery? In the past decade, he made some left-wing political statements, and his GI Joe stories were fishy too, so I guess this is nothing new for somebody like him.

Of course physical health is important. But anybody in Singapore who wastes time with Marvel's modern products is making a dreadful mistake.

I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
