That fake CDC alert about 'blue light symptoms' spreading on Facebook last week almost made me buy those $40 glasses

My cousin shared it and I was about to click 'order' until I checked the CDC site myself and found zero mention of it, has anyone else seen that graphic floating around with the official seal that looked way too clean?

yeah @beth276 the seal thing got me too, it had that perfect crisp gradient that real gov docs never seem to have. I almost fell for it because the typo was hidden in the fine print, not the headline.

Can't believe they faked the official seal like that...

Oh man, tell me about it. I saw that same seal and it just made me so mad. It happens all the time now with people trying to pass off fake documents or certificates. I had a guy a few months ago try to show me an official looking paper from the city, and something about the lettering just felt off. It's a shame you can't trust anything without double-checking it these days.
