I am currently making a GE&T storefront selling COVID vaccines. I am concerned they might be dangerously misinforming. They are fictional but based on real vaccines. The non-fictional information include how the vaccines work and their pros and cons and are taken from here. The efficacy rates are taken from real vaccines. The rest of the thread is information on prices, discounts and orders. No info on any side effects, if you could mix them, etc. The Ebola -20 is a fictional bioweapon for sale

Does this break the COVID rules?

This is one of the weirdest rules queries we've had of late, but no - it doesn't look illegal.

If this is amongst the weirdest, then take that as a good thing.

I think you're OK if you're clearly roleplaying an in game pandemic and you're not portraying these IC vaccines as having any OOC efficacy against the RL COVID-19 pandemic.

I've RP'd a pandemic and vaccinations for two separate pandemics, so I don't see a problem.

Like what others said. It might be safest to clearly state that these vaccines do not exist, or to at least state that they have no OOC efficacy as Sardinia suggested.
