TUNIS, Tunisia — A Tunisian hidden camera prank show that stages fake side effects of the coronavirus vaccine has drawn criticism from health authorities, as the country experiences a surge in virus cases and struggles to convince citizens to get vaccinated.
The series, titled "Angelina19," features a lookalike of actress and UN goodwill ambassador Angelina Jolie who claims to have brought thousands of approved COVID-19 vaccine doses to Tunisia.
