A video shows truckers from South Carolina on their way to join a "Freedom Convoy" in Canada. In January 2022, as hundreds of truckers drove across Canada in a “Freedom Convoy” to protest COVID-19 vaccine mandates, a video started circulating online that supposedly showed truckers from South Carolina in the United States on their way to join the protest:This video is unrelated to the freedom convoy. While the original post made no specific mentions of the freedom convoy, COVID-19, or vaccines, many people assumed the video was related to the trucker protest in Canada.
