I did an audio ad for people to and go get tested and possibly be vaccinated against COVID-19 virus. In the attached ad audio, there are three fallacies highlighted by me as the commentator through on importance of being vaccinated against COVID-19. They are paralipsis, equivocation and dogmatism. I, the narrator intrigues the listeners with Paralipis fallacy which is a very effective way of asking detail information indirectly from someone without hurting them but draws their attention. In the audio, as the narrator I asked a question if people know that they can be the careirs of the Corona virus and end up infecting the vulnerable people without knowing.
