CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, conspiracy theories have been a huge problem.
Now conspiracy theories are targeting Covid-19 vaccines, even as more data comes out every day about how safe and effective they are.
Misinformation is leading some people to skip the vaccine.
Nearly three in ten Americans, 27%, don’t plan to get the Covid-19 vaccine, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll.
“We hear a lot of hesitancy, well this was developed too quickly. Or trying to feed into the conspiracy theories that the mRNA vaccines are going to alter my DNA, and those different things,” said Mike Derr, health commissioner of Holmes County General Health District.
