A video post claims pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKlineâs Covid-19 vaccine contains ingredients that will cause infertility, and that immunized men can make unvaccinated women sterile, which would cause a global population decline. This is false; the drug company does not have its own Covid-19 vaccine, and doctors say such shots could not cause infertility.
âBig Pharma whistleblower: â97% of corona vaccine recipients will become infertile,ââ reads the title of an 11-minute video published on June 17, 2020, on the website of ex-soccer pro and conspiracy theorist David Icke, which has circulated on social media as recently as March 2021.
