Jim Braker said he gets his COVID-19 news from Victory Channel, a self-described faith-based Christian television network, and doctors on Fox News and on the internet.
Evansville resident Sally Herron, a conservative activist, said she distrusts what she calls the liberal national news media and prefers to do her own research. Herron watches documentaries, she says, and talks to people who aren t motivated by a desire to make money off the pandemic. I have a very good friend that her daughter works for AstraZeneca, and she told her mom, ‘Do not take the vaccine, she said.
Herron makes accusations. The vaccines have aborted fetal tissue in them, she said. The contention is disputed by infectious disease experts who say vaccine manufacturers did use fetal cell lines. Herron also believes a vaccine could change her DNA. She calls the vaccines gene therapy. She believes they will change and attack recipients immune systems, and people will die.
