Nursing home owners, hospitals battle myths about COVID-19 vaccine: CORRECTION
January 5, 20216:53 pm
Social media today is infected with false and outlandish information about COVID-19 vaccines. Vectors of (sometimes malicious) misinformation have put out such notions that the mRNA vaccines which both Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines are will alter human DNA. That they cause infertility, contain aborted fetal tissue and folks who choose not to be vaccinated will lose their food stamps. Even nuttier: That photos of people getting injections aren’t real; those syringes have “disappearing needles.” And that AstraZeneca’s vaccine (not available yet in the U.S. but being used in the U.K.) will turn people into monkeys.
