The claim: Spike proteins from coronavirus vaccines are dangerous toxins that cause damage in the body
A Canadian immunologist who says he s pro-vaccine has recently become the source of misinformation about the safety of coronavirus vaccines.
Text in a June 3 Instagram photo says the coronavirus spike protein resulting from vaccination is a toxin. The post cites a doctor as evidence. Doctor on COVID Vax: We Screwed-Up. We didn t realize the Spike Protein is a TOXIN, the text says. Does this mean everyone vaccinated is manufacturing their own Spike Protein Toxins in their own bodies?
The post is one of dozens of similar claims that have circulated on Facebook and Instagram over the past few weeks, according to CrowdTangle, a social media insights tool. The most widely shared version stemmed from a May 31 article by LifeSite News, which has previously made false claims about the safety of coronavirus vaccines.
