Offbeat by Benedict Brook  Coronavirus has spawned almost as many wild theories as infections - from evil government plots to 5G towers transmitting COVID-19. Now, with the vaccine rolling out, another crop of misinformation is doing the rounds of social media. And it s making virus watchers shake their heads in dismay. According to some, mRNA vaccines - such as the US-German Pfizer-BioNTech jab - can lead pregnant women to miscarry. This, apparently, is due to people shedding the vaccine to those who have not had the shot. Epidemiologists have said there is no evidence to back up the fanciful claims and vaccine shedding is not a thing.
