On September 5, a self-described “alternative news source” shared a video of the New York governor getting an updated COVID-19 vaccine and encouraging other New Yorkers to do the same. The video garnered over 185,000 views and hundreds of comments expressing negative attitudes and false claims about COVID-19 vaccines. Some posts speculate that the governor didn’t actually get vaccinated and questioned the safety of getting the COVID-19 and flu vaccines together, while others insist that the pandemic is a “scam” and COVID-19 is the same as the flu.
