A new documentary features several prominent COVID-19 opponents who repeat debunked vaccine misinformation. Some of the false claims in the documentary’s trailer include that the CDC is underreporting the deaths of vaccinated people and that COVID-19 vaccines are ineffective and unsafe.

The COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of infection, which in turn reduces the risk of transmission.
