A television and podcast host promoted an upcoming episode to his more than two million followers. The episode features a physician who is best known for circulating misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines and who claims that data on vaccine safety is “not very reassuring.”
Recommendation: Debunking messaging may emphasize that COVID-19 vaccines were rigorously tested for safety in some of the largest clinical trials in history. Two-thirds of the world’s population are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and many of them have been vaccinated for over two years. There is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines are causing widespread health issues. Fact Checking Source(s): Johns Hopkins
