⭐️HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW⭐️
- COVID-19 vaccines are safe.
- But TikTok and other social media sites are full of misinformation about them.
- Have you heard some myths about the vaccine?
- Here’s why they’re not true. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
Have you seen the TikTok where someone turns into a zombie after getting a COVID-19 vaccine?
That’s pretty funny — and obviously fake.
But other videos can be pretty convincing, even though they aren’t actually real.
Like the ones where people scan their arms for a microchip after getting the vaccine and the scanner goes berserk.
There’s a lot of misinformation online about the COVID-19 vaccine.
Here are some myths you may have heard:
- Myth 1: If you had COVID-19, you don't need the vaccine.
- Myth 2: They're injecting a tracker chip in you.
- Myth 3: The vaccine enters your cells and changes your DNA.
- Myth 4: The vaccine causes autism.
- Myth 5: It was too rushed so we can't trust it.
Thankfully, you can find truthful information online easily as well. You just need to know where to look.
