A new social app designed as a community for the unvaccinated is testing Google and Apple Inc’s policies concerning the spread of misinformation about Covid-19 vaccines.
Unjected, started by two women from Hawaii, bills itself as a community for “like-minded people that support medical autonomy and free speech”. The app allows users to make a profile, match and message with other members. It launched in May shortly after the largest online dating sites, including Match Group’s Tinder and Bumble Inc, introduced perks to encourage users to get vaccinated.
