No, the Covid vaccine doesn’t have a microchip. How US doctors are fighting misinformation


New Jersey health care providers are becoming increasingly frustrated with the barrage of misinformation about the Covid-19 vaccine, which they say has put lives at risk. — AFP Relaxnews

NEW JERSEY: Dr Marc Feingold, a primary care doctor in Manalapan, has been spending plenty of time with his patients in recent weeks trying to debunk misinformation about the Covid-19 vaccine, falsehoods heard everywhere from Facebook and the TV networks to New Jersey radio, including Bill Spadea’s popular New Jersey morning-drive talk show.

Does the vaccine cause infertility? (No.) Is it experimental? (No). Does it work? (Yes, it is highly effective in preventing serious illness and death.) And so on, Feingold responds to the false assertions, hoping he lands on a message that will convince the unvaccinated to get a shot.
