Doctors Warn About The Spread Of Vaccine Misinformation Online

False statements include the vaccine causes infertility, the government exaggerates the number of COVID deaths, and the vaccine contains a microchip.

For years, the biggest correction Dr. Kenneth Remy made to his patients at UH Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio was informing them the flu vaccine does not cause the flu.

Nowadays, he says there's a daily battle — informing and correcting patients about something they heard or read online about COVID-19.

"This pandemic has spawned an infodemic, and that info is not always correct," Remy said.
