Misinformation: Opinions -- How many people died believing vaccine misinformation, which often is subtle ?

Tue, 2022-02-22 17:47 — mike kraft
Opinion | How many people died believing vaccine misinformation? The U.S. population was offered a vaccine shown to have more than 90 percent efficacy in the face of a deadly disease, tested and proven safe, ready within a year of the outbreak, provided in two doses plus a booster, widely available and free.
