Summary
Ten COVID-19 vaccine claims examined since the start of Donald Trump's second term form the core of a new fact-check collection on side effects, federal policy and rumors about anti-vaccine senators.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s leadership of the Department of Health and Human Services underpins the project, with the report saying misinformation has kept spreading and has at times been amplified by public officials, including Kennedy.
The review argues that years of global use have already shown COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, even as false or misleading claims continue to circulate in U.S. political debate.
The collection highlights how vaccine misinformation remains a live issue in Trump's second term, extending beyond fringe rumors into questions about administration policy and the conduct of elected officials.
