A fake tweet is doing the rounds appearing to show Bill Gates said: “Vaccines in our food supply solves the problem of vaccine hesitancy.” There’s no evidence he’s ever said or tweeted this.
False claims about vaccines contribute to the spread of health misinformation, especially if people falsely believe influential figures are endorsing the idea of vaccines being given to the population covertly. False claims like this about what’s in our food also risk causing unnecessary alarm.
Health misinformation can cause direct damage to people’s physical or psychological health, and can put particular communities and vaccine coverage levels at risk. Health misinformation that spreads at scale can create distrust of medical professionals and distract from or undermine medical consensus and public health messaging.
