A report published on a Canadian conspiracy theory website Global Research, which has been identified by the US State Department as part of the Russian government’s “disinformation and propaganda ecosystem,” claims that people who have not received the COVID-19 vaccines “but have been exposed to those who have received them… have suffered what appear to be infections coming from these fully ‘vaccinated’ people.”
The post falsely claims that the vaccine can somehow migrate from person to person. This migration can cause problems with female menstruation and breast milk and induce miscarriages.
Medical experts agree that migration of the vaccine from a vaccinated person to those near them is impossible.
In addition to including disinformation about vaccines, a group of medical doctors appear in a video accompanying the post, claiming that COVID vaccines are “bioweapons designed to kill human beings.”
There is no evidence to indicate that COVID-19 or the vaccines developed to protect human beings against it are bioweapons.
The European Union’s EasternStratcom EUvsDisino platform warned in late April 2021 that both Russian and Chinese government media have been aggressively engaging in disinformation campaigns to undermine western vaccines and promote vaccine hesitancy.
