However, when a vaccine became available, many were wary of it.
Rumors quickly spread about “the jab”:It gives you cancer.
It was approved before enough research could be done.
There’s just one problem with all this: The rumor isn’t true.
However, a recommendation is not a mandate, explainsABC News.
Individual states, not the federal government, decide whether or not schools should require vaccines.
Fox News contributor Tucker Carlson didn’t report the story quite that way.
Health officials may not always refute them publicly, for fear they might actually help keep the rumors alive.
So next time you read something scary on Instagram, do a little digging to get the full story.
Better yet, put the phone down and go for a walk.
