An image shared on Facebook claims the U.S. military found pesticides in COVID-19 vaccines produced by the pharmaceutical company Moderna.
The rumor stems from a satirical website. A spokesperson for the U.S. Army’s Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC) denied the report.
Recent data Moderna submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suggested its COVID-19 vaccine provoked strong immune responses in children aged 6 to 11, according to The New York Times. An image shared on Facebook now claims the U.S. military discovered pesticides in the vaccines.
The image shows what appears to be a screenshot of a news article with a headline that reads, “Military Finds Pesticides in Moderna Covid-19 Vaccines.”
The claim is incorrect. Check Your Fact found no credible news reports about the U.S. military making such a discovery. There are likewise no press releases from Moderna, the FDA or the Defense Department about the alleged finding.
