The anti-vaccine activists have been spreading lies about Betty White for the past few days. Betty White did not die after getting a booster shot.
Betty died peacefully in her sleep. White's agent, Jeff Witjas, told Yahoo Entertainment that people are saying her death was related to getting a booster shot.
She died of natural causes. Her death should not be politicized.
Witjas confirmed that White died of natural causes, but did not say if he had ever gotten a booster shot. The covid-19 vaccines have been shown to be safe and effective.
The anti-vaccine scumbags started the conspiracy theories after she died, claiming that she got a booster shot a few days before her death. There is no evidence that the original article included the claim about a booster.
The fake quote from White was included in the claim. I got a boost today.
People who get a booster shot for Covid-19 seem to be less likely to get seriously ill from the new variant of the disease. People who received a Moderna booster saw a huge increase in their neutralizing antibody levels.
Over a million cases of infections were reported in the US on Monday, making it the first time in history that that has happened. The US saw over a million cases in the New Year holiday, a number that is likely artificially high.
The seven-day average for new cases is 494,660, which is still a high number. 1,343 new deaths from the disease were reported on Monday.
