Debunking the Jamie Foxx COVID Vaccine Conspiracy

A vaccine conspiracy theory involving Jamie Foxx circulated on social media after gossip columnist A.J. Benza claimed that Foxx was left "paralyzed and blind" from a blood clot in his brain after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. However, the only source cited in the story was Foxx's daughter, who said he was out of the hospital and playing pickleball. Studies have found no evidence of higher rates of strokes for vaccinated people, and Foxx's family has said he suffered a "medical complication" while filming his new movie. Vaccine conspiracy theorists on social media pounced on the story, but others pointed out the unreliable sourcing and questioned the narrative.
