VP Harris Says Misinformation Is ‘One of Our Biggest Barriers’ to Getting More Americans Vaccinated Against COVID-19

‘Let’s arm ourselves with the truth’

EXCERPT:

HARRIS: "And another issue that I think is perhaps one of our biggest barriers, and it’s the issue of information, and in particular, misinformation. So we need to deal with that. And this is why we need you out in the community. There are people who are uncertain about getting vaccinated, and you know, I find a lot of people — there are few people that are saying: I will not under any circumstances get vaccinated. But there are some people, a lot of people who might say I haven't been vaccinated yet because I’m just not sure. I’m hearing all this stuff and I don't know what to think. They may question the safety or the efficacy, does the vaccine work. And they may have heard things that aren’t quite true. And so, let’s arm ourselves with the truth to arm them with the truth.”
