A news conference held by doctors in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, aimed at encouraging COVID-19 vaccinations was misrepresented online as a walkout protest. The event, organized by Dr. Jennifer Buczyner and attended by several doctors, took place before office hours to avoid disrupting patient care. Misleading reports, including a caption by MSNBC, falsely claimed that doctors walked off the job, leading to threats and harassment. The Associated Press clarified that the event was not a protest but a community effort to promote vaccinations.

The article debunks a claim that a study by the Oxford University Clinical Research Group found vaccinated individuals carry 251 times the viral load of COVID-19 compared to the unvaccinated. The study, which focused on breakthrough delta infections among vaccinated hospital staff in Vietnam, was misrepresented by an anti-vaccine organization. The study actually compared viral loads of vaccinated health care workers infected with the delta variant to those infected with earlier strains, not to unvaccinated individuals. Experts confirm that vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals have similar viral loads, but vaccinated people are less likely to transmit the virus and suffer severe illness. The article emphasizes the importance of vaccination and corrects the misinformation spread by the anti-vaccine article.

A recent study on breakthrough delta variant COVID-19 cases among vaccinated health care workers in Vietnam has been misrepresented by an anti-vaccine organization, Children’s Health Defense. The study, published as a preprint by The Lancet, found higher viral loads in vaccinated individuals with delta variant infections compared to earlier strains, not compared to unvaccinated individuals. The misrepresentation falsely claims vaccinated individuals carry significantly higher viral loads than unvaccinated ones, which has been debunked by the study's authors and other experts. The study emphasizes the delta variant's higher transmissibility and the continued importance of safety measures and vaccination.

Critics of President Joe Biden's border policies, such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Fox News host Sean Hannity, blame the surge in COVID-19 cases on migrants entering the U.S. However, public health experts argue that the main drivers of rising infections are unvaccinated individuals and not migrants, who are generally tested and quarantined if positive. The federal government has not released data on migrant COVID-19 cases, but local Texas officials have shared their own figures. The article also discusses the protocols for migrants at the border, the lack of federal data on migrant COVID-19 cases, and the public health officials' stance on the factors fueling the increase in cases in the U.S.

Critics of President Joe Biden, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Fox News host Sean Hannity, blame the surge in COVID-19 cases on his border policies, which allow some migrants to apply for asylum. However, public health experts argue that the main drivers of rising infections in the U.S. are unvaccinated individuals, not migrants. Migrants allowed entry are generally tested for COVID-19 and quarantined if positive. The federal government has not released data on migrant infection rates, but local Texas officials report a positivity rate among migrants similar to the local population. The delta variant, first identified in India, was circulating in the U.S. before it appeared in Latin America. Local border communities and nonprofits assist migrants with testing and quarantine arrangements, and some cities have started vaccinating migrants. DHS has begun vaccinating immigrants in detention and unaccompanied children over 12.
