At a time when the surgeon general says misinformation has become an urgent threat to public health, an investigation by The Associated Press found a vocal and influential group of chiropractors has been capitalizing on the pandemic by sowing fear and mistrust of vaccines.

One chiropractor gave thousands of dollars to a Super PAC that hosted an anti-vaccine, pro-Donald Trump rally near the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

The sold out convention “Vax-Con ‘21” spread misinformation about vaccines and COVID-19. It also awarded chiropractors in at least 10 states continuing education credits to maintain their licenses. https://t.co/wumWhAtYr3
