No Cannibalism Outbreak From COVID Vaccine

In December 2020, as the U.S. began its first rollout of the Covid-19 vaccination, rumors began circulating on social media that highlighted what appeared to be a screenshot from CNN that showed a hospital emergency room scene, and a caption that hospitals were on lockdown as “first COVID vaccine patients begin eating other patients.”

Users across social media shared the image, questioning its legitimacy.

Other social media users felt that it was real.

Additional social media users claimed this was a conspiracy.
