In the fall of 2020, during election season, Reuters reported that then Senator and Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris said that she would not trust a vaccine from the Trump administration.
Politifact reported in July 2021, however, that Harris did not say that. In a headline, Politifact wrote: “Biden, Harris distrusted Trump with COVID-19 vaccines, not the vaccines themselves.”
A video flagged as false by Politifact contains statements from Harris made during an interview with CNN. These statements were widely believed by many, many journalistic outlets to be casting doubts on vaccines made under the Trump administration.
Politifact fact checked not Reuters, nor any of the dozens of other outlets, including this one, that reported on Harris’ remarks in the fall of last year, but a TikTok video from May 2021, which is still in circulation. The video, Politifact states, “suggests that they actually had reservations about the safety of the vaccines.”
