Chimpanzee adenovirus vector in the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine does not cause monkeypox
False claims that the outbreak of monkeypox was caused by using a chimpanzee adenovirus vector in the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine have been gaining traction online.
One person on Twitter,a former member of the London Assembly, wrote on May 20: “Who is surprised that after millions of people have been injected with genetically modified chimp virus, there is now an outbreak of monkeypox?” (here). His post has since received 2,000 retweets and has been liked 6,000 times.
