Members of Congress were among the first to receive the coronavirus vaccine earlier this month, and some, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Vice President Mike Pence, posted photos of the event to social media.
When speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi posted photos of herself receiving the vaccination, some online users falsely claimed she staged the scene.
How do you use a syringe with the cap still on? questioned a Facebook user in a Dec. 18 post, which included photos making it appear the needle was covered when Pelosi received the shot. This post was shared more than 1,400 times.
