An altered screenshot of a CNN story is making the rounds with a fake headline falsely connecting Damar Hamlin’s cardiac arrest to a COVID-19 vaccine.
, about Hamlin’s discharge from the medical center, has the same photo of Hamlin — taken before an Oct. 2 game — and the same bylines. It also says it was updated at 1:37 p.m. EST on Jan. 11.The Associated Press that the headline in the screenshot was fabricated and that the network didn’t publish it.
We found nothing on CNN’s website connecting Hamlin’s cardiac arrest to the vaccine. Rather, on Jan. 13, the news outlet published an opinionby Jonathan Reiner calling on people to stop exploiting Hamlin’s health emergency"for the anti-vax agenda." The cause of Hamlin’s cardiac arrest has not been released and doctors are investigating what happened. Some experts who have reviewed the footage of his collapse speculated a blow to the left side of his chest may have caused his heart to stop.
There’s no evidence that a COVID-19 vaccine caused this to happen. We previously rated claims that the vaccine caused his collapse
