Jamie Foxx, the Oscar-winning actor and musician, did not suffer from any injury caused by the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a spokesperson for Foxx.
The representative confirmed that recent claims about Foxx being “partially paralyzed and blind” were completely inaccurate.
The claim went viral on social media after it was started by far-right provocateur Charlie Kirk.
Gossip columnist A.J.
Benza and Dr. Drew Pinsky also talked about the claim on an episode of Benza’s podcast.
Benza claimed that he had a source “in the room” with Foxx when he was supposedly forced to get the COVID vaccine, after which he allegedly had a stroke due to a blood clot.
The Yale University School of Medicine confirmed that blood clots can be a side effect of COVID-19, and there is a miniscule risk of getting a blood clot if one chooses to get the Johnson & Johnson version of the COVID-19 vaccine.
However, the CDC confirmed that “vaccine injury” is extremely rare, occurring in only five of every one million vaccines administered.
Thus, Foxx’s claims of suffering an injury from the vaccine are fundamentally false.
This is not the first time that representatives for Jamie Foxx have had to debunk baseless claims about the actor.
He was first hospitalized for an undisclosed “medical complication” back in April, and last month his daughter Corrine had to take to Instagram to clear up unsubstantiated rumors about her father’s health.
She made it clear that any report that didn’t come directly from the Foxx family was to be disregarded.
Since Corinne revealed that Foxx was hospitalized for an unspecified medical complication on April 12 while in Atlanta filming for Netflix’s Back in Action, there have been plenty of conflicting reports regarding the Academy Award winner.
Over a week later, a source close to the actor/singer told PEOPLE that he was “awake and alert.” “He’s OK, thank God,” the source said.
“He’s still in the hospital and doctors are running tests but he’s awake and alert.
They’re keeping him under observation.”
Following a few weeks of hospitalization and receiving encouragement from friends and fans, Foxx took to Instagram last month with a message for fans.
“Appreciate all the love!!!
Feeling blessed,” Foxx wrote in his Instagram post.
Foxx’s spokesperson did not elaborate further on what his client was being hospitalized for, but they did make it clear that the claims about his alleged COVID-19 vaccine injury are “completely inaccurate.”
It is important to note that some people have spread misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine, which can lead to confusion and fear among the public.
It is essential that people rely on credible sources of information when seeking information about the vaccine and its possible side effects.
In conclusion, Jamie Foxx did not suffer from any injury caused by the COVID-19 vaccine, according to his spokesperson.
Claims of Foxx being “partially paralyzed and blind” were completely inaccurate and based on false information spread on social media.
His daughter Corrine has previously asked people to disregard any news about her father’s health that doesn’t come directly from the family.
