PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The flashy postcard, covered with images of syringes, beckoned people to attend Vax-Con ’21 to learn "the uncensored truth" about COVID-19 vaccines.Participants traveled from around the country to a Wisconsin Dells resort for a sold-out convention that was, in fact, a sea of misinformation and conspiracy theories about vaccines and the pandemic.
The featured speaker was the anti-vaccine activist who appeared in the 2020 movie "Plandemic," which pushed false COVID-19 stories into the mainstream.
