Analysis / Bias

In review, Vaxxter is a 100% anti-vaccination propaganda website. There is very little science-based evidence published and in fact, they promote wild conspiracy theories such as forced vaccinations via the so-called Deep State. Scienceblogs has a thorough review of Dr. Tenpenny and her anti-vaccination views that is worth reading.

During the Covid-19 Pandemic Sherry Tenpenny has become legendary for her outrageous claims regarding Covid-19 and the subsequent vaccines. See failed fact checks.
