Fact or Fiction: Madonna was in the ICU because of COVID vaccine?

Posted

Madonna spent several days in the ICU recently with a bacterial infection.

In response, a number of people have posted tweets claiming her illness was caused by complications from getting a COVID-19 vaccination.

But that's false.

COVID-19 is a virus, which is not bacterial, and bacterial infections are not listed among the adverse effects of getting the COVID vaccine.

Madonna has been a prominent supporter of vaccines, which critics appear to be latching onto now.
