![Fact Check: Vaccines Are NOT Synthetic Poison And COVID-19 Was NOT Created In Lab](https://arabic.leadstories.com/assets_c/2023/05/screenshot_3484689-thumb-352xauto-3111353.jpg)
Did scientists create COVID-19 in laboratories and are all vaccines nothing but synthetic poison? No, that's not true: There is no new evidence to corroborate the much-debunked claim that the COVID virus was developed in scientific laboratories and that their vaccines, like the polio and MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccines, are poisonous.
These claims appeared in a video (archived here) on TikTok under the title "Dr. Judy Mikovits uncovers a plot to inject humanity with Cancer inducing viruses." Anti-vaccine activist Judy Mikovits says in the video:
'Never another vaccine, not a Polio shot, not MMR. They have all been synthetic poisons.'
This is what the post looked like on TikTok at the time of writing:

Mikovits, who is interviewed in the video by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, also claims that the Omicron subvariant of COVID has been circulating among people for years and that she and her husband were infected with the strain in 2010.
The Interview segment is subtitled with Arabic translation and posted with hashtags such as #Freemaisons, #Golden Billion and #Hidden Facts.
The video does not provide any evidence to corroborate Mikovits's claims.
