Prime Minister Scott Morrison last week became one of the first Australians to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. His vaccination unleashed a wave of anti-vaccine information on Facebook.

CoronaCheck is RMIT ABC Fact Check's weekly email newsletter dedicated to fighting the misinformation infodemic surrounding the coronavirus outbreak.to have the next newsletter delivered straight to your inbox.With Australia's COVID-19 vaccine rollout finally under way, misinformation and conspiracy theories abound on social media, and Prime Minister Scott Morrison's Facebook page has not been immune.

But while Australian media outlets, including fact checkers, were blocked from posting to Facebook at the time of Mr Morrison's posts, hundreds of the platform's users were able to flood the comments section of many posts on MrWe've fact checked some of the most egregious claims — all of which are publicly visible on the Prime Minister's page.

"Any nurse or doctor immediately knows this is faked, as the wrong needle gauge was used," one woman wrote. "It should have been a blue IM [intramuscular] needle, not an orange subcutaneous needle."

What was in that syringe' probably trying out a anti-lieing vaccine.

Nothing screams wanker more than an Aussie flag face mask.

He is getting Pfizer, we are supposed to get the crappy AstraZeneca vaccine...

His base.

Its not a vaccine. Vaccines provide immunity against a disease. These new drugs are being used as vaccines but they do not provide immunity so they are not technically vaccines. They are mRNA gene therapies.

Wait until the NRL make their players get vaccinated...

Damned of you do, damned if you don't. Can't win with some.

Morrison should promise quarantine-free or self-quarantine to all residents who can prove vaccination on arrival back in Australia after international travel. That might be a suitable incentive

“Don’t go to Facebook to find out about the vaccine,” he said. Then does a 'deal' with Facebook. COVID19Vaccine

It wasn’t an anti vaccine comment. All I said was “ spot the prick “

That is NOT a covid-19 vaccination syringe.

Still perplexed at why the anti vaxers are shitty because people are getting vaccinated ..it’s going to help herd immunity

It is Facebook after all, richest Ult Right org on the planet. Grows and fosters lunies to suit its politics & financial position. So why did we hear numerous what amounts to advertisements on ABC Radio this morning that content is back in this heinous group’s platform?

ABC: Let’s somehow make this Morrison’s problem.

Not a fan of the PM. But why hate him so much, when Albo and other Labor leaders literally gone disappeared during the Covid time. At least his Govt rolled out the vaccine, many countries not even have any available as yet.

Thanks for the reminder that 'news' articles on what people say on Facebook are essentially a🐂eating it's own💩

Same with Albo’s FB page. They’re full on nutjobs.

The PM said HerdImmunity' - we said no He said Covidsafe app will - we said hell no We said vaccines? - he said, step back I'm first. Unbelievable! ScottyFromCoverUps

Oh wait, our case:fatality ration is 3% So that's 3% x 25M = 750,000 dead people What is wrong with this people?

''Totally unnecessary for a virus with a 98 per cent recovery rate,' one Facebook user wrote, while another suggested the survival rate was as high as 99 per cent.' 2% of 25M = 500,000 dead people And it's a horrible death, drowning in your own lung fluids

Ha ha - his supporters!!

There should be a law banning politcians from using the flag in anyway shape or form, apart form having one on a flagpole.

The replies which highlighted (in red, usually) the orange part of the needle, trying to convince us the needle hadn't had its cap removed, were quite funny.

Like ... how the average CV victim is a year older than the average age of all deaths combined?

he just blocks people from commenting on his FB page if they call him out for anything, i was blocked from commenting over a year ago, all thats left is his hillsong happy clappers telling him what he wants to hear Scottyknew

Why is Scott privileged?

Morrison stole a vaccination that should have gone to an emergency worker . Just for a photo opportunity😥
