POFMA has been invoked against the anti-vaccine website Truth Warriors for 'unverified and dubious sources' that cast doubt on the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

SINGAPORE — The Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act has been invoked against the anti-vaccine website Truth Warriors for citing "unverified and dubious sources" that cast doubt on the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

The Minister for Health has therefore instructed the POFMA Office to issue a Correction Direction to Truth Warriors. The website is required to publish the correction notice at the top of each webpage containing the falsehoods. While some countries with the lowest vaccination rates also have low reported coronavirus deaths, this is likely due to poor record collection for both vaccinations and deaths, MOH said.
