These 24 House GOP candidates are COVID-19 misinformation superspreaders

At least two dozen Republicans running for Congress this year have spread lies about the coronavirus pandemic, including the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.

Former President Donald Trump was once the nation's superspreader-in-chief — both for the coronavirus and COVID-19 misinformation. Now, nine months out from the 2022 midterm elections, Republican members of Congress and House candidates are spreading dangerous misinformation about the pandemic.

At least two dozen current House Republicans or Republican candidates for House have pushed false conspiracy theories or medically inaccurate information about COVID-19 vaccines, treatment, prevention, and transmission.

Some have advocated the use of ivermectin (an anti-parasite medication) or hydroxychloroquine (an anti-malarial drug) as treatments of or prophylactics against COVID-19. Neither has been approved for use or proven to be effective against the coronavirus or its variants.
