Jamie Foxx’s representative has dismissed a conspiracy theory that suggested the COVID-19 vaccine was the cause of the actor’s recent medical emergency. Gossip columnist A.J. Benza made the unverified claim during an appearance on Dr. Drew Pinsky’s podcast, stating that Foxx had developed a blood clot and subsequently suffered a stroke after receiving the vaccine. However, Foxx’s publicist categorically denied these allegations, calling them “completely inaccurate.”
According to Page Six, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has repeatedly emphasized the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines. Despite this, unfounded conspiracy theories continue to circulate, leading to misinformation and confusion among the public.
Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”
Foxx, an Academy Award-winning actor, was hospitalized in mid-April due to a medical complication, as revealed by his daughter, Corinne Foxx, on Instagram. While the exact nature of his condition was not disclosed, Corinne expressed gratitude for the swift medical attention and care that contributed to his recovery. She requested privacy for the family during that time.
In May, Corinne took to social media to refute false reports suggesting that her father’s health was deteriorating. She confirmed that he had been out of the hospital for weeks and was actively involved in activities such as playing pickleball. TMZ later reported that Foxx had entered a physical rehabilitation center in Chicago to aid in his recovery.
As the rumor linking Foxx’s medical emergency to the COVID-19 vaccine gains attention, his representative’s swift response seeks to dispel any unfounded claims. It serves as a reminder to rely on verified sources and accurate information regarding vaccines and health-related matters.
