Madonna Criticised For Spreading Vaccine Conspiracy Theory

Madonna's Instagram account has been flagged for spreading false conspiracy theories about coronavirus.

The pop star shared a conspiracy video which had also been promoted by US President Donald Trump. She claimed in a post that a vaccine for Covid-19 had already been found but was being hidden to "let the rich get richer".

Instagram blurred out the video, added a caption saying "false information" and directed users to a page debunking the video's claims, which noted that there is currently no vaccine.
