The Claim:
The death of actor, LGBTQ rights activist, and all-around charming human Leslie Jordan has the usual suspects claiming that vaccination took his life.
The Facts:
The unfortunate passing is Leslie Jordan has not yet been determined, with the cause of death listed as “deferred pending additional investigation.” He was a 67-year-old man who had been feeling unwell for some weeks.
There is no evidence that his death was due to vaccines, but people will often believe what fits their pre-chosen narrative even without proof.
(Correction: an earlier version mistakenly used the name Leslie Jones instead of Leslie Jordan. Leslie Jones, comedian, is alive and well at the time of this newsletter posting, we apologize for any confusion.)
