If you're looking to rile up a crowd on social media these days, take an anti-vax stance. That likely isn't the reason Alex Foxen and his bride-to-be, Kristen Bicknell, used Twitter to opine on the COVID-19 vaccines. But they sure did cause a stir by questioning if the non-FDA-approved vaccines are even safe.
Despite the existence of a vaccine, in the U.S., the pandemic remains a problematic public health issue. Over the past week, more than 1,000 Americans have died daily, on average, from the coronavirus. That's significantly down from the pandemic's peak daily death toll of over 4,000 per day back in January, but still troublesome.
