No such story ran on the Feb. 16 front page (Screenshot).

The Claim

The Times U.K. featured article is titled "Doctors and experts advise against taking experimental jab.”

Emerging story

A screenshot circulating shows a front page of The Times UK features the headline: “Doctors and experts advise against taking an experimental jab.” 

The screenshot appears to be the front page of the Feb.16 print edition of The Times UK.

The headline on the alleged front page reads, “Doctors and experts advise against taking experimental jab.”

Misbar’s Analysis

Misbar's investigation discovered that the image of the Feb. 16 front page of The Times is fabricated

The picture below shows the actual front page for The Times on February 16, 2021. 

The Times also addressed the fake front page in a Feb. 27 article that put up the headline “Fake antivax Times front page posted on Twitter.”

The fabricated image circulating attempts to push back on the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

However, the fake screenshot is still circulating among anti-vaccine social media groups.
