Fact Check: New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern Did NOT Threaten To Put Vaccines In Water Supply

No ThreatDid "Jacinta Ardern", the prime minister of New Zealand, threaten to put mRNA vaccines in the water supply if enough people did not take the shot? Although that false image has been debunked, the rumor that Ardern considered putting a COVID-19 vaccine in the water supply persists. This article will focus only on the claim that Ardern threatened to put an mRNA vaccine in the water supply if enough people did not take the shot. Current mRNA technology requires injectable vaccinations to be stored in ultracold conditions, and while scientists are investigating the potential for developing oral mRNA vaccines, they don't currently exist. Several fact checking organizations debunked this fabricated report at the time, such as AFP Fact Check, Reuters and the Australian Associated Press.
