CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — UPDATE (July 2nd):

We spoke with Tanja Benton’s attorney Doug Hamill Tuesday, who tells us Benton’s religion is “Christian non-denominational.”

According to the Associated Press, an internet-wide video by the group Project Veritas led to false claims online that Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine contains fetal cells.

The AP says this caused social media users to spread this information online, referencing religious exemptions from the vaccine.

A study by National Geographic shows fetal cells as a part of the testing or development process of the COVID-19 vaccine, but not a direct ingredient.

But, Hamill says Benton believed that the vaccine would be injecting fetal cells into her body.
