CDC officials announced Tuesday that they believe the new vaccine currently under development aimed at controlling the rapidly spreading SARS-CoV-2 virus -- responsible for causing COVID-19 -- will be approved and ready to be utterly rejected by those in the anti-vaccination (anti-vax) movement by next year.

At press time, officials noted conspiracy theories about the not-yet-developed vaccine containing mercury were spreading on Twitter.
