Analysis
A social media post with nearly 2,000 engagements claims watermelon seeds can cure polio and many other diseases. Several responses suggest that seedless watermelon is promoted to keep people unhealthy.
Recommendations
Despite the post’s relatively high engagement, responding to each piece of misinformation may detract from priority talking points. If organizations wish to address the false claim, continuing to emphasize that polio has no cure and that vaccines are the only way to protect against the disease is recommended.
