A photograph shows former boxer Mike Tyson wearing a shirt that says 'I believe in God, not in vaccines.
In June 2021, a photo supposedly showing former boxer Mike Tyson in an anti-vaccine shirt, reading 'I believe in God, not in vaccines' was widely circulated on social media: This is not a genuine photograph of Tyson in an anti-vaccine shirt. This fake image was created by altering a photograph that Tyson posted to his Instagram page in November 2020. In the original photograph, Tyson is wearing a 'Tyson' shirt from the official Mike Tyson Collection.
