Jamie Foxx's rep DENIES bizarre online conspiracy that COVID-19 vaccine caused ... trends now

Jamie Foxx's representative has denied a bizarre online conspiracy claim that the COVID-19 vaccination caused the actor's mystery hospitalization. 

Jamie, who was born Eric Bishop, was filming the action-comedy Back In Action with Cameron Diaz in Atlanta, Georgia, in April when he was admitted to hospital. 

The actor, 55, has been treated at a facility in Chicago, which specializes in treatment for adults with 'severe complex conditions', including stroke recovery - although it has not been revealed what condition Foxx is suffering from.

Claims on social media that Foxx was left seriously ill after being injured by a vaccine have gone viral - with notable figures including conservative host Candace Owens suggesting Foxx had indeed been damaged by the vaccine.

The furore began when podcaster A.J.Benza made a shock unsubstantiated claim on Dr Drew Pinsky's online talk show  that Foxx had been left 'partially paralyzed and blind' after he received a COVID-19 vaccine.

Benza claimed Foxx was 'forced' to get a vaccine to work on a film and further alleged the actor developed a blood clot which led to a stroke afterwards -  Foxx’s representatives told NBC News that Benza’s claim is 'completely inaccurate.'

Pinsky later told the publication in a statement: 'The statements from A.J. were based on his own confidential sources, so I can’t speculate further than what he said on the show. I sincerely hope that AJ’s sources are wrong and Mr. Foxx will make a full recovery. 

'There is no evidence and I have no reason to believe that his medical condition is directly related to vaccine therapy or a post-COVID phenomenon. Any evidence of either would have to come from his physicians.'

He added that he supports and recommends 'all safe vaccines', but added that 'a concerning number of people have seemingly had their lives significantly affected by side effects, health issues, and the deaths of loved ones — and some signs suggest a connection to mRNA vaccines.'

Owens then insinuated on her podcast that Benza's statement must be true because Foxx's family didn't 'outright deny it' - with Owens' video racking up more than 180,000 views.

She said: 'Their silence seems as though there is some veracity to this claim. We’re all holding our breath to see whether or not Jamie Foxx speaks out.'

Charlie Kirk, the founder of the conservative organization Talking Points USA, tweeted: 'Those of us who spoke against the mRNA shot were attacked in every imaginable way. I am infuriated a decent person like Jamie Foxx fell victim to Big Pharma because a movie set is still dumb enough to mandate their cash cow clot shot.'

Kirk's spokesman told the publication he had shared the article 'so readers could check it out for themselves.'

Actor Kevin Sorbo also retweeted an article repeating the bizarre claims, and wrote: 'Praying for Jamie Foxx. I can’t imagine how many Americans are dealing with similar problems and the MSM hardly bats an eye.

Anti-vaxx tweets and Youtube videos have quickly spread across social media - the widespread misinformation about  vaccines has included false claims about their safety, efficacy, ingredients, side effects and purpose.

Studies and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have confirmed that vaccines are safe and effective.

DailyMail.com has contacted Jamie Foxx's representative for further comment. 

Foxx was said to have had a stroke after it was previously claimed he suffered a mystery health scare last month, according to Mike Tyson.

During an appearance on the Valuetainment podcast, ex-boxer Mike said of Jamie: 'He's not feeling well. They said a stroke. I have no idea what happened to him.'

The actor's health scare has come as a shock to fans and those who knew him, including host Patrick Bet-David, who revealed in his discussion with Tyson that he dined out with the star just months before.

'We were at a restaurant in LA... he showed up, looked really good,' he said. 'And then all of a sudden you hear stories.'
