She then thanked Spotify for the disclaimer the issued, but The White House wants them to take some more serious steps to deal with the situation, “That certainly includes Spotify. So this disclaimer, it’s a positive step, but we want every platform to continue doing more to call out misinformation while also uplifting accurate information,” Jen added.

According to the research, an unvaccinated person is 68 times more likely to die, and 16 times more likely to get hospitalized because of the virus. Jen added, “That’s pretty significant.
