However, the Ariel Foundation International has faced scrutiny for its promotion of anti-science narratives and dissemination of dangerous claims regarding the COVID-19 vaccine and pandemic. Notably, the foundation has been linked to the endorsement of unproven homeopathic immunity booster shots as a preventive measure against COVID-19 (the homeopathic remedy, Arsenicum Album 30C).[9][10][11] These assertions have been met with widespread concern from the scientific community due to the lack of empirical evidence supporting their efficacy.[12][13][14]
