In 2021, he petitioned European medical regulators to stop COVID vaccine clinical trials, claiming the vaccines could cause infertility in women. That claim has since shown to be\u00a0false<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yeadon made the\u00a0claim<\/a>\u00a0that healthy children don’t die and are more likely to die from the vaccine on an episode of Steve Bannon’s internet show. Like his other claims, he provides no evidence to support it. He does mention\u00a0VAERS<\/a>, but as we’ve mentioned many times before, VAERS analyzes reports of adverse events that happen after vaccination. Anyone can submit a report to\u00a0VAERS, and submissions do not mean that a vaccine definitely caused\u00a0the\u00a0event.<\/p>\n

One doctor famously submitted a report that\u00a0the\u00a0flu shot turned him into\u00a0the\u00a0Incredible Hulk<\/a>.\u00a0VAERS\u00a0is helpful for keeping track of vaccine safety, but\u00a0just\u00a0because something is reported doesn\u2019t mean\u00a0the\u00a0vaccine caused it. Even if they\u2019re not sure, doctors should report any important health problems that happen after vaccination.<\/p>\n

The claims he makes about vaccine injuries are unsubstantiated because they were lifted without analysis from a database of unverified reports. As for the idea that healthy children do not die from COVID? It is true that children are at a much lower risk compared to older people. However, low risk\u00a0does not mean no risk<\/a>. Healthy children can still die from or suffer\u00a0MIS-C<\/a>\u00a0and other\u00a0complications<\/a>\u00a0from COVID.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
