In an interview with Chris Cuomo, former CDC head Dr. Redfield suggests that COVID vaccines have significant side effects and that people under 50 do not need them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”The Facts:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=””]\u201cThese are important vaccines, We saved a lot of lives,\u201d Dr. Redfield says in the interview. He then goes on to say that they aren\u2019t that critical for those under 50, presumably because they aren\u2019t in danger of acute death.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s true the majority of deaths from COVID was in those over 50, bad outcomes beyond death occur. According to the\u00a0CDC<\/a>, Long COVID was more likely in those 35-49 (8.9%) versus those 50-64 (7.6%) and those 65 and older (4.1%).<\/p>\n

According to a\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0looking at the benefits of the vaccination campaigns, in the time between April 2021 and March 2022, COVID the vaccination campaign resulted in 2,576,133 fewer mild COVID-19 cases, 243,979 fewer nonfatal COVID-19 hospitalizations, and 51,675 lives saved from COVID-19\u00a0with net benefits of approximately $732 billion.<\/p>\n

While side effects<\/a> do happen, the risks of\u00a0COVID vaccines<\/a>\u00a0are far fewer than the risks of COVID\u00a0infection<\/a>, with severe side effects from the COVID vaccines being extremely rare.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
