A\u00a0viral<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0common<\/a> claim right now is that COVID vaccines are causing more harm than good, and in particular, they are causing untold death.<\/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=””]To believe the claim that 550,000 people died from COVID vaccines,\u00a0we would need to believe that every death happening within days of the vaccine is caused by the vaccine. We would also need to believe that side effects are underreported by a factor of about 30 (a claim from\u00a0this analysis<\/a>).<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s wrong to conclude that every death is a vaccine death without any evidence that the vaccine caused these deaths.<\/p>\n

Using\u00a0VAERS<\/a>\u00a0to support this claim is unreliable. In fact, the government required any death after COVID vaccination to be reported as a function of\u00a0the\u00a0emergency use authorization, regardless of causation. Deaths clearly not caused by\u00a0the\u00a0vaccine are included in these reports.<\/p>\n

Comparing the total number of deaths after vaccination, no matter the cause, with the number of deaths caused by the vaccine itself is misleading and incorrect. Moreover, assuming that the rate of reporting adverse events to VAERS after vaccination accurately reflects the true occurrence of adverse events is not accurate since these reports are unconfirmed.<\/p>\n

As with any question in science, we can use the scientific method, review it, and publish our results instead of just making assumptions. To whit: this\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0looked at the risks of different types of deaths after people got COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Janssen (Johnson & Johnson). They found that the risks of dying from non-COVID-19 causes, all causes, and certain heart-related problems were not higher after getting any of these vaccines. This suggests that the vaccines are safe in terms of these types of deaths.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
