In this particular claim, he states the obvious. Throughout history,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gavi.org\/vaccineswork\/historys-seven-deadliest-plagues\">plagues and pandemics have killed hundreds of millions of people<\/a>, and there\u2019s no question that the COVID pandemic caused far more deaths in our country than world wars. The number of United States deaths for all foreign wars is just over\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1009819\/total-us-military-fatalities-in-american-wars-1775-present\/\">680,000<\/a>, compared to over\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/covid.cdc.gov\/covid-data-tracker\/#datatracker-home\">1.1 million deaths<\/a>\u00a0in our country due to COVID.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, our tweeter does not stop at the obvious. He blames vaccines as well as the virus for the U.S. COVID death toll, but this claim is easily disproved. If vaccines were responsible for deaths during the pandemic, the communities with the highest vaccination rates would have a higher rate of deaths. However, data shows that the opposite is true. The communities with the highest vaccination rates had\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/377\/bmj-2021-069317\">lower death rates<\/a>\u00a0than the communities with low vaccination rates.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The claim that COVID and vaccines caused more U.S. deaths than world wars is misleading, as data shows higher vaccination rates correlate with lower death rates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","jtf_topic_subjects":[189,188,218],"class_list":["post-10774","jtf_topics","type-jtf_topics","status-publish","hentry","jtf_topic_subjects-covid-19","jtf_topic_subjects-mrna-vaccines","jtf_topic_subjects-vaccine-safety","entry","no-media"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics\/10774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/jtf_topics"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics\/10774\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10777,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics\/10774\/revisions\/10777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"jtf_topic_subjects","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topic_subjects?post=10774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
