A\u00a0tweet<\/a>\u00a0presents a video of a physician claiming that the mRNA vaccines increase mortality and cause cancer. The tweeter claims that \u201cover 17,000 scientists and doctors around the world\u201d support the video claims as \u201cscientific fact.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There are two issues with this claim: it is based on the beliefs of a person with no medical background and it misrepresents the data cited.<\/p>\n

When we evaluate the accuracy of any claim, it\u2019s important to consider the expertise of the source. Here, we have a physician known for spreading COVID-19 misinformation. The authority this physician cites for his claims is a self-described equity investment executive with no medical or public health background.<\/p>\n

This executive claims that people aged 25\u201345\u00a0 who had the COVID-19 vaccine experienced an 84 percent increase in mortality, but\u00a0this claim has been proven false<\/a>. Our non-medical executive also tries to support his false claim with a graph of excess deaths taken from CDC\u00a0data<\/a>. However, the data he uses actually represent excess deaths due to COVID itself. There is absolutely no evidence that vaccines were involved in these deaths.<\/p>\n

The tweet\u2019s suggestion that mRNA in the COVID vaccine causes cancer is a misrepresentation of a 2018\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0performed by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The center did do a study of mRNA, but it was not the mRNA used in the vaccine. As the center explained in a\u00a0statement<\/a>\u00a0clarifying their research, \u201cThere are thousands of different kinds of mRNA in human cells. Each kind of mRNA does different things. The mRNA used in vaccines does not cause cancer or alter DNA.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
