Claims that COVID vaccines have killed 10 million people and unvaccinated children are healthier are false. Data used to support these claims is unreliable and misinterpreted.
Claims that the CDC hides myocarditis info are false. Vaccine-related myocarditis is rare and less severe than myocarditis from COVID.
COVID raises autoimmune disease risk, but vaccination lowers it. A large study found vaccinated individuals had fewer autoimmune disorders post-COVID.
RFK Jr.’s claim that COVID vaccines were oversold is misleading. Vaccine efficacy waned due to virus mutations, but they still prevent severe disease.
Vaccinated people can donate blood without waiting, as long as they feel well and the vaccine is FDA-approved. COVID vaccines are safe and don’t impact blood donation.
Claims that the CDC hides COVID vaccine safety info are misleading. Safety signals are not proof of danger but prompts for further analysis.
Claims that COVID vaccines caused 17 million deaths and saved none are false. Vaccinated individuals have lower mortality rates than the unvaccinated.
Claims that COVID vaccines are more dangerous than COVID are false. Misinterpretation of death certificates and VAERS data skews the risks and benefits.
Claims that COVID vaccines harm unborn babies are unfounded. Studies support vaccine safety and benefits during pregnancy, providing maternal antibodies to protect the baby.
Claims that a fourth COVID booster doesn’t reduce death risk are misleading. Studies show varied data, and newer vaccines are more effective.
