Claims linking COVID vaccines to pertussis rise and immune system damage are false. VAIDS is not real; vaccines do not weaken the immune system.
Claims that vaccine-induced myocarditis causes death are unproven. Studies show no significant link, but rare events like myocarditis need large sample sizes for detection.
An investigation in Italy involves doctors’ failure to document and treat a rare blood clot in an 18-year-old after an AstraZeneca vaccine.
Claims that COVID vaccines cause seizures in young children are misleading. Studies show a higher risk of febrile seizures from COVID infection than from vaccination.
Claims that COVID vaccines increase death risk are false. Scientific studies show no higher risk of death from non-COVID causes after vaccination.
Claims that COVID vaccines cause “turbo cancer” in Princess Kate are baseless. No evidence links vaccines to cancer, and mRNA vaccines can’t alter DNA.
Claims that multiple COVID boosters cause severe health issues are misleading. Vaccination benefits outweigh the rare risks of adverse events.
Claims that COVID vaccines prove vaccines cause autism are false. Extensive studies show no link between vaccines and autism.
Claims that the Amish avoid vaccines and are the healthiest are false. Studies show the Amish do vaccinate, and their COVID death rates aren’t lower.
Claims that vaccines are not placebo tested are false. Many vaccines undergo saline-placebo trials, and the use of active controls is guided by ethical standards.
