No evidence supports claims that mRNA vaccines cause T-cell exhaustion and autoimmunity; vaccines are safe and protect against diseases.
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-19 vaccines caused Princess Kate’s cancer lack evidence. Early-onset cancer rates rose in the 1990s, before COVID vaccines were introduced.
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.
Steve Kirsch’s claims of 10 million COVID vaccine deaths and healthier unvaccinated children rely on incomplete data, a retracted study, and a biased survey.
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.
