Joe Rogan and a comedian question Hepatitis B vaccines for newborns. The vaccine protects against infection from undiagnosed mothers and other risks, and is very safe.
Claims that childhood vaccines cause neurodevelopmental issues, allergies, and asthma are false. The vaccine schedule is safe and scientifically validated.
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.
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 vaccines cause autism are debunked. A retracted 2014 study misinterpreted data, and no credible evidence supports a link between vaccines and autism.
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.
