Vaccines don’t cross the blood-brain barrier. Aluminum in vaccines is safely metabolized and doesn’t cause autism or autoimmune diseases.
Claims that herd immunity for measles doesn’t exist are false. High vaccination rates are crucial to prevent measles outbreaks and protect public health.
Claims that a fourth COVID booster doesn’t reduce death risk are misleading. Studies show varied data, and newer vaccines are more effective.
Nutrition, sanitation, and clean water are vital, but vaccines are also essential. Combined, they prevent millions of deaths and improve health.
Claims that mRNA vaccines create unusual genetic activity are misleading. Frameshifting is rare and not harmful; vaccines are safe and effective.
Claims that COVID vaccines cause autism in rodents are based on flawed studies with small samples. Extensive research shows no link between vaccines and autism in humans.
Claims that a flu shot caused a young man’s death are unproven. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is rare, and evidence linking it to vaccines is weak.
Claims that vaccination status flaws skew COVID death data are misleading. Studies show higher COVID death rates in unvaccinated and low-vaccination areas.
Claims that vaccines cause more cardiac problems than reported are false. Studies show COVID vaccines reduce the risk of heart issues, while COVID itself increases the risk.
Claims that polio and measles vaccines don’t work are false. Vaccines have significantly reduced measles cases and nearly eradicated polio, proving their effectiveness.
