mRNA vaccines don’t alter DNA and were accurately redefined in 2018 to reflect their role in stimulating immune responses.
The claim linking a teenager’s stroke to the COVID vaccine is unsupported, as the stroke was caused by a virus, not the vaccine.
The drop in flu cases during 2020–2021 is due to COVID-related protective measures that protect people from respiratory infection like masking and distancing.
A tweet falsely claims a document reveals harmful vaccine ingredients, but it misunderstands the vaccine manufacturing process.
COVID mRNA vaccines do not cause heart problems or strokes; research shows that COVID infection, not the vaccine, increases the risk of serious cardiac events.
The claim that COVID vaccines killed as many people as the virus is false; CDC data shows only 9 vaccine-related deaths compared to over 1.4 million COVID deaths in the U.S.
The claim that COVID vaccines suppress the immune system is false; research shows that vaccination enhances the immune response rather than suppressing it.
The claim that COVID and vaccines caused more U.S. deaths than world wars is misleading, as data shows higher vaccination rates correlate with lower death rates.
The claim that mRNA vaccines make Australians more vulnerable to COVID is incorrect, as data shows that vaccination reduces the likelihood of infection.
The claim of high death rates after COVID boosters in the UK is misleading, as the data focused on an older, more vulnerable population, and the UK government supports the vaccine’s life-saving benefits.
