Do vaccines suppress your immune system? Did the COVID vaccine kill as many people as the virus? Do mRNA vaccines cause strokes or heart problems? Find out in this week’s newsletter.
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.
This week we explore some claims about boosters causing deaths across the pond, whether vaccines make you more vulnerable to COVID, and if COVID has killed more than all the world wars.
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.
This week: false claims that mRNA vaccines cause cancer, COVID is safer than vaccination for students, and Pfizer’s shot causes kidney injury.
Kidney injury after Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is very rare. VAERS shows 1,133 self-reports among 300 million doses. COVID-19 commonly damages kidneys.
