Correcting this week’s misinformation: week of January 12, 2023
This week we take a look at the misinformation floating about excess risk of severe events, bacterial meningitis, and spike protein cancer.
January 12, 2023
Spike protein cancer
An anti-vaccine lawyer falsely claims that COVID vaccines cause cancer by misinterpreting studies, despite consistent cancer rates and retracted research.
January 12, 2023
Bacterial meningitis
Jeff Beck’s death from bacterial meningitis is unrelated to the COVID vaccine, despite false claims by anti-vaxxers.

Correcting this week’s misinformation: week of January 5, 2023
This week we once again take a look at cardiac events in athletes, an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, and whether the CDC is hiding “safety signals.”
January 5, 2023
Safety signals
A claim about “hidden” CDC safety signals is based on misleading use of publicly available VAERS data, which is unverified and not proof of vaccine danger.

New variants
COVID variants arise from the virus’s natural mutation process, not from vaccines, as viral mutation is inherent to its nature.
January 5, 2023
Athlete cardiac events
Claims of increased athlete cardiac events linked to COVID vaccines are misleading; such incidents occurred pre-vaccine and can also result from COVID itself or unrelated causes.
