Correcting this week's vaccine misinformation

This week’s debunks: claims vaccines are unsafe, polio came from DDT, and COVID shots contain cancer-causing SV40. None hold up.

Weekly VFV fact-check debunks claims that HPV vaccines cause cancer, ivermectin treats COVID injuries, and vaccines killed the Shaw toddlers.

Claims that vaccines cause autism, chickenpox shots increase shingles, and vaccination worsens pandemics are contradicted by studies, CDC, WHO, and NHS.

VFV corrects claims about Fauci and vitamin D, COVID vaccine heart damage, and pregnancy vaccines. Myocarditis is rare; mRNA does not change genes.

Some vaccines now require shared clinical decisions, but families can still vaccinate. AAP and AAFP continue to recommend the full childhood schedule.
