Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo advises against mRNA COVID vaccines citing unproven risks, but scientific evidence shows the vaccines are safe, effective, and do not alter DNA.
A single case study can’t prove COVID vaccines cause fatal heart failure, especially with limitations and the patient’s stable recovery; COVID itself can cause heart issues.
Claims that COVID vaccines cause significant myocarditis and pericarditis are misleading. Risks are low and outweighed by reduced COVID hospitalization rates.
Claims that COVID vaccines cause all cases of pericarditis are unfounded. VAERS data alone cannot prove causation; other vaccines have been investigated for similar risks.
Claims that the CDC hides myocarditis info are false. Vaccine-related myocarditis is rare and less severe than myocarditis from COVID.
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 mRNA vaccines are unsafe are unfounded. Studies show minimal risk from vaccine DNA fragments and highlight the benefits in reducing COVID complications.
The claims of a U.S. Senator known for berating scientists during public hearings sent you clicking this year when he claimed that no healthy people have died from COVID, but the vaccine carries a 28 times higher risk for myocarditis than…
One cardiologist claims that because mRNA produces a “foreign protein” on the surface of human cells, all vaccinated people are injured due to “auto-immunity.”
A widely shared tweet falsely claims that an 8-year-old’s tragic death from cardiac arrest was caused by vaccines, despite no evidence linking the two.
