Claims of a 1 in 800 serious adverse event rate from COVID vaccines are flawed, with studies showing vaccine benefits far outweigh the risks.
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 model’s amputation was due to complications from COVID-19 and her congenital heart condition, not the mRNA vaccine.
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.
The documentary falsely claims that recent sudden deaths are caused by COVID vaccines, but the cases don’t hold up under scrutiny.
Studies on long-term risks of post-vaccination myocarditis are routine, and preliminary data indicates most patients recover fully within 90 days.
A claim that 1,000 studies prove COVID vaccines are unsafe is misleading; many studies discuss known rare side effects like mild myocarditis, but overall data supports vaccine safety.
A cardiologist falsely claims that all unexplained heart attacks and strokes are caused by the COVID vaccine, ignoring evidence that COVID infection itself increases cardiac risks more than vaccination does.
Florida’s recommendation against COVID vaccines for men ages 18-39 is based on an unpublished, non-peer-reviewed analysis with significant methodological issues, while evidence shows COVID poses a greater myocarditis risk than vaccines do.
A new study confirms that myocarditis after COVID vaccination is generally mild and self-resolving.
