Claims that COVID vaccines are particularly dangerous for athletes are unfounded and ignore that sudden cardiac arrest, the leading cause of exercise-related death, isn’t linked to vaccination.
A former pharmaceutical VP falsely claims COVID mRNA vaccines cause blood clots, but over 600 million safe doses in the US show no increased risk.
Claims that lockdowns will return are misinformation; with vaccines and masks available, lockdowns are unnecessary.
The claim that COVID vaccines harm children’s immune systems is misleading and unsupported by broader research.
There is no evidence that COVID vaccines cause cancer, and the claim that they contain the SV40 virus is unsupported by scientific evidence.
COVID vaccines do not make you more likely to die from COVID; vaccinated individuals have consistently shown lower mortality rates compared to the unvaccinated.
There is no evidence that COVID vaccines cause infertility, as only tiny amounts of nanoparticles reach the ovaries without any demonstrated harm.
COVID can cause severe outcomes, including death and long COVID, even in young, healthy people, and myocarditis risk is higher after infection than after vaccination.
The claim that 120,000 children died from COVID vaccines is unfounded, as excess deaths data do not specify causes, and higher excess deaths were observed in areas with lower vaccination rates.
The claim that COVID vaccines were intended to prevent transmission was clarified from the start, with the FDA stating that the initial authorization did not include evidence of preventing person-to-person transmission.
