Claims that multiple COVID boosters cause severe health issues are misleading. Vaccination benefits outweigh the rare risks of adverse events.
Claims that COVID vaccines prove vaccines cause autism are false. Extensive studies show no link between vaccines and autism.
Claims that the Amish avoid vaccines and are the healthiest are false. Studies show the Amish do vaccinate, and their COVID death rates aren’t lower.
Claims that vaccines are not placebo tested are false. Many vaccines undergo saline-placebo trials, and the use of active controls is guided by ethical standards.
Claims that COVID vaccines have killed 10 million people and unvaccinated children are healthier are false. Data used to support these claims is unreliable and misinterpreted.

RFK Jr.’s claim that COVID vaccines were oversold is misleading. Vaccine efficacy waned due to virus mutations, but they still prevent severe disease.
Vaccinated people can donate blood without waiting, as long as they feel well and the vaccine is FDA-approved. COVID vaccines are safe and don’t impact blood donation.
