The claim that mRNA vaccines make Australians more vulnerable to COVID is incorrect, as data shows that vaccination reduces the likelihood of infection.
The claim of high death rates after COVID boosters in the UK is misleading, as the data focused on an older, more vulnerable population, and the UK government supports the vaccine’s life-saving benefits.
The claim that Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine causes kidney injury and renal failure is based on rare, unverified reports, while COVID infection itself is a more common cause of kidney damage.
The claim that getting COVID-19 is safer than getting the vaccine is baseless and relies on an unscientific and flawed homemade study.
The claim that mRNA vaccines cause cancer is false and based on misinformation and misrepresented data.
The claim is false; hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin are ineffective treatments and wouldn’t have blocked vaccine authorization.
The claim that COVID vaccines caused a rise in AIDS cases among U.S. military personnel is false; AIDS is caused by HIV, not vaccines.
The claim that COVID vaccines alter DNA and can be passed to offspring is false; mRNA vaccines cannot interact with or change your DNA.
The claim that most vaccine-related miscarriages occurred after the COVID vaccine is based on misinterpreted, unverified VAERS data, while studies show COVID vaccines are safe during pregnancy.
There is no evidence that being around vaccinated individuals causes miscarriages, and claims otherwise are based on anecdotal cases without scientific support.
