Claims that COVID vaccines cause autism in rodents are based on flawed studies with small samples. Extensive research shows no link between vaccines and autism in humans.
Claims that vaccination status flaws skew COVID death data are misleading. Studies show higher COVID death rates in unvaccinated and low-vaccination areas.
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 COVID vaccines increase infection risk are false. A Cleveland Clinic study shows the bivalent booster reduces COVID-19 infection and hospitalization 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.
Claims that COVID vaccines cause Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) are unfounded. No evidence links mRNA vaccines to prion diseases.
Claims that COVID vaccines cause death within five months are false. Data shows lower COVID mortality rates for vaccinated individuals compared to the unvaccinated.
Claims that COVID vaccines cause Long COVID are misleading. Studies show no strong link, and many indicate vaccination reduces the risk of Long COVID.
