Vaccines do not cause the diseases they prevent. Killed, weakened, and mRNA vaccines cannot grow, spread, or cause infection.
HPV vaccines are not shown to harm reproductive health. Florida Medicaid records can show patterns but cannot prove vaccines caused any diagnosis.
Insurers profit when customers stay healthier, which is why some offer vaccine incentives. RFK Jr. claims vaccines harm people for profit.
Vaccine aluminum is processed by the body just like food aluminum. It’s injected into muscle, not the blood, with a 60+ year safety record.
The Children’s Health Defense paper claiming vaccinated 2-month-olds die more often was never peer reviewed and has multiple methodological flaws.
Japan’s vaccine delay didn’t cause SIDS to drop. Rates rose until 1998, when a safe-sleep program launched. Vaccinated kids have lower SIDS risk.
Many vaccines have been tested with saline placebos, contrary to Del Bigtree’s claim. Active controls are also valid when a safe vaccine exists.
Studies don’t link vaccines to SIDS. A journal retracted Neil Z Miller’s article for misusing VAERS data; RFK Jr. questioned the removal.
COVID vaccination is linked to better heart health, not harm: a 1M+ veteran study found ~40% lower risk of major COVID-related heart problems.
Flu shots don’t kill seniors on vaccination day. A study found vaccinated older people died less often (20.9% vs 23.9%); VAERS can’t prove cause.
