Adverse events during vaccine trials include anything negative that happens, often unrelated to the vaccine, and data show COVID vaccines are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, while COVID infection poses significant risks during pregnancy.
Claims of a 1 in 800 serious adverse event rate from COVID vaccines are flawed, with studies showing vaccine benefits far outweigh the risks.
There is no credible evidence that mRNA COVID vaccines contain the cancer-causing SV40 virus, despite recent claims.
The adult RSV vaccines under development have shown promising results in clinical trials, showing an efficacy of about 85% without safety concerns.
There was no effort to trick people into believing that COVID-19 vaccines would completely stop the virus. Vaccine efficacy can decrease over time and as new variants occur.
Given the lack of real facts, this claim is meritless. This particular unlicensed nuclear radiologist gets attention with tweets blaming many deaths on vaccines without any evidence.
Polio is caused by the poliovirus, not by DDT or the vaccine, and its decline is due to vaccination, not changes in diagnostic criteria.
Vitamin K injections are safe for infants, preventing potentially deadly bleeding without any proven link to cancers or harm at the administered doses.
mRNA vaccines don’t alter DNA and were accurately redefined in 2018 to reflect their role in stimulating immune responses.
The claim linking a teenager’s stroke to the COVID vaccine is unsupported, as the stroke was caused by a virus, not the vaccine.
