COVID mRNA vaccines do not cause heart problems or strokes; research shows that COVID infection, not the vaccine, increases the risk of serious cardiac events.
The claim that COVID vaccines killed as many people as the virus is false; CDC data shows only 9 vaccine-related deaths compared to over 1.4 million COVID deaths in the U.S.
The claim that COVID vaccines suppress the immune system is false; research shows that vaccination enhances the immune response rather than suppressing it.
The claim that COVID and vaccines caused more U.S. deaths than world wars is misleading, as data shows higher vaccination rates correlate with lower death rates.
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 that the Hepatitis B vaccine causes autism is unsupported by evidence and based on debunked misinformation.
