Claims that COVID vaccines cause seizures in young children are misleading. Studies show a higher risk of febrile seizures from COVID infection than from vaccination.
No evidence supports claims that mRNA vaccines cause T-cell exhaustion and autoimmunity; vaccines are safe and protect against diseases.
Claims that COVID vaccines increase death risk are false. Scientific studies show no higher risk of death from non-COVID causes after vaccination.
Claims that vaccines cause autism are debunked. A retracted 2014 study misinterpreted data, and no credible evidence supports a link between vaccines and autism.
Claims that COVID vaccines cause “turbo cancer” in Princess Kate are baseless. No evidence links vaccines to cancer, and mRNA vaccines can’t alter DNA.
Claims that multiple COVID boosters cause severe health issues are misleading. Vaccination benefits outweigh the rare risks of adverse events.
Claims that COVID vaccines prove vaccines cause autism are false. Extensive studies show no link between vaccines and autism.
Claims that the Amish avoid vaccines and are the healthiest are false. Studies show the Amish do vaccinate, and their COVID death rates aren’t lower.
Claims that vaccines are not placebo tested are false. Many vaccines undergo saline-placebo trials, and the use of active controls is guided by ethical standards.
