Are COVID vaccines criminal?

The Claim:

video featuring Dr. Robert Malone argues that COVID vaccines cause more harm than good, particularly for the young and healthy, fail to prevent infection, and are linked to widespread injuries and deaths, calling for criminal charges against pharmaceutical companies and government agencies for fraud, wrongful advertising, and mass negligent homicide.

The Facts:

In a recent retrospective study of over 1 million people, fully vaccinated people were found to have a lower risk of health problems like major heart diseases and dying from any cause compared to those who were not vaccinated.

Additionally, COVID vaccines are neither gene therapy nor experimental. They were thoroughly tested in large studies and do not change your DNA but instead teach your body how to fight the virus without giving you the illness.

We also know you can only make spike protein so long as you have the instructions for making spike protein in your body, and that comes from mRNA. One great thing about using mRNA in these vaccines is that mRNA degrades very quickly, generally within days. The spike protein stimulates immunity and will be neutralized by the immune system. But it will generally be produced for only a few days.

That the COVID vaccines were not tested for transmission is not news, nor is it something that was kept under wraps. The FDA authorization for the EUA back in Dec 2020 spelled out that “At this time, data are not available to make a determination about how long the vaccine will provide protection, nor is there evidence that the vaccine prevents transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from person to person.” But we did know that it would provide protection from hospitalization and death.

This study shows that even when infected with COVID, those who are fully vaccinated were contagious for about half as long and infected far fewer people (almost a quarter fewer) than those who were partially vaccinated or unvaccinated. And these newer studies support the idea that vaccinated people are less likely to transmit COVID.

In summary, there is no fraud, wrongful advertising, or mass negligent homicide to prosecute. No, COVID vaccines are not criminal. The overblown rhetoric is meant to inspire anger and not thought.
