The Claim:
Improv and the anti-vaccine movement have one thing in common: the response is always yes. Did the vaccine cause that? Yes. So what did they claim the COVID vaccine caused this year?
The Facts:
Since COVID, many of these conditions are, in fact, on the rise. Additionally, all of these conditions are known, verifiable results of COVID infection itself, while there is no evidence that the vaccine causes any of them. With over 13 billion doses of vaccines given, and many agencies tracking adverse events, we can feel relatively assured that vaccines do not cause such a litany of bad outcomes.
In fact, a new anti-vaccine film portrays several cases of people dying suddenly (supposedly from the COVID vaccine), but these are people who are either still alive or died from other verifiable causes.
