Published studies show no association between COVID-19 vaccines and heart attacks, contrary to British cardiologist’s claim

Like all medical interventions, COVID-19 vaccines can produce side effects. Most of these side effects are mild and short-lived. More serious risks, such as a rare blood clotting disorder and a type of heart inflammation have also been associated with certain COVID-19 vaccines, but are rare. The risk of heart problems and blood clotting, just to name a few, is greater with COVID-19 than with the vaccines. By reducing the risk of infection and severe disease in people, COVID-19 vaccines offer many benefits that go beyond just preventing COVID-associated heart problems. As such, the vaccines’ benefit outweighs their risk.

Studies continue to show that COVID-19 vaccines don’t harm fertility

Misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines harming fertility is a widespread myth that has damaged public trust in the vaccines. While the original vaccine clinical trials didn’t evaluate the effects of COVID-19 vaccines on fertility, scientific studies and safety surveillance data later on have shown that COVID-19 vaccines are safe for pregnant women and don’t cause pregnancy or fertility problems. COVID-19 itself is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy complications, which vaccination can help prevent.

Peter McCullough makes inaccurate and misleading claims about COVID-19 vaccines at event hosted by European political party

While COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are associated with a slightly higher risk of myocarditis in young men, the risk of heart problems in general is higher in people who get COVID-19. Moreover, COVID-19 is associated with a host of health problems, of which heart problems are just one. Vaccination reduces the risk of infection and severe disease. As such, the vaccines’ benefit outweighs their risk.

What do we know about the safety of COVID-19 vaccine mRNA in breast milk?

Introduction A study by Hanna et al. published in September 2023 reported the presence of mRNA from COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in the breast milk of some lactating women[1]. This study gave rise to many social media posts questioning whether vaccine mRNA in breast milk would lead to adverse health effects in breastfeeding babies. Because pregnant … Continued

VAERS death reports don’t prove COVID-19 vaccines killed hundreds of thousands, contrary to claim by Steve Kirsch

The COVID-19 vaccines were initially issued in the U.S. under Emergency Use Authorization by the FDA, which requires every serious adverse event that occurred post-COVID-19 vaccination to be reported, regardless of whether healthcare providers believe the vaccine was the cause. This led to an increase in the number of deaths reported in VAERS following the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines in 2021. However, studies have shown that vaccinated people don’t experience a higher risk of mortality compared to unvaccinated people.

Rebel News article lacks evidence for claiming COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe and unnecessary

Studies have found that pregnant women who get COVID-19 are more likely to develop complications and carry a higher risk of death. Multiple scientific studies have shown that serious side effects following COVID-19 vaccination are rare and the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks. There’s currently no evidence that getting a COVID-19 vaccine together with another vaccine, like the flu vaccine, leads to serious adverse outcomes.

Analysis of adverse event variation between Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine batches doesn’t indicate safety problems, contrary to claim by John Campbell

Even before COVID-19 vaccines existed, there was already a baseline rate of illness and death occurring in the general population. The occurrence of an adverse event after vaccination in itself doesn’t necessarily mean the vaccine caused the event. To determine whether vaccination alters the risk of such events, researchers need to compare the baseline rate and the rate in vaccinated people. Multiple scientific studies have shown that serious side effects following COVID-19 vaccination are rare and the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks.
