COVID-19 is caused by a virus, not snake venom; no snake venom in COVID-19 vaccines, contrary to claim by chiropractor Bryan Ardis

Scientific evidence gathered in different laboratories around the world has established that the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent of COVID-19. Pregnant women are at a higher risk of developing severe COVID-19 and getting COVID-19 increases the risk of pregnancy complications, including miscarriage. Studies so far have shown that COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective at reducing the risk of severe disease and don’t increase the risk of negative pregnancy outcomes. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommend that pregnant women get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Neurological adverse events are very rare after COVID-19 vaccination and less frequent than after SARS-CoV-2 infection

Incidental illnesses, including neurological conditions, occur regardless of vaccination. Individual case reports and data from vaccine surveillance systems are generally insufficient on their own to establish a causal link between these events and the vaccine, so further investigations are needed to determine whether a vaccine caused these events. Epidemiological studies show that neurological adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination are very rare, much rarer than after SARS-CoV-2 infection, suggesting that the benefits of COVID-19 vaccines outweigh this potential risk.

Peter McCullough makes multiple false, misleading, and unsupported claims about COVID-19 vaccine safety and efficacy in viral podcast

All available evidence from clinical trials and safety monitoring indicates that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and not associated with a rise in medical conditions and mortality. COVID-19 vaccines are also safe and recommended for pregnant women, who are at a higher risk of severe COVID-19 and pregnancy complications associated with the disease. Furthermore, COVID-19 vaccines haven’t been shown to be toxic, making so-called “detoxes” unnecessary.

An ONS study didn’t show that the COVID-19 vaccine caused a higher risk of heart-related deaths in women, contrary to viral claim

COVID-19 vaccination provides the best protection against COVID-19. Like any other vaccine, COVID-19 vaccines can cause side effects, but most of them are mild and disappear after a few days. While serious reactions to vaccination can occur, they are very rare. Current evidence indicates that the potential risks of vaccination don’t outweigh their benefits at preventing severe COVID-19 and death.

No evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines cause “shedding”; Pfizer trial protocol doesn’t admit that vaccine shedding occurs

Viral shedding is associated with live attenuated vaccines, such as the MMR vaccine and chickenpox vaccine. This occurs because the weakened viruses used in live vaccines still retain the ability to reproduce themselves using our cells’ protein-making machinery. However, none of the COVID-19 vaccines available to date use live viruses. In addition, COVID-19 mRNA vaccines don’t induce high-enough levels of spike protein production that would lead the protein to be excreted. Scientific studies showed that SARS-CoV-2 infection causes shedding, but not vaccination.

Scientific evidence shows that COVID-19 vaccines don’t increase the risk of heart attacks, contrary to Russell Brand video

Multiple scientific studies have documented the detrimental effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the heart, suggesting that COVID-19 is a significant contributor to the increase in heart attacks among young people during the pandemic, although other factors, such as a delay in care due to lockdowns and healthcare disruption, could also have contributed to it. Studies show that the benefits of COVID-19 vaccines outweigh their risks, and that vaccinated people don’t have a greater risk of heart attack compared to unvaccinated people.
