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.

Vaccination recruits both the innate and adaptive immune system; COVID-19 vaccines are safe for children

Vaccination harnesses the capabilities of both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. Clinical trials and post-marketing studies showed that COVID-19 vaccines are safe for children. Although COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are associated with rare cases of myocarditis, post-vaccine myocarditis has a much better prognosis compared to COVID-19-associated myocarditis. The risk of myocarditis and future cardiovascular complications are higher with COVID-19. Therefore, COVID-19 vaccines’ benefits outweigh their possible risks even for children.
