Do COVID-19 vaccines suppress innate immunity and increase the risk of infectious disease and cancer? No, that's not true: There's no evidence that COVID (SARS-CoV-2) mRNA vaccines are causing these maladies. The data used to make those claims are based on information from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a database that keeps a record of reported but often…

Do Pfizer documents reveal vaccinated people will transfer their COVID-19 shots to the unvaccinated through inhalation and skin contact? No, that's not true: The claim is based on the standard clinical study protocol used for a wide range of medicines. There is no publicly available evidence the mRNA COVID vaccines cause vaccinated persons to cast off excess spike proteins. The…

Were documents published that confirm Moderna created the COVID-19 virus? No, that's not true: Bala Ambati, a University of Oregon research professor and one of the authors of those documents, told Lead Stories, "We are not casting aspersions on any person, company, or country, but rather raising the hypothesis that recombination in a human cell line with a lab leak…

Does this video provide factual proof that COVID-19 vaccines interfere with human reproduction, cause cancer and are ineffective? No, that's not true: Peer-reviewed and evidence-based information from qualified scientists has disproved those claims, which are made using faulty data and by reference to anecdotal information that would not pass muster as the basis for consequential public health decision-making, which relies…

Does this article provide a correct comparison between the severity of myocarditis cases caused by COVID vaccines and those resulting from COVID-19 illness? No, that's not true: It gets the comparison backward. Myocarditis experts say cases of inflammation of the heart muscle caused by COVID infection are significantly worse and far more common. A founder of the Myocarditis Foundation, Mayo…

Is there HIV and "foreign bacteria" in COVID vaccines or booster shots?? No, that's not true: The mRNA vaccines made by Moderna and Pfizer deliver biological blueprint material that causes your cells to generate spike proteins, which train your immune system in case you are exposed to spike protein-bearing SARS-CoV-2. Like many other vaccines long in use, the Janssen/J&J vaccine…

Did Department of Defense (DOD) "whistleblowers" reveal what a headline claims were "mind-blowing COVID-19 vaccine injury numbers"? Yes, they did, but their figures were based on a comparison with what the Pentagon says were under-reported medical data from years preceding COVID-19 vaccines. A Pentagon spokesperson says the data has been taken "offline to identify and correct the root-cause of the…

Do COVID-19 vaccines cause patients to suffer by triggering them to produce spike proteins throughout the body, including the brain, lung, heart, bone marrow and reproductive organs? No, that's not true: The claim was made without citation to peer-reviewed, independently confirmed research, raw data or checkable specific examples. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has declared the vaccines…

Do COVID-19 vaccines for children fail risk/benefit analysis, permanently damaging children's brains and reproductive systems to prevent a harmless infection? No, that's not true: The claim is made without scientific evidence to support it and in the face of data showing some children are killed and seriously sickened by COVID. Meanwhile, the consensus of published, peer-reviewed and field tested expert…

Is the purpose of COVID-19 vaccines to "kill off a large proportion of the population"? No, there's no evidence that's true: The idea stems from a sprawling conspiracy theory that alternately posits COVID, the vaccines or both as being manufactured with the goal of depopulating Earth. The claim was made by "Dr. Shankara Chetty" during a video interview (archived here)…
