Are vaccine makers violating federal law when they point out there are duplicate reports, mistaken claims of causality and other flaws in the federal government's Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS)? No, that's not true: The law cited by the person making the claim includes no such penalty provision. VAERS, set up by Congress to help improve vaccine safety by…

Does the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination do more harm than good? No, that's not true: The video by the Canadian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA) in the Rumble post saying so recycles many previously debunked claims about the COVID vaccine. The Pfizer shot (BNT162b2) received full approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on August 23, 2021, for people 16 and…

Are the injections against COVID-19 "deadly experimental shots" and not vaccines? No, that's not true: Medical science classifies all three injected preventatives as vaccines and former President Donald Trump, whose Operation Warp Speed set records in vaccine development, has repeatedly urged the vaccine-hesitant to get the shot as he did, calling it a vaccine. The three vaccines in use in…

Is the COVID-19 "vaccination death rate" discovered in FDA data 2.905%? No, that's not true: The numbers used are not from the Food and Drug Administration, they're from an analysis of adverse event reports prepared by Pfizer for the FDA that were made public as part of a lawsuit. The claim misrepresents numbers published in the report to erroneously come…

Did the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention admit that parents vaccinated for COVID-19 are killing their unvaccinated children? No, that's not true: The claim is made by a non-scientist citing a paper that mixes vaccination information from Europe and Israel with CDC material from a database of vaccinated patients' unverified adverse events reports. The CDC has explicitly warned against…

Did the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) admit that COVID-19 vaccines cause more instances of carditis, or heart inflammation, than the agency has previously stated? No, that's not true: Such a claim pulls numbers from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Conditions reported to VAERS after a vaccination do not automatically prove a causal relationship between the…

Have 45,000 people died as a result of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine? No, there's no evidence of that: The number is a guesstimate from an anonymous "whistleblower" who relied on data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which is a collection of unverified reports. She did not provide the statistical model for calculating her claim. The claim appeared…

Do vaccines pose a seven times higher risk of death than COVID for people in their 20s? No, that's not true: The authors of a Japanese medical bulletin provide no clear evidence of deaths due to the vaccine to establish a ratio with deaths because of the virus. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study also says "vaccinated…

Do records from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) subpoenaed by an attorney show over 158,000 adverse "events" in the first 2½ months of COVID-19 shot trials? Yes, but that number is misleading. While "158,000 adverse events" were noted in Pfizer documents released as part of a lawsuit, that doesn't mean there were 158,000 serious effects in people who received…

Did Japanese health ministry panels of experts add myocarditis to warning labels for COVID-19 vaccines? Yes, that's true, but they are not in "stark contrast" to the rest of the world. The addition of warnings about myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the tissue surrounding the heart) to the Pfizer and Moderna labels in Japan on…
