Covid Vaccine Deaths

Do data from England and Wales show teens vaccinated for COVID-19 are three times more likely to die than unvaccinated teens? No, that's not true: The United Kingdom's Office for National Statistics (ONS) says the information lacks context and doesn't take into account clinically vulnerable children. In addition, the office says, there's "no evidence in the ONS mortality data to…

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…

Are remotely detonated graphene bubbles exploding like bombs in the bodies of COVID vaccine recipients, causing Marburg/hemorrhagic fever-like symptoms?

Did the number of COVID-19 vaccine-related deaths in Taiwan eclipse the cumulative death toll from the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself? No, that's not true: There is no data to support the contention that the vaccines are more deadly than COVID.

Are COVID-19 vaccines "dangerous and ineffective" and do they "need to be withdrawn from the market"?

More than 535 million doses of COVID vaccines have been administered in the United States since December 2020. Serious adverse events are rare, and reports of…

Does a comparison of January 2022 case rates for the unvaccinated and the vaccinated in Scotland prove that refusing vaccination improves Scots' odds of avoiding infection, hospitalization and death from COVID-19? No, that's not true: A gross comparison of the two groups does not account for important differences between those two groups other than their vaccination status. For instance, the…

Did Dr. Robert Malone correctly claim in a speech that COVID-19 vaccines are not working, that they cause infertility and that vaccine makers are protected legally while families are not?
