DISINFO: Possible link between flu and meningitis vaccinations and high COVID-19 deaths in Bergamo and Brescia
SUMMARY
A few months before the explosion of the COVID-19 pandemic, two large influenza and meningitis vaccination campaigns were conducted in Bergamo and Brescia. Strangely, no one has any interest in investigating a possible link between these vaccination campaigns and the subsequent massive number of COVID-19 deaths in these two Italian cities.
RESPONSE
Disinformation about coronavirus, amplifying false health information and promoting anti-vaccine messaging. The claims linking influenza and meningitis vaccination campaigns and COVID-19 pandemic are not supported by scientific evidence.
Similar anti-vaccine messaging in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic often suggests that vaccines are dangerous to human health and are just a profit-driven plot by "Big Pharma".
Vaccines are supported by extensive scientific research. They are the main tool for primary prevention of disease and one of the most cost-effective public health measures available, saving millions of people from illness, disability and death each year. Immunisation through vaccination is the best defence we have against serious, preventable, and sometimes deadly contagious diseases. See more information on vaccines here.
Read similar cases claiming that flu and meningitis vaccinations may be why so many people died of coronavirus in Brescia and Bergamo, and that Pharmaceutical multinationals will block investigations into why COVID-19 has caused more deaths in Lombardy than in the rest of Italy.
