DISINFO: The COVID-19 vaccine has provoked more illness and deaths than the virus itself
SUMMARY
The COVID-19 vaccine has provoked more illness and deaths than the virus itself. The vaccine is dangerous, it is not effective in preventing infection and the spread of the virus, causes serious side-effects, and damages the immune system. Vaccinated people are more susceptible to disease and infirmity. People vaccinated against COVID-19 are the main carriers of the virus.
RESPONSE
Recurrent disinformation narrative about the coronavirus, promoting anti-vaccine messaging.
It is not true, as the article claims, that COVID-19 vaccines are more dangerous and deadly than the virus. COVID-19 vaccines are safe and are currently the most effective weapon of prevention and containment of the pandemic. Vaccine-related deaths around the world have proved extremely rare, and most side effects from COVID vaccinations are mild.
Vaccination data are publicly available and updated on government platforms such as those of the United States, Canada and the European Union. The manipulation and misuse of COVID-19 vaccines public data have been repeatedly reported as the basis of anti-vax campaigns supporting the theory that COVID-19 vaccines are as dangerous, or more dangerous, than the virus itself.
The article’s claim that COVID-19 vaccines increase the spread of the virus is also not true. One of the individual effects of the vaccine is to reduce the chance of infection, by up to 91% in the case of mRNA vaccines. Also, there is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines weaken the immune system: research published by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) shows that the vaccines boost, not lower, the body’s immune response. For example, a CDC report from August 2021 found that people who had been infected with COVID-19 in 2020 got a dramatic boost in virus-killing immune cells later because they were vaccinated.
Read similar cases claiming that COVID-19 vaccines are more dangerous to most people than the virus itself, that COVID-19 vaccine will cause more deaths than COVID-19; it is a plot to reduce population, and that People vaccinated against Covid-19 are dying in hospitals.
