A 62-year-old German man deliberately got 217 Covid-19 vaccine shots in the span of 29 months, according to a new study, going against national vaccine recommendations. Thatâs an average of one jab every four days. CNNâs Meg Tirrell reports.
COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy benefits both mother and baby. Side effects are generally mild, and studies donât show negative effects on the baby. A criticized study that gave COVID-19 vaccines to pregnant rats doesnât show that vaccines cause autism or that people shouldnât get COVID-19 vaccines, contrary to claims.
The COVID-19 vaccines have saved millions of lives, according to multiple studies. Despite this, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo issued a statement on Jan. 3 calling for a halt in the use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, made by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna.
Being vaccinated against COVID-19 helps protect pregnant people from severe COVID-19. When given during pregnancy, the vaccines can also reduce the risk of hospitalization from COVID-19 early in a babyâs life. A new study adds to the evidence that vaccination during pregnancy is safe for babies, contrary to social media and online claims.
COVID-19 vaccination reduces the risk of death from COVID-19. Social media posts have misused survey data and adverse events reports to falsely claim that COVID-19 vaccines have killed more people than COVID-19. But serious adverse events resulting from vaccination, including deaths, are rare.
Small amounts of DNA from the manufacturing process may remain in the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Purification and quality control steps ensure any leftover DNA is present within regulatory limits. There isnât reason to think that this residual DNA would alter a personâs DNA or cause cancer, contrary to claims made online.
People with cancer are particularly vulnerable to severe disease and death from COVID-19. Vaccines provide needed protection. It has not been shown that COVID-19 vaccines cause or accelerate cancer. Nor does a recent paper about a mouse that died of lymphoma âproveâ that the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine induced âturbo cancer,â contrary to social media claims.
Serious side effects after COVID-19 vaccination are rare, and there isnât evidence people need to undergo a âspike protein detoxificationâ regimen after getting vaccinated, contrary to claims made online. Nor has such a regimen been shown to help people recover from long COVID, or long-term health problems after having COVID-19.
The U.S. is seeing an uptick in COVID-19 cases, so it may be prudent for people to wear masks when out in public and take a few extra precautions. But the government is not planning to implement mask mandates or âlockdowns,â despite claims from the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Documents show that Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins received 58 royalty payments from 2010 to 2021 for their research. Only three of the payments came in 2020 or 2021; the rest were made prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. But social media posts falsely claimed all the payments were âfor allowing companies to use their COVID-19 vaccines.â
