DISINFO: People vaccinated against Covid-19 are dying in hospitals

SUMMARY

At the present time it is the vaccinated, not the unvaccinated, who are dying from a multiple of causes in hospitals.

RESPONSE

Disinformation about coronavirus, promoting anti-vaccine messaging.

Current scientific research shows, that vaccines are effective in preventing deaths from COVID-19. According to a report released by the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), unvaccinated individuals are 11 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than those who are fully inoculated. Also, vaccinated individuals are almost five times less likely to get infected with the virus and ten times less likely to end up hospitalised due to complications from 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 is 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.

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 and that Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is not safe.
