A popular vaccine opponent is using a recent ethics study about the treatment of unvaccinated people during the pandemic to falsely claim that COVID-19 vaccines never worked and that vaccinated people are more likely than unvaccinated people to get COVID-19.
Although the study itself does not include false claims, vaccine opponents are using it to advance an anti-vaccine narrative. Messaging may emphasize that data has consistently shown that vaccines protect against severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19 and that people who are up to date on their vaccines are at lower risk of COVID-19 infection.
