A congressional hearing about alleged COVID-19 vaccine injuries recycled several debunked myths about COVID-19 vaccines. One circulating clip from the hearing claims that unvaccinated people have the lowest risk of getting COVID-19, while another claims that myocarditis and blood clots after COVID-19 vaccination are widespread.
Recommendation:
Medium Risk Read More +
The widespread circulation of the hearing clips elevates their risk. Prebunking talking points may continue to emphasize that COVID-19 vaccines protect against severe illness and death and that serious adverse reactions are extremely rare. Debunking messaging may highlight that the claim that unvaccinated people are at the lowest risk for COVID-19 infection is a misrepresentation of a Cleveland Clinic study. Messaging may also explain that a COVID-19 infection is far more likely to cause myocarditis or blood clots than a COVID-19 vaccine. Fact Checking Source(s): McGill University, Nebraska Medicine
