A false analysis that was originally published in September claims that COVID-19 vaccines have caused 17 million deaths. Several vaccine opponents are recirculating the report.
Recommendation:
Medium Risk Read More +
The persistence and recent resurgence of this false claim increases its risk. Debunking messaging may highlight that the report is not peer-reviewed and uses flawed methods to draw conclusions with insufficient evidence. The analysis concludes that excess deaths after the COVID-19 vaccine rollout were vaccine-related, ignoring that these deaths closely correspond with spikes in COVID-19 infection, not COVID-19 vaccination. Moreover, higher vaccination rates do not correspond to higher excess deaths. Fact Checking Source(s): AFP, Health Feedback
