New video by physician falsely claims COVID-19 vaccines worse than COVID-19

A video featuring a Houston-based physician presents a slew of debunked claims about COVID-19. In the video, the physician falsely asserts that the COVID-19 vaccine is an experimental gene therapy, not a vaccine. He also argues that COVID-19 vaccines are more dangerous than the virus itself, that the vaccines will make COVID-19 illness worse due to antibody dependent enhancement (ADE), and that tens of thousands of people have experienced adverse reactions including thousands of cases of anaphylaxis. There is no evidence from previous or ongoing studies that the COVID-19 vaccines will cause ADE. Serious adverse reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been extremely rare.
