I've been following this site since 2021, and the doctor has earned my respect and trust due to her no-nonsense articles written in plain everyday language so everyone can understand. Nothing she has ever written has been wrong so far to date.
This article puts to rest the claims of "death by vaccine," and she addresses all of the conspiracy theories and vaccine-caused conditions individually. (TLDR: There
are cases of myocarditis and other vaccine-related issues the anti-vaxxers are screaming about, but the odds are astronomically low of being affected by these side-effects.)
She dispels a lot of the "evidence" presented by anti-vaxxers as poorly conducted research and outright fraud by using videos and stories from before the vaccine was even available.

Rule #1 of Incident Investigation: Never begin an investigation with a preconception, because all of the evidence you find will support that preconception, and you will miss other important evidence in the process.
i tried keeping an open mind while going thru this.
RIFF's rule #1 needs to b applied to this article. this statement in the beginning is false-" We have more evidence than for any other vaccine or disease in the history of humans that the benefits of COVID-19 vaccines greatly outweigh the risks." the covid vaccine has not been around long enuf to have the data.
the article goes on to contradict itself in explaining away the rumors. it blames the CDC's database as being inaccurate but goes on to say it is good. so the data is bad when used to show flaws but good when it proves the vax is safe and effective. that is almost the same as the vax is bad cause TRUMP was PREZ but good once BIDEN took office. the vax does not differentiate the 2. has no bearing on the truth.
" When doctors say the COVID vaccines are “safe,” they don’t mean the risk of side effects is zero..." that is not how it was sold to the public. there wasn't enuf testing to even know the side effects that could or would occur. legally u can not advertise for a drug without listing side effects and disclaimers, none except the vax.
"No one denies COVID-19 vaccines can have rare but severe effects. The question is how severe they are and how often they occur compared to infection." there are several issues with these statements. the side effects are rare when they happen to others but common when they happen to u. same thinking with covid is just the flu. until an individual gets covid, then it is real. because there has not been long term testing, we have no idea how common or rare the side effects are and under what conditions they become more common, b that ppl taking certain meds or with certain health issues.
the covid vax is not a true vaccine but it was and still is sold as 1. it does not prevent infection nor the spread of covid. it is only an aspirin vax in that it covers up symptoms. as such, the vaccine gave ppl a false sence of security which led to more ppl being infected. data so far shows that even mild cases of covid can have long term effects on ppl's health and lead to death.
if the amount of $$ and time that was spent on the vax had been used to give ppl the true facts and real masks, more ppl could have avoided catching covid.
