Mashup Score: 0Posts mislead on Covid vaccine efficacy study - 12 month(s) ago
Articles and posts circulating on social media claim a study found the coronavirus vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna had “no effect on overall mortality” in clinical trials. This is misleading; the research confirmed the shots prevented Covid-19 fatalities — its purpose was to analyze potential protection from other causes of death, according to the paper authors and independent experts.

Mashup Score: 24Covid-19 vaccination not responsible for excess deaths in US - 1 year(s) ago
US health authorities agree Covid-19 vaccination saves lives, but an article claims official data indicate the shots are actually causing excess deaths. This is false; no such link has been proven, and experts say high mortality figures in 2022 correlate closely with the number of people who succumbed to coronavirus infections.

So, so, so obviously. Still, important to debunk this pervasive lie. "Covid-19 vaccination not responsible for excess deaths in US" https://t.co/dorUTuG3B9 by @jacob_manon via @APFactCheck Again, VAERS data NOT conclusive proof of anything. #ScienceUpFirst

Mashup Score: 11Covid-19 vaccination does not increase risk of RSV infection - 1 year(s) ago
Social media posts claim Pfizer and Moderna’s clinical trial results show their Covid-19 shots put children at greater risk of contracting respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). This is false; experts say the allegation is a misinterpretation of the data, no such risk has been identified at a population level, and infant and toddler vaccination rates are too low to correlate with the uptick of RSV…

Fox News host Tucker Carlson claims a decision from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will make the Covid-19 vaccine mandatory for all schoolchildren. This is misleading; the public health agency cannot declare a national vaccination mandate for schools, as requirements are determined locally and can vary from state to state.

Mashup Score: 11US cardiologist makes false claims about Covid-19 vaccination - 2 year(s) ago
Video of a cardiologist claiming that there is no reason for healthy people under the age of 50 or those who have recovered from Covid-19 to be vaccinated against the virus has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on social media. But medical experts say younger people should be inoculated because they can still be affected by the virus, and that the shots also benefit those who have…

Online articles and social media posts claim a University of Oxford study found that vaccinated Covid-19 patients carry 251 times the viral load of those who have not received the shots. But the study’s authors said the claim is a misrepresentation of their findings, as did a public health expert.

"Study did NOT say vaccinated Covid-19 patients carry higher viral load" (or Peter McCullough wrong again) https://t.co/P3OXGmFKZ0 Study authors: "the differences in viral load were driven by the ability of the Delta ... nothing to do with the vaccination status..."

Mashup Score: 2Covid-19 vaccines do not contain tracking devices - 3 year(s) ago
Social media posts claim Covid-19 vaccines could contain trackers, citing a video showing a positive reading when a device designed to detect pet chips is held over the arm of a vaccinated woman. This is false; the person who posted the video subsequently described it as a joke, and US health authorities say the vaccines do not contain trackers.

Social media posts share a video of a US pundit claiming that Covid-19 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines can cause people to develop a “magnetic force” due to a process called magnetofection. This is false; experts say the process is not used in the shots, which do not have magnetic components listed in their ingredients, and the web page about magnetofection used as a proof comes from a…
