The Safety and Efficacy of Vaccines

No, the claim that COVID-19 vaccines killed many multiples of those they saved is not supported by credible evidence and has been repeatedly debunked by experts and health authorities:

🔍 What the Data Shows​

  • COVID-19 vaccines have saved millions of lives by reducing severe illness, hospitalization, and death. This is backed by large-scale studies and global health agencies.
  • Serious adverse events and deaths linked to vaccines are extremely rare. Most side effects are mild and temporary.

❌ Debunked Claims​

  • Some viral posts and articles have falsely claimed that vaccines killed more people than COVID-19 itself. These claims often rely on:
    • Misinterpreted data
    • Unverified surveys
    • Sources known for spreading misinformation, such as The People’s Voice and Slay News.
  • A widely circulated claim from Steve Kirsch used a self-selected online survey asking readers how many people they “believe” died from vaccines. Experts say this method is not scientifically valid.

🧪 Scientific Rebuttals​

  • A German study cited in misinformation posts did not examine vaccine data at all, and its authors explicitly stated that claims linking vaccines to excess deaths were completely wrong.
  • Experts from institutions like Vanderbilt University and AAP FactCheck have confirmed that no reputable study has shown vaccines caused more deaths than they prevented.
