COVID-19 vaccines were “rushed into market”; VAERS shows an “unusual spike in vaccine adverse events”; unvaccinated people shouldn’t be a threat to vaccinated people
Flawed reasoning: The COVID-19 vaccines went through the same degree of safety and efficacy testing as other vaccines; they were developed more quickly due to previous knowledge and unprecedented resources.
Inadequate support: Reports in the U.S. VAERS database and anecdotes don’t demonstrate that the vaccine caused an adverse event and therefore can’t be used as evidence that a vaccine is unsafe.
Incorrect: Choosing not to vaccinate has consequences for others because it places oneself and others at a higher risk of infection and severe disease, and this increases the spread of the virus within the community.
The U.S. Vaccine Adverse Reporting System (VAERS) serves as a warning system for potential side effects of vaccination. However, VAERS reports contain unverified information and, on their own, can’t demonstrate a causal link between the vaccine and the adverse event. Systematic analyses of safety surveillance data from millions of people show that the COVID-19 vaccines have an excellent safety profile and are highly effective at preventing severe COVID-19 and death.
