The claim
Seven to 8 percent of recipients of the updated covid-19 booster “get so sick, they have to go to the hospital.”
The truth is that, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 0.03 percent of people 12 and up who got one of the new covid-19 boosters ended up in the hospital with serious side effects. And, per the CDC, no children (ages 5-11) were hospitalized after receiving the booster.
When the CDC followed up with those who reported hospitalization after vaccination, more than half said that their hospitalization was unrelated to the covid shot they had received.
How it started
On Monday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) stated in a viral tweet that 7-8 percent of people end up hospitalized after receiving a booster, citing Texas cardiologist Peter McCullough. Greene added that a recent Rasmussen poll also found that 7 percent of adult booster recipients have to go to the hospital because of the vaccine.
“Healthy people & kids should not get vaccinated and the risks increase greatly with boosters,” she wrote.
.@P_McCulloughMD points out 7-8% get so sick from second booster they have to go to the hospital and 7% responded the same to @Rasmussen_Poll.
It means this can no longer be ignored.
