Robert Malone makes several misleading and unsubstantiated claims about COVID-19 vaccines in Judicial Watch interview
Claim:
“Leaky vaccines” are causing SARS-CoV-2 to evolve rapidly; COVID-19 vaccines don’t prevent disease and death; childhood vaccine safety is doubtful
Study didn’t show COVID-19 vaccines weaken children’s immune response, contrary to claim by Alex Berenson
Claim:
A study showed a “weakened immune response in kids injected with Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot”; “The mRNA Covid jabs damage immune responses to other viruses in children”
COVID-19 vaccines don’t weaken the immune system; Lancet study misrepresented in Virology Journal comment
Claim:
Lancet study showed that vaccinated people have lower immune function than unvaccinated people; COVID-19 vaccines suppress the immune system
Washington Times article by Robert Malone and Peter Navarro relies on inaccurate and unsubstantiated claims about virus evolution, vaccine immunity, and COVID-19 vaccine safety
“This article has inaccuracies throughout with a clear view to push an anti-vaccine agenda. The picture depicting a skull with eyes and nose made of coronaviruses in the shape of the U.S. is sensationalist. The opening line calls it Biden’s strategy. It was also Trump’s and is the strategy of every country and the WHO.”
Too early for conclusions on long-term COVID-19 immunity, but some findings suggest that immune memory against the virus lasts for up to eight months and possibly longer
Claim:
“COVID-19 immunity likely lasts for years”
No evidence that COVID-19 vaccines cause more severe disease; antibody-dependent enhancement has not been observed in clinical trials
Claim:
COVID-19 vaccines will cause more severe disease through antibody-dependent enhancement
Potential role for T cells in COVID-19 immunity accurately reported in National Geographic article
“The article accurately discusses the recent findings about the presence/relevance of T cell response against COVID-19. Indeed, both arms of adaptive immunity, humoral and cellular, contribute in different ways to the body’s fight against viral infections. What remains to be seen and explored in greater detail is how important the role of antigen-specific T cells is in protecting people from a re-infection or ameliorating the disease symptoms.”
Contrary to popular claim on social media, RNA vaccines do not alter our DNA
Claim:
“Bill Gates explains that the COVID vaccine will use experimental technology and permanently alter your DNA”
Claim that flu vaccine increases coronavirus infection is unsupported, misinterprets scientific studies
Claim:
flu vaccine increases risk of coronavirus infection
No, an “FDA study” did not find that vaccines contain cancer-causing viruses
Claim:
The FDA study looked at vaccines that are made from living cells [...] oftentimes contaminated with hidden viral fragments which have the potential to cause cancer.
Mike Adams falsely claims cancer genes and “entire genetic code” are found in vaccines, based on unverified report
Claim:
Vaccines [have been] found laced with entire genetic code for abnormal human loaded with cancer genes
New York Times accurately reports vaccine-derived polio outbreaks caused by low vaccine coverage
“The content of the article is correct: attenuated polio strain type 2 contained in the oral vaccine can – in very rare cases – mutate and cause disease in under-immunized persons. However it might be good to specify that if the vaccine coverage is good, this will not happen (so the vaccine coverage has to be maintained, since it has prevented 13 million cases since 2000, according to the WHO).”
Claim that virus contaminating polio vaccine between 1955 and 1963 is cancer-causing not supported by science
Claim:
CDC Admits 98 Million Americans Received Polio Vaccine In An 8-Year Span When It Was Contaminated With Cancer Virus
Article claiming vaccines cause autoimmunity and autism due to fetal DNA contaminants found unsupported and implausible
“While the letter provides some concerns about the fetal cell-derived DNA contamination in vaccines, it does not provide any actual evidence to support the claims made. The whole hypothesis of the author (which is misleadingly presented as fact) is based on the author’s own measurements of fetal cell-derived DNA, which has serious methodological problems that could be easily prevented by RNase treatment”
Vaccination does not weaken the immune system against natural infection
Claim:
With repeated use of vaccines, cell-mediated immunity weakens
