No, a study from Denmark didn’t find that COVID-19 vaccines make people more prone to infection; biases in the study likely led to underestimated vaccine effectiveness
Claim:
“Danish researchers [...] found protection against Omicron turned negative three months after the second dose”

The scientific evidence shows that COVID-19 vaccination reduces the risk of infection and mortality; analysis of cases and deaths from 145 countries is methodologically flawed
Claim:
“New big data study of 145 countries show COVID vaccines makes things worse (cases and deaths)“

Misleading
Claim that previously infected people don’t transmit COVID-19 is unsupported, originates from misinterpretation of CDC’s FOIA response
