InaccurateClinical trials and post-trial monitoring show that COVID-19 vaccines reduce the spread and occurrence of the disease
Claim:
COVID-19 vaccines are experimental and don’t prevent infection or transmission; most of us have a 0.05% chance of dying from COVID-19

InaccurateCOVID-19 vaccines don’t hamper the function of the immune system and are likely to limit the generation of variants; no evidence that they produce more lethal variants
Claim:
COVID-19 vaccines are dangerous; they cause an overreaction of the immune system; they suppress the NK cells of the immune system; they promote virus lethality

MisleadingCOVID-19 vaccines are critical for controlling the pandemic; vaccines still offer partial protection against new variants of the virus

COVID-19 mass vaccination will select for more virulent variants of the virus that causes COVID-19, which will escape vaccine-induced immunity and cause more severe disease
