One well known way that anti-vaccine influencers push misinformation about vaccines is that they misuse real studies and turn them into anti-vax propaganda.

Why?

They are counting on the fact that most people won’t actually take the time to read the study!

How to Misuse a Study and Turn It Into Anti-Vax Propaganda

Consider all of the anti-vax hype of a South Korean study right now.

The study, Long-term risk of autoimmune diseases after mRNA-based SARS-CoV2 vaccination in a Korean, nationwide, population-based cohort study, concluded that “mRNA-based vaccinations are not associated with an increased risk of most AI-CTDs,” with AI-CTDs being autoimmune connective tissue diseases.

The study wasn’t about myocarditis, which was used as a positive control, and so doesn’t say anything about the risk of myocarditis after getting vaccinated. — The study wasn’t about myocarditis, which was used as a positive control, and so doesn’t say anything about the risk of myocarditis after getting vaccinated, despite what Robert F. Kennedy, Jr and his Children’s Health Defense wants you to believe.

A conclusion that the anti-vax community somehow twisted into some kind of stunning news that COVID vaccines are causing all kinds of vaccine injuries!

The “potentially lethal Wuhan Spike protein” that you get with a natural COVID-19 infection?

Don’t believe them.

At least you should read the complete studies for yourself and come to your own conclusions.

And don’t cherry pick studies!

For example, I bet that none of those anti-vaccine influencers will ever post about this other South Korean study.

Many studies have shown that COVID vaccines are safe and necessary.

The study, Short- and long-term neuropsychiatric outcomes in long COVID in South Korea and Japan, found that getting vaccinated against COVID reduced your risk of long-term risk of adverse neuropsychiatric outcomes after a COVID infection!

Other studies have found COVID vaccines to be safe if you already have a connective tissue disease.

And while COVID vaccines do not seem to be associated with developing auto-immune diseases, do you know what is?

“Two studies that use large cohorts now highlight that SARS-CoV-2 infection is linked to a substantially increased risk of developing a diverse spectrum of new-onset autoimmune diseases.”
