Quick Take
An article claims that the Cleveland Clinic warns of mass deaths from mRNA COVID vaccines within five years. We did the fact check to term this claim as false.
The Claim
A Slay News article alleges that Cleveland Clinic warned of a “wave of mass deaths” among vaccinated individuals within five years, citing myocarditis and other risks.
Fact Check
Did the Cleveland Clinic make any warnings about mass deaths?
No, the Cleveland Clinic has issued no such warning. The Cleveland Clinic has consistently supported COVID-19 vaccination as a reliable way to prevent severe illness and hospitalisations. The organisation has not issued any statements linking vaccines to “mass deaths” or supporting such speculative claims. Assigning these false statements to the Cleveland Clinic appears to be an attempt to mislead the public and undermine trust in vaccines.
Do mRNA COVID vaccines cause myocarditis-related mass deaths?
No, myocarditis cases associated with mRNA vaccines are very rare and generally manageable. Research, including findings from the Cleveland Clinic, indicates that most myocarditis cases following mRNA vaccination are mild and resolve with proper treatment. In contrast, the risk of myocarditis is significantly higher after a COVID-19 infection. Studies consistently show that the benefits of vaccines in reducing severe illness and hospitalisation far outweigh the small risks of side effects like myocarditis.
There have also been speculations about mRNA vaccines harming children’s immunity, but this is false and misleading.
Do mRNA COVID vaccines cause long-term harm?
No, mRNA vaccines have undergone extensive safety evaluations. Clinical trials and long-term surveillance demonstrate that mRNA vaccines are safe and effective. These vaccines teach the immune system to fight COVID-19 by using a short-lived mRNA sequence. This sequence breaks down rapidly in the body and does not interfere with human DNA, relieving concerns about genetic alterations. Rare side effects, such as mild myocarditis, are far outweighed by the vaccines’ role in preventing severe illness, hospitalisations, and deaths from COVID-19.
We have also debunked similar claims which said COVID vaccines contain nanobots and can cause turbo cancer and autoimmune diseases. However, this is completely false.
Can myocarditis survival rates be linked to vaccine risks?
No, myocarditis survival rates are being misrepresented in the claim. The statistics fail to consider key details. Myocarditis due to COVID vaccines is much rarer and milder than myocarditis from other causes, like COVID-19 itself. Data from millions of people who have been vaccinated shows no concerning patterns over time. Current research strongly supports the safety of mRNA vaccines, showing that the benefits far outweigh the risks.
Can we predict health outcomes five years after vaccination?
Not definitively, but historical evidence suggests no reason for alarm.
Adverse effects from vaccines usually occur shortly after administration rather than years later. Claims of “mass deaths” are speculative and remain unsupported. Evidence from millions of vaccinations worldwide indicates the safety of mRNA vaccines over the short and medium term. Ongoing monitoring and long-term studies continue to support the vaccine’s favourable safety profile.
Why do claims like this spread?
The Slay News article combines speculative opinions with selective data to mislead readers. By citing figures like Geert Vanden Bossche, a known critic of COVID-19 vaccines, it gives an illusion of credibility. Such tactics exploit public fears to spread vaccine misinformation, gain traction and harm public health efforts.
THIP Media Take
The claim that Cleveland Clinic warned of mass deaths caused by mRNA COVID vaccines is false. It represents another instance of misinformation related to COVID-19 vaccines, which undermines trust in vaccines. We advise you to always trust reliable sources, such as health agencies and scientific publications, for accurate information. Vaccination remains one of the most effective ways to protect against severe COVID-19.
