Quick Take
A social media post claims that CDC data has established that Covid vaccine can take 24 years off of your life. We fact-checked and found this claim to be False.
The Claim
An Instagram post reads, “Breaking: According to the new CDC data, the Covid vaccine could take 24 years off of your life.”
Fact Check
Did the CDC state that the COVID-19 vaccine shortens life span by 24 years?
No, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that the COVID-19 vaccine shortens the lifespan by 24 years or any significant amount of time. COVID-19 vaccines have undergone rigorous testing in clinical trials to ensure their safety and effectiveness. It was believed that these vaccinations were unsafe as they developed so fast. However, this is not true. Rather, these vaccines have been shown to be highly effective at preventing COVID-19 infection and reducing the severity of the disease in those who do get infected.
There is no official document from the CDC which states that the COVID-19 vaccine shortens the life span by 24 years. Rather, it has stated that the COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective at preventing serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. It also states that the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine far outweigh the risks.
However, statistics show that the life expectancy did drop but the cause was believed to be the pandemic itself. Previously, there were claims that stated that people aged 25-44 experienced an 84% increase in excess mortality due to the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. However, this wasn’t true. Neither the percentage mentioned was verified nor the cause was proven to be vaccine administration.
In a fake claim there was a video being circulated on social media where the French Nobel Prize winner Luc Montagnier said that all vaccinated people will die in 2 years.
One of the claims say that Covid 19 has around 99% survival rate and the vaccine is unnecessary since only a handful of people actually die of Covid.
Vaccination is a critical tool in controlling the spread of the virus and reducing the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. In fact, getting vaccinated is recommended by health authorities around the world, including the World Health Organization (WHO) as an essential measure to protect public health and save lives.
It’s important to rely on credible sources of information for accurate and up-to-date information about COVID-19 and vaccines, such as government health agencies, reputable medical organizations, and scientific studies. Misinformation about vaccines can be harmful and lead to unnecessary fear and hesitancy. If you have concerns or questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide you with accurate information and guidance based on your individual health circumstances.
Vaccine-related misinformation is so common, such as, the FDA saying COVID vaccines can cause blood clots, COVID-19 vaccines lower immunity, etc.
