COVID-19 vaccines did not cause a 366% increase in miscarriages, as article claims

By Samantha Putterman

There is currently no evidence of an increase in miscarriages as a result of COVID-19 immunization.

This claim was made based on United Kingdom data.

Health officials in the U.K. said the figures are being taken out of context. The article doesn’t account for the increase in the vaccination rates over time, or the average number of miscarriages that occur naturally.

A claim circulating online claims that the number of pregnant women who have miscarried increased by "366% in just six weeks" as a result of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.

This statement takes data out of context and presents an unfounded conclusion. Health officials in the U.K. say that there is currently no evidence of an increase in miscarriages after COVID-19 immunization. The article on which the claim is based misrepresents figures from the country’s vaccine reporting system, and officials say it doesn’t account for the increased vaccination rate over time, or the country’s average rate of miscarriages. Nor is there any evidence that has shown a causal link between the vaccine and miscarriages.

We rate this False.

No, it’s not safer to skip the COVID-19 vaccine to avoid permanent side effects

By Tom Kertscher

Getting vaccinated reduced the likelihood of COVID-19 infection by as much as 95% in clinical trials.

If you get vaccinated and still get COVID-19, vaccines make it less likely that you’ll get seriously ill.

There is no evidence of permanent side effects.

A widely shared Instagram post stated: "If I don’t take the vaccine, I’m at risk for covid. If I do take the vaccine, I’m still at risk for covid PLUS I’m at risk for permanent vaccine side effects. Therefore I’m reducing my risk by not taking the vaccine. That’s the real science."

Science shows that the three COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the U.S. reduce the likelihood of infection by 66% to 95% — and make it less likely that you’ll get seriously ill if you do contract COVID-19 after being vaccinated. There is no evidence the vaccines cause permanent side effects.

We rate the post False.

European database does not prove the COVID-19 vaccines are lethal

By Andy Nguyen

The post shares information from a European database of reported adverse effects after COVID-19 vaccination. The agency maintaining the database stresses the information it provides is preliminary and requires additional research before making conclusions.
The vaccines have been administered to millions of people across the globe and health agencies have vouched for their safety and effectiveness.

The Gateway Pundit claimed two of the vaccines being used in the United States are behind thousands of deaths and injuries in Europe.

"From Europe: 3,964 people have died from adverse drug reactions for COVID-19 ‘vaccines’ – 162,610 injuries," said the headline of the March 28 story, which was shared on Facebook.

The Facebook post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.

The Gateway Pundit cites information from Global Research, a Canadian website run by the Centre for Research on Globalization, which was accused by NATO of posting conspiracy theories, spreading Russian disinformation and undermining Western media.

A post claimed that in Europe "3,964 people have died from adverse drug reactions for COVID-19 ‘vaccines’ – 162,610 injuries."

That’s a misrepresentation of information in an European database that tracks suspected reactions to medicines, including COVID-19 vaccines. The agency behind the database cautions that the information is only of suspected side effects, and that it should not be interpreted as meaning that the medicine caused the effects or that it’s unsafe.

A detailed evaluation and scientific assessment of all available data is needed before drawing conclusions, the agency said.

We rate this claim False.
