<p>The claim that Covid mRNA vaccines caused a 112,000% surge in brain clots, as reported by Slay News, is based on a study published in the International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science (IJIRMS). The study alleges that Covid mRNA injections carry a risk of brain clots that is 1,119.6 times higher than the flu shot.</p>
<p>However, several issues need to be addressed to evaluate the credibility of this claim:</p>
<h3>Methodological Concerns</h3>
<p>The study analyzed reports of cerebral thromboembolism from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). While VAERS is a valuable tool for monitoring vaccine safety, it is important to note that VAERS data are subject to reporting biases and do not establish causality. The CDC itself acknowledges that VAERS reports are not verified and may include incomplete or inaccurate information.</p>
<h3>Scientific Consensus</h3>
<p>The scientific community has not widely accepted or verified the findings of the study cited in the Slay News article. Peer-reviewed studies published in reputable journals, such as the New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet, have not reported such a dramatic increase in brain clots associated with Covid mRNA vaccines.</p>
<h3>Expert Opinions</h3>
<p>Leading medical experts and organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the CDC, have consistently maintained that the benefits of Covid mRNA vaccines far outweigh the risks. While rare adverse events, including blood clots, have been reported, these occurrences are extremely rare and do not support the claim of a 112,000% surge in brain clots.</p>
<h3>Reliable Sources</h3>
<p>For a more balanced perspective, it is essential to refer to reliable scientific sources. A study published in the journal Vaccine, which analyzed data from 99 million people across eight countries, observed significantly higher risks of myocarditis following mRNA-based Covid injections but did not report a dramatic increase in brain clots. The study also warned of potential safety signals that require further investigation.</p>
<p>In conclusion, the claim that Covid mRNA vaccines caused a 112,000% surge in brain clots is misleading and lacks credible scientific support. The study cited has not been widely accepted or verified by the scientific community, and the methodological concerns associated with VAERS data further undermine the claim's credibility.</p>

Claim Review: Covid mRNA Vaccines Caused 112,000% Surge in Brain Clots

<h1>Claim Review: Covid-Vaccinated Kids Are Six-Times More Likely To Die Than Non-Vaccinated Kids — Study</h1>
<p>Infowars recently claimed that a study published earlier this year demonstrated a link between new-onset asthma in children and COVID-19 infection, with worse outcomes for infected children who received the COVID-19 vaccination. The claim further states that vaccinated kids are six times more likely to die than non-vaccinated kids.</p>
<p>The study in question, titled 'The association between COVID-19 vaccine/infection and new-onset asthma in children - based on the global TriNetX database,' was published in a peer-reviewed journal. The study found a significantly higher incidence of new-onset asthma in COVID-19 infected children compared to uninfected children, regardless of vaccination status. Specifically, 4.7% of COVID-19 infected unvaccinated children developed new-onset asthma, versus 2.0% in their non-COVID-19 counterparts within a year. For COVID-19 infected vaccinated children, the incidence was 8.3%, higher than the 3.1% observed in those not infected.</p>
<p>However, the claim that vaccinated kids are six times more likely to die than non-vaccinated kids is misleading. The study does not provide evidence for increased mortality rates. Instead, it focuses on the incidence of new-onset asthma. The study's conclusion states, 'The study highlights a strong link between COVID-19 infection and an increased risk of new-onset asthma in children, which is even more marked in those vaccinated.'</p>
<p>The study also mentions that COVID-19 infection is believed to influence the onset of asthma due to its inflammatory nature impacting the respiratory system. It should be noted that the COVID-19 vaccines have an inflammatory effect of their own, which could potentially contribute to the observed outcomes.</p>
<p>In summary, while the study does show a higher incidence of new-onset asthma in vaccinated children with COVID-19 infection compared to unvaccinated children with COVID-19 infection, it does not provide evidence for increased mortality rates. The claim that vaccinated kids are six times more likely to die than non-vaccinated kids is not supported by the study cited.</p>

Claim Review: Covid-Vaccinated Kids Are Six-Times More Likely To Die Than Non-Vaccinated Kids — Study

<p>A recent study published in the journal Scientific Reports examined global cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) between 1967 and 2023. The study found that out of 19 vaccines examined, 17 were potentially associated with GBS, including COVID-19 and influenza vaccines. The findings also showed that reports of vaccine-related GBS surged following the introduction of the swine flu vaccine in 2009 and the COVID-19 vaccine in 2020.</p>
<p>GBS is a rare condition that attacks the peripheral nervous system, causing sudden numbness and muscle weakness. The study reported 117 deaths among the 15,377 cases of vaccine-associated GBS, with most deaths occurring in people aged 65 and over.</p>
<p>The researchers noted that studies have consistently shown a higher risk of GBS from COVID-19 and flu infections compared to vaccination. They cited a four- to seven-times increase in GBS following influenza infection.</p>
<p>Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D., senior research scientist at <a href="https://remedia.social/claim-author/childrens-health-defense-org-b3c2e48c34df">Children’s Health Defense (CHD)</a> , praised the study’s scope but questioned its methodology. Brian Hooker, Ph.D., chief scientific officer for CHD, also questioned the study’s conclusion that infection poses a greater risk of GBS compared to vaccination.</p>
<p>The study used data from VigiBase, the WHO’s global database of adverse event reports. The researchers concluded that Ad5-vectored COVID-19 vaccines are associated with a higher incidence of GBS, especially when compared to the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.</p>
<p>The study’s findings did not indicate sex-specific risks of GBS but found an increased association with advancing age. The average time of GBS onset was 5.5 days, with a high standard deviation, suggesting variability in onset times.</p>
<p>The study’s authors acknowledged the scarcity of data connecting GBS to vaccination and the need for more research to elucidate the underlying mechanisms linking vaccines and GBS.</p>
<p>In conclusion, while the study found associations between several vaccines and GBS, it also noted that the risk of GBS from infections like COVID-19 and influenza is higher than from vaccinations. The claim that most vaccines are associated with GBS and that reports of vaccine-associated GBS have been increasing steadily over time is partially true.&nbsp;</p>

Claim Review: Guillain-Barré Syndrome Associated with 17 Vaccines, Including Covid and Flu Shots

<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>A recent article from The Expose claims that Public Health Scotland has revealed that Covid-19 is no more deadly than seasonal flu. This claim is based on a study that reported an infection fatality rate (IFR) of 0.08% for Covid-19 in Scotland, which is within the range of the IFR for seasonal flu (0.03% to 0.1%). However, a closer examination of the data and scientific literature reveals significant misinterpretations and misinformation.</p>
<h2>Understanding Infection Fatality Rates</h2>
<p>The infection fatality rate (IFR) is a measure of the proportion of deaths among all infected individuals, including those who are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. The IFR for Covid-19 has been a subject of intense study and debate throughout the pandemic.</p>
<p>A systematic review and meta-analysis published in the <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)32545-9/fulltext">Lancet</a> estimated the global IFR of Covid-19 to be around 0.68%, which is significantly higher than the IFR of seasonal flu.</p>
<h2>The Winter Covid-19 Infection Study</h2>
<p>The article from The Expose references the Winter Covid-19 Infection Study (WCIS), which reported an IFR of 0.0762% for Scotland. However, it is essential to note that this study has not been peer-reviewed and its methodology and findings should be interpreted with caution.</p>
<p>Moreover, the WCIS study focused on a specific time period (November 2023 to March 2024) and a specific population (participants in England and Scotland). The IFR can vary significantly depending on the population studied, the prevalence of comorbidities, and the availability of healthcare resources.</p>
<h2>Covid-19 vs. Seasonal Flu</h2>
<p>While the IFR is an important metric, it is not the only factor to consider when comparing the severity of Covid-19 and seasonal flu. Other factors include:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Transmissibility:</strong> Covid-19 is more contagious than seasonal flu, with a higher basic reproduction number (R0). This means that Covid-19 can spread more rapidly and widely than seasonal flu.</li>
  <li><strong>Hospitalizations:</strong> Covid-19 has resulted in a much higher number of hospitalizations and intensive care unit (ICU) admissions than seasonal flu. This has placed a significant burden on healthcare systems worldwide.</li>
  <li><strong>Long-term effects:</strong> Many people who have recovered from Covid-19 continue to experience long-term symptoms, a condition known as 'long Covid.' The long-term effects of Covid-19 are still not fully understood, but they appear to be more severe and persistent than those of seasonal flu.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>The claim that Covid-19 is no more deadly than seasonal flu is false. While the IFR of Covid-19 in Scotland was reported to be within the range of seasonal flu in a specific study, this finding is not representative of the global IFR of Covid-19, which is significantly higher. Furthermore, Covid-19 is more transmissible, results in more hospitalizations, and has more severe long-term effects than seasonal flu.</p>
<p>It is crucial to rely on peer-reviewed scientific literature and official public health guidance when evaluating claims about the severity of Covid-19. Misinformation can have serious consequences for public health and safety.</p>
