I recently had to block a user on here for spreading harmful disinformation on Covid-19 vaccinations - they claimed that "more people are killed by the vaccine than by guns".
This claim is patently false and easily refuted by looking at the extensive scientific literature on the topic (a sample of which is available here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html).
Which got me thinking: what motivates people to spread this nonsense?

@joe438 The Covid vaccine is based on the flu vaccines and a worldwide medical database shared by doctors I know of nobody that had major problems with covid! I am vaccinated and not the slightest problem
@Strictmichael75 Actually, they aren’t. Flu vaccines are made from deactivated or killed influenza viruses. That’s an age-old technique for producing vaccines. The COVID shots are based on mRNA and rely on your body seeing a protein that’s found on the COVID virus and reacting to that. It’s not based on a killed virus, but on a new, evolving technology.
I’m glad you aren’t having any issues from your shot. Many people are.
