The “died suddenly” shockumentary is ridiculous disinformation. Let me count the ways…./1

A) If the vaccine was supposed to “depopulate the world” as the doc claims, then it’s doing a bad job. Instead it saved millions of lives. COVID would have done a better job just running unchecked. /2

B) the film claims ppl have started dropping dead since the vaccines in 2021. I used data from the CARES* registry from 2017-2021 to graph the extrapolated incidence of sudden cardiac arrest in the US. The only big increase happened in 2020 from COVID-19, before the vaccines /3

*The CARES dataset (Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival) represents 40% of cardiac arrest data in the US and can be extrapolated to the whole US using weighted estimate methods. This data shows an increase happened due to COVID, before vaccines were even available /4

C)film claims that morticians are seeing postmortem blood clots from the vaccine. @thereal_truther found that the clots in the doc that supposedly came from a postmortem vaccinated person were taken from a 2019 educational youtube video of a pulmonary embolectomy procedure ⬇️ /5

Here @Doctor_Eric_B explains the difference between antemortem and postmortem blood clots and why none of this is “new” and the clots are not from vaccines ⬇️ /6

D) Dr Ryan Cole also claims cancer cells suddenly “wake up” bc of “toxic spike proteins” from the vaccines. @dr_jon_l explains that the “vaccines cause cancer” claims are not biologically plausible given all that we know about the natural history of cancer ⬇️⬇️ /7

There have been almost 13 BILLION vaccine doses given to date. The vaccines have had the most rigorous safety surveillance of any vaccine program to date. They have been found to be exceptionally safe /8

There have been some rare adverse events found to be associated with the vaccines, namely myocarditis with the mRNA vaccines and TTS with the J&J vaccine. But there has been a process in place for assessing these AEs and not a “cover up”/9

Thrombosis w/thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) after J&J vaccine is rare and has occurred in ~4 cases per 1M doses. It was immediately examined, and this vaccine was deprioritized for use as a result /10 cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…

Rare myocarditis was found in young males after dose 2 of mRNA vaccine in the following age groups: 12–15 years (70.7 cases per 1M doses of Pfizer), 16–17 years (105.9 per 1M doses of Pfizer), 18–24 years (52.4 & 56.3 per 1M doses of Pfizer & Moderna)/11 jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

These events, although very rare, resulted in FDA warnings in the labels, full clinical case investigations and risk/benefit analyses. Why would this strict process be followed just for certain adverse events while others are “covered up?”. It’s ridiculous and makes no sense/12

Please make sure you are getting your health information from a reputable source. Those who are up to date on the vaccines and get the bivalent booster shot are 14.9 times less likely to die from COVID-19 /13
