There are so many myths about the COVID-19 vaccine, I wanted to post some facts about the new vaccines which we can use for debunking purposes. I used to think that the HPV vaccine brought the most hatred and misinformation from the anti-vaccine world, but it’s clear that the new COVID-19 vaccines are their newtargets.
This article will only focus on the five vaccines that I believe will eventually receive FDA or European Medicines Agency (EMA) approval – the Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ Janssen), and Novavax vaccines. I remain unconvinced that any vaccine made in China or the Russian Sputnik V vaccine will ever get approved by countries with robust drug regulatory agencies. However, if they are, I will certainly add them to a future iteration of this list. I’m going to make this in a basic chart form for ease of use. I will link to supporting evidence wherever relevant.

In June 2021, employees of Methodist Hospital filed a lawsuit in a Texas court challenging the hospital’s decision to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine. Although the lawsuit does raise one issue of legal uncertainty – whether you can mandate a vaccine under an EmergencyUse Authorization
(EUA) – its claim there is weak, and its other claims are a combination of incorrect factual claims and implausible legal claims. The suit should have little chance of success – but because of the timing, this may be the first legal decision we have on the question of mandating EUA vaccines. The hospital’s mandate has a deadline of June 7, 2021. It seems like most of the plaintiffs – as far as I can tell from the complaint – have already been dismissed, so the deadline may not require fast handling, but the fact that there is a very near deadline may affect scheduling.

Making its way through our court is a lawsuit against the President of the United States by a group that calls itself The Control Group. Our friend Orac already pointed outthat
the group’s claims are scientifically unsound. This post points out that the lawsuits are also legally unsound, in more ways than one.

Let’s talk about COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections. That is individuals who contract COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated bythe Pfizer
,
Moderna
,
or JNJ
vaccines, the only ones with Emergency Use Authorizations in the USA. This article is going to be short and, hopefully, sweet, because even though the number of COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections appear large, it really isn’t. It’s just simple math.

Once upon a time, I was told of an article published on the website of “journalist” Sharyl Attkissonwhere she accused a
lot of people of being astroturfers, including this old snarky feathered dinosaur. Now I admit to not being up-to-date on every cultural term that flows through the internet every day (who could?), but I had to find out more. Well, what is an astroturfer? Supposedly, it’s a pejorative term that describes a fake grassroots effort. Astroturf is fake grass, so that’s its roots (pun intended). I’m not really sure of the logic of placing science writers and evidence-based websites into the “astroturf” category, but she does it. It’s like the Big Lie, I guess if she keeps repeating it, people will think it’s true. Of course, let’s not forget that if we’re going to accuse any person or group of being astroturfers, we should straightaway look at anti-vaccine groups led by Del Bigtree and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
I mean they are the epitome of astroturfers. To quote Inigo Montoya, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think itmeans.”

Litigation threats by anti-vaccine activists are not new, nor are they unusual. Recently, anti-vaccine journalist Sharyl Attkisson sent alitigation threat
to Dr. Hotez, a threat she then published online. Her chances, if she actually sues, are slim, but that does not seem to be the point ofsuch threats.
As best as I can tell, litigation threats by anti-vaccine activists serve two purposes, neither of which depending on the validity of the claims. First, towards the target of the threat, the threat can serve as a deterrent to engage with the anti-vaccine activist. Second, in relation to the anti-vaccine activist’s own followers the threats can both serve to create a narrative of victimhood (“I’m targeted by ‘them’), and second to present themselves to their followers as bravely fighting back against attacks. This post will describe the events, then put them in the context of previous litigation threats by anti-vaccine activists and previous such behavior by Sharyl Attkisson, then make some suggestions to any reader targeted by similar threats.

Subjectively, one of the wilder claims one can find on social media is that marijuana can cure cancer. Or cannabis prevents cancer. It doesn’t matter what form – smoked, eaten, hemp oil (which is manufactured from the seeds of cannabis plants that don’t contain much THC, or
tetrahydrocannabinol, the active hallucinogenic agent of cannabis) – some advocates for cannabis will try to make the argument that it is some miracle drug for cancer. But is it? Yes, there are systematic reviews that indicate that cannabis may be effective in reducing nausea and vomiting inchemotherapy
. But
research has generated negative results in some well-done clinical trials and some positive results in others. But that has nothing to do with actually curing or preventing cancer itself, just dealing with the effects of the treatment. So what has real clinical and scientific research said about whether marijuana can cure cancer? Well, not to give away the conclusion, but not very much. Let’s take a look.

Regulatory agencies across the world, including the FDA and CDC, are monitoring COVID-19 vaccine adverse events including reports of myocarditis , a heart inflammation. Of course, the anti-vaccine squad will probably jump on this to make it appear that the vaccine is dangerous. My job is to look at this data and give you a scientific analysis of the observations and whether they are actually related to the vaccine. Like with reports of other conditions, such as blood clots,
after receiving COVID-19 vaccines, we need to examine whether this adverse event is related to the vaccine or just random events in which the incidence is no different than what would be predicted in a similar group of unvaccinated people.

My physician-fiancée and I have an amusing relationship – we talk about vaccines. We were wondering if someone should get the COVID-19 vaccine after a bout of COVID. And what she determined was a firm yes, you probably should get the COVID-19 vaccine even after recovering from COVID-19 because the vaccines provide better immunity than the natural infection. I know, several anti-vaccine probably fainted from reading this scientificfact.
Let me lay out the logic for this recommendation. Continue reading “Should you get the COVID-19 vaccine after COVID?

In the Canadian province of Alberta, anti-vaxxers are allegedly booking fake COVID-19 vaccine appointments in an attempt to block legitimate appointments to get the vaccine. When no one shows up, not only is there one less person getting vaccinated, but also those doses could be spoiled when they can’t be used. Alberta Health Services (AHS) was made aware of the fake COVID-19 vaccine appointments in a tweet: This is infuriating. The anti-vaccine goons are screaming and yelling “our bodies, our choice,” yet they are doing everything they can from those of us with functioning neurons to get our choice of vaccination to protect our bodies from a deadly disease. As I have written, these vaccines are extremely safe and extremely effective at preventing COVID-19-19. All the anti-vaccine mob has got are lies, myths, and tropes.
> COVID-19 vaccine facts and myths – UPDATED info about the new> vaccines
>
The problem with this is that we all know that if it is successful there, anti-vaxxers will employ the same strategy elsewhere in the world. This is why I’m glad that the Alberta police are monitoring this – let’s hope that they track down anyone booking fake COVID-19 vaccine appointments swiftly and make sure that these people are charged with every crime that the police can find. I wish that the social media giants would put an end to this misuse of their platforms. They are endangering people by keeping us from getting the vaccines for ourselves and our families. They have no right to do this to others. Even though we know that their “choice” to not get a vaccine is ridiculous and based on pseudoscience, at best, we basically just let them be. We don’t try to restrict their right to be ignorant offacts.

Just when I thought anti-vaccine insurrectionists could not go any lower, they find a way to do so. If they choose to catch the disease by not vaccinating, they can isolate themselves in a bubble somewhere so they don’t harm others. But if I choose to protect myself and my fellow humans, then leave me alone. Let me get the vaccine if I want (and which I did, of course). I do not understand these people. I do not understand their hatred of science or their fellow humans. I do not understand their logic.

I have written nearly 200 articles on the HPV vaccine,
many on Gardasil vaccine effectiveness, one of the most important issues about this important cancer-preventing vaccine. But that’s so much data, so I wanted to publish one article that reviewed the largest and best peer-reviewed articles that support the claims of Gardasil vaccine effectiveness. My goal is to make this article your “go-to” source for the best and clearest evidence that the HPV vaccine not only prevents HPV infections but it also significantly decreases cancer risks.
