“The "[e]stimated human cost" of the COVID-19 vaccines is 26.6 million injuries, 1.36 million disabilities and "300k excess deaths.”
FactCheck.org rated this: No Evidence
FactCheck.org says: Excess deaths associated with the pandemic continued in 2021 and 2022, but there is no evidence COVID-19 vaccines caused this phenomenon. COVID-19 continued to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans in those two years.
“The U.S. Department of Defense awarded a contract for COVID-19 research in Ukraine months before the virus was known.”
