“New Data from Walgreens Reveals Unvaccinated Have the Lowest Positivity Rate for COVID. ... Obviously, the vaccines are not working as advertised.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Misleading

FactCheck.org says: Walgreens said on its dashboard — and in a detailed report — that the positivity rates are unadjusted and can “lead to misinterpretation.” That data "cannot be used to reach vaccine efficacy conclusions,” it said.

“New Israeli Study Finds Fully Vaccinated People are at ‘Greater Risk of Hospitalization’ and 13 TIMES MORE LIKELY to Catch Covid-19 Than Those Who Have Recovered and Have Natural Immunity.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Not the Whole Story

FactCheck.org says: The study found that people who had COVID-19 and got a shot of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine had more immunity against the delta variant. And other studies show vaccination provides stronger protection than past infection.

“New Israeli study finds fully vaccinated people are at ‘greater risk of hospitalization’ and 13 times more likely to catch COVID-19 than those who have recovered and have natural immunity.”

PolitiFact rated this: Half True

PolitiFact says: The claim suggests that people are better off going unvaccinated. But peer reviewed studies repeatedly have found that vaccinated people are more likely to avoid hospitalization or death if they become infected.

“CDC Director Finally Admits that COVID Cases were Over-Counted in Hospitals - Just as Gateway Pundit and Donald Trump Reported in August.”

FactCheck.org rated this: False

FactCheck.org says: The CDC director said the agency knew of 223 breakthrough fatalities among fully vaccinated individuals, but “not all … died of COVID.” She did not say “many, many hospitals” previously “overcounted” COVID-19 deaths.

“Per the CDC, there are nearly twice as many vaccine-related deaths so far in 2021 (1,755) than all the vaccine deaths this past decade (994).”

PolitiFact rated this: False

PolitiFact says: Anyone can report “adverse events” to a vaccine — as in possible side effects — to the CDC's VAERS system. The reports are not verified and do not indicate whether an adverse event is linked to or caused by a vaccine.
