“COVID-19 vaccine has a "reverse" effect and exposes people to infection.”
What Vera Files found
Vaccination against COVID-19 does not expose people to infection. This is an oft-repeated false claim amid the pandemic debunked by health experts around the world. In fact, several health authorities say that getting the jab protects against infection and prevents severe disease and hospitalization. Although the vaccine is not 100% effective, health experts emphasize that immunity from vaccination is more robust than natural infection.
