The World Health Organisation (WHO) has admitted Covid-19 vaccines can cause multiple sclerosis (MS).

Rating

Evaluation: Misleading. The claim was based on the inclusion of an abstract in the WHO Covid-19 Research Database that summarises a study that found a potential link to coronavirus vaccines in two cases of MS. While the research found a potential link, it did not prove the disease was caused by the vaccine, according to both the WHO and MS experts. One of the study authors added that while the research showed a link in these two cases, their data showed a Covid-19 infection carried a higher risk of triggering MS than the vaccine did.
