Un estudio muestra que la miocarditis causada por la vacuna de ARNm contra la COVID-19 conlleva un grave riesgo de muerte.

Publisher’s rating: Las afirmaciones se basan en un estudio defectuoso. Aunque las vacunas contra el COVID-19 pueden aumentar un poco el riesgo de miocarditis y un problema específico de la sangre, el COVID-19 tiene un riesgo mucho mayor de causar estas y otras afecciones. Los estudios realizados hasta la fecha indican que la vacunación contra el COVID-19 es más beneficiosa que perjudicial.

新型コロナワクチン接種開始後38万人が超過死亡

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The review says the claim of more than 380,000 excess deaths differs substantially from the National Institute of Infectious Diseases’ estimates for May 2021 through October 2023. It also cautions that excess-death estimates do not identify causes and do not establish that deaths were caused by vaccination.
