新型コロナのmRNAワクチンで死亡リスクが74%上昇?

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

A post claimed that a French study found a 74% increase in death risk associated with COVID-19 vaccination. The review says the cited study instead found that vaccinated people had a 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19 and concluded that four-year all-cause mortality risk was not increased. It therefore identifies the post’s interpretation as the opposite of the study’s findings.

医療従事者はマイナ保険証にしない人が大多数?

Publisher’s rating: 根拠不明

The review found no data supporting the claim that most medical workers do not register for the My Number health insurance card. A survey of doctors on the medical-professionals-only site m3.com found that more than half of respondents had registered their cards as health insurance cards. However, the review cautioned that the survey does not represent all medical workers.
