COVID-19 vaccines have not led to 6,000% increase in patient deaths, as post suggests

These figures are based on a federally maintained database on adverse reactions to vaccinations that collects information from almost anyone who wants to report it. But the database keepers have stressed the numbers alone are unverified and require case by case study to be interpreted.

There is no evidence linking these deaths to vaccines. The CDC says the database “has not detected patterns in cause of death that would indicate a safety problem with COVID-19 vaccines.”

PolitiFact has previously debunked similar misinterpretations of reported vaccination reactions data.

An Instagram post shares a startling headline on the reportedly sharp increase in the number of vaccine-related deaths during the coronavirus pandemic.

"6000% Increase in Reported Vaccine Deaths 1st Quarter 2021 Compared to 1st Quarter 2020," reads the screenshot of an article published on April 1 from a website called Truth Unmuted.

The article is based on a misrepresentation of information from a federally maintained database of suspected adverse reactions to vaccinations, including the COVID-19 vaccines. The database cautions users the numbers reported should not be taken as fact since they have not been verified through independent scientific study.

Millions of people across the United States have been given a COVID-19 vaccination and not enough research has been done to show a definitive link between the vaccines and any of the reported adverse reactions.

We rate this claim False.

COVID-19 is caused by a virus and autopsies do not violate WHO policies, as posts claim

• COVID-19 is caused by a virus, not by bacteria.

• The World Health Organization does not prohibit autopsies on people who have died because of COVID-19.

By Madison Czopek

More than a year after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, posts circulating on social media continue to purport that the public’s understanding of the illness — and of the virus that causes it — is deeply flawed.

One Instagram post shares a headline that says COVID-19 is not actually caused by a virus at all.

"Russia is the first country in the world to dissect Covid-19 corpses, and after a thorough investigation, it was determined that Covid does NOT exist AS A VIRUS," reads the screenshot of a story headline.

The photo caption goes on to say that the Russian doctors the article refers to are "violating" a World Health Organization "law that does not allow autopsies of people" who have died of COVID-19.

The post also claims a bacteria, rather than a virus, causes the disease.

"After a period of scientific discovery, it cannot be assumed that it is a virus, but rather bacteria that cause death," the post says, before reiterating, "the patient dies because of these bacteria."

COVID-19 is caused by a virus, not by bacteria. The WHO does not prohibit autopsies on people who have died of COVID-19. The organization actually provided guidelines for how to safely perform autopsies on COVID-19 patients.

We rate this claim Pants on Fire!

The COVID-19 vaccine is not an ‘operating system’ run by Bill Gates

• The COVID-19 vaccines help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. They are not part of a Bill Gates-run plot to program humans.

By Daniel Funke

The technology behind two coronavirus vaccines approved for emergency use in the U.S. is actually an operating system aimed at programming humans. The programmer? Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates.

That’s not the plot of a science fiction movie — it’s a bogus conspiracy theory in a video seen more than 48,000 times on Facebook.

"The new so-called experimental vaccine, what’s new about it? The real new and amazing thing about it is that it’s not even a vaccine — mRNA is not a vaccine," a man says in the March 31 video, which includes other anti-vaccine claims. "The CEO of Moderna boasts about the fact that the mRNA vaccine is actually an operating system, such as you would put in your computer."

"And of course who’s the great programmer who has bestowed upon himself the title of the grand programmer of humanity? Well it’s Bill Gates himself."

The instructions contained in mRNA vaccines degrade quickly once they’re inside immune cells. We’ve previously debunked claims that mRNA vaccines alter people’s DNA and control them. Conspiracy theories accusing Gates of a nefarious coronavirus vaccination scheme have circulated since last spring.

The Facebook video is inaccurate and ridiculous. We rate it Pants on Fire!
