| FALSE | Claim by Alex Berenson: COVID-19 vaccination is associated with all-cause excess mortality
Health Feedback rating: Unsupported (The claim’s argument relies on a correlation between vaccine coverage and excess mortality in the later months of 2022. However, previous months didn’t show this correlation. In fact, if we look at the entire time period since vaccination started in January 2021, it shows that countries with a higher vaccine coverage experienced less excess mortality.) |
