A new report widely shared on social media alleges that in 2021 and 2022, COVID-19 vaccines caused more than 300,000 excess deaths in the U.S. But medical experts said the report lacks evidence to support that claim.
Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, agreed.
Dr. Steven Woolf, director emeritus at the Virginia Commonwealth University Center on Society and Health, said the report was wrong to speculate that because of high levels of COVID-19 immunity in the U.S., the excess deaths were caused by the vaccine. The nation did worse than other countries at getting its population vaccinated, he said, leaving a"large pool of unvaccinated individuals susceptible to COVID-19.
