Mask-wearing helps to reduce the spread of COVID-19; social media posts misinterpreted Annals of Internal Medicine study on N95 respirators
Type | Blog Post |
Abstract | Although mask-wearing doesn’t prevent people from catching COVID-19 with 100% effectiveness, multiple peer-reviewed studies have shown that mask-wearing can and does meaningfully reduce the risk of transmitting the virus. Furthermore, mask-wearing isn’t associated with serious long-term health problems, whereas COVID-19 is. Consequently, mask-wearing is a low-risk intervention that offers important public health benefits, particularly during a pandemic caused by a respiratory virus. |

‘Died Suddenly’ Pushes Bogus Depopulation Theory
Type | Blog Post |
Author | Saranac Hale Spencer |
Abstract | What appear to be ordinary postmortem blood clots are held up in a viral online video as supposed evidence that there's a depopulation plot underway using COVID-19 vaccination to kill people. There’s no evidence for this theory. The hourlong video also repeats numerous falsehoods that have previously been debunked. |

Findings from researchers in Basel didn’t show an 800-fold increase in myocarditis in vaccinated people compared to unvaccinated individuals
Type | Blog Post |
Abstract | Multiple scientific studies show that COVID-19 vaccines effectively reduce the risk of severe disease and death. Observations from a Swiss team using a more sensitive detection protocols revealed that there are cases of mild myocarditis that previously went undetected owing to the absence of severe symptoms. The risk of myocarditis requiring medical attention is higher during COVID-19 than after vaccination with mRNA vaccines. |

The film "Died Suddenly" rehashes debunked claims and conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 vaccines
Type | Blog Post |
Abstract | Data from vaccine safety monitoring programs indicate that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and not associated with any increase in mortality or sudden deaths. While certain COVID-19 vaccines have been associated with a slightly increased risk of blood clotting and heart inflammation, these conditions are more likely to result from COVID-19 itself than from vaccination. |

How You Could Have Predicted Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine, and Other Lessons in Media Signaling
Type | Blog Post |
Abstract | In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. Three months earlier, Russia made very bold changes to the state-funded publication Russia Today. Those changes reflected a clear shift that presaged the invasion. While perfectly predicting actions of states is impossible without hindsight, alongside other examples, this nonetheless demonstrates the importance of media signaling to the understanding of states actions and intentions. |

People can sue manufacturers for injury following routine childhood vaccines, contrary to a claim by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Type | Blog Post |
Abstract | In the U.S., the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a no-fault program that compensates people who are found to have been injured by certain vaccinations. It doesn’t prohibit people from suing vaccine manufacturers, but people can only pursue legal action against manufacturers after exhausting their options through the VICP. Both authorized and approved COVID-19 vaccines are pandemic countermeasures under the PREP Act declaration. Therefore, they aren’t covered by the VICP, but by another program known as the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program. |
