Misbar’s Analysis

Misbar concluded that the claims made in the video have no basis in fact. The video was posted by Texas Right To Know, a website founded by Sheila Hemphill that specializes in anti-vaccination content. It also features Dr. Sherri Tenpenny who was named one of the top pandemic profiteers by the CCDH.

The first false assertion made in the video is that vaccinated individuals can transmit the vaccine to unvaccinated individuals leading to extreme menstrual bleeding and blood clots. However, the mRNA and spike protein created from the vaccine degrade quickly making this type of transmission impossible. 

According to Reuters, in order for transmission to take place, the vaccine would have to be live. This isn’t the case with the COVID jab. This claim has already been debunked by Misbar in a previous post.

Another false statement made in the video is that the FDA has reported that the vaccine has killed thousands of people. This claim is based on information provided by the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The FDA requires that any death that takes place after vaccination is reported to VAERS regardless of whether or not the vaccine was the cause. 

The CDC states the deaths reported to VAERS have “not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines.” The only exception is with the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, where a causal relationship has been established between the vaccine and rare blood clots. These clots have led to at least three deaths out of more than 8 million administered doses.

The final claim made in the video is that the vaccine can lead to testicular swelling in men and cause erectile dysfunction. While it’s true that the COVID virus has been linked to erectile dysfunction and testicular pain, there is no evidence that the vaccine has these side effects. In the WHO’s list of COVID vaccine side effects, testicular swelling and erectile dysfunction are not among them.
