Fake News Buster: Vaccines have only helped to save lives – Bangalore Mirror

THE CLAIMS1 After there were reports of two persons developing allergies after taking the vaccine in the UK, there was a fear among people that anyone with any allergy cannot take the vaccine. 2 Some people also put up on their social media pages that the body can fight the virus much better than the vaccine. SO, WHATS THE TRUTH?1 Dr Faheem Yonous, who has been dispelling covid myths on his Twitter feed regularly, writes that the only absolute contraindication to covid vaccine is a severe allergy/anaphylaxis to these mRNA vaccines. People with any other allergy (drug, food, environment etc) have a path to the vaccine. 2 The World Health Organization (WHO) has long maintained that the development of a vaccine would be crucial to fighting the virus. WHOs figures show that vaccines which protect against diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza and measles save the lives of up to three million people each year.
