AAP FactCheck has recently assessed online claims regarding the COVID-19 and MMR vaccines. 

According to the FactCheck team, a Facebook post claiming that myocarditis from COVID-19 vaccines will lead to millions of deaths is based on a misrepresentation of the Cleaveland Clinic’s information published about viral myocarditis. 

Read AAP FactCheck’s full article for a detailed breakdown of why the claim is false.

AAP FactCheck has also deemed that claims a baby in the US developed measles from the MMR vaccine are misleading. Health authorities say there is no evidence that the vaccine caused measles in this case.
