Original Note:
Dr. McCullough has a history of spreading misinformation. He falsely claims that COVID deaths are “highly inflated” while misusing VAERS data to vastly inflate COVID deaths. Adverse events, including deaths, are rare. Vaccines are tested before approval. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/11/scicheck-covid-19-vaccines-save-lives-are-not-more-lethal-than-covid-19/ https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.34K78ZW https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/dec/23/peter-mccollough/benefits-covid-19-vaccines-far-outweigh-risks-teen/ https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-cdc-covid-vaccine-deaths-910677348223 https://healthfeedback.org/authors/peter-mccullough/ https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/peter-mccullough-makes-multiple-false-misleading-claims-covid19-vaccine-safety-efficacy-podcast/ https://www.factcheck.org/person/peter-mccullough/
