💉 Chinese social media users recirculate false claim about 'US Supreme Court ruling on Covid vaccines'

The false posts and the American Media Group article conflate the Covid-19 vaccine with a"pathogen" and say it is actually"a microbe or virus that was killed or attenuated"."None of the authorized Covid-19 vaccines in the United States contain the live virus that causes Covid-19," the site states.

The US has approved two mRNA vaccines for use in the country -- from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna -- and the CDC has clarified those jabs"work differently than other types of vaccines, but they still trigger an immune response inside your body". The federal health agency states that while mRNA vaccines are new, research and development on it has been underway for decades.

"The mRNA vaccines do not contain any live virus. Instead, they work by teaching our cells to make a harmless piece of a 'spike protein,' which is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19. "After making the protein piece, cells display it on their surface. Our immune system then recognizes that it does not belong there and responds to get rid of it. When an immune response begins, antibodies are produced, creating the same response that happens in a natural infection," the CDC explains.The claim that the US Supreme Court"cancelled universal vaccination" is also false.that are similar or related to the claim.
