The claim: COVID-19 vaccines don't slow the virus' spread
As the delta variant floods hospitals nationwide with COVID-19 patients, a video of an Indiana school board meeting has reached millions of people on social media – and it's filled with vaccine misinformation.
COVID-19 vaccines help prevent virus' spread
More than 50% of Americans have received the coronavirus vaccines in full. They aren't 100% effective at preventing infection, but data from clinical trials and the vaccine rollout shows they help slow the virus' transmission.
Our rating: False
Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that the coronavirus vaccines don't slow the virus' spread. The vaccines aren't 100% protective against infection, but data from clinical trials and the vaccine rollout shows they help prevent the spread of the coronavirus by reducing disease.
Our fact-check sources
Indianapolis Star, Aug. 11, An Indiana doctor's COVID comments went viral. They were also full of misinformation.
Facemasks ineffective
Dr. Stock starts off by claiming that the COVID-19 virus is far too small for masks to even slow them down.
Animals reservoirs
Animals reservoirs are a problem for the flu virus and other such respiratory viruses. However, I’m not aware of a significant animal reservoir for COVID-19. It’s a real and serious possibility, however, since SARS-CoV-2 has been transmitted to various animals and there have been cases of animal to human transmission ( Link ).
Antibody-Dependent Viral Enhancement
Dr. Stock is seriously mistaken, however, about antibody-dependent viral enhancement. The mRNA vaccines were specifically designed to avoid this particular problem.
More vaccinated rather than unvaccinated people getting infected
But what about Dr. Stock’s claims regarding the evidence that even those who are vaccinated still get infected by COVID-19? – particularly the delta variant ? As an example of this, consider a series of large public events that occurred over several days in Cape Cod, Massachusetts (from July 3–17).
Vitamin D
Also, while I’m a big fan of vitamin D, it’s just not enough to deal effectively with a virus as infectious as the Delta Variant of COVID-19. Sure, various studies have shown that those who are deficient in Vitamin D can gain substantial advantages when it comes to resisting various viral infections if they start improving their Vitamin D levels.
Ivermectin
As far as Ivermectin is concerned, also promoted by Dr. Stock, I really wished it worked, but multiple studies have not been able to demonstrate more than modest benefits against COVID-19 – so far. ( Link, Link)
Those previously infected gain nothing from vaccines
Stock’s claim that those who have previously recovered from a COVID-19 infection get no additional benefit now that they’ve gained natural immunity, from vaccines, actually seems to be supported by the most resent scientific research coming out of Israel.
