A social media post claims strep A never used to be fatal and suggests that recent deaths in children from the infection are actually caused by vaccines. Strep A has always caused death, and current fatality rates are similar to recent years.
showed there were fewer strep A infections in areas where more children received the nasal flu vaccine, and no difference in scarlet fever or iGAS numbers.: “Millions of children and adolescents have received this vaccine as part of the national flu immunisation programme and an increased risk of Strep A infections has not been identified as a safety concern.
“The MHRA closely monitors the safety of all vaccines used in the UK, including [the nasal flu vaccine] and the MHRA’s position remains that the benefits associated with this vaccine continue to outweigh any risks.”The post also seems to make a similar claim about Covid-19 vaccines being harmful, calling them “unproperly tested gene therapy shots” that are to blame “for all the injuries, harm & deaths that are happening all over the World”.
