Quick Take
An article published on a media website claims that the British journalist Piers Morgan has developed Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS) due to COVID-19 vaccine. We fact-checked and found the claim to be False.
The Claim
An article published on The People’s Voice website claims that Piers Morgan revealed he has developed VAIDS due to repeated mRNA shots and boosters.
Fact Check
Has Piers Morgan developed VAIDS due to COVID-19 vaccines?
No. There were no verified official reports or credible sources indicating that Piers Morgan developed Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS) due to COVID-19 vaccine.
Piers Morgan is a British broadcaster and journalist who has been known for expressing skepticism about certain aspects of COVID-19 measures, including vaccine distribution and mandates. However, any claims or reports suggesting that he developed VAIDS or similar complications because of COVID-19 vaccines should be approached with caution and verified through credible sources and official statements.
It is essential to rely on credible medical information from health authorities or reputable sources when assessing the safety and efficacy of vaccines rather than relying on individual anecdotes or unverified claims. In context with this story, we discovered that The People’s Voice is the claimant website. This website is known to post articles that are sometimes wrong or hard to understand. For example, they said the Dutch were killing people without their permission, but we showed that was not true. Another time, they claimed Pope Francis supported euthanasia, but that was also incorrect. We checked more of their stories and noticed that many of them did not have any evidence. The People’s Voice used to be named Newspunch, and they have been sharing fake stories for a while. They often spread things that cannot be trusted and are not true.
Besides this, the claimed article has mentioned, acknowledged, and included links to reports from Infowars. Again, InfoWars TV is a media website described as an American far-right conspiracy theory and fake news site by Wikipedia.
Is VAIDS a real sickness?
No, VAIDS is not a real sickness that doctors know about. It is a made-up term to claim that COVID-19 vaccines cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The given reason is that COVID-19 vaccines make the immune system attack the body, causing the illness. But this is not true. No study confirms that COVID-19 vaccines cause AIDS. However, evidence suggests that these vaccines might trigger the body’s defense system in a few people, causing illnesses like Guillain-Barré syndrome, myocarditis, pericarditis, and others. Scientists need to do more research to understand this better.
