VERDICT
The benefits of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines for children outweigh the low risks, unlike what Robert Malone claimed

VERDICT
Claim that previously infected people don’t transmit COVID-19 is unsupported, originates from misinterpretation of CDC’s FOIA response
CLAIM
Previously infected individuals who get reinfected don’t transmit the virus to others; previous infection provides “better protection” than vaccination and this immunity “does not wane”
