Are COVID-19 shots set to contribute to the 'decimation of the world's population'?
The claim is one of several presented without credible evidence during a video interview with Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, a German microbiologist.
In the interview, posted online, he also alleges that the COVID-19 pandemic is "fake" and that COVID-19 vaccines are killing people. Those are recycled claims that have been debunked before by Lead Stories and others, including medical experts.
Bhakdi tells people to not get the vaccine, especially subsequent shots or boosters. He says: "Don't get a third or fourth or fifth because, if you do that, you are going to contribute to the decimation of the world's population."
Medical experts believe the exact opposite is true. COVID-19 vaccines are seen as one of the best hopes of quashing the pandemic, according to the CDC.
COVID-19 has killed more than 3.1 million people worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Research Center.
