It is essential to have reliable information about the vaccines that protect us from COVID-19 and to avoid the spread of myths that result in distrust of immunization products that have been created and carefully studied by thousands of researchers. Here are some of the most common:<\/p>\n
MYTH: <\/strong><\/span>The components included in the COVID-19 vaccines are dangerous.<\/strong><\/p>\n REALITY:<\/strong><\/span> Virtually all the components included in the COVID-19 vaccines are found in many foods such as fats, sugars and salts. These do not contain preservatives, fabrics, antibiotics, food proteins, latex or metals. The exact components vary by manufacturer.<\/p>\n MYTH:<\/span> COVID-19 vaccines cause variants.<\/strong><\/p>\n REALITY:<\/strong><\/span> The variants of COVID-19 are the result of constant modification through a constant natural process of mutation of the virus itself. Vaccines do not create or cause variants of the virus and help prevent its appearance.<\/p>\n MYTH:<\/span> The COVID-19 vaccines contain microchips.<\/strong><\/p>\n REALITY:<\/strong><\/span> Vaccines are created to fight disease and are not microchipped with them. Vaccines work by stimulating the production of antibodies by the immune system.<\/p>\n MYTH:<\/span> Getting a COVID-19 vaccine can magnetize you.<\/strong><\/p>\n REALITY:<\/strong><\/span> The COVID-19 vaccines do not contain ingredients that can produce an electromagnetic field in the injected area or in any other part of the body. In addition, as already mentioned, the vaccines do not contain any type of metal.<\/p>\n MYTH: <\/span>COVID-19 vaccines can alter DNA.<\/strong><\/p>\n REALITY:<\/strong> <\/span>In the case of messenger RNA vaccines, the genetic material provided never enters the nucleus of the cell, where the DNA is housed.<\/p>\n MYTH:<\/span> It is better to get immunized through infection than with the COVID-19 vaccine.<\/strong><\/p>\n REALITY:<\/strong><\/span> Being infected with COVID-19 can lead to serious illness and even death, meaning that it is impossible to predict the level of symptoms. It is safer and more reliable to build immunity through vaccination against COVID-19.<\/p>\n MYTH: <\/span>The COVID-19 vaccine can make a person sick with COVID-19.<\/strong><\/p>\n REALITY:<\/strong><\/span> No vaccine contains the virus that causes COVID-19, so you cannot spread it. Vaccines teach the immune system to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CZuiv77rYFu\/<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Es fundamental contar con informaci\u00f3n segura sobre las vacunas que nos protegen del COVID-19 y evitar la difusi\u00f3n de mitos […]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":9850,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[221],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-coronavirus"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.medicina.uanl.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mitos-y-realidades-de-vacunas.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.medicina.uanl.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.medicina.uanl.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.medicina.uanl.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.medicina.uanl.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.medicina.uanl.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9849"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.medicina.uanl.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9849\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9861,"href":"https:\/\/www.medicina.uanl.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9849\/revisions\/9861"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.medicina.uanl.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.medicina.uanl.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.medicina.uanl.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.medicina.uanl.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
