GOP senator claims 'everybody' in meeting knows someone who died from COVID vaccine

Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) on Tuesday claimed that babies "get too many" vaccinations now, and that everyone involved in his meeting with HHS Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. knows someone who died from the COVID vaccine.

Heartland Signal reported via X: After meeting with RFK Jr., Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) says babies get too many vaccines outside of TB, polio and smallpox and says "everybody in this group has lost somebody ... possibly from the [COVID] vaccine that were perfectly healthy."

The Alabama senator added, "We need to find out that it actually works. I think probably everybody in this group has lost somebody that they either know, are friends with or family, possibly from the vaccine, that were perfectly healthy."

The National Institute of Health's website states that "More than eight billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered globally so far and 44.29% of people are fully vaccinated."

Out of those who've received the vaccine, the website continues, "There have been 55 cases of death after COVID-19 vaccination reported and a causal relationship has been excluded in 17 cases."
