Right now, and for months to come, all eyes are on the COVID vaccine rollout, the biggest mass immunization effort in US history. <\/span>Amid exhaustive vaccine coverage, unsettling headlines are bound to pop up. Should you just ignore them and trust public health officials to fill us in as needed? Sure, that’s one option. But making sure you’re reading the news the right way can help too. Scary health information often loses its panic-inducing power if you evaluate it properly. Here are some tips to help you brave your news feed without losing sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A reminder before reading: The COVID-19 vaccines are effective and safe<\/h3>\n

Before diving into news articles or social posts about the COVID vaccines, it\u2019s important to understand that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are among the most effective vaccines ever created \u2014 both are about 95 percent effective at preventing COVID-19 overall, and closer to 100 percent at preventing severe COVID symptoms. According to the <\/span>New York Times<\/span><\/i><\/a>, of the 32,000 people who received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine in clinical trials, only one person went on to contract a severe case of COVID. And, at this point, we know COVID isn\u2019t a virus to take lightly.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the vaccines have common, known side effects, like arm soreness and flu-like symptoms, they\u2019re temporary and not harmful, and they <\/span>indicate that the vaccine is working as intended<\/span><\/a>. The vaccines have caused a very small\u00a0 number of allergic reactions, which is why EpiPens should be present during administration. But even this is preferable to a COVID infection, which an EpiPen can\u2019t take care of.<\/span><\/p>\n

For any alarming statistic, consider risk and probability versus benefit<\/h3>\n

As more people around the world receive injections of the vaccine, the chance of adverse reactions increases. That means more articles with headlines like \u201cCOVID Vaccine Causes Death.\u201d \u201cAs more and more people get vaccinated, you will have the greater potential for both finding new very rare adverse events that couldn\u2019t be identified by the vaccine trials, however large they may be,\u201d says Dr. <\/span>Michael Chang<\/span><\/a>, an infectious disease physician at UTHealth in Houston. \u201cFurthermore, with every [medical] intervention, there may be \u201cone-off\u201d-type of adverse events, as well.\u201d But keep in mind that as the number of people who get vaccinated and react normally increases exponentially, the percentage of vaccinations that result in adverse events diminishes significantly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Basically, the probability of having a serious reaction to the vaccine\u00a0is close to zero, even if it\u2019s not exactly zero. Interestingly, <\/span>research has found<\/span><\/a> that people assume something is riskier when the probability of it happening is presented as \u201c1-in-a-given-number,\u201d vs. any number <\/span>besides one<\/span><\/i>. For example, 1-in-1,500,000 might be perceived as more likely than 5-in-7,500,000, even though they both express the same probability.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, the risk of something bad happening from a vaccine shot pales in comparison to the risk of something bad happening from COVID. \u201cWith any medicine, vaccine or treatment, you have to weigh the risk of the intervention versus the risk of holding off, using what is known at the time,\u201d says Dr. <\/span>Paul Hyman<\/span><\/a>, a primary care physician in Brunswick, Maine. \u201cFor most adults, at this moment in time, the risk of holding off on getting vaccinated and possibly getting sick from COVID is much, much greater than the risks of the vaccine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Vet the outlet \u2014 and its motivation<\/h3>\n

This might seem obvious, but: The internet is not entirely reliable. If something seems too good, or too awful, to be true, it probably is. Beware of websites and influencers known to promote conspiracy theories. \u201cWhen you hear a scary story, see if it’s corroborated by other reliable sources,\u201d Chang says. \u201cWith an emphasis on <\/span>reliable<\/span><\/i>.\u201d Apply a healthy dose of skepticism to any Facebook or Twitter post that includes claims that the vaccine is unsafe, ineffective or worse. Consider the source \u2014 if the link goes to a URL that reads something like \u201cvaxx-danger-news.com,\u201d it\u2019s probably not legit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On a related note, remember that responsibly reported stories from credible media outlets can still have alarmist headlines. (Even-handed, low-arousing headlines are a hard sell in digital journalism.) The goal of a headline is to get you to click, not to relay properly contextualized facts. But if the story itself is just as clickbait-y as the headline, move on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Click that link<\/h3>\n

If you’re reading a news article about the results of a health study, look for a link back to the study itself. If the article links back to a press release about the study (as opposed to the original research paper), try to find a different news article on the study that doesn’t merely parrot the press release, ideally with original quotes from multiple experts.<\/p>\n

It’s not that study press releases are likely to be full of errors, but rather that they sometimes exaggerate or over-simplify study findings in an attempt to repackage research for the general public. One 2019 study<\/a> found that it’s very common for medical university press releases to omit information that places research findings in context, such as study limitations. (E.g., if study participants aren’t representative of the general population, that might be a relevant limitation.) And multiple studies have found<\/a> an association between the quality of health and science news inspired by press releases and the quality of the releases themselves.<\/p>\n

We’re still learning about the COVID vaccine; any research on it is going to include important caveats. If an article you read doesn’t have any, be suspicious.<\/p>\n

Correlation is not causation<\/h3>\n

Of course, we’ve all heard this statistics 101 mantra. But it’s critical<\/em> to keep in mind when you’re\u00a0 reading COVID vaccine news.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reports of elderly people in Norway dying after getting the COVID vaccine<\/a> were scary \u2014 especially followed by news that Chinese health officials were asking for additional information from countries that had documented similar deaths. The truth, though tragic, is far less alarming: The 33 Norwegians aged 75 and over died who died following immunization had already been seriously ill<\/a>. Norway also clarified that there was no direct link between their deaths and the vaccine.<\/p>\n

Before jumping to conclusions, remember that an occurrence \u2014 even a horrible one \u2014 isn’t necessarily caused been caused by what preceded it. “There are significant differences between association, correlation and causation,\u201d Chang says. \u201cIt is important to recognize which relationship is being discussed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay informed \u2014 and listen to your doctor<\/h3>\n

Of course a headline about a vaccine-related death is going to catch your attention. Reading the full story may help you put a tragic incident into perspective, but it may also provoke some fears and doubts. If you have questions about the vaccine, talk to your doctor. Members of the medical community may not have all the answers, but they\u2019re here to help. \u201cDuring this pandemic, we have had to make decisions with incomplete information,\u201d Hyman says. \u201cWe have to be OK knowing we did the best we could, and that we will learn more as time goes by.\u201d<\/p>\n
