Pogoste napačne predstavitve in napačna dojemanja

Pogosto napačno razumljene številke (odstotki, tveganja, verjetnosti)

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Napačno razumljena številkaPojasnilo ali razlaga
„Cepljenje proti COVID-19 zmanjša tveganje le za 1 %.“
→https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/interpreting-vaccine-efficacy-numbers-2021021721914		To je napačno razumevanje razlike med relativnim in absolutnim tveganjem. Cepiva pri večini ljudi zmanjšajo tveganje za hudo obliko bolezni za več kot 90 %.
»Naravna imunost je vedno boljša.«
→https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7104e1.htm		Okužba prinaša večje tveganje. Imunost, ki jo povzroči cepivo, je varnejša.
»VAERS dokazuje, da so cepiva nevarna.«
→https://vaers.hhs.gov/data.html		Poročila niso preverjena in ne dokazujejo vzročne zveze. VAERS je orodje za zgodnje odkrivanje znakov, ne pa dokaz za škodljivost.

Pogosta napačna prepričanja

ZmotaPopravek
„Cepiva povzročajo avtizem.“
→https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/autism.html		Številne študije ne kažejo nobene povezave. Izvirna študija je bila umaknjena.
„Cepiva vsebujejo škodljive toksine.“
→https://www.chop.edu/centers-programs/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-ingredients		Sestavine so v uporabljenih količinah varne in imajo svoj namen (npr. konzerviranje).
„Cepljenje ni potrebno, če so cepljeni drugi.“
→https://www.immunize.org/catg.d/p2061.pdf		Imunost skupnosti se zruši, če se preveč ljudi odloči, da se ne bo cepilo.

Pogoste napačne informacije

Napačne informacijePopravek ali pojasnilo
»mRNA cepiva spreminjajo vašo DNK.«
→https://www.genome.gov/coronavirus/mRNA		mRNA ne vstopi v jedro celice in ne more spremeniti DNK.
»Cepiva proti COVID-19 povzročajo neplodnost.«
→https://www.bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n1643		Za to trditev ni nobenih dokazov.
»Cepiva so bila razvita v naglici in niso bila testirana.«
→https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03326-6		Odobrena cepiva so bila podvržena obsežnim kliničnim preskušanjem in stalnemu spremljanju varnosti.
