The figures used in the blog post are a distorted interpretation of data from the yellow card scheme of the UK medicines regulator, the MHRA. Finally, a post that echoes another familiar theme of pandemic-related misinformation - the totally fabricated link between 5G electro-magnetic radiation and coronavirus. Viruses do this in different ways, including while inside the bodies of people who have already been vaccinated but who are still developing an immune response.

The World Health Organization says that as more people get vaccinated it expects "virus circulation to decrease, which will then lead to fewer mutations. Read more from Reality Check. The unfounded claims about vaccines and fertility.

The recent iteration of the copy and paste postings are incorrectly sourced to the Russian health authorities this time. These types of mutations might be happening even now at a low level, says Dr Julian Tang, a virologist at the University of Leicester, "but this is less of a concern relatively, compared to getting more people vaccinated against the virus strain that is still circulating widely, globally.

We requested a comment from Mr Bossche, who referred us to his website where he has previously responded to questions about his work.

Posts spreading unverified theories about the pandemic continue to spread on social media platforms. These theories simultaneously referred to radiation poisoning and claimed that Covid is caused by a bacteria and not a virus - which is also incorrect. This may drive the virus to evolve to escape the effects of such immunity. But he says: "The benefits of mass vaccination to curb transmission As such, according to the experts we spoke to, there's no evidence that vaccines will lead to more dangerous variants that would merit the drastic change in strategy being suggested by Mr Bossche.

There's no evidence of this happening. Miscarriage is sadly very common, and among women who know they're pregnant, about one in eight pregnancies will end in miscarriage, according to the NHS. Identifying miscarriages that happen after a vaccine allows the MHRA to assess whether the number of miscarriages in the vaccinated population is any higher than usual. Additional reporting by Olga Robinson and Alistair Coleman.

In a response to the Reuters news agency about the claims, the MHRA said: "There is no pattern to suggest an elevated risk of miscarriage related to exposure to the Covid vaccines in pregnancy.

The videos and photos claim that they contain ethylene oxide, a known carcinogen. Russian doctors have performed post-mortem examinations on Covid patients and discovered proof that Covid "does not exist as a virus", claim the posts on secure messaging app Telegram which say the people examined died of "electromagnetic radiation". We've examined the latest wave of false information covering subjects including Covid testing kits and vaccines.

Lateral flow tests for coronavirus are becoming widespread in workplaces and schools, but viral Facebook posts are incorrectly claiming that they are a cancer risk. The Department of Health and Social Care told us that while the chemical is used in gaseous form to sterilise test swabs, the amounts used are well within safety limits and are "rigorously tested and are safe to use on a regular basis".

Covid-19: Debunking the latest wave of medical misinformation

There are risks associated with mutations that evolve in largely vaccinated populations, says Dr Ravi Gupta, a microbiologist at University of Cambridge who has been researching new variants. The US Centers for Disease Control says that while acute exposure to the chemical - many times greater than any residual chemical that might be left in a test swab - can increase the risk of cancer, these tiny amounts are not harmful.

Who can get another Covid jab this spring? In fact, up to half of all US medical devices are sterilised with ethylene oxide, which is an effective method that doesn't damage equipment. The scheme allows health professionals and the public to report medical incidents or suspected side effects of medicines, so that their quality and safety can be monitored and very rare side effects picked up.

The packaging for the NHS test kits says "sterilised in ethylene oxide", but this only tells part of the story. Further stages in the sterilisation process remove the gas almost entirely. Data showing a miscarriage occurred after a vaccine does not mean that the two events are linked. The claim has been circulating on Facebook in Austria and Germany since at least late February and a shortened version of the message was shared in big anti-vaccine and QAnon conspiracy channels on Telegram.

There is no evidence that Covid vaccines can increase the risk of miscarriage. Send us your questions. It doesn't take into account the fact that millions more people have been vaccinated since January - which would lead to an expected increase in reports to the yellow card scheme. Scientists are studying whether the vaccines still work against new strains of the virus and from where such mutations come.

Many referred to statements published by Geert Vanden Bossche, a Belgian veterinarian and vaccine researcher. Image source, Getty Images. He says he supports vaccines, but in a series of letters warns about the dangers of Covid vaccinations, which he says risk creating new variants of coronavirus that may "result in a global catastrophe without equal". No, 5G does not spread coronavirus. A recent cause taken up by anti-vaccination activists concerns the spread of new coronavirus variants.

A near identical post - claiming to cite Italian health authorities and doctors - went viral in spring last year. All viruses mutate as they make copies of themselves to spread and thrive.
