A video circulating on Facebook claims people who received COVID-19 vaccines will die by 2030 after experiencing blurred vision, fatigue, and breathing difficulties. The post has drawn more than 30,000 reactions, 2,900 comments, and 44,000 shares. The video presents itself as a news report from an organization called PH News Today.
It attributes the 2030 deadline to an unnamed health organization.
Studies on mortality A 2021 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study found no increased mortality risk for vaccine recipients. A 2023 analysis of 178 countries linked higher vaccination coverage to lower all-cause excess mortality. A 2025 French cohort study of adults aged 18 to 59 reported vaccinated individuals had a 29% lower risk of death from any cause within six months after vaccination.
Video origin and context Detection tools flagged the video as AI-generated, with one tool assigning an 80% probability. The World Health Organization has issued no such warning and states that five years of safety data show an acceptable profile across age groups.
The claim spread as COVID-19 cases in Quezon City rose from 23 between May 21 and June 10 to 84 between June 11 and July 1, 2026. City health officials said the increase is not a cause for alarm and that recorded cases remain mild.
