You know what they say: Fake news is the second battle that we have to fight together with this pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!--more-->\n<p>On that note, here are 5 top vaccine myths that have been going around since day one. Perhaps you might have believed some of these. But no worries, we\u2019ll explain to you why these are said to be myths in the first place.<\/p>\n<h2>Myth #1: Vaccines contain chips that can track\/control you<\/h2>\n<p>Late last year, several edited videos stated that the vaccines had microchips in them. One of these videos can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jennifermpearse\/videos\/vb.1627130469\/10222330191916805\/?type=2&amp;theater\">here<\/a>. If you think about it, it might not seem completely unbelievable, given how far technology has advanced.<\/p>\n<p>But first of all, <strong>a microchip cannot fit into a syringe<\/strong>, as explained in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/coronavirus-vaccine-pfizer-moderna-doesnt-contain-a-microchip-2020-12\">article by Business Insider<\/a>. To summarize the article, the so-called microchip would need to be broken into absolutely tiny pieces for it to fit. Which essentially means that there can\u2019t be any functioning chips in your vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, what your Covid-19 vaccine is made up of is just some genetic material of the virus (so that the body can identify it in the future), salts, fats, sucrose (sugar) and some other ingredients which are perfectly safe. You can read the full list <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/coronavirus-vaccine-pfizer-moderna-doesnt-contain-a-microchip-2020-12\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Myth #2: Vaccines can alter your DNA<\/h2>\n<p>Again, this is just scientifically impossible. But to properly back this up, we referred to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/facts.html\">CDC\u2019s website<\/a>\u2014that is, the United States of America\u2019s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n<p>In it, they explained that any vaccine cannot ever alter the human DNA. When a vaccine is injected in your body, it sends a message to your cells to fight the virus. It does not, and <strong>cannot, enter the nucleus of your cell<\/strong>, which is where your DNA lies.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/assets_comparehero\/covid-19-vaccine-myths-debunked-1.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"covid-19-vaccine-myths-debunked-1\"  style=\"width: 676px;\"><\/p>\n<h2>Myth #3: Vaccines can give you Covid-19<\/h2>\n<p>Like we mentioned earlier, your vaccine would contain a small amount of the genetic material of the virus. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gavi.org\/vaccineswork\/what-are-whole-virus-vaccines-and-how-could-they-be-used-against-covid-19\">According to Gavi<\/a>, a global Vaccine Alliance, there are two main types:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Contains a live virus &#8211; it is a weakened live virus so it cannot infect the person<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Contains an inactivated virus &#8211; the whole genetic material of the virus has been destroyed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see, it\u2019s impossible to get infected through a vaccine because the <strong>virus strain would have a different makeup<\/strong> from that which actually infects people.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of having a part of the virus is so that the body will make a \u2018memory\u2019 of it and attack it in the future if you were to actually get infected with Covid-19.<\/p>\n<h2>Myth #4: Some vaccines are better than others<\/h2>\n<p>From the time the vaccines have been given, many have stated that they would like only a particular brand of vaccine. This is mostly because they feel some vaccines have higher efficacy rates than others.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K3odScka55A\">video by Vox<\/a> explained that <strong>efficacy rates don\u2019t really mean much<\/strong>, and they are completely different from how efficient a vaccine is. Sure, these vaccines may all have been made with different technologies. Pfizer, for example, has the mRNA technology, while AstraZeneca is known as a viral vector vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of how they were made, <strong>all vaccines have the exact same job<\/strong>: to help your body build immunity against the virus.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/assets_comparehero\/covid-19-vaccine-myths-debunked-2.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"covid-19-vaccine-myths-debunked-2\"  style=\"width: 674px;\"><\/p>\n<h2>Myth #5: Vaccines are unsafe<\/h2>\n<p>For those who are against taking the vaccine in the first place, their biggest fear is that the vaccine will either make them very sick or even kill them.<\/p>\n<p>While this may not be an unreasonable fear again, it\u2019s good to remember that <strong>any medication would have side effects\u2014<\/strong>even normal paracetamol that all of us have taken. However, it\u2019s usually those who have serious allergies\/underlying conditions who might be affected.<\/p>\n<p>If you have allergies and certain conditions, you can meet your doctor for a checkup. But besides that, you could get <strong>extra protection through insurance coverage<\/strong>. An insurance policy can\u2019t prevent side effects, of course, but it will be really helpful if something untoward happens. Because at least, you will have some financial backup.<\/p>\n<p>While doing our research, we came across <strong>Zurich Insurance\u2019s Z-eCoVac Protect policy<\/strong>. We found out that this policy is specially tailored for those who want to bolster themselves against the <strong>aftermath of vaccine side effects<\/strong>. Under this policy, Zurich Insurance will give you coverage for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong><strong>Covid-19 Post Vaccination Inconvenience Benefit &#8211; RM1,500<br><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Covid-19 Post Vaccination Death &#8211; RM8,000<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But that\u2019s not all, actually. While this policy caters for post vaccination side effects or death, it can also <strong>cover you for up to RM8,000 if you meet with an accidental death\/accidental disablement<\/strong> that has nothing to do with Covid-19 or the vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you\u2019ll need to fulfil some criteria such as that you must be Malaysian\/foreigner with a legal permit to live in the country and you must be fit to take the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>For more detailed T&amp;C and information on this plan, you can check out their page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zurich.com.my\/en\/insurance-products\/protection\/for-my-safety\/z-ecovac-protect\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/assets_comparehero\/covid-19-vaccine-myths-debunked-3.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"covid-19-vaccine-myths-debunked-3\"  style=\"width: 676px;\"><\/p>\n<p>You might have come across other myths besides those stated here.
