# Claim table — McCullough autopsy-review Reel

| Claim | Evidence label |
|---|---|
| “Largest autopsy study” found 73.9% of deaths were caused by mRNA COVID vaccines. | The 73.9% figure appears in the Hulscher/Alexander/McCullough review, which says 240 of 325 autopsy cases were adjudicated as directly due to or significantly contributed to by COVID-19 vaccination. But this was a selected set of post-vaccination autopsy reports, not a population death-rate study, and causality assessment is disputed. |
| The paper is settled science. | Disputed. The Lancet-linked preprint was removed with a notice that conclusions were not supported by methodology; a ScienceDirect/Forensic Science International version is marked withdrawn; the paper was later republished in Science, Public Health Policy, and the Law, a venue critics identify as outside mainstream consensus. |
| Autopsy is valuable evidence. | Supported in principle. Autopsy and pathology can be important for causality questions. The issue is whether this review’s case selection, adjudication process and causal inference justify the broad social-media conclusion. |
| COVID vaccines caused fatal clots/myocarditis in some rare cases. | Supported in official safety systems as rare safety signals. Health Canada lists confirmed signals including thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome and myocarditis/pericarditis; CDC/FDA pages also monitor myocarditis/pericarditis and other adverse events. |
| Reports after vaccination prove vaccine causation. | Not supported. CDC/VAERS and Health Canada emphasize that adverse-event reports after vaccination are not necessarily caused by the vaccine; causality requires medical review and supporting evidence. |
| The FDA found risk remains up to 15 years after injection. | Not verified as stated. Search results tied this to claims fact-checkers say misread unrelated FDA guidance. FDA has required updated myocarditis/pericarditis warnings and long-term follow-up studies for post-vaccine myocarditis, but that is not the same as proving 15 years of broad blood-clot/death risk for all recipients. |
| mRNA/spike/heavy metals are now inside all of us. | Overbroad/unproven as stated. The Reel’s caption does not provide evidence that “heavy metals” are inside everyone because of vaccines, and that claim was not substantiated by official vaccine safety pages in this pass. |
| Natural detox solutions are proven/censored. | Not established. The post appears to market an “Ultimate Detox Guide.” PBC should not endorse detox claims; people with symptoms or vaccine-injury concerns should seek qualified medical care and report adverse events through official systems. |
| Billions worldwide will suffer consequences. | Speculative and unsupported by the records gathered. Official systems acknowledge rare serious events and ongoing monitoring, but do not support this scale of harm as an established finding. |
