  • Fact Check: Pfizer Document Does NOT List Thousands Of Side Effects From COVID Vaccine -- It's Required List Of Potential Side Effects

    Fact Check

    Does a Pfizer document list thousands of side effects from its COVID-19 vaccine? No, that's not true: The nine pages of potential side effects are part of a government-required adverse event (AE) report prepared by the pharmaceutical company.

    Are COVID-19 vaccines to blame for "urgent warnings" about blood clots from Pfizer and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)? No, that's not true: Both the CDC and Pfizer have promoted such campaigns since 2015. Blood clots are not uncommon, even for the healthiest athletes.

  • Fact Check: COVID Vaccines Are NOT Experimental Gene Technology -- They ARE Fully Authorized

    Fact Check

    Are COVID-19 vaccines experimental gene technology that is still under development? No, that's not true: The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the United Kingdom says none of the vaccines authorized in the U.K. -- AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Moderna -- are experimental. All have gone through a "thorough review of safety, quality and efficacy information from clinical trials"…

    Does Pfizer admit in confidential documents that its COVID-19 vaccine may cause vaccine-associated enhanced disease (VAED)? No, that's not true: The document, called 5.3.6 CUMULATIVE ANALYSIS OF POST-AUTHORIZATION ADVERSE EVENT REPORTS OF PF-07302048 (BNT162B2) RECEIVED THROUGH 28-FEB-2021, lists VAED under "Important Potential Risk," but also notes, "No post-authorized AE [adverse event] reports have been identified as cases of VAED ...,…

    Fact Check

    Do government data reveal that more than 946,000 people suffered injuries or death from COVID-19 vaccines?
