Pfizer Safety

Does the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination do more harm than good? No, that's not true: The video by the Canadian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA) in the Rumble post saying so recycles many previously debunked claims about the COVID vaccine. The Pfizer shot (BNT162b2) received full approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on August 23, 2021, for people 16 and…

Are the injections against COVID-19 "deadly experimental shots" and not vaccines? No, that's not true: Medical science classifies all three injected preventatives as vaccines and former President Donald Trump, whose Operation Warp Speed set records in vaccine development, has repeatedly urged the vaccine-hesitant to get the shot as he did, calling it a vaccine. The three vaccines in use in…

Is the COVID-19 "vaccination death rate" discovered in FDA data 2.905%? No, that's not true: The numbers used are not from the Food and Drug Administration, they're from an analysis of adverse event reports prepared by Pfizer for the FDA that were made public as part of a lawsuit. The claim misrepresents numbers published in the report to erroneously come…

Did the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) admit that COVID-19 vaccines cause more instances of carditis, or heart inflammation, than the agency has previously stated? No, that's not true: Such a claim pulls numbers from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Conditions reported to VAERS after a vaccination do not automatically prove a causal relationship between the…

Do vaccines pose a seven times higher risk of death than COVID for people in their 20s? No, that's not true: The authors of a Japanese medical bulletin provide no clear evidence of deaths due to the vaccine to establish a ratio with deaths because of the virus. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study also says "vaccinated…

Do records from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) subpoenaed by an attorney show over 158,000 adverse "events" in the first 2½ months of COVID-19 shot trials? Yes, but that number is misleading. While "158,000 adverse events" were noted in Pfizer documents released as part of a lawsuit, that doesn't mean there were 158,000 serious effects in people who received…

Did Dr. Anthony Fauci admit that COVID-19 vaccines may make people worse? No, that's not true: His comments were taken out of context. He spoke in March 2020, when the vaccines were still in development. The nation's top infectious disease expert was talking about a concern that some scientists had at that time: the theoretical possibility, with any vaccine candidates,…

Did the CEO of BioNTech, Dr. Ugur Sahin, refuse to "take the jab"? No, that's not true: The post where this claim was made features an outdated video and makes up a safety concern Sahin did not express in public statements nor even in the video used for this post. Sahin was not yet eligible to receive the vaccine when…

Did Pfizer under-report the number of deaths in the 40,000-person clinical trial of the company's COVID-19 vaccine? No, that's not true: The claim ignores the fact that, over the course of an ongoing clinical trial for a new vaccine, numbers change when data are updated for multiple reporting deadlines. The claim is based in part on an early and informal…

Does a Pfizer document show thousands of people around the world died from the company's COVID-19 vaccine the first month it was available? No, that's not true: The analysis of adverse event (AE) reports prepared by the pharmaceutical company doesn't determine cause and effect, only that more than a thousand vaccinated people died in the first three months after the…
