Pfizer & Moderna's own trials show COVID-19 vaccines put more in hospital than keep out?

Just a few months ago we reported on a study that indicated that the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines may kill as many people as they save, noting that we may in future find that they do kill more, especially as there is likely little more to be gained from the vaccines at this point in the pandemic while the damage from unknown adverse effects is potentially limitless.

Continuing in a similar vein, a pre-print article [now published in Vaccine] which includes BMJ (one of the world’s top medical journals) editor Peter Doshi as a co-author indicates that the trial data from Pfizer and Moderna (which was used for authorisation and eventually the vaccine mandates) reveals that their COVID-19 vaccines may put more people in hospital than they keep out. Some choice passages (emphasis ours):

- “Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were associated with an increased risk of serious adverse events of special interest, with an absolute risk increase of 10.1 and 15.1 per 10,000 vaccinated over placebo baselines of 17.6 and 42.2 (95% CI -0.4 to 20.6 and -3.6 to 33.8), respectively. Combined, the mRNA vaccines were associated with an absolute risk increase of serious adverse events of special interest of 12.5 per 10,000 (95% CI 2.1 to 22.9). The excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest surpassed the risk reduction for COVID-19 hospitalization relative to the placebo group in both Pfizer and Moderna trials (2.3 and 6.4 per 10,000 participants, respectively).”

- “The excess risk of serious adverse events found in our study points to the need for formal harm-benefit analyses, particularly those that are stratified according to risk of serious COVID-19 outcomes such as hospitalization or death.”

- “These results are compatible with a recent preprint analysis of COVID-19 vaccine trials by Benn et al., which found no evidence of a reduction in overall mortality in the mRNA vaccine trials based on data from the later, March 2021 BLA (Biologics License Application) timepoints that underpinned subsequent regulatory approval (31 deaths in the vaccine arms versus 30 events in the placebo arms; RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.63 to 1.71). Our analysis as well as Benn et al. point to the need for formal harm-benefit analyses especially in individuals at low risk of COVID-19 hospitalization or death.”

- “Limitations of our study include that Pfizer’s SAE table did not include SAEs occurring past 1 month after dose 2. This reporting threshold may have led to an undercounting of serious AESIs in the Pfizer study, and for both studies, the limited follow up time prevented an analysis of harm-benefit over a longer time period. It should also be recognized that all SAEs in our analysis are those that met the regulatory definition of a serious adverse event. However, many adverse event types which a patient may themselves judge as serious may not meet this regulatory threshold.”

- “A systematic review and meta-analysis using individual participant data should be undertaken to address questions of harm-benefit in various demographic subgroups. Full transparency of the COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial data is needed to properly evaluate these questions. Unfortunately, well over a year after widespread use of COVID-19 vaccines, participant level data remain inaccessible.” Source.

Okay then.

Note: Some questions you may like to ask. Is this why our leaders wanted the data hidden for 75 years? Why is none of this science reported on in the mainstream media? Why are our politicians not rolling back COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the face of increasing evidence that the vaccines are not as safe and effective as once thought? Why is your doctor not aware of these medical revelations? When will we stop discriminating against those who, in what increasingly looks like a prudent move, decided against taking the vaccines? If COVID-19 vaccines kill as many as people as they save from COVID-19, should COVID-19 vaccination be encouraged and even forced on the population? If COVID-19 vaccines injure as many people as they save from injury now, will the situation eventually worsen as there is little to no benefit from the vaccines going forward (partly due to more benign variants and partly due to the vaccines’ waning effectiveness), and with currently unknown adverse effects effectively coming to the fore? In other words, as time goes on, will we find that more health problems are caused by the vaccines than were prevented [future post, see here]?
