The Vaccine Safety Signal the Media Still Won’t Read
A peer‑reviewed study published in Vaccine (Sept 2022) re‑analyzed Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID‑19 trial data and found excess serious adverse events—10.1 per 10,000 for Pfizer and 15.1 per 10,000 for Moderna—yielding harm‑to‑benefit ratios of roughly 4.4 : 1 and 2.4 : 1 respectively. The paper’s conclusions were misrepresented on a BBC Radio 4 program, where a guest claimed the authors were told not to use the findings, a claim the authors refute with publicly available peer‑review correspondence. The author also addresses four methodological critiques, emphasizing that the analysis used publicly released trial tables, a pre‑specified adverse‑event list, and event‑level counts, and that the lack of individual‑participant data hampers deeper assessment. The piece calls for full data transparency and cautions against media oversimplification of vaccine safety signals.
