evidence: The safety of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna is supported by the rigorous clinical trials run prior to their release and numerous studies conducted since. Hundreds of millions of people have been vaccinated in the U.S., many with multiple doses, and serious side effects are rare. [...] But an article — written by misinformation spreaders who oppose COVID-19 vaccination — that claims to have reviewed the original trials and "other relevant studies" largely ignores this body of evidence. Instead, the review, which calls for a "global moratorium" on the mRNA vaccines, cites multiple flawed or criticized studies — many of which we’ve written about before — to falsely claim the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have caused "extensive, well-documented" serious adverse events and have killed nearly 14 times as many people as they saved. [...] One author of the review — as well as other social media users — are also using the fact that the paper was published as proof that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe.
