Misbar’s Analysis

Misbar has investigated the claim and found it misleading. The FDA did not indicate that deaths are linked to vaccination. It also confirmed the vaccine's safety.

The document mentioned in the articles does not indicate deaths are linked to the vaccine. It also confirmed the favorable benefits of the vaccine.

Another multinational research had shown no fatalities among vaccine recipients during the trial period and mentioned: “The safety profile of BNT162b2 was characterized by short-term, mild-to-moderate pain at the injection site, fatigue, and headache. The incidence of serious adverse events was low and was similar in the vaccine and placebo groups.”

We also did not find such information related to Pfizer deaths and fatalities during the trial period on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) platform or on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s system.
