The study, conducted by researchers from Stanford, UCLA, and the University of Maryland, analyzed the vaccines’ randomized clinical trials for serious adverse events, including myocarditis/pericarditis, kidney or liver injury, respiratory distress, hyperglycemia, pancreatitis, and more.
“Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were associated with an excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest of 10.1 and 15.1 per 10,000 vaccinated over placebo baselines of 17.6 and 42.2” respectively, the authors found. “The Pfizer trial exhibited a 36% higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group; risk difference 18.0 per 10,000 vaccinated” while the “Moderna trial exhibited a 6% higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group,” for a combined “16% higher risk of serious adverse events in mRNA vaccine recipients: risk difference.”
The authors caution that their findings should be taken with several
