Pfizer omitted at least one vaccine trial death

Pfizer omitted at least one vaccine trial death

Concerning my risk/benefit estimations, one little thing that was bugging me was that there were apparently no vaccine related deaths in any of the clinical trials. I had no evidence of misreported deaths, although that would not be surprising in view of the criminal track records of companies like Pfizer. And we already found that Pfizer covered up the case of a girl who ended up in a wheelchair with a feeding tube.

Another thing that remained in the back of my mind was a disagreement in the reported number of deaths in Pfizer's placebo group - according to the main text of their publication there were 4 deaths in the placebo group, but according to the supplementary data p.2607 there were 3 (note that there were zero Covid deaths in either group). It was puzzling to me how such a mistake could occur if they had not messed with the data.

Since then, an accusation was made that in Argentina a vaccine death was covered up, but I have no idea how well founded that was (here and here). I had no hard evidence of anything.

But recently, thanks to a FOIA Request as described here,
the FDA was obliged to release a huge pile of documents. Buried inside that pile there's a document called fa-interim-narrative-sensitive.pdf
In that document a death in the vaccination group is recorded that Pfizer failed to mention or even account for in its publication.

I made the following overview, reduced to what I deem data of interest.

Reported deaths in BNT162b2 Pfizer vaccine group
C4591001 1007 10071101 - heart attack after 2 months
C4591001 1162 11621327 - died 3 days after dose 1, probably due to arteriosclerosis
C4591001 1152 11521497 - died in hospital after fainting at home, [edit: within three weeks after vaccination]. RECORDED BY PFIZER AS SUBJECT WITHDRAWAL. UNKNOWN CAUSE OF DEATH. NO AUTOPSY. Wrongly omitted from the published report!

Reported deaths in Placebo group
C4591001 1066 10661350 USA
C4591001 1081 10811194 USA
C4591001 1152 11521085 USA
C4591001 1231 12313972 Argentina. History of hypertension. Hemorrhagic stroke 14 days after Dose 2. No autopsy.

Following Occam's razor, the simplest explanation that I can think of is that the reported Argentina placebo group death was in reality in the vaccine group, and there was a slip-up in the falsification. If so, not one but two deaths were mislabeled.

Now why would Pfizer cover up one or two deaths? It can't be because of the small and rather balanced true numbers. As a matter of fact, the reported numbers in the main text of their published article (4 deaths in placebo group but only 2 in vaccine group, despite zero due to Covid) caught my attention, it was almost suspicious.
The only reason I can think of is that the reporting of any death that was possibly vaccine related but not investigated, could have made approval more difficult or complicated, risking a restricted approval for only the elderly. Billions of dollars were at stake.

This is much worse than the Boeing 737Max scandal, which also involved a government agency. Among other things, the FDA either overlooked or closed their eyes to an unexplained death in the vaccine group of Pfizer's clinical trial. Note that they tried to stall release of the documents by decades, but were forced to deliver.

So, governments were either lying or simply talking BS when assuring the public that all Covid19 vaccines were safe and effective. Of course, we already knew that but now it's a hard fact - the possible unsafety of at least Pfizer's vaccine was already swept under the rug in the clinical trial.

I now reckon with most likely one vaccine related death in Pfizer's vaccine trial. That doesn't really change my estimations but improves consistency.

PS. This blog post is rather short, but meant to serve as coat hanger for adding information about vaccine risk/benefits. In 2023 I hope to write blog posts and articles about other topics.

Addendum 1

I had not paid enough attention to the case of the man who died three days after the shot.

For starters, contrary to the summary by Pfizer which I simply reported, he surely did not die three days after the shot but in less than three days, perhaps within one or two days. And dying from arteriosclerosis was just an uninformed guess.

As Igor Chudov explained on his Substack:

'Read this closely: this man lived alone. He was found dead BY POLICE, because of a welfare check requested by someone. He was found on Day 4 after the shot. He was cold and his skin had lividity. So, a good amount of time passed after his death. Police sent his body to a local medical examiner, who ruled the cause to be “arteriosclerosis”.

Did the examiner, who received a routine dead body to examine, have any idea that the dead subject had an experimental Pfizer shot? Obviously, not. So he ruled the death to be due to “arteriosclerosis”, not thinking that this is any type of a special case deserving a closer look.'

Indeed, from personal experience: someone with Altzheimer's disease and prostate cancer dies, apparently due to Altzheimer's. A doctor is called, he confirms the death and asks what underlying illnesses the diseased had. Then he writes on the death certificate “prostate cancer”.

Pfizer committed a psychological phrasing trick when reporting about the death that “there was no reasonable possibility that the arteriosclerosis was related to the study intervention” (the arteriosclerosis as if it was more than a good guess, and falsely presented as 100% sure cause of death). I fell for that trick.

Addendum 2

The German newspaper Die Welt recently published a revealing article about this.

It phrases suspicion about the patient who died within three days as well as the patient who died 20 days after vaccination from “cardiac arrest”:

'“According to the current state of science, one would assign these two cases to the vaccination,” says Berlin pharmaceutical specialist Susanne Wagner, “especially since the U.S. health authority CDC is currently investigating strokes in vaccinated people and it is known that blood clots after vaccination can cause sudden deaths.”'

And Die Welt found Pfizer fraud in … Buenos Aires, Argentina!

'In one fell swoop, the test management had said goodbye to 53 subjects on August 31, 2020. The test candidates had been ‘unblinded,’ i.e. they were informed about their vaccination status, a process that the Pfizer study protocol expressly provides for only ‘in emergencies.’ But there is nothing about it in the approval study. In protocol documents, which are available to Die Welt, and which are actually not intended for the public, those responsible got caught up in contradictions”: three different documents contain three different explanations!

But there is more. The following is of particular interest here as it concerns the very “placebo group” death that I identified as possibly suspect:

'[The deceased under ID 12313972] came, shortly after the start of the study, with a heart attack to the Aleman hospital and died. But the death was concealed from the ANMAT inspectors. Also in the protocol of the health authority, which is available to Die Welt, is expressly stated that there were no deaths, neither in the vaccine group nor in the placebo group. Only in the approval study does he reappear.'

Die Welt cites the conjecture that Polack (Buenos Aires study director as well as first author of the approval study) quite obviously concealed this death from the health authorities, and then asks the question:
'But what reason was there to conceal a dead man if he allegedly could not have received the vaccine?'

Thus, the unsubstantiated cover-up claim of a Pfizer trial death in Buenos Aires has now been confirmed by Die Welt.

Further, my suspicion that this might well be the same death that was allegedly in the placebo group, has now also been confirmed by Die Welt - with Die Welt making the same logical inference.
