John Campbell, King of Antivaxxers? He’s doing well financially, thank you very much!

John Bye @_johnbye

Former nurse John Campbell’s descent into covid crankery has proven very profitable. Company accounts for the year to June 2022 show he had over £1m cash in hand, with net assets of £800,000, up from just £150,000 a year earlier!

Most of this cash presumably came from John Campbell’s YouTube channel, which went from being cited by UNICEF as a good example to counter online misinformation in 2020, to increasingly spreading misinformation itself from 2021 onwards.

Fake claims about the Pfizer documents

..

Pfizer’s confidential document shows adverse events reported following vaccination; it doesn’t demonstrate that the vaccine caused the events or is unsafe – Health Feedback

Pfizer’s document released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration contains information about adverse events that occurred following vaccination. Adverse events are health problems that occur after vaccination but aren’t necessarily caused by the vaccine. Therefore, these reports don’t establish a causal relationship between the events and the vaccine. These reports alone thus are insufficient to demonstrate that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine caused any new side effects or is unsafe.

..

Fact Check-Pages of suspected side effects released about Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine ‘may not have any causal relationship’ to the jab, company says | Reuters

Nine pages of adverse event reports from Pfizer-BioNTech in relation to its COVID-19 vaccine are not confirmed adverse events to the shot. They “may not have any causal relationship” to each other, the pharmaceutical company has told Reuters. The statement comes in response to claims online that the list is definitive.

Some people on social media have since concluded that every entry is definitively caused by Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

The nine pages of “adverse events of special interest” are not confirmed side effects from Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

..

Do the recent 80k pages of Pfizer documents released really show vaccine efficacy was only 12%?

So the argument made by Sonia Elijah suggesting the “real VE” of the Pfizer vaccines is 12% is an old one dating back to January 2021, and an erroneous one. The fact this claim is spreading virally around social media without confirmation or justification, and with very few questioning where it came from or whether it was a legitimate claim, shows how easy it is for unsubstantiated and false claims to quickly spread on social media, where they find a large set of receptive ears ready to believe and promote the claim without any documentation or justification, primarily because it feeds the narrative they believe and are promoting.

The newly released Pfizer documents do not show that their COVID-19 vaccine is unsafe

Claim:

I’m sure it’ll be all over the mainstream news that Pfizer has now declared their COVID vaccines unsafe for pregnancy and breastfeeding after the government coerced and mandated thousands of pregnant women into having one.

Claim Publisher and Date:Twitter on 2022-05-04


Truthfulness: False

..

Fact check: False claims that stem from the 80,000 page Pfizer release

The claim: 80,000 pages of Pfizer data show the vaccine has a 12% efficacy rate, harms fetuses

But the claim is wrong on multiple fronts.

Why a Judge Ordered FDA to Release Covid-19 Vaccine Data Pronto

In his ruling, the judge recognized that the release of this data is of paramount public importance and should be one of the FDA’s highest priorities. He quoted James Madison as saying a “popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy” and John F. Kennedy as explaining that a “nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

This is an example of fake claims about the Pfizer documents.

Pfizer lost court case and required to disclose all the serious side effects.

*Congratulations to those who were not vaccinated! **Your persistence is absolutely wise and correct! ** FDA loses case! Pfizer forced to disclose vaccine side effects data! 9 pages of side effects!

The whole world was stunned.

Pfizer’s confidential document shows adverse events reported following vaccination; it doesn’t demonstrate that the vaccine caused the events or is unsafe – Health Feedback

..

Safety surveillance data in the Pfizer’s document shows harmful effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine

VERDICT

SOURCE: John Campbell, Liz Wheeler, Social media users, Children’s Health Defense, Facebook, Instagram, The Liz Wheeler Show, YouTube, 3 Mar. 2022  

DETAILS

Incorrect: Pfizer’s safety document doesn’t list known side effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine but adverse events that occurred following vaccination, regardless of what caused them.
Inadequate support: The list of adverse events attributed to the vaccine are based on reports that, on their own, don’t demonstrate that the vaccine caused the adverse event and therefore can’t be used as evidence that the vaccine is unsafe.

KEY TAKE AWAY

Pfizer’s document released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration contains information about adverse events that occurred following vaccination. Adverse events are health problems that occur after vaccination but aren’t necessarily caused by the vaccine. Therefore, these reports don’t establish a causal relationship between the events and the vaccine. These reports alone thus are insufficient to demonstrate that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine caused any new side effects or is unsafe.

Fact Check-Pages of suspected side effects released about Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine ‘may not have any causal relationship’ to the jab, company says | Reuters

..

Nine pages of adverse event reports from Pfizer-BioNTech in relation to its COVID-19 vaccine are not confirmed adverse events to the shot. They “may not have any causal relationship” to each other, the pharmaceutical company has told Reuters. The statement comes in response to claims online that the list is definitive.
.

Some people on social media have since concluded that every entry is definitively caused by Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

One post, which includes screenshots of all nine pages (here) and has been shared hundreds of times, reads: “Amongst these newly released pages are 9 PAGES OF ADVERSE SIDE-EFFECTS! The list includes auto-immune conditions, multitudinous heart issues, hemorrhaging, kidney disease, many syndromes relayed to other viruses, and even anti-sperm antibodies! Safe and effective, right…?”
.

However, the list was compiled using voluntary reports through various national reporting systems, such as the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the UK’s Yellow Card reporting scheme and the EU’s EudraVigilance database.

Reuters has produced numerous fact checks on these systems (VAERS: here and here; Yellow Card: here and here); EudraVigilance here and here) – all of which explain that reports of potential side-effects are not definitively linked to vaccines.

A Pfizer spokesperson told Reuters that reported side effects “may not have any causal relationship to the vaccine”, adding that all reports are taken “very seriously”.

“Rather, the event may be due to an underlying disease or some other factor such as past medical history or concomitant medication or the AEs (adverse events) may be coincidental,” they said.
.

VERDICT

Missing context. The nine pages of “adverse events of special interest” are not confirmed side effects from Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

Do the recent 80k pages of Pfizer documents released really show vaccine efficacy was only 12%?

..

So Sonia Elijah is making the same specious argument Peter Doshi did in his editorial in British Medical Journal in January 2021, which I refuted in detail in my blog post that same month. It seems she is making the mistake of not realizing that “suspected but unconfirmed cases” in the protocol refers to individuals receiving PCR tests because that had a symptom from a large pre-specifed list that triggered a PCR test, but for which the PCR test was negative. The authors of the FDA briefing document choosing the term “suspected but unconfirmed cases” for those with negative PCR tests was a poor choice that has contributed to this confusion and led many to misinterpret what it means.

So the argument made by Sonia Elijah suggesting the “real VE” of the Pfizer vaccines is 12% is an old one dating back to January 2021, and an erroneous one. The fact this claim is spreading virally around social media without confirmation or justification, and with very few questioning where it came from or whether it was a legitimate claim, shows how easy it is for unsubstantiated and false claims to quickly spread on social media, where they find a large set of receptive ears ready to believe and promote the claim without any documentation or justification, primarily because it feeds the narrative they believe and are promoting.

The newly released Pfizer documents do not show that their COVID-19 vaccine is unsafe

..

6-May-2022 2:05 PM EDT, by Newswise

Fact Check By: Craig Jones, Newswise

Truthfulness: False

Claim:

I’m sure it’ll be all over the mainstream news that Pfizer has now declared their COVID vaccines unsafe for pregnancy and breastfeeding after the government coerced and mandated thousands of pregnant women into having one.

Claim Publisher and Date:Twitter on 2022-05-04

.

Many social media users are sharing screenshots of the documentation, particularly one document which states that “COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 is not recommended during pregnancy” and: “It is unknown whether the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 is excreted in human milk” (examples here, here and here). The screenshot many users are sharing, however, shows information from Great Britain’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in 2020, and not documentation from Pfizer (link to the original MHRA document can be read here). MHRA has since updated its advice on vaccinating those who are pregnant and breastfeeding. Health authorities in Britain and the United States recommend COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant and breastfeeding women. The latest version can be read here.

An MHRA spokesperson told Reuters via email that “this was our assessment at the time of approval for the vaccine”.

The spokesperson added: “Since then new data which has come to light (both non-clinical and post-authorisation ‘real world’ data) supports the updated advice on vaccinating those who are pregnant and breastfeeding.

“Over 104,000 pregnant people have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine in England and Scotland and no concerns of the safety of the vaccines have been raised.”

The limited evidence available at the time on COVID-19 vaccine safety during pregnancy does not constitute evidence that COVID-19 vaccination has had a negative effect on pregnancy.

Another popular claim alleges that the new documents prove that the vaccine is only 12% effective at protecting from COVID-19, not the 95% that Pfizer initially reported (examples here and here). None of those making the claim, however, link to any actual documentation. The original allegation can be traced to a Substack user known as Sonia Elijah. And despite tweets presenting the alleged finding as new, the Substack article itself was published on April 3rd, weeks before these documents were shared

The vast majority of the documents released so far have generally not been relevant to the conversation around the safety and effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine. The truth is that many of the claims under the #pfizerdocuments trend have already been debunked, despite the emphasis by conspiracy theorists that these issues have suddenly come to light by the release of these documents. You can read more about these debunked conspiracies when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccines here, here and here.
