A recently published peer-reviewed study in the journal Open Forum Infectious Diseases has confirmed that the risk of contracting COVID-19 is higher among those who have received more COVID vaccines.
Both COVID vaccines and the virus itself are "plausible triggers" of the disease, but the study authors specify that vaccines were "more frequently" linked to the ulcers than the virus.
The study also found that the effectiveness of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines was only 29% during the omicron BA.4 and BA.5 variant phases, 20% during the BQ-dominant phase, and 4% during the XBB-dominant phase.
Under-reporting of injuries following vaccination "should be considered when delivering information to the community and in public health decision-making," the study authors write.
The FDA has "repeatedly stated that effectiveness against transmission remains unproven," the trio write, noting that the agency’s website maintains: "the scientific community does not yet know if Comirnaty will reduce such transmission."
“They can say that it’s designed to feed the world, but it’s feeding the world a non-natural product and it’s a product that is going to require more energy to produce, and don’t tell me it’s sustainable," NCBA President Todd Wilkinson.
