Of the deaths studied, "a total of 240 deaths (73.9%) were independently adjudicated as directly due to or significantly contributed to by COVID-19 vaccination."
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.
"Of the 72 vaccine doses now mandated essentially mandated—they recommended, but they're really mandated for American children—none of them, not one, has ever been subject to a pre-licensing placement-controlled trial," Kennedy's lawsuit against HHS confirms.
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.
