Flawed Analysis of New Zealand Data Doesn’t Show COVID-19 Vaccines Killed Millions - FactCheck.org
Data from around the world support the general safety of the COVID-19 vaccines. Some people online, however, incorrectly claim that illegally obtained data from New Zealand show the vaccines have killed 13 million people worldwide. Experts say the analysis is bogus.

China’s mRNA Vaccine Industry: A Latecomer's Prospects
Bridge Consulting examines the opportunities and challenges ahead for China’s mRNA vaccine industry in the post-COVID era. Having eschewed foreign-made mRNA products from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna during the peak of the pandemic in the hope of securing domestic alternatives, China and its sizeable biopharma industry now face a challenging path ahead to catch up to…

Safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy
Safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy
Pregnant people with COVID-19 are at increased risk of severe illness and death compared with non-pregnant females of reproductive age (aged 15–49 years).1 Additionally, COVID-19 during pregnancy is associated with increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm birth and stillbirth.1 When mRNA COVID-19 vaccines first became available in December, 2020, safety data in pregnancy were limited because pregnant people were excluded from pre-authorisation clinical trials.2 Lack of data and safety concerns contributed to initially low uptake among pregnant people, which continues to be lower than uptake among non-pregnant females of reproductive age.

Fact Check: Most cases of myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccines are not irreversible
Fact Check: Most cases of myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccines are not irreversible
Medical experts on the basis of evidence so far disagree with claims made on social media that myocarditis following the COVID-19 vaccine is irreversible. Social media claims that “over the years,” many children diagnosed with myocarditis will die are unfounded, representatives from the Myocarditis Foundation say.

RFK Jr. resurrects an old antivax half-truth about “saline placebos” in randomized controlled trials of vaccines | Science-Based Medicine
RFK Jr. has resurrected the misleading claim that childhood vaccines have never been tested in randomized controlled trials with a saline placebo controls.
Almost none of the vaccines on the list that weren’t licensed based on RCTs using saline controls are not first generation vaccines, which means that it would have been unethical to test them against a saline control.
The bottom line is that, if you trace back the history of the vaccines developed for a disease like, say, measles, you will eventually find the RCT testing the first effective vaccine against it and that vaccine will have had a placebo control. It might not have been saline (although in most cases decades ago it was), but it will have been a placebo that was “inert” with respect to preventing that disease. Also, clinical trial standards have evolved over the last 70 years. If a vaccine was approved 60+ years ago using methodology that today we might consider inadequate, that does not change the calculus when it comes to testing new vaccines against the same disease. Such vaccines can’t ethically be tested against saline placebo.
