| | + | The first tranche of documents from a [[Freedom of Information Act]] (FOIA) request to the [[Food and Drug Administration]] (FDA) reveal that, as of February 2021, when Pfizer’s shot was being rolled out worldwide on an emergency basis,<ref>https://uncoverdc.com/2021/12/13/first-cache-of-secret-pfizer-docs-show-fda-knew-of-death-risk/</ref> the drugmaker had compiled more than 42,000 case reports detailing nearly 160,000 adverse reactions to the jab.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/pfizer-document-shows-160000-adverse-reactions-to-vax-in-initial-months-of-rollout/</ref> |

| | + | More than 25,000 nervous system disorders were reported, along with 17,000 musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders and 14,000 gastrointestinal disorders. A range of different autoimmune conditions were reported, along with some peculiar maladies, including 270 “spontaneous abortions,” and incidences of herpes, epilepsy, heart failure and strokes, among thousands of others. |

| | + | These side effects were previously known, and have all been logged on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s [[Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System]] (VAERS) database, which as of Sunday has tracked 3,300 deaths following vaccination with Pfizer’s vaccine, a figure broadly in keeping with the company’s own data. |

| | + | Critics say that some of these deaths cannot be conclusively linked to vaccination, while others argue that the true number of deaths and adverse effects is underreported. |
