Pfizer BNT162b2 adverse events as of February 28, 2021

The data for this article is taken from the Pfizer document, 5.3.6 CUMULATIVE ANALYSIS OF POST-AUTHORIZATION ADVERSE EVENT REPORTS OF PF-07302048 (BNT162B2) RECEIVED THROUGH 28-FEB-2021. The pdf link is embedded in the title.

In it are the adverse events that are listed in The Complete List of the Pfizer Adverse Events of Special Interest that Pfizer would monitor, government health agencies, and the population vaccinated. If you know someone who had an adverse event after COVID shots, their case should be reported for documentation.

General Overview:

It is estimated that approximately 126,212,580 doses of BNT162b2 were shipped worldwide from the receipt of the first temporary authorization for emergency supply on December 1, 2020, through February 28, 2021.

Cumulatively, through February 28, 2021, there were 42,086 case reports (25,379 medically confirmed and 16,707 non-medically confirmed) containing 158,893 events.

Here is a direct quote from page 6 of the report. Emphasis added.

Due to the large numbers of spontaneous adverse event reports received for the product, the Marketing Authorisation Holder has prioritised the processing of serious cases, in order to meet expedited regulatory reporting timelines and ensure these reports are available for signal detection and evaluation activity.

Pfizer has also taken a multiple actions to help alleviate the large increase of adverse event reports. This includes significant technology enhancements, and process and workflow solutions, as well as increasing the number of data entry and case processing colleagues. To date, Pfizer has onboarded approximately 600 additional fulltime employees (FTEs). More are joining each month with an expected total of more than 1,800 additional resources by the end of June 2021.

Most cases (34,762) were received from the United States (13,739), United Kingdom (13,404), Italy (2,578), Germany (1913), France (1506), Portugal (866), and Spain (756); the remaining 7,324 were distributed among 56 other countries.

The number of relevant cases in this table is highest among the 18 to 64 age groups. This is consistent with the age groups with the highest excess deaths reported by an insurance CEO in Indiana life insurance CEO says deaths are up 40% among people ages 18-64.

The graph below shows the Total Number of BNT162b2 Adverse Events by System Organ Classes and Event Seriousness. I rotated the original graph to the right to make the organ systems easier to read.

The most common is general disorders. To me, that means undiagnosed and does not necessarily mean that the adverse event is not serious. Example: A person may complain of fatigue and palpitations which fall under general disorders. However, if further testing was done, it could have uncovered myocarditis.

Likewise, a report of headache may turn out to be a cerebral venous sinus thrombosis   if an MRI or a CT scan of the head was done. 

In the table below, MedDRA stands for Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. MedDRA standardizes the verbiage for reporting adverse events. PT means Preferred Term and SOC stands for System Organ Class. AERP is the Adverse Event Report Program

The following Adverse Events of Special Interest are from Table 7 of the Pfizer 5.3.6 Report. These cases already happened to people injected with the Pfizer shot.

There were two items that I highlighted for emphasis. The number of fatal cases and the latest end of the range of onset. The purpose is to show that people can die from adverse events and to show that the adverse events can happen several days to weeks after the shots.

Parting thoughts

Keep in mind that the adverse events that you have just read are from fourteen months ago. As of March 25, 2022, there are 1,205,753 adverse events and 26,396 deaths in VAERS.

Any significant medical event that happens to someone who has COVID shots should be reported to VAERS. That is one way of exposing the risk of the shots. The complications can happen days or weeks after the injections.

In the discussion part of the report, it says,

The data do not reveal any novel safety concerns or risks requiring label changes and support a favorable benefit risk profile of to the BNT162b2 vaccine.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
Review of the available data for this cumulative Post Marketing experience, confirms a favorable benefit: risk balance for BNT162b2.

Do you agree? I don’t.
