DISINFO: Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is not safe
SUMMARY
Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine against coronavirus is based on mRNA technology which is new and not well tested. Although many Western media present the vaccine as a breakthrough in the fight against the pandemic, more deaths have occurred to people who received this specific vaccine than others and this fact is hidden.
RESPONSE
This is part of a pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign aiming to discredit Western vaccines.
It has been already documented how pro-Kremlin media have been consistently trying to discredit especially the Prizer/BioNTech vaccine. One of the main features of this discrediting strategy is to create a causal link between the new mRNA technology and deaths among people having received the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.
See other examples in our database, such as claims that the West is waging a war against Sputnik V and Russian vaccines; that Pfizer directors sold their shares alarmed over vaccine’s deaths; that 29 people died in Norway after receiving the Pfizer vaccine; that the Moderna vaccine shouldn’t be trusted because nothing is known about the company; that the US vaccine genetically modifies humans; that the WHO and Microsoft sabotaged the Russian vaccine; or that the West criticises the Sputnik V because it can’t accept Russia’s primacy, and because its pharmaceutical companies will lose billions of dollars.
