Evidence (2023-08-02): FULL CLAIM: "FDA confirms graphene oxide is in the mRNA 'Covid' fake vaccines after being forced to publish confidential Pfizer documents by order of the US Federal Court" [...] One of the released documents was a Pfizer document titled "Structural and Biophysical Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein (P2 S) as a Vaccine Antigen." The article claimed that this document revealed (on page 7) that reduced graphene oxide was used to manufacture the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine because it is "needed as a base for the lipid nanoparticles" that enclose the mRNA of the vaccine. [...] The document released by Pfizer doesn’t state that graphene oxide is an ingredient of its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Instead, it described a microscopy study used to assess the structure of the vaccine spike protein. The technique involved uses graphene oxide grids to stably arrange the samples for microscopy. This document doesn’t mention any use of graphene oxide during the manufacture of the vaccine, and no credible ingredient lists of the vaccine show graphene oxide as an ingredient.

Claim: Pfizer documents confirm that mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations contain graphene oxide (Richard Willett, 2023-02-08)
Evidence (2021-03-31): Messenger RNA (mRNA) is having a moment. This year, hundreds of millions of people will receive shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines for COVID-19. The crucial ingredient in each injection is mRNA, short-lived strands of genetic material that prompt our cells to start making SARS-CoV-2 proteins, which in turn help our immune systems develop antibodies that prevent future infections. Thanks to decades of scientific perseverance, billions of dollars of investment in the technology, and previous work on coronaviruses, the vaccine makers were able to design their vaccines and prove their safety and efficacy in under a year. [...] LNPs used in the COVID-19 vaccines contain just four ingredients: ionizable lipids whose positive charges bind to the negatively charged backbone of mRNA, pegylated lipids that help stabilize the particle, and phospholipids and cholesterol molecules that contribute to the particle’s structure. Thousands of these four components encapsulate mRNA, shield it from destructive enzymes, and shuttle it into cells, where the mRNA is unloaded and used to make proteins. Although the concept seems simple, perfecting it was far from straightforward.

Claim: Pfizer documents confirm that mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations contain graphene oxide (Richard Willett, 2023-02-08)
Evidence (2023-08-02): COVID-19 vaccines were rigorously tested in clinical trials before they were permitted to be used in the general public. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine doesn’t contain graphene oxide nor is graphene listed on any credible ingredient lists of any COVID-19 vaccine provided by public health authorities and regulators. However, some have misrepresented a Pfizer document to claim otherwise. In fact, the document describes a microscopy study that was part of the structural characterization of the vaccine spike protein, in which scientists used graphene oxide as a support material for sample processing and visualization. Misrepresents source: The claim is based on a screenshot of a Pfizer document that omits important context. In fact, the FDA-released Pfizer document didn’t "confirm" that COVID-19 vaccines contain graphene oxide. The document discusses research procedures used in testing the vaccine, rather than the manufacture of the actual vaccine. [...] The document released by Pfizer doesn’t state that graphene oxide is an ingredient of its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Instead, it described a microscopy study used to assess the structure of the vaccine spike protein. The technique involved uses graphene oxide grids to stably arrange the samples for microscopy.

Claim: “COVID Vaccines Were Never Safe for Pregnant Women, Pfizer’s own data show” (David Bell, 2023-10-05)
Evidence (2023-10-05): Safety monitoring and clinical data continue to show that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are safe for pregnant women and protect them from pregnancy complications due to COVID-19. No evidence from animal or clinical studies suggests that these vaccines cause or increase fertility problems or negative pregnancy outcomes.
Claim: “COVID Vaccines Were Never Safe for Pregnant Women, Pfizer’s own data show” (David Bell, 2023-10-05)
Evidence (2022-07-11): COVID vaccines have been contentious ever since they were developed in response to the coronavirus pandemic, though the evidence is that they are safe and effective. One of the concerns has been whether the vaccines were safe for pregnant women. A recent review looked at the evidence available from North America, Israel and Europe. The Conversation Africa’s Ozayr Patel asked vaccine specialist Marta C. Nunes to sum up the findings. [...] Current COVID-19 vaccines were not tested in pregnant women in the initial clinical trials. But in many countries, pregnant women did get the vaccine. Observational studies have been done since the vaccines became available, to generate information on the vaccines’ safety and how well they work. [...] The question was whether it was safe to vaccinate pregnant women with COVID vaccines. None of the studies found any safety concerns regarding these vaccines during pregnancy. The reactions to the vaccine that were reported by pregnant women were similar to the reactions that were reported by other adult people who got the vaccine. There was no difference between pregnant women and the general population as regards safety.

Claim: “COVID Vaccines Were Never Safe for Pregnant Women, Pfizer’s own data show” (David Bell, 2023-10-05)
Evidence (2024-02-28): Clinical trials and medical studies have indicated that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe for pregnant people. But online posts misrepresent unverified reports submitted to vaccine monitoring systems in the U.S. and Europe to misleadingly suggest "920 women" lost babies because they received COVID-19 vaccines. [...] Since then, studies have suggested that the vaccines are safe during pregnancy. An article published in the New England Journal of Medicine in April evaluated data from more than 35,000 pregnant people who received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines and submitted reports to three different reporting systems — including VAERS. While it called for further study, the preliminary report found that there was no increased risk during pregnancy for those who received the vaccines.

Claim: “COVID Vaccines Were Never Safe for Pregnant Women, Pfizer’s own data show” (David Bell, 2023-10-05)
Evidence (2022-08-10): A large prospective cohort study including 7809 pregnant people found that covid-19 vaccines were well tolerated among people who were pregnant, lactating, or planning pregnancy. Odds of several reactions were decreased among people who were pregnant, such as fever after Pfizer dose 2 (odds ratio 0.44, 0.38 to 0.52; P<.001) and after Moderna dose 2 (0.48, 0.40 to 0.57; P<0.001) compared with those who were neither pregnant nor lactating.55 The frequency of complaints after vaccination was similar to that observed in non-pregnant patients, and reports of adverse outcomes were infrequent. Additionally, a prospective study of 83 vaccinated pregnant women who were age matched with 166 vaccinated female non-pregnant controls found the frequency of complaints following vaccine administration did not differ between pregnant and non-pregnant patients (18.1% v 16.9%; P=0.20).82 However, pregnant patients were more likely to report fever (4.8% v 0.6%; P=0.04) and gastrointestinal symptoms (4.8% v 0%; P=0.01). This could reflect differences in the physiologic responses to the vaccines in pregnancy.
