A new peer-reviewed study of nearly 2 million Florida adults found that people who received Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine were more likely to die within the following year than people who received Moderna’s mRNA COVID shot. In a post on X, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo wrote that the study supports his decision to stop recommending the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, as they “strongly” imply that “thousands of Floridians died as a result of receiving Pfizer instead of Moderna.”
The study, published in Global Epidemiology, found a statistically significant association between Pfizer’s original COVID-19 vaccine and higher death rates over the following year when compared with the Moderna shot. This included a higher rate of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and COVID-19 mortality.
The study’s findings showed that, when compared to those who received the Moderna shot, people who received the Pfizer shot had a:
- 39% higher risk of death from any cause.
- 55% higher risk of cardiovascular death.
- 90% higher risk of death from COVID-19.
- 36% higher risk of death from causes other than COVID-19.
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo and Retsef Levi, Ph.D., a professor of operations management at the MIT Sloan School of Management and member of the now-suspended Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), were among the study’s co-authors.
