Two mRNA-based COVID injectables were granted emergency use authorization in both children and adults in 2021 after an accelerated approval process that allowed the manufacturers to fast-track their products. We analyzed data from regulatory surveillance and self-reporting systems such as Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED); EudraVigilance; Eurostat; German health insurers; the Israeli Ministry of Health; the Natural Cycles App; Public Health Scotland; the United Kingdom’s (UK) Office for National Statistics (ONS); UK’s yellow card reporting system; the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS); and V-Safe After Vaccination Health Checker entries to find long-term adverse events of the COVID products that cannot be captured during the expedited safety analyses. In this observational study, we analyzed non-foreign VAERS data for selected symptoms reported after COVID, influenza, and pertussis vaccines and calculated rates per dose administered as well as proportion of total reports received. We also looked at DMED data and compared annual incidence rates of selected conditions by taking into account the total number of military personnel for each study-year. Our data show, among other trends, increases in adverse event reports if we compare COVID products to influenza and pertussis vaccines and statistically significant higher numbers of hospital encounters in military personnel, as well as increases in incidences of thromboembolic conditions, such as menstrual abnormalities, myocarditis, and cerebrovascular events after the implementation of COVID injection mandates, compared to the preceding five years. We verified these observations using data from EudraVigilance; the UK’s ONS; German health providers; and Eurostat. Our meta-analysis of both national and international vaccine adverse events emphasizes the importance of re-evaluating public health policies that promote universal mass injection and multiple boosters for all demographic groups. In combination with informal reports from reliable witnesses, limitations of the safety trials, and the decreased lethality of new strains, our research demonstrates that the cost (both monetary and humanitarian) of injecting healthy people, and especially children, outweighs any claimed though unvalidated benefits.
