Instead, it is a proposal to use surplus funds from the vaccine excise tax, which are not currently being used and as intended by the initial law\u00a0to improve the detection, investigation, and prevention of vaccine adverse events after a vaccine is approved to enhance the current vaccine safety system.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Dan Salmon, the article&#8217;s primary author, says, &#8220;Mr. Siri is not portraying our\u00a0NEJM\u00a0article accurately.\u00a0Available vaccines are highly safe and effective for the vast majority of people.\u00a0Post-licensure studies exist abundantly to show vaccines are very safe and effective.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Vaccines undergo extensive testing in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/science\/vaccinedevelopment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/voicesforvaccines.us6.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3De17a65409cd8f13ba7e58cc97%26id%3D7d5979b2fc%26e%3Dfc0735be13&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1721583555797000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3b5cbQlUXSEuCNqJ671ybb\">preclinical and clinical trials<\/a>\u00a0before being approved by the FDA. This includes several phases of clinical trials with tens of thousands of participants to check for safety and effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the clinical trials for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine included over 40,000 participants. But if a rare event happens once in a million cases, a trial of 40,000 might not catch it. That&#8217;s why\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/science\/vaccinesafety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/voicesforvaccines.us6.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3De17a65409cd8f13ba7e58cc97%26id%3D8c5950d281%26e%3Dfc0735be13&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1721583555797000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1EHjcz9V7Drn-DKlKNuTXy\">post-approval monitoring systems<\/a>\u00a0like the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) are important. These systems help detect and study super rare events as millions of people get vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>The article acknowledges the need to keep improving vaccine safety monitoring to maintain public trust. It stresses the importance of strong safety monitoring to tackle new public health challenges. Their article aims to strengthen these systems and highlight the need for transparency and ongoing research to build confidence in vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>When looking at the full context and evidence, it\u2019s clear that the claim that vaccines are not properly studied is false.

Only about 80% of women in\u00a0the\u00a0test made enough antibodies to prevent pregnancies.\u00a0It didn&#8217;t cause infertility and wasn&#8217;t even effective enough as birth control to be released to the public.<\/p>\n<p>Then, in Kenya, to combat neonatal tetanus, the WHO and UNICEF worked to improve vaccination rates among women of child-bearing age.
