Morris<\/a>\u00a0points out, Kirsch did not use any data from unvaccinated individuals, only looking and comparing all-cause mortality<br \/>\n(ACM) in vaccinated people.<\/p>\n<p>While Kirsch claims that Moderna increased ACM more than Pfizer did, he neglected to compare either vaccine to no vaccine (or\u00a0<span class=\"il\">the<\/span>\u00a0vaccinated to\u00a0<span class=\"il\">the<\/span>\u00a0unvaccinated). When Morris did so, he found that ACM was\u00a0<em>higher in\u00a0<span class=\"il\">the<\/span>\u00a0unvaccinated group<\/em>\u00a0than in either group of vaccinees.<\/p>\n<p>Kirsch asserts that\u00a0<span class=\"il\">the<\/span>\u00a0only explanation for\u00a0<span class=\"il\">the<\/span>\u00a0Czech data is that\u00a0<span class=\"il\">the<\/span>\u00a0Moderna vaccine is deadlier than\u00a0<span class=\"il\">the<\/span>\u00a0Pfizer vaccine. However, Morris found in\u00a0<span class=\"il\">the<\/span>\u00a0data a higher rate of comorbidities in those who received Pfizer than in those who received Moerna (7.4% vs 3.7%). As we get more data, we will know if that statistic holds.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out if vaccines are tested against placebos, if the pandemic proved vaccines are dangerous, and whether COVID vaccines cause death within one minute in this weeks newsletter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","jtf_topic_subjects":[],"class_list":["post-10951","just-the-facts","type-just-the-facts","status-publish","hentry","entry","no-media"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/just-the-facts\/10951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/just-the-facts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/just-the-facts"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"jtf_topic_subjects","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topic_subjects?post=10951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
