Summary:
This review evaluates COVID-19 mRNA vaccines from an Australian perspective, focusing on their safety and efficacy. The authors discuss initial promises versus actual outcomes, citing serious side effects—including deaths—from collected case reports. They highlight concerns regarding the mRNA’s distribution in the body, potential long-term effects, and the overlooked issue of natural immunity. The review questions the government’s strong promotion of mRNA vaccines despite ongoing trials and insufficient data. It also presents alarming findings, such as increased hospitalisation rates in vaccinated individuals and the declining efficacy of vaccines against emerging variants. The authors call for a re-evaluation of vaccination policies, especially in previously infected individuals, and express the need for transparent reporting of vaccine-related adverse events.
