Based on incomplete data, "serious safety concerns," and potential long-term risks, the authors of a new peer-reviewed study recommend "at minimum" a moratorium on Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccines.

A new peer-reviewed study calling for a moratorium on mRNA COVID-19 vaccines adds to a growing chorus of voices demanding that public health officials hit the pause button on the shots until definitive safety studies are performed.

The study, published in the winter 2024 edition of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, analyzed COVID-19 vaccine and booster data from Pfizer and BioNTech. The authors concluded that "at minimum," health officials should institute a moratorium on the shots.
