Two people died after receiving Moderna Inc COVID-19 vaccine shots that were among lots later suspended following the discovery of contaminants, Japan's health ministry said on Saturday.

"At this time, we do not have any evidence that these deaths are caused by the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine," Moderna and Takeda said in a statement on Saturday. "It is important to conduct a formal investigation to determine whether there is any connection."

Fumie Sakamoto, the infection control manager at St. Luke's International Hospital in Tokyo, cautioned against drawing a connection between the shots and the fatalities reported on Saturday. The contaminants found in some vials in Japan are believed to be metallic particles, public broadcaster NHK reported, citing health ministry sources.

As of Aug. 8, 991 people had died in Japan after receiving shots of Pfizer Inc's vaccine and 11 after receiving Moderna's, but no causality between the injections and the deaths has been established, according to the health ministry. Adverse reactions have been reported at a frequency of 0.01% for the Moderna shot.

Yeah but......'There may only be a temporal relationship between vaccination and death,' Sakamoto told Reuters. 'There are so many things we still don't know to make any conclusions on these two cases.'

Context is important, but not if your business model relies upon traffic and ad revenue, so you have to make click-bait tweets and bury the lede. Poor journalism.

Can you get the CDC/FDA to define if the vaccinated are deemed “unvaccinated” once 6 months has passed after being fully vaccinated? Bc if they are, it’s important for civil unrest to be calmed that there is a possibility they are deemed “unvaccinated” and they won’t know that

Be better
