There's an image from the report that outlines what the deaths were in each group. The data from the report is sloppy record keeping, but I found this statement (from the author of the column) to be particularly interesting: > Further, nine vaccine recipients had died from cardiovascular events such as heart attacks or strokes, compared to six placebo recipients who died of those causes. The imbalance was small but notable, considering that regulators worldwide had found that the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines were linked to heart inflammation in young men. Ideally, if there's nothing wrong with what you're testing, deaths would be roughly equal in both categories. 6 and 9 out of 44,000 total participants is somewhat statistically insignificant, but it (to me) would indicate that it's something to be looked at later. If you add the known data of heart problems as evidenced by countries stopping the injections for younger people, this should have been a smoking gun that something was amiss and needed further investigation. They (the FDA) obviously didn't want to do that and went ahead and approved the stuff, probably just rubber stamping whatever came across their desk.
