Covid-19 vaccines did not lead to higher death rates in France, according to a new study using data from 30 million adults. Researchers found that those who were not vaccinated had a 50 percent higher death rate over the four years following the rollout of the vaccines than those who had been vaccinated.
In a research paper published on Thursday in Jama Network Open, the French epidemiological group Epi-Phare – which brings together the national medicines agency ANSM and the health insurance system – summed up its findings as follows: “Messenger RNA [mRNA] vaccines against Covid-19 do not increase the long-term risk of death from any cause.”
