Defending the Republic Obtains Troubling Moderna

Documents in its FOIA Lawsuit Against the FDA

Defending the Republic has just received thousands of pages of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine documents, including materials relating to serious adverse events and post-vaccine deaths, Moderna responses to FDA concerns, spreadsheets detailing potential vaccine injuries, and summaries of meetings between the FDA and Moderna.

Here are just some of the key findings and takeaways from these records:

*On January 24, 2022 (approximately one week before the FDA announced its approval of Spikevax), Moderna informed the FDA that it had “no plan to produce BLA [biologics license application] SPIKEVAX labelled material.” This is significant for a number of reasons. First, BLA vaccines are subject to stricter testing and safety standards than Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) vaccines. Second, United States armed service members were mandated by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to receive COVID-19 vaccines; he could only issue this order if the vaccines were “FDA approved.” However, the FDA (and the Department of Defense) knew that Moderna would not be providing the “approved” vaccines to the military. Third, it misled the public that they were getting “approved” vaccines while actually receiving EUA vaccines approved under lesser standards.
