A U.S. Senate subcommittee held a COVID vaccine hearing on allegations that federal health officials downplayed adverse events, including myocarditis. Physician Peter McCullough presented a claim about deaths examined in an autopsy series; the available account does not establish that vaccines caused those deaths.

COVID vaccine hearing testimony

The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations heard from McCullough, physicians Jordan Vaughn, James Thorp and Joel Wallskog, attorney Aaron Siri, and Hawaii Governor Josh Green.

McCullough said mRNA COVID vaccines were considered the likely cause in 73.9% of examined post-vaccine deaths in an autopsy series. That is a claim about the deaths selected for examination, not a death rate among everyone who received a vaccine.

What the available account does not establish

The account does not specify the number of deaths examined, how they were selected or the methods used to assess causation. It also does not provide evidence establishing the headline’s claim of a surge in blood clots.
