Surprise! Surprise!
A two-and-a-half-year peer-reviewed study by Ohio State University researchers found that among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, those who received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines had a significantly higher mortality rate than unvaccinated patients, even when accounting for age and comorbidities.
The peer-reviewed study, published in February in the journal Frontiers in Immunology and covered last week by TrialSite News, found that age and comorbidities did not account for all of the observed mortality.
Researchers from multiple departments and institutes at the university, including the academic medical center’s facility, conducted the single-center study. Between May 2020 and November 2022, they enrolled 152 patients admitted to Ohio State University Hospital with acute respiratory failure.
