US EditionStudy Confirms Covid Vaccines Did Not Increase Mortality Rates in France
Study of nearly 30 million adults shows vaccinated individuals had a 0.4% death rate versus 0.6% for unvaccinated, indicating no increased mortality from mRNA vaccines.
- On 05/12/2025, Epi-Phare published a study in Jama Network Open finding Covid-19 vaccines did not increase mortality rates in France.
- Using records from nearly 30 million adults aged 18–59, researchers analysed health data from 2021–2025; around 23 million received at least one Moderna or Pfizer/BioNTech dose while 6 million remained unvaccinated.
- Comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated groups, over four years after the first jab, 0.4 percent of vaccinated people died versus 0.6 percent of the unvaccinated, a roughly 50 percent higher rate.
- Given the safety record, the mortality gap may reflect protective effects of vaccination or demographic and social differences, while the study notes the safety profile of Covid-19 vaccines and Moderna jab advisory for young adults.
- Responding to misinformation, the study by Epi-Phare rebuts vaccine‑sceptic networks' claims, and Mahmoud Zureik, study supervisor, said it's "with a high degree of confidence" no mortality risk rises after Covid vaccines.

Anti-Covid vaccines have not caused an increase in mortality in France since their appearance in early 2020, a study that contradicts the theories spread in the sceptic environments against vaccines, reports AFP.
Study confirms Covid vaccines did not increase mortality rates in France
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.
The efficacy and safety of Covid vaccines are already documented by many studies, but vaccine-sceptic media have frequently relayed the misconception that vaccines, especially messenger RNA, killed many people with low noise during the pandemic.
Vaccines against VOCID-19 have not caused an increase in mortality in France since their appearance in the early 2020s, shows a large study.
A study conducted by French researchers shows that no increase in mortality was caused by messenger RNA vaccines administered against Covid-19. Data from nearly 30 million people were analysed in this research. The "long-term benefit" of these vaccines "had never been studied", notes researcher Mahmoud Zureik, who supervised this work. - Covid-19: no increase in mortality in France due to messenger RNA vaccines (Health and well-being).
