Elsevier review
The claim that 73% of COVID-19 deaths were caused by vaccination, attributed to Elsevier, is not accurate. This claim likely stems from a misinterpretation or misrepresentation of a preprint study that was never published in a peer-reviewed journal. The study in question was briefly available on the Lancet's preprint server but was quickly removed due to methodological concerns and lack of peer review [[❞]](https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/07/fact-check-preprint-paper-submitted-to-the-lancet-did-not-find-74-percent-of-deaths-in-reviewed-autopsies-were-caused-by-covid19-vaccine.html) [[❞]](https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.01.21252652v1).
Moreover, reputable sources, including extensive studies and data from public health organizations, consistently show that COVID-19 vaccines have significantly reduced the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death from the virus. For instance, vaccines have shown effectiveness rates of up to 85% in preventing COVID-19-related deaths in older adults [[❞]](https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.01.21252652v1).
In summary, the claim that a majority of COVID-19 deaths were caused by vaccination is unfounded and contradicts the broad scientific consensus on the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
