Lol. Article says 'appears', headline gives the impression of fact. And of course this info is from the manufacturers themselves, were you paid for this advertisement?

6% in dummy grp got cvd (21/351) vs 1.6% in vax grp (13 vs 794) Did any in the vax grp get severe cvd? 'There were 21 COVID-19 cases among the 351 tots who got dummy shots -- compared to just 13 among the 794 youngsters given three vaccine doses'

MRNA is not a vaccine. This is horseshit. Dr. Fauci said we would have a cure for HIV in 6 months. That was 30 years ago. Biggest cash grab ever?
