Question for written answer E-001675/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Gerald Hauser (PfE)
Scientific publications document cases of liver damage following vaccination against COVID-19, including immune-mediated hepatitis, acute liver cell injury and liver impairment in transplant patients. Here are a few examples:
– Liver injury following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination: A multicenter case series[1]
– Liver injury after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination: Features of immune-mediated hepatitis, role of corticosteroid therapy and outcome[2]
– Histological and serological features of acute liver injury after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination[3]
– Risk of acute liver injury following the mRNA (BNT162b2) and inactivated (CoronaVac) COVID-19 vaccines[4]
– Severe de novo liver injury after Moderna vaccination – not always autoimmune hepatitis[5]
Not only can liver damage be caused by mRNA vaccination, but the vaccines also have a wide range of other side effects.
- 1.In hindsight, what does the Commission make of the scientific diligence shown in authorising the mRNA vaccines in view of the wide range of side effects they have?
- 2.Are any investigations currently being carried out by the Commission or subordinate EU authorities into the safety of mRNA vaccines?
- 3.Were potential hepatotoxicity, genotoxicity, cardiotoxic effects, immunotoxicity, neurotoxic effects and possible long-term effects on liver function and genetic integrity investigated when the mRNA vaccines were authorised?
