Elon Musk has responded to alarming claims regarding Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine, which suggest it may have caused between 20,000 to 60,000 deaths in Germany. This assertion arose from testimony by Dr. Helmut Sterz, Pfizer's former chief toxicologist, during a parliamentary inquiry. Musk shared his own adverse reactions to the vaccine, stating that his second shot made him feel like he was dying and almost sent him to the hospital. His comments were made in response to a post by Swedish journalist Peter Sweden, who criticized mainstream media for not covering Sterz's testimony. Musk has a history of discussing vaccine side effects and has previously stated that while he supports vaccines, there should be a choice regarding their administration. The claims made by Sterz remain unverified and are contested within the scientific community.
