Okay, I went and looked at the original document this article is discussing. The document appears legitimate, which is to say this is an official submission to the regulatory authorities by Pfizer describing the protocols for their study of adverse events related to the use of the Pfizer vaccine.

Whether these events (secondary exposure leading to adverse events) occur is not addressed in this document. This document is the set of procedures of how these events will be handled if they do occur during the study. In other words, this document does not show results, it shows planning. It shows how Pfizer will handle hypothetical events during their study. One of the hypothetical events they planned for is secondary exposure - i.e. someone who is not themselves administered the vaccine, but is in close personal contact with someone who is administered the vaccine as part of this study. This document states that secondary exposure is to be tracked as significant and must be recorded according to the protocol.

In plain English, Pfizer in this document states that if a person not directly administered the vaccine, but who is in close contact with a direct vaccine recipient, develops symptoms, that person's symptoms will be recorded and tracked as part of the study. That event (the secondary person developing a medical event) will be considered as related to the vaccine administered to the recipient as part of the study.

Again, although this says that Pfizer was preparing for this possibility, because this document does not state results but only protocol of the study itself, we cannot say based on this document that these exposures actually did lead to illness.

In other words, while this document shows that Pfizer was paying attention to this possibility, there remains the possibility that they found no events to track. Maybe the category of "secondary exposure" was created by these protocols, but in the results there were zero people to track as secondary people never developed symptoms. I'm not saying this is what happened, but based on this document, that remains a possibility.

All we know from this is that Pfizer kept a space open to monitor IF this happened. We do NOT know from this document THAT this happened.

I would love to see their results from this secondary exposure category. Those numbers I haven't seen.

The rumor of these events has been around since the beginning of the vax campaign. If anyone does find Pfizer's own results regarding this issue, that would be a critically important document. This document is not that.
