However, that does NOT mean that the "yellow batch" was intentional placebo (with 100% certainty).
It does mean however, when combined with the data from Paul Ehrlrich Institute (Germany) that the officials knew WHICH batches were super-hot and which were NOT.
The reasons for this non-random variability are still unknown, but if it was pure manufacturing standards laxness, then the variability would not have been as clustered as it ended up being.
So, ~33% being 100% placebo is still unsure (as even that batch had some adverse effects beyond mere injection site pain), but what is know THAT THEY FUCKING KNEW ALL ALONG, and still mass-injected.
That news article was based on this study by Shcmeling et al:
Batch-dependent safety of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36997290/
Out of which came this graph:
