Results confirm how uncommon known complications are as researchers confirm benefits from vaccines still ‘vastly outweigh the risks’
Two new but exceptionally rare Covid-19 vaccine side effects – a neurological disorder and inflammation of the spinal cord – have been detected by researchers in the largest vaccine safety study to date.
The study of more than 99 million people from Australia, Argentina, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, New Zealand and Scotland also confirmed how rare known vaccine complications are, with researchers confirming that the benefits of Covid-19 vaccines still “vastly outweigh the risks”.
Researchers working as part of the Global Vaccine Data Network used deidentified electronic healthcare data to compare the rates of 13 brain, blood and heart conditions in people after they received the Pfizer, Moderna or AstraZeneca vaccine with the rate that would be expected of those conditions in the population before the pandemic.
Yeah I’ve always been pretty doubtful of the numbers anyone gives. I’ve a lot of friends over four provinces and a couple northern states, moved around a lot over the last 20 years, employed in trades with a lot of free movement. I’d guess I know 30 people died due to opioids and overdoses, etc, the last 5 or 6 years. I don’t know anyone died of covid.
I’m always skeptical of the overdose death numbers. I personally know several people that died from Covid and nobody that’s died from opioids.
Yes, but you probably didn’t live for a long time within walking distance of main and hasting in Vancouver. It’s why I stressed geography a bit.
The fuck does your comment have anything to do with COVID vaccine side-effects?!
Also, “I’m doubtful of the numbers anyone gives” Proceeds to give his numbers
Okay? They’re meaningless if we assume everyone has your opinion regarding numbers.
You really need someone to explain why his personal and wide ranging experience across a quarter of a continent involving thousands of people would make him question the numbers, when people he’s knows personally vaguely resemble the stats of the one crisis for their regions, and the people he knows personally do not whatsoever resemble the official numbers in another? This wasn’t complicated.
And if you looked around outside your bubble at all you’d see that Covid has killed more people than the Holocaust. By a significant margin. Including several of my family members. Fuck off with your denialism, millions have died because of attitudes like yours.
The numbers are lies and it’s really fucking obvious. I’m sorry about your family members but it doesn’t change that.
If only the willfully ignorant were the only ones suffering, I wouldn’t care about your opinion. You have the right to go die choking on your own phlegm, doesn’t bother me. But spreading misinformation kills people. You are killing people. You are a murderer by proxy. I hope with all my heart that you reap the appropriate rewards of that.
You might have convinced me a while ago. No one of any intelligence buys this crap anymore
My manager at a previous employer died of covid while I worked there. This was long after the initial hectic period.
I personally interacted with hundreds of people who would end up passing away from covid-related complications.
Obviously working in healthcare exposes you to this sort of thing more. Outside of that, I had two direct relatives who nearly died (and likely would have if they had caught it when DME companies had run out of oxygen concentrators to rent out in 2020)
Nothing you said is untrue, but none of is is relevant either. You even seem to know that.
It’s relevant because it’s largely regional or circumstantial. The distribution of Covid deaths depends heavily on healthcare system capacity and population density, and when it was bad, it was really bad.
Yeah too many of these hospitals were closed to the public and pretending to be full while nearly empty. Heart attack deaths disappeared statistically. Just a big pile of BS. Just ask a nurse after a few beer.
Definitely not in my neck of the woods, unless they had thousands of crisis actors at every hospital in my area.
