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.

    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.
