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.
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.
