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.

      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.

      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.

          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.

              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.

      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)
