News, COVID-19 Vaccine Side Effects
A study of about 100 million people who received the COVID-19 vaccine in eight countries around the world confirmed a link between vaccination and side effects such as myocarditis, the American media outlet The Hill reported on the 19th (local time).
According to the 'Global COVID Vaccine Safety Project' supported by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), symptoms such as myocarditis, pericarditis, facial nerve paralysis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a brain neurological disease, were observed in the vaccinated subjects who were observed for 42 days.
In particular, the research team announced that they confirmed a significant increase in cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome among those who received the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Among those who received the first dose of the Moderna vaccine, the rate of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) was higher than expected.
However, the research team added that “there was no consistent pattern related to vaccines and vaccination timing” regarding acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, and “large-scale epidemiological studies have not confirmed a potential association.”
Cases of myocarditis were reported in those vaccinated with Pfizer and Moderna’s messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines. Significantly higher than expected cases were reported in both the first and third doses of both vaccines.
In the case of Moderna vaccine, cases of pericarditis were observed after the first and fourth doses.
The research team pointed out that side effects due to vaccination can also occur as a sequela to actual COVID-19 virus infection, and “when evaluating the overall risks and benefits of vaccination, the risks associated with infection should be considered.”
This survey was conducted on 99,068,901 people who received the vaccine in eight countries: Argentina, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, New Zealand, and Scotland.
The vaccines being investigated were limited to three: Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca.
