Days after the U.S. Government announced its plans to begin a Covid booster vaccine roll-out, the Washington Post has revealed that American health officials are reviewing reports that the Moderna vaccine may be linked to a higher risk of a heart condition in younger adults than was previously thought – especially in young men. Reuters has the story.
The review was focused on Canadian data that suggests a higher risk from the shot than the Pfizer vaccine, especially in men below the age of 30, according to paper.
The Washington Post report quoted a source saying it was too early for the regulators to reach a conclusion, and that additional work was needed before any recommendation was made.
“While we won’t comment on internal meetings or discussions, we can say that FDA is absolutely committed to reviewing data as it becomes available to us,” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said. Moderna did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
The possible review comes just two days after U.S. health officials said that Covid vaccine booster doses will be available to Americans from September 20th, over concerns that initial vaccinations may offer lower protection in the face of rising infections due to the Delta variant.
Health regulators in June had added a warning to the literature that accompanies mRNA vaccines produced by Moderna and Pfizer to flag a rare risk of heart inflammation seen primarily in young males.
Data from a Government agency’s safety monitoring system in that month suggested a rate of 12.6 cases of heart inflammation per million in 12 to 39 year-olds. …
If new information changes the risk-benefit profile of Covid vaccines, the FDA will update the public accordingly, the agency said in an email. …
Roughly 142 million shots of the Moderna vaccine have been administered in arms, according to U.S. Government data as of Thursday.

An excellent all encompassing James Delingpole interview with Mark Crispin Miller.

Hmmm, I’m in Canada and I haven’t heard about this. They are still saying the shots are good for that age range.
“Good” in the sense that they aren’t needed to protect that age groups, and useless for protecting anyone else?

Sickened me to see the huge queue of “parents” with their children. Are they insane? Do they not see what is happening?

Still some (albeit very few) signs of sanity and critical thinking then!
A lot of Romanians still remember the totalitarianism of the Ceausescu regime, I imagine.
The last time US medical authorities reviewed reports of alarming reactions to the shots, they concluded proceed, full steam ahead. They are just posturing.
A little off-topic…Dr. Paul Offit of Children’s Hospital at UP, Director of Vaccination Program, consultant to NIH and FDA, on the September introduction of booster shots: “ I think we’ve scared people.”
He’s either crowing over another propaganda score, letting slip their very intentions, or, uttering the biggest understatement ever made.
“Too early to reach a conclusion ….. and additional work needed …….
What kind of work? Autopsies of more young people killed by this poorly trialled, unlicensed jab?
They failed to do proper pharmacovigilance for the initial roll out of the vaccines.
This was a very stupid thing to do — it wouldn’t have been hard to have had post-vaccination interviews with a fraction of the jabbed, at various intervals (from 3 days to 3 months post jab). But they didn’t do this, so we’re stuck with having desperately awful data on vaccine safety and efficacy.
Because of this lack of attention to proper drug safety we found out about very important (deadly) side effects months later than we should have done — if we’d have had these data earlier medics could have been forewarned of potential cases, etc and we could have saved lives even if we chose to not change the mass vaccination approach. But we didn’t.
BUT — here’s a chance for them to improve! Do it properly this time, for the vaccination of children and for the third jabs. Even if it wasn’t done before, it could be done now.
Oh, except they won’t.
The original lack of attention to pharmacovigilance could be regarded as negligence from our medical authorities. This is now a culpable negligence — there should be consequences for those making these decisions.
I read that the NHS were ordering large quantities of clot-busting drugs. Are the Yanks doing the same?
From Sanofi Q2 results:
Second-quarter Lovenox® sales increased 24.6% to €367 million, were driven by strong sales in Europe (up 43.3%) and Rest of the World (up 13.8%) reflecting the recovery in hospital procedures and continued benefit from the WHO guidelines recommending the use of low molecular weight heparins in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, more than offsetting biosimilar competition in Europe.
that is extraordinarily strong growth for an old drug with bio similar competition, and accelerating from the strong growth seen in Q1 (up 10pct in Europe, 34pct overall). While the peaks of COVID hospitalisation have declined….so their rationale for the growth seems disingenuous.
So maybe….
Drug companies have always existed for the benefit of profits, not people.
