Sweden Suspends Use of Moderna Covid Vaccine in Under-30s Due to Concerns about Side Effects

by Michael Curzon
7 October 2021 9:11 AM

Swedish health authorities have suspended the use of the Moderna Covid vaccine in people aged 30 and under due to concerns about side effects, including inflammation of the heart muscle. The Independent has the story.

The reason for the pausing is “signals of an increased risk of side effects such as inflammation of the heart muscle or the pericardium” – the double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the main vessels, Sweden’s Public Health Agency said in a statement. “The risk of being affected is very small.” 

Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s Chief Epidemiologist, said they “follow the situation closely and act quickly to ensure that vaccinations against Covid are always as safe as possible and at the same time provide effective protection” against the disease.

In July, the European Medicines Agency recommended authorising Moderna’s Covid vaccine for children ages 12 to 17, the first time the shot has been authorised for people under 18.

Moderna’s vaccine was given the green light for use in anyone 18 and over across the 27-nation European Union in January. It has also been licensed in countries including Britain, Canada and the U.S., but so far its use hasn’t been extended to children. To date, the Pfizer vaccine is the only one approved for children under 18 in Europe and North America.

Hundreds of millions of Moderna doses already have been administered to adults. In a study of more than 3,700 children ages 12 to 17, the vaccine triggered the same signs of immune protection, and no Covid diagnoses arose in the vaccinated group compared with four cases among those given dummy shots.

Sore arms, headache and fatigue were the most common side effects in the young vaccine recipients, the same ones as for adults.

U.S. and European regulators caution, however, that both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines appear linked to a rare reaction in teenagers and young adults — chest pain and heart inflammation.

The Swedish health authorities said that the heart symptoms “usually go away on their own,” but they must be assessed by a doctor. The conditions are most common among young men, in connection with, for example, viral infections such as Covid. In 2019, approximately 300 people under the age of 30 were treated in hospital with myocarditis.

Data point to an increased incidence also in connection with vaccination against Covid, mainly in adolescents and young adults and mainly in boys and men.

Worth reading in full.

“U.S. and European regulators caution, however, that both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines appear linked to a rare reaction in teenagers and young adults — chest pain and heart inflammation.”

This particular reaction might be “rare” but if you add all the rare reactions together the answer you come to is THESE VACCINES AREN’T SAFE, DON’T WORK AND SHOULD BE WITHDRAWN ENTIRELY.

If you look at the Yellow Card reporting of deaths shortly after vaccination you will find that 1 person dead in every 28,938 people vaccinated, and adverse effects are being reported at a rate of 1 report in every 132 people vaccinated.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-reactions/coronavirus-vaccine-summary-of-yellow-card-reporting

This is a scandal and yet… with the exception of a few Scandinavian public health bodies, nothing changes and the media is silent.

Unfortunately those stats have become irrelevant because the rules have been completely changed.

Before, even very very low levels of damage would trigger the suspension of a drug of vaccine. The expectation was that vaccines and drugs had to be virtually 100% safe.

Now, jab side effects need only be less damaging than the damage from covid to be justified. Most people shrug at the risks of this jab and consider them absolutely justifiable because they think covid is far more dangerous.

To make matters worse they have an exaggerated sense of the risk of covid, so many end up thinking it’s less risky than the jab when we all know that for many age groups it’s the opposite. But that is beside the point. The fundamental shift is we no longer demand that our drugs and vaccines are virtually 100% safe, just safer than the perceived risk of the disease.

Wise words… sadly not enough wise words or common sense around at the moment. I made the mistake of mentioning to a group of friends that deaths in teenagers had doubled since the vaccine was introduced and maybe there might be a link – cure worse than the disease. You’d have thought I’d pee’d on the Queen’s statue considering the response I got.

I think that your experience is not untypical. I use the litmus of talking to those who are pretty sceptical in many ways, but balk at the final step of seeing the whole thing as a total scam.

40% of the population is too far gone and cannot be talked back with evidence and data.

It’s the remaining 40% we need to work on. Using humour, asking questions, planting seeds of doubt. Every second of every minute of every day.

This is absolutely the nail on the head Stewart. The psyops has convinced many that Covid is basically a death sentence, even for young people. Therefore I think many people reason that seeing as it’s unlikely that the jab will kill them, it must be a better option. When I had Covid a few months back and told people that I’d had it, their reaction was as if I was telling them I had cancer or a brain tumour or something.

Same here. I carry a copy of my positive antibody test around with me, because when I go on to explain why I now have natural immunity, they tend to glaze over. Because they’ve not seen anything in the papers or on the telly about it they seem unable to process what I’m telling them – had it – can’t get it again – can’t give it to anyone else.

My brother (who’s also had it) is recieving calls from his surgery accusing him of being irresponsible and a danger to others because he refuses the jab. I advised him to speak to a solicitor abour ‘coersion’ as it’s illegal.

Having had so many hideous reactions to so many prescription medicines I have been issued with over the years I now have a very healthy scepticism about ANYTHING produced by big pharma – to the point where I would always be looking for a natural alternative – and this whole fiasco has just heightened my concerns about the safety of anything they produce – because they operate on the policy of having another drug to counteract the unpleasant side effects of the first drug, as opposed to the natural alternative which is invariably not only completely safe and side effect free but actually treats the ailment in question as opposed to merely tamping down symptoms which seems to be the big pharma approach.

I wouldn’t get too excited. In due course they’ll conclude it’s fine and resume. And they’ll use it to “prove” that they are safe and that the authorities are taking the side effects seriously, which we all know they aren’t really. But they have the megaphone…

Getting accurate information out of teenagers is notoriously difficult, they have inherent skills related to “conduct after capture”. However, young Eagle reports that many classmates have had one or two days off after the injection of the operating system upgrade. These kids have all been summonsed or taken to their GP for “their jab”. Small class sizes, so aftereffects significant to warrant a couple of days off school constitute a large proportion of those jabbed.

It is an appalling hit job on Ivermectin.

It has now seemingly been disappeared so no one can find it. It is full of lies and may have been pulled because it attempted to link to the fake ivermectin deaths in the US. Quite disgraceful.

This is awkward for the UK, because the UK withdrew the AZ vaccine for the under 40s, due to the risk of #extremelyrare blood clots, and said they could get Moderna instead. And of course we know that Pfizer has the same issues around myocarditis and pericarditis.

But I’m sure the MHRA will say “no, no, no it’s all cushty, move along, nothing to see here”.

What a time to be alive.

This will be why the ONS report 50%rise in teenage deaths since the vaccine was extended to include children. The Governments own data won’t stop them so don’t expect Sweden’s change will have an impact.

If you look at the age group 1-14 for which there is a long ONS death history, it appears that covid doesn’t affect this age group at all (source ONS: Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional: week ending 24 September 2021). Time will tell if any increase in all cause mortality following vaccination occurs in this age group bearing in mind most of this age group is too young to have been experimentally vaccinated.

The next age group up for which there is long term data available is 15-44 so that doesn’t give us many clues pre 2020.

See this chart I’ve produced which on the left shows weekly all cause deaths in the 1-14 age group and on the right cumulative all cause deaths in this age group over the calendar year.

Notice the absence of any obvious peak at all in all cause deaths in Spring 2020 or Winter 2020/2021 and that the number of all cause deaths in this age group during 2020 or year 2021 to date is lower than in the preceeding years.

And this is despite the number of people in England and Wales in the age 1-14 age group being 9.1 million in mid-2010 and 10.1 million in mid-2020. Increasing numbers in this age group would mean other things being equal more expected deaths in 2020 than in 2010 etc.

It’s often said that covid roughly affects different age groups proportionately in relation to their chances of dying from other causes. But this chart indicates this may not be true for the 1-14 age group. On the surface given all cause deaths are lower in the age 1-14 age group than previous years, then the starting assumption should be that all covid deaths in this age group are other deaths that would have occurred anyway that have been misallocated as covid.

It would be interesting if ONS were to respectively split their all cause registered weekly deaths into the same groups they’ve been using since the beginning of 2020, 1-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44 etc and apply this back to say 2010 as it would show if and when vaccination or covid potentially increased deaths in these age groups.

I noticed this early 2020.
It makes comparisons with previous years difficult and was, to me, the first hint that there was more to this ‘pandemic’ than meets the eye.
On top of this, Covid deaths exceed excess deaths which means that deaths from other causes are fewer than normal. How come?

The Moderna ‘vaccine’ contains three times the amount of LNP containing mRNA that the Pfizer jab does.
Why is anyone surprised that it causes more ‘events’?

I sometimes feel that the focus on serious, reported adverse events – although important as a significant canary down the mine – takes focus away from the key issues around the snake oil.

… because the jabberwocky advocates are correct in pointing out that these events are, still, of a low probability.

It strikes me that the focus diverts away from the fundamental issues :

  • that the reported events are the small tip of an iceberg of adverse reactions of lesser immediate consequence
  • that the jab programme is an ascientific corruption of long-established safety testing of experimental drugs
  • that such data as is available is totally inadequate, and lacking in the crucial medium and long term
  • that the circumstantial issues around the programme (pre-purchase, lack of liability, public health vitiated by active and dishonest promotion, lack of independent scrutiny; close links of promoters to the drug industry) all raise issues of corruption.
  • that observational data, in all its imperfection, does not indicate any convincing degree of efficacy – particularly for a moderatte impact virus

Bluntly – immediate headline-grabbing safety issues apart, there is absolutely no case for the jabberwokery, and that does not fundamentally hinge on the VAERS/Yellow Card data.

And determined coercion – I’m sure that, like me, many of you on here have been bombarded with vaccine “offers” from NHS England. My data protection complaint about this (that this level of coercion was a misuse of personal data) was of course rejected by them. I then put in a complaint to the ICO – awaiting a response, but not hopeful as I expect they’ve been told to reject any such complaints.

Your point is an interesting one – because I haven’t been bombarded, following one telephone approach right at the beginning, wher no persuasion was used, and the conversation ended when I said I would evaluate when the ‘vaccine’ was not an experiment. The chuckle at the other end suggested that my correspondent understood perfectly that I knew what the issues were and that it was pointless trying any persuasion.

The risk curves cross each other at about 30. Whatever the risk of the vaccine is (even if we take best case numbers) it isn’t less until you hit the age 30 grouping. Jabbing under 30s is not needed, but it is both profitable (I’m a capitalist so, not anti-profit) and makes the government able to beat its chest.

As long as it is their free choice, made with knowledge of the risks, and without compulsion by exclusion from daily life, allowing 18-30s to get jabbed is fine. But we have become vaccine addicted, just as the data begins to show the vaccines are not the silver bullet hoped for.
