Vaccine Safety Update

by Will Jones
18 December 2021 6:33 PM

This is the 21st of the round-ups of Covid vaccine safety reports and news compiled by a group of medical doctors who are monitoring developments but prefer to remain anonymous in the current climate (find the 20th one here). By no means is this part of an effort to generate alarm about the vaccines or dissuade anyone from getting inoculated. It should be read in conjunction with the Daily Sceptic‘s other posts on vaccines, which include both encouraging and not so encouraging developments. At the Daily Sceptic we report all the news about the vaccines whether positive or negative and give no one advice about whether they should or should not take them. Unlike with lockdowns, we are neither pro-vaccine nor anti-vaccine; we see our job as reporting the facts, not advocating for or against a particular policy. The vaccine technology is novel and the vaccines have not yet fully completed their trials, which is why they’re in use under temporary and not full market authorisation. This has been done on account of the emergency situation and the trial data was largely encouraging on both efficacy and safety. For a summary of that data, see this preamble to the Government’s page on the Yellow Card reporting system. (Dr Tess Lawrie in June wrote an open letter to Dr June Raine, head of the MHRA, arguing that: “The MHRA now has more than enough evidence on the Yellow Card system to declare the COVID-19 vaccines unsafe for use in humans,” a claim that has been ‘fact checked’ here.) Boris Johnson said in October that being double vaccinated “doesn’t protect you against catching the disease, and it doesn’t protect you against passing it on”. We publish information and opinion to inform public debate and help readers reach their own conclusions about what is best for them, based on the available data.

  • A study in Nature has shown increased risk of neurological symptoms post-vaccine.
  • A pre-print study finds that not one healthy child aged 5-11 has died from COVID-19 in Germany.
  • The CDC has stated that 80% of Omicron cases have been found in vaccinated people.
  • A province in Vietnam discontinued a batch of the Pfizer vaccine after more than 120 students were hospitalised after taking it. The Vietnamese government has reported that four children have died following a reaction to the Pfizer vaccine.
  • The Japanese Government has placed a myocarditis warning on Covid vaccines and is emphasising informed consent.
  • The first few hundred pages of the Pfizer documents upon which the FDA based their vaccine decision have been released.
  • VAERS – the American version of the Yellow Card reporting system – released new data on December 14th bringing the total to 946,463 reports of adverse events following Covid vaccines, including 19,886 deaths and 150,946 serious injuries.
  • DAEN Australia – the equivalent of the Yellow Card reporting system – has logged (up to December 1st) 89,577 reports of adverse events, including 687 deaths.
  • Children (Under 18) Adverse Events UK – up to December 1st, the MHRA reports a total of 2,257 adverse event reports, comprising 1,997 Pfizer, 244 AstraZeneca (with a reporting rate of one yellow card per 47 doses), seven Moderna and nine unspecified from 2,729,700 doses given.
  • Booster Doses – up to 15,288 adverse events have been reported across all vaccines up to December 1st.

Summary of Adverse Events in the U.K.

According to an updated report, the MHRA Yellow Card reporting system has recorded a total of 1,314,659 events based on 399,731 reports. The total number of fatalities reported is 1,822.

  • Pfizer (24.6 million first doses, 20.9 million second doses) now has one Yellow Card in 177 people vaccinated. Deaths: 1 in 38,801 people vaccinated (634).
  • AstraZeneca (24.9 million first doses, 24.1 million second doses) has one Yellow Card in 104 people vaccinated. Deaths: 1 in 21,880 people vaccinated (1,138).
  • Moderna (1.5 million first doses, 1.3 million second doses) has one Yellow Card in 73 people vaccinated. Deaths: 1 in 83,333 people vaccinated (18).

Overall, one in every 128 people vaccinated (0.78%) have experienced a Yellow Card adverse event. The MHRA has previously estimated that the Yellow Card reporting rate may be approximately 10% of actual figures. Note that sometimes in Yellow Card reporting, the numbers of adverse events (including fatalities) will be lower than the previous week. The Yellow Card system is a passive reporting system, so in theory this should not happen as all reports should be cumulative. However, the MHRA say they analyse the data prior to publication, with deaths and pregnancy conditions being notably investigated. They do not state criteria by which reports would be removed and to date have not clarified why this data varies. It is therefore unclear how many reported adverse events have been removed from the reports since reporting began in February 2021.

  • Pulmonary Embolism & Deep Vein Thrombosis = 3,701
  • Anaphylaxis = 1,470
  • Acute Cardiac = 19,580
  • Pericarditis/Myocarditis = 1,362
  • Infections = 29,847
  • Herpes = 4,625
  • BCG Scar Reactivation = 124
  • Headaches & Migraines = 128,701
  • Blindness = 452
  • Deafness = 663
  • Spontaneous Abortions = 647 miscarriages
  • Facial Paralysis incl. Bell’s Palsy = 1,924
  • Strokes and CNS haemorrhages = 2,855
  • Guillain-Barré Syndrome = 550
  • Tremor = 12,018
  • Amnesia & Memory Loss = 1,275
  • Confusion & Disorientation = 4,270
  • Seizures = 3,096
  • Paralysis = 1,288
  • Haemorrhage (all types) = 9,341
  • Vertigo/Tinnitus = 10,502
  • Vomiting = 16,906
  • Reproductive/Breast Disorders = 48,010
