German Government Admits Covid Vaccines Cause Serious Injury for One in 5,000 Doses – But its Own Data Show the Real Rate is One in 300 Doses

by Will Jones
21 July 2022 7:00 AM

The German Government publicly acknowledged on Wednesday that the Covid vaccines cause serious side effects for one in every 5,000 doses.

A tweet from the Ministry of Health stated (via Google translate): “One in 5,000 people is affected by a serious side effect after a COVID19 #vaccination. If you suspect #sideeffects, get medical attention and report your symptoms to @PEI_Germany.” It later added a correction that the figure related to the reporting rate and to doses rather than individuals: “Correction: According to @PEI_Germany, the reporting rate for serious reactions is 0.2 reports per 1,000 vaccine doses.” Subsequently, the original tweet was deleted and a corrected version put up.

0,2 Verdachtsmeldungen pro 1.000 Impfdosen beträgt die Melderate ans @PEI_Germany für schwerwiegende Reaktionen. Sollten Sie den Verdacht auf #Nebenwirkungen haben, holen Sie sich ärztliche Hilfe und melden Sie Ihre Symptome: https://t.co/ajsedbBO7o pic.twitter.com/pfkP4cAL53

— Bundesgesundheitsministerium (@BMG_Bund) July 21, 2022

This is an unusual and welcome admission from a Government, and perhaps the beginning of governments properly acknowledging the scale of injuries caused by the novel Covid vaccines.

However, the one in 5,000 figure is certainly on the low side. The correction tweet clarified that it was a reporting rate of serious reactions, and it appears from the PEI website to refer to the rate of adverse event reports to the German equivalent of the Yellow Card and VAERS passive reporting systems. Assuming this is right, then we might expect an under-reporting factor of around 10, meaning the true number of serious side-effects may be 10 times higher.

The Germans are actually very good at monitoring vaccine safety. In addition to their passive reporting system, the German medicines regulator, the PEI, runs an active vaccine safety monitoring app called SafeVac 2.0. The data from this monitoring app were included in a Europe-wide report on vaccine safety published last month and showed that 0.3% of vaccine recipients in Germany reported at least one serious adverse reaction to the first dose of the vaccine. The report states:

Of the 520,076 participants from Germany who had received the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, 1,838 (0.3%) reported experiencing at least one serious adverse reaction. A total of 1,191 (0.2%) and 39 (0.2%) participants receiving BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna respectively reported experiencing a serious adverse reaction while 608 (0.7%) receiving AstraZeneca reported a serious reaction.

These German figures are in line with the overall rates across Europe, according to the report: “Across the sites 0.2-0.3% reported at least one serious adverse reaction after receiving the first and/or the second dose.”

However, note that a rate of 0.3% is 15 times higher than the rate of 0.2 per 1,000 (i.e., 0.02%) quoted in the tweet. If the figure in the tweet comes, as I suspect, from a passive reporting system (which seems likely as the tweet directs readers to the PEI’s passive reporting portal), this would be an under-reporting factor of 15, which is about what we expected.

But why, then, is the German Government using the 0.02% figure instead of the 0.3% figure from its state-of-the-art vaccine safety monitoring tool when drawing attention to vaccine side effects? I’d like to think that question didn’t answer itself.

I should add that it wasn’t easy to find the SafeVac 2.0 data. I searched in vain for them on the PEI website; if they’re there then they are nowhere obvious. In the end I could only find them, via a general web search, embedded in the Europe-wide study cited above.

Worries about high rates of serious vaccine side effects have been raised before in Germany. In May, Professor Harald Matthes, a scientist leading a separate study into the safety of the vaccines, said that according to his data around 0.8% of vaccinated people in Germany were struggling with serious side-effects. This was in line with international evidence, he said, and much more needs to be done to help them.

The number is not surprising. It corresponds to what is known from other countries such as Sweden, Israel or Canada. Incidentally, even the manufacturers of the vaccines had already determined similar values ​​in their studies… Most side effects, including severe ones, subside after three to six months, 80% heal. But unfortunately there are also some that last much longer.

In view of around half a million cases with serious side effects after Covid vaccinations in Germany, we doctors have to take action. We have to come to therapy offers, discuss them openly at congresses and in public without being considered anti-vaccination.

A board member of a large German insurance company also spoke out in February, saying that his company’s data showed serious vaccine injuries running at around 10 times the rate reported by the German Government.

Elsewhere, an Israeli Government survey found that 0.3% of vaccinated people reported being hospitalised as a result of their Covid vaccination, while a U.S. CDC survey found 0.9% of vaccinated people reported seeking medical care as a result of their vaccination.

The evidence is consistent, then: 0.3-0.9% of vaccinated people (the percentage partly depending on the number of doses) suffer a serious reaction to the vaccine that leads them to require medical care or hospitalisation.

These data should be much more widely publicised as part of obtaining informed consent. Everyone who receives a Covid vaccine should have been told in writing that the rate of serious side effects is around one in 300 doses (with variations for age and sex). Note that such a frequency is properly termed ‘uncommon’, rather than ‘rare’ as per the current labelling. This is an extremely high frequency for a vaccine of course, and raises serious questions about whether the vaccines should be approved at all, especially for younger age groups.

As it is, hardly anyone knows that these are the Government’s own data on serious vaccine reactions, and governments are making no obvious effort to tell them.

So, it’s one cheer for the German Government for actually doing something to raise awareness of serious vaccine side effects. But next time, maybe use the actual data, rather than a figure that’s 15 times smaller.

He did seem to try to roll back the state. How effective was he behind the scenes? Hard to say and whatever he did, it was nowhere near enough.

I do remember John Redwood as a controversial figure but I couldn’t recall the details. This brief synopsis provides a good background history.

At least Redwood stuck to his guns and was from a genuine Conservative mould. Far rather politicians such as Redwood than the easily bought toadies occupying the benches in Westminster.

He has stood against Nut Zero and immigration and for that he has my respect.

I am afraid there are fewer and fewer left in government who are not group think toadies. No one gives a sh.t whether there is global warming or not. They all just blend in with herd. When all around you say there is a climate emergency then you better say the same or you won’t be there. In group think there can be no room for individuality. Redwood having come from the Thatcher era would have wanted the truth on this issue, just as Thatcher realised after initially thinking global warming was mostly settled science and wanted to use Nuclear Energy rather than coal because it had zero CO2 emissions, she later come to understand how it was being used to create what she called “Supranational Socialism” and had the courage to change her stance on it.

It was a shame nuclear was not continued. At least 25% would have provided a reliable energy source at a known cost.

also, in those days, we could and would have built the plants in this country adding value instead of bleeding the economy to pay France and China.

I think you will find he was snd is a conservative. I suppose he will remain a Conservative. I hope that if anyone gets a peerage he is top of the list.

critics of his achievements, as also Mrs Thatcher, would do well to check the scale of the problems they faced.

Good riddance to another Tory timeserver who talked the talk but trod the Party line at the end of the day. He and all the other Tory MPs who have played to the centre Right gallery haven’t managed to halt in the slightest the slide of the party to the Left over the last 30 years. What they have done is play a vital role in keeping lots of dim witted centre Right voters on side whils the Party moved Leftwards.

Quite. People say the Con’s will have a 1997 wipe out, but there is little mention of the probable further destruction of our personal sovereignty by the potential labour majority, as further degradational steps will ensue in direct comparisons to those taken by the Blair Directorate as Stage 1.

From all that I have read about Sir John Redwood in the news over the years, he has been a steadfast patriot, quietly but firmly defending the rights of the Indigenous British people, and deserved his knighthood, unlike many others.

As author Will Jones pointed out, “It is a reflection of the sorry state of the Conservative Party that he was never offered a Government office since the Tories returned to power in 2010. The party needs more MPs like him, who stand on principle for freedom and national sovereignty, not fewer.”

In truth, the fact that he was never offered a Cabinet position shows how much the Fake Conservatives in power feared him as a strong, genuine Conservative, and he can hold his head high.

And he was also in The Bruges Group. A long time campaigner against the expansionist EU. If proper old school conservatives were in the cabinet in 2020, the Lockdown fascism would’ve never got off the ground.

Has anybody seen this new documentary yet? I’ve watched half so far and it’s very interesting. Unlike many posters on here I’m not very well read on the subject so this works for a noob like me. Recommended ( link in article );

”A NEW film blows apart the elite’s plan to enslave humanity in global communism.
Richard Jeffs, a former ITV producer and director of photography, who is now an independent investigative filmmaker and a tech company CEO, has produced ‘Stakeholder Communism’, which he says “proves irrefutably that we’re more than one-third of our 10-year transition to full global communism”.

Jeffs, who also produced the documentary The New Normal in 2020, has spent the past 16 months making the film that investigates our new political system, Stakeholder Capitalism, that was enacted in 2020 by the WEF elite members and is now mandated by governments across the world.

Jeffs told News Uncut: “The film proves irrefutably that we’re over one-third of our 10-year transition to full global communism.
“For it to be conveyed irrefutably, I ensured every part of the story was either explained by Klaus Schwab and his Stakeholders, or referenced in a World Economic Forum report. I refrained from featuring third-party anecdotal interviews to prevent any doubt. Writing and editing the film in this style will help more people understand what’s happening.
“To protect their ideology, I’ve noticed that people who are affected by the Stakeholder Capitalism propaganda often display aggressive behaviour. This is a key indicator that Stakeholder Capitalism is an ideology – in addition to the obvious; no one voted for it.”

Just think, if John Redwood had beaten John Major in the 1995 leadership election, we might have been spared the Blair disaster and much else. Those fake Tory MPs have a lot to answer for.

I think a large number of MPs who are not standing are running away, too. They might have a frisson of shame and / or anxiety about their actions / none actions since March 2020 but running away won’t erase the damage they caused to the U.K. and to the people. Running away won’t erase the memories, either.
Never forgive. Never forget.

From what I saw earlier on X from Andrew Bridgen it seems that Rishi does not want to be a wartime PM. Andrew states clearly that we are at war with Russia, it’s not the Ukrainians firing Storm Shadow at targets inside Russia’s borders.

Sorry to hear about John Redwood, he’s been an unwavering Conservative MP for almost 40 years.

Not up to date with Andrew Bridgen on the Russia debacle but he needs to be careful. We are not at war with Russia and have no reason to be.

Fishy and Bozo might be at war but so far they are showing a great reluctance to buckle up and get on the front lines.

Stay out of this Mr Bridgen.

His view is based on how the Russians see the use of UK weapons fired from Ukraine across their borders. It suggests that our military are on the ground doing the work needed to target them as the Ukrainians have not had time to be trained to do it themselves.

I’m unsure if this is correct, but there certainly is an exodus going on and I’m sure Rishi can read the polling numbers even if they are biased against him (which had been a tendency for many years when people are asked about supporting a party that is socially unacceptable to many).

A lot of nasty things going on.

I remember from some time in 1995 seeing a piece of wood in my father’s workshop upon which he had scribbled four MPs’ names. I always assumed it was his predictions for Prime Minister. Redwood was at the top. Major was at the bottom. Can’t remember the other two. Maybe Heath was one.

What a charade it all is…

Sorry to see him go. I wish him well, whatever he’s going to do with himself!

The press are making far too much of the numbers of MP’s standing down. They are mostly old men and women, typically in their 60’s. Of course they look to retire; standing again means a 5 year commitment and who of us can really say we’d do it when we are near, or past, retirement age and comfortably off?
Redwood was always a controversial figure and I haven’t always agreed with him but he is an honourable person and stands by what he believes is right. For that alone he should be appreciated even by the most ardent of Tory haters. There are very, very few in Parliament who actually believe in anything whatsoever, most certainly Starmer doesn’t.

I suppose Redwood is controversial, if you think a Conservative Party should encourage conservative policies. Good heavens, what ever next!

I’ve concluded that the Party became fed up with sorting out the mess that Labour and the Unions left behind, leading Cameron to think, ‘if you can’t beat’em, join’ em, and to extend the fantasy of ‘spending, until you run out of other people’s money’, and their will to think constructively, let alone act upon it.

How people think that Parliament can overule the Laws of Physics, or force particular behaviours on the public (which is different from discouraging some behaviours), or expect the responsibility for large infrastructure projects are possible with negligible knowledge or experience of Engineering or Business, or that the Frankfurt School had some particularly encouraging ideas, points to needing a General Election, without his A-Lists, of course.
