COVID-19, Flu Vaccines Taken Together Linked to Stroke Risk

by Richard Eldred
30 October 2023 9:00 AM

According to the Epoch Times, a growing number of studies indicate that individuals may be at a heightened risk of stroke when they receive both COVID-19 and influenza vaccines simultaneously. Here’s how the article begins:

Researchers with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently said they identified an increased risk of stroke for some elderly people who received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines concomitantly with a high-dose/adjuvanted influenza vaccine.

An increased risk for people under 65 was found for people who received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and a flu shot on the same day, researchers with Kaiser Permanente reported soon after.

Safety monitoring by the FDA and the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) previously found a safety signal for Pfizer’s bivalent vaccine and ischemic stroke, a type of stroke caused by blood clotting, authorities said in January. And files obtained by the Epoch Times showed the CDC in 2022 detected a signal for the original Moderna and Pfizer vaccines and ischemic stroke among adults.

The link between the vaccines and stroke, according to authorities, is not yet proven, but some experts say the papers boost the position of spacing out shots to reduce the risk of side effects.

“That’s a reasonable thing to do,” Dr. William Schaffner, who advises the CDC on vaccines, told CNN.

Dr. Peter Marks, a top FDA official, told a recent conference that he would space out the influenza, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus vaccines to lessen the risk of adverse events.

“Oftentimes, we suggest if you want to minimise the chance of interactions and minimise confusing side effects from one with another, you wait about two weeks between the vaccines,” he said.

More adults reported adverse events after receiving Pfizer’s vaccine and a seasonal inactivated influenza together than after receiving either vaccine alone, Australian researchers said in another recent study.

Dr. David Boulware, an infectious disease expert at the University of Minnesota Medical School, told the Epoch Times in an email that he generally recommends receiving the COVID-19 and influenza vaccines on separate occasions “so as to not have one vaccine blunt the response of the other”.

One study, for example, found co-administered vaccines induced lower levels of antibodies, which are believed to protect against illnesses.

Oh my life. So the masses now need to be told that taking a risk at the same time as taking another risk, might increase risk? Jesus. Anyone started building an Arc yet?

Really worthwhile read especially for our “scientist” members.

One member of my family has just had a stroke, another one has severe dementia as an indirect side effect of a second Pfizer jab. A close friend died from aggressive cancer that should have been treatable. I have a number of friends incapacitated by vaccine cocktails some years ago……why is it taking so long for the medical establishment to wake up?

I think it likely they have woken up, but fear the consequences so are being very quiet. Self denial is very common.

An old colleague of mine had a stroke soon after him taking the jab under consideration, which he was quite keen on doing. However, in his case it was not the first stroke he had – he had a history of temporary strokes (TIA), over the last decade or so. I haven’t rattled the cage by suggesting that it might not have been a good idea to use the C19 jab at all, in his circumstances, and presumably his quack didn’t advise him not to either.

Big pharma really is the modern equivalent of the carpet bagger. Why is anyone taking either flu or COVID shots?

As much as I am against the vaccine propaganda and desinformation campaigns by the media and governements, we cannot fail the truth if we are to have any credibility to fight the real desinformation. Let’s not use the data as in Mark Twain’s “damn lies and statistics.”
The conclusions of the article, mentioned at the end of the article clearly concludes:
“Conclusions and Relevance  In this cohort study of health care workers who received a COVID-19 vaccine, an influenza vaccine, or both, coadministration was not associated with substantially inferior immune response or to more frequent adverse events compared with COVID-19 vaccine administration alone, supporting the coadministration of these vaccines.“

When Andrew Wakefield suggested spacing out the MMR vaccines in 1998, he became pharma’s enemy #1 and was vilified and made an example of. His was a lone voice.

With so many experts now giving similar advice for flu/covid jabs, the evidence must be compelling and concerning, and I wonder if pharma will fight back or quietly let this one go?
