Covid Vaccines Linked to Large Increase in Heart, Blood and Neurological Disorders, Major Study Finds

by Will Jones
20 February 2024 3:48 PM

Covid vaccines have been linked to significant increases in heart, blood and neurological disorders, according to the largest global study of its kind to date. The Mail has more.

An international coalition of vaccine experts looked for 13 medical conditions among 99 million vaccine recipients across eight countries in order to identify higher rates of those conditions after receiving the shots.

They confirmed that the shots made by Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca are linked to significantly higher risk of five medical conditions – including a nerve-wasting condition that leaves people struggling to walk or think.

But the study also warned of several other disorders that they said warranted further investigation, including the links between a brain-swelling condition and Moderna’s shot.

Still, the team says the absolute risk of developing any one of the condition remains small. For instance, 13 billion doses of vaccines have been administered and there have only been 2,000 cases of all conditions. …

Meanwhile, the study also confirmed a threefold higher risk for a type of heart inflammation called myocarditis, though researchers did not give the number of expected cases versus actual cases.

Myocarditis was seen most commonly in young men. It’s believed to be related to immune response triggered my the mRNA vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna, which work by instructing cells to produce the same protein that sits atop the coronavirus. 

This prompts the immune system to produce antibodies against the spike protein, providing protection against Covid. In rare cases, this immune response may lead to inflammation in the heart muscle. …

There was a greater than 3.7 times risk of a condition called Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM), which causes swelling in the brain and spinal cord that damages the protective covering of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord, after the first dose of the Moderna vaccine. …

The study also found that after getting the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, there were 1.9 and 3.9 times increased risks of transverse myelitis and ADEM, respectively.

Bell’s palsy, which causes temporary weakness or paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face, had an increased odds of 1.05 after a first dose of the Pfizer vaccine. 

There was also a 1.3 to 1.4 times greater risk of having a seizure following the first and second doses of the Moderna vaccine, as well as the fourth dose of the Pfizer vaccine.  …

After a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, there was a 3.2-times-greater than expected risk of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST).

The risks after the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine and after the second dose were 1.49 and 1.25 times higher.

Worth reading in full.

The researchers tried to soften their findings by claiming that Covid vaccines have saved 19 million lives, though critics have said this figure is based on counterfactual modelling with assumptions about vaccine efficacy that are unrealistic.

The researchers also noted that Covid infection was much worse than vaccination for many side-effects: “Chances of having a neurological event following acute SARS-CoV-2 infection were up to 617-fold higher than following Covid vaccination, suggesting that the benefits of vaccination substantially outweigh the risks.”

But even if this is taken at face value, it ignores that the infection rate was typically higher not lower in the vaccinated and the risks will add on top of one another.

The study was published in the journal Vaccine. 

Pathologist Dr. Clare Craig was not impressed with the study. In a tweet that has been viewed over 100,000 times, the author of Expired – Covid the untold story branded the paper “a joke”. Aside from the claim to have saved “cardboard cutout lives” based on “laughable modelling”, Dr. Craig said the authors’ handling of the data was “dishonest” because they hid the crucial difference between the first and second 21 days after inoculation.

“For the first 21 days or more all events are lower because of the healthy vaccinee effect,” the medic explained. The healthy vaccinee effect is the known phenomenon where people who are currently sick don’t get vaccinated, artificially lowering the incidence of all disease in the first several weeks after vaccination. The authors know this, notes Dr. Craig, which is why they “looked at 0-7 days, 8-21 days and 22-42 days separately”.

However, despite having done this analysis, the researchers then only included in the paper the data for the whole period, thus cancelling out many of the problems that would have turned up in the second 21 days via the healthy vaccinee effect lowering incidence in the first 21 days.

“For this manuscript, we present results for the risk interval of 0-42 days only,” wrote the authors.

Despite pulling this trick, they “still found problems”, notes Dr. Craig.

Latest vaccine safety paper is a joke.

First they justify the deaths and harm by claiming cardboard cutout lives were saved based on laughable modelling.

Then they are dishonest with the data.

For the first 21 days or more all events are lower because of healthy vaccinee…

..”vaccines have saved 19 million lives, though critics have said this figure is based on counterfactual modelling with assumptions about vaccine efficacy that are unrealistic.”

And not forgetting a vast global mountain of molested death data.

In the UK alone official government figures were 137,000 Covid deaths between Feb 2020 and Dec 2021.

Norman Fenton’s FOI request to the ONS for deaths directly from Covid for the same period: 6,183.

Nothing says scam like the figures.

The quackcines have never saved anyone for 200 years.

Rona:
150.000 dead post the stabs in the UK.

Maybe pace Fenton 6 K dead from Rona, in some modeling / FOI interaction with the ONS, I had 20 K dead, ONS thought 25 K.

In reality the exact opposite of what these criminals claimed occurred.

The stabs 150 K, Rona 6-25 K.

Agree 100%.
But the bigger question is how many people have been killed and injured by vaccines – Medical Science’s biggest contribution the health of mankind over that time. Lol.
And continuing – with the help of the captured MSM and medics everywhere.

What a surprise. More evidence that it’s not a good idea to believe in the sales people that something is so good that we’ve short cut the normal safety assessments etc.

The mail had this story but they span it as no big deal and claimed adverse reactions to the vaccines were very small, something that nearly all the subsequent posts commenting disagreed with.

This was the sentence that jumped out:
“Still, the team says the absolute risk of developing any one of the condition remains small. For instance, 13 billion doses of vaccines have been administered and there have only been 2,000 cases of all conditions. …”???
What nonsense!
Who wrote this? The journalist or author of the paper?
I suppose the good news is that harms are now mainstream, although still being downplayed.
Wonder what will happen when the majority discovers what is going on…

This is only the tip of the iceberg.

Wouldn’t it have been nice if they’d properly trialled these dangerous jabs BEFORE injecting them into millions of people who derived no benefit from them whatsoever because they were at NO RISK from Covid?

I wonder, having now dropped the “effective” bollocks, when Sunak is going to say the jabs are “relatively safe?”

Repeat after me, “The vaccines are safe and effective” (ha ha ha). A man from the Government told me.

I buy the Saturday version of this rag, mostly to get the TV schedule, sports news and crucially for tinder to start the woodburner each day. So full of waffle, slanted reporting and jaundiced views. Boris Johnston has a a couple of pages, say no more! Much more true insight on this news-site and others on-line like UK Column.
