Results confirm how uncommon known complications are as researchers confirm benefits from vaccines still ‘vastly outweigh the risks’

Two new but exceptionally rare Covid-19 vaccine side effects – a neurological disorder and inflammation of the spinal cord – have been detected by researchers in the largest vaccine safety study to date.

The study of more than 99 million people from Australia, Argentina, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, New Zealand and Scotland also confirmed how rare known vaccine complications are, with researchers confirming that the benefits of Covid-19 vaccines still “vastly outweigh the risks”.

Researchers working as part of the Global Vaccine Data Network used deidentified electronic healthcare data to compare the rates of 13 brain, blood and heart conditions in people after they received the Pfizer, Moderna or AstraZeneca vaccine with the rate that would be expected of those conditions in the population before the pandemic.

    Being the petty person I can be at times, someone on ye olde reddit posted a list of people who “died from the vaccine” and listed… 23 names I think it was? I looked up all the information I could on all 23 and concluded 2 of them I couldn’t definitively say what their cause of death was, but not a single one pointed to the vaccine (and a not-insignificant number wouldn’t have even had access to the vaccine in their country at the time they supposedly died from it.)

    I know it didn’t change their mind because hand wave reasons

      Yea I’ve literally had old coworkers who are good people, state stupid shit like this, saying how they know 5 or 6 people who personally died from the vaccine. It’s insane how disconnected these people are sometimes.
