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.

Cue 20 million people claiming this happened to several people they know.

See, my cousin's uncle in law's boss's ex wife's nephew's tailor's butcher's 2nd cousin thrice removed's weed dealer totally had this

If my mother hears about this she's going to start screaming about blood clots again.

[–] TedJ70@aussie.zone 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Incidence of thrombosis was much higher in people who contracted COVID, mind you.

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah and the “documentary” on it is complete bullshit.

[–] chaosppe@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

On this note. It has happened to me, I still tell people to take it. Just not astrazenica one (I have a support group and it seems to be 90% Astrazenica) Take pfizer pls. My case is extremely extremity rare, and I was paid out by the government for it so it could be worse.

[–] MagicShel@programming.dev 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Great. Now I'm one of the assholes who knows someone. Lol. Seriously, hope things are alright now.

[–] chaosppe@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Haha! It's all good. I won't be normaI, but like you adjust and it becomes normal. just wish it wasn't so controversial these days.😉

[–] Wolf_359@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Could you share what happened to you and your support group members? Just curious! If you don't want to, no worries.

[–] chaosppe@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Sure! I got the Astrazenica jab in my mid 20's. Even though I had previously been infected with covid; this is because I was a care worker at the time so I wanted to keep the community safe.

I started getting issues over the next week with my eyes and legs, I was having a weird pain in my eye when I moved it to the side and my legs where also painful. My GP recommended to get some blood tests done.

Before I was able to complete the blood tests I woke up one morning and was unable to pee. I spoke to my GP and they told me to go to the hospital, I was admitted and cathaterised. Over the next week and a half my condition got worse and doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me.

I was losing my ability to move the lower half of my body and eventually lost all feeling in it during this time, my eyesight also started going blurry.

Finally they moved me to a neurology hospital in the centre of London and figured out my condition, it was called nuromeyeltis optica. This condition is where my immune system attacked my nerves in my spinal cord and also my optic nerve.

They put me on a huge dose of steroids to stop my immune system, and used a plasma transfusion to try and flush my system of the anti bodies.

It took me months to learn to walk again, as I spent a total of 2 months in hospital and then rehabilitation.

I'm mostly normal now, you wouldn't know I was different if you saw me, other than I still have to use Cathaters to pee, suppositories to poop and my nerves still cause me great pain. So I'm really very uncomfortable tbh.

Fortunetly my eyes fixed themselves very fast, but I have a very small blind spot that honestly I don't notice.

The government paid me out via the Vaccine Damage Scheme after 2 years worth £120,000, in which they sent me a 50 page report. Stating that it was due to the vaccine and what % of disability they thought I had. It was actually between 50-80% as they weighted in mental strain very highly and my age was considered young (although a dinusour on the Internet I'm sure lmao)

Anyway that's what happened to me. It still so weird to think it's such a rare case, I'm one out of I believe 100-200 people that had a successful vaccine damage payment scheme in the UK.

Pining for the fjords?

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I work with someone who’s convinced she got GBS from the vaccine.

[–] june@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

They will all find the 6th degreee separated person and they’ll all claim they know the person and that one person will represent 3 million people.
