Global Study Reveals Small Increase in Heart and Brain Risks Linked to COVID Vaccines

The largest global vaccine safety study involving nearly 100 million COVID-19-vaccinated individuals across eight countries has identified small increases in health conditions involving the brain, blood, and heart following vaccination, emphasizing that the chances of these conditions are still very low. The study confirmed pre-established links between COVID-19 vaccinations and low risks of specific conditions, while also identifying potential safety signals for rare adverse events. The research underscores the need for comprehensive vaccine safety monitoring, as very rare adverse events associated with COVID-19 vaccines may only come to light after administration to millions of individuals.

AstraZeneca's Covid vaccine linked to rare blood syndrome and deaths.

A 32-year-old psychologist in Britain died of blood clots and thrombocytopenia 10 days after receiving his first dose of AstraZeneca's Covid vaccine, according to a report by a London coroner. The report found that the psychologist died as a result of "unintended consequences of vaccination." The blood-clotting syndrome is a rare side effect of the AstraZeneca vaccine, estimated to occur in one in 50,000 people under 40 and one in 100,000 over 40. Experts still strongly recommend vaccination, saying that the risks of the vaccine are dwarfed by the risks of the coronavirus itself.
