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.

      My mother too. Haven’t talked to her in 2 years because she went hard with me on how bad the vaccine is and challenged my college education and ability to think critically/do research, ultimately calling me gullible and stupid. It’s worth noting she dropped out of middle school and never even got her GED.

        Yeah the last real conversation I had with my brother was a couple years ago. It ended after I told him he’s a danger to himself and his kids. We’ve interacted in passing a couple times like when I visit other family but it is bad vibes all around
