New Study Reveals Increased Health Risks Linked to COVID-19 Vaccines
A multinational study involving nearly 100 million people has identified elevated risks of heart conditions, blood clots, and neurological disorders following COVID-19 vaccination.
- A new multinational study involving nearly 100 million people has found increased risks of heart conditions, blood clots, and neurological disorders linked to COVID-19 vaccines.
- The study, supported by the CDC and the Department of Health and Human Services, identified elevated risks of myocarditis, pericarditis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis among others.
- Researchers observed significant increases in myocarditis and pericarditis risks following mRNA vaccinations, with the highest risk after the second dose of the Moderna vaccine.
- The study's large population size was crucial in identifying rare potential vaccine safety signals, emphasizing the importance of extensive data for detecting such risks.
- Despite the identified risks, the study suggests that the overall risk-benefit evaluation of vaccination should consider the higher risk of developing these conditions from SARS-CoV-2 infection than from vaccination.
