Heard the rumors that COVID vaccinations can cause some rather nasty health problems? Well, a recently conducted study of 99 million vaccinated people in eight different countries confirms that the COVID-19 shots may have done more harm than good.

The study, conducted by an international research project by the Global Vaccine Data Network, was published on February 12 in the journal Vaccine.

Researchers analyzed the negative reactions of vaccines by Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca, all of which were given in four doses.

All showed at least some “higher than expected adverse reactions” for the first dose.
The highest increase seen was for the risk and adverse reactions of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the sac around the heart.)

However, other negative responses were seen as well.

These include Guillian-Barre syndrome, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.

If you’re not in the medical field, the first, Guillian-Barr syndrome, is a rare but dangerous disease that attacks the body’s nerves via the immune system.

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis mainly affects children’s central nervous system and inflames it. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a blood clot in a vein in the brain, which can cause a stroke.

Also mentioned in the report are Bell’s palsy (facial paralysis), transverse myelitis (spinal cord inflammation), idiopathic thrombocytopenia (increased bruising and bleeding), thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), splanchnic vein thrombosis (abdominal vein clotting), pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs) and differing seizures.

Needless to say, none of these are fun, and all of them could be life-threatening—definitely an adverse reaction.

Now, the study did point out that some of these issues are also increased just by getting the COVID-19 infection itself, so that must be taken into account.

However, it still doesn’t look good for the various vaccines, either.
