How safe are the COVID vaccines? (updated)
The CDC ‘fact sheet’ mentions nothing about the COVID vaccine type being the number-one leader in reported congenital anomalies/birth defects and emergency room visits.Mon Mar 15, 2021 – 7:47 am EST
March 15, 2021 (American Thinker) — I’ll bet you haven’t heard this: more congenital anomalies/birth defects and emergency room visits were reported after getting a COVID vaccine in the U.S. than after any of the other 93 vaccine types in the CDC’s VAERS database. And more deaths than 92 other vaccine types.
Here is how COVID vaccines rank among 94 vaccine types in terms of reported post-vaccine adverse effects.
- Congenital anomaly/birth defect: 1.
- Emergency room: 1.
- Death: 2.
- Life threatening: 5.
- “Serious” adverse effects: 7.
- Hospitalized: 10.
- Permanent disability: 12.
- Total adverse effects: 15.
See that 144 such effects were reported in total, from all vaccines over all time tracked by the VAERS database. COVID vaccines account for 37 of them, or over 25%.
Of 23,950 emergency room visits following some kind of vaccination, the COVID vaccines accounted for 4,969, or over 20%. Of 11,559 deaths after getting some type of vaccine, COVID vaccines accounted for 1,153 of them, or almost 10%, and more than 92 of the 93 other vaccine types.
So we can’t say the vaccines caused these effects. These effects just happened to follow shortly after the vaccines were given.
One thing to keep in mind with these numbers is that COVID vaccines have been around for less than three months. Most of the other 93 vaccine types have been in use for years. The Pfizer vaccine was authorized for emergency use on December 11, 2020, Moderna on Dec. 18, and Jannsen on February 27, 2021. And most doses were not given until late February. More than half the doses given to date (March 10) were given in the last month (since Feb. 10).
