The Covid vaccines are not all they were cracked up to be. Some good. Some bad…

Largest Covid vaccine study yet finds up to 3 times greater risk

Covid vaccines have been linked to small increases in heart, blood, and neurological disorders, according to the largest global study of its kind. An international coalition of vaccine experts looked for 13 medical conditions among 99 million vaccine recipients across eight countries in order to identify higher rates of those conditions after receiving the shots. They confirmed that the shots made by Pfizer , Moderna , and AstraZeneca are linked to significantly higher risk of five medical conditions - including a nerve-wasting condition that leaves people struggling to walk or think.

'They can save millions of lives, and there can be a small number of people who¿ve been adversely affected.¿ Covid vaccines are estimated to have averted more than 19 million deaths worldwide, including three million in the US alone. Among their discoveries was a twofold increase in the risk of a neurological condition known as Guillain-Barre syndrome , an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the body's peripheral nervous system, leading to damage to the protective casing around nerve cells.

Myocarditis was seen most commonly in young men. It's believed to be related to immune response triggered my the mRNA vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna, which work by instructing cells to produce the same protein that sits atop the coronavirus. This prompts the immune system to produce antibodies against the spike protein, providing protection against Covid. In rare cases, this immune response may lead to inflammation in the heart muscle. Typically, the myocarditis instances have been relatively mild, leading to just 28 deaths.
