The Global Vaccine Data Network examined health conditions in nearly 100 million people. Even though the vaccine’s side effects were known, rare, and nothing new, they should be publicly acknowledged due to the risks involved for taking them. However, the fact that the immunization’s side effects is garnering massive news coverage is somewhat concerning.

What should be of note is that research or information being made public like this would have been prohibited two years ago. It is also abundantly clear that not only should the vaccine never have been required, experts and policy makers should have waited for more comprehensive studies of the vaccine and its outcomes before recommending people get immunized.

Interestingly enough, the study did recommend research on other illnesses too.

But the study also warned of several other disorders that they said warranted further investigation, including the links between a brain-swelling condition and Moderna’s shot.

Still, the team says the absolute risk of developing any one of the condition remains small. For instance, 13 billion doses of vaccines have been administered and there have only been 2,000 cases of all conditions.

Dr Harlan Krumholz, director of the Yale New Haven Hospital Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation and a lead investigator behind the study, said: ‘Both things can be true.

‘They can save millions of lives, and there can be a small number of people who’ve been adversely affected.’

With all of this in mind, it is likely that people will contract the COVID-19 or a similar coronavirus and it may be more than once. However, Dr. Mark Siegel delivered a very a good observation to Fox News noting that, like many decisions in life, deciding to get vaccinated involves tradeoffs:

“It always comes down to a risk/benefit analysis of what you are more afraid of — the vaccine’s side effects or the virus itself, which can have long-term side effects in terms of brain fog, fatigue, cough and also heart issues,” he said.

“Denying or exaggerating a vaccine’s side effects is not good science — nor is underestimating the risks of the virus, especially in high-risk groups,” Siegel added.
