Brits claim AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine causes them to lose teeth and develop flatulence, MailOnline may reveal.
The UK’s drug regulator, which practices the safety of Covid jabs, has also reported that vaccinated Britons are screaming, yawning or crying afterwards.
Officials are asking people to report their health problems after being vaccinated, if a serious side effect arises. But the list of alleged 65-page responses is full of strangeness.
And some of these are even more common than medical problems. Rare brain blood clots that frightened German regulators have been reported five times, while six people reported ‘teeth’ and 42 claimed crying was a side effect.
The head of the Regulatory Agency (Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency) (MHRA) says ‘the suspected reactions described in this report are not proven side effects of Covid vaccines’. But it is kept on record, if it later turns out to be linked.
The scandal swept around the jab last week after more than a dozen European countries stopped using it because they feared it was linked to deadly blood clots.
Regulators, however, dismissed the fears, saying blood clots do not occur more often than usual, and the fact that the people were recently vaccinated was just coincidental. The ruling forced most countries in Europe to reverse their ban.
The bizarre list comes from the yellow card reports submitted to the MHRA, which assess the safety of the vaccine as it is being rolled out. MHRA officials say ‘the alleged reactions described in this report are not proven side effects of Covid-19 vaccines’.
The bizarre list of side effects comes from the yellow card reports given to the MHRA, which assess the safety of the vaccine as it is rolled out.
It has so far kept track of all the possible side effects that kept up among the first 11.7 million people who got the Oxford / AstraZeneca jab in the UK.
The reactions include common side effects, such as headaches, fever and muscle aches, which have been reported thousands of times, and which are known to be normal, affecting and clearing up more than one in 10 people.
More serious health problems or causes of death are also included, such as stroke, heart attack and sepsis – although none are linked to the jab.
The reason that serious illnesses and deaths are recorded in the vaccination report is to make sure that they do not occur more frequently than in the normal population.
With this type of monitoring, the MHRA was able to respond quickly last week, claiming that the jab causes blood clots, and this could prove that they do not happen frequently.
In addition to these side effects and medical problems, people strangely also report normal things that happen to them after the vaccination or even changes in their private life.
Two people reported that they retired after submitting the vaccine to the yellow card system.
One person reported ‘tobacco use’, indicating that they started smoking and attempted to link it to the vaccine, while another reported that their diet had failed.
Five Britons said they were bitten or stung by an insect, 42 reported crying attacks and three said they left screaming.
Physical effects that are more closely related to medical problems but seem highly unlikely to be linked to a Covid vaccine include excessive blinking (one), discolored eyes (four), growing teeth (six) and teeth lost (one).
Thirty-nine people said they lost weight after vaccination compared to three who gained weight.
And 102 people reported flatulence as a possible side effect, while 558 simply said they ‘felt abnormal’ but did not explain.
The MHRA explained that most of what people say in the yellow card reports is not linked to the vaccine at all.
It says: ‘The yellow card scheme is a mechanism by which any person can voluntarily report any suspected side effects or side effects to the vaccine.
‘It is very important to note that a yellow card report does not necessarily mean that the vaccine caused the reaction or event.
‘We ask that any suspicions be reported, even if the reporter is not sure if it was caused by the vaccine. Reports on the scheme are known as alleged adverse reactions.
‘Many suspected ADRs reported on a yellow card have no connection to the vaccine or medicine, and it is often coincidental that both occurred at about the same time.
‘The reports are constantly reviewed to identify possible new side effects that require regulatory action, and to distinguish them from things that would have happened regardless of the vaccine or medicine administered, for example due to underlying or undiagnosed disease .
“It is therefore important that the alleged ADRs described in this report are not interpreted as proven side effects of Covid-19 vaccines.”
People can report their symptoms to a vaccine via the MHRA website of the yellow card report and anyone who has had a sting can do so.
The focus on possible side effects of the AstraZeneca vaccine came to light last week when more than a dozen countries in Europe suspended the use of the jab due to fear of blood clots.
Officials were concerned that the jab could be linked to a type of deadly blood clot called cerebral sinus thrombosis.
It occurs when the vein that carries blood from the brain is blocked by a blood clot, which results in potentially fatal bleeding on the brain. Former US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton developed one in 2012 and made a complete recovery.
Symptoms can rapidly weaken from headache, blurred vision and fainting to complete loss of control over movement and seizures.
Regulators have asked people to call their doctor if they have a headache for four days or longer after getting a Covid jab.
However, according to UK health chiefs, CSVT is so rare that experts are not even sure how common it is in the general population.
Mr. Dr. Raine, head of the MHRA, said the blood clots in the vaccines could also have been caused by Covid, rather than the vaccine.
John Hopkins University estimates that CSVT affects five out of every million people in the U.S. each year, indicating that 330 patients in Britain suffer from the condition each year.
According to the university, it can affect patients with low blood pressure, cancer, vascular disease and those prone to blood clotting. Head injuries can also cause the condition.
The MHRA said five of the 11 million Britons injected developed cerebral sinus thrombosis (CSVT). The cases were all men between 19 and 59 years old and one was fatal.
Europe’s own drug watchdog noticed three additional 13 reports of CSVT in the vaccinated population of the continent.
After an investigation, the European Medicines Agency concluded that there was no evidence that the vaccine increased the risk of CSVT or blood clots in general, and told countries to continue using the sting.
Most countries have lifted their bans, except Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
Dr Raine said: ‘There is no evidence that blood clots in veins occur more than would be expected in the absence of vaccination for any of the vaccines.
‘We have received a very small number of reports of an extremely rare form of blood clot in the cerebral veins (sinus vein thrombosis, or CSVT) that occurs shortly after vaccination along with reduced platelets.
‘This type of blood clot can occur naturally in people who have not been vaccinated, as well as in those who suffer from Covid-19.
‘Given the extremely rare occurrence of these CSVT events among the 11 million people vaccinated, and if a link to the vaccine is not proven, the benefits of the vaccine to prevent Covid-19 remain, with the associated risk for hospitalization and death, continue. to exceed the risks of possible side effects.
