The CDC has released the first comprehensive study of the side effects experienced by patients receiving the new COVID vaccinations this week. Although these trends were recorded during the initial approval trials, they were a relatively small number of people. In this study, the effects of almost 14 million people were recorded. Although none of the vaccines present serious medical problems and are still considered safe, many patients reported some adverse effects within the hours and days after they were pinned. But the most curious figure that emerges in the study is that women seem to experience negative side effects significantly more frequently than men. (CBS San Francisco)
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the results of a study that examined the first 13.7 million people who received the vaccine, and found that women experience worse side effects than men.
Of the patients who reported side effects such as fatigue, injection site soreness, fever or chills to the agency, 79.1% were women, although 61.2% of the people were vaccinated …
The CDC study does not determine exactly when women experience more intense side effects than men. But the overall findings are consistent with research on other vaccines.
The full report on the study is available here from the CDC. The study was conducted between 14 December 2020 and 13 January 2021. Only the vaccines Pfizer and Moderna were studied, as the Johnson & Johnson vaccine had not yet removed the emergency approvals for approval at that time.
The good news is that 90.8% of the side effects that patients experience are classified as “nonsensical”, while only 9.2% were described as serious. The two most common side effects were headache and fatigue, while a slightly smaller percentage of patients reported dizziness. 113 deaths after vaccination were recorded, with the vast majority of them among residents of old age homes. In no case is it believed that the vaccines are responsible for the deaths.
Coming back to the gender gap, 61.2% of vaccinations were administered to women, but female patients accounted for 78.7% of the reports of adverse side effects. That seems statistically significant, doesn’t it? Since I am not a doctor, I can not even guess what may be different between male and female patients that causes one sex to suffer worse results than the other. But when I spoke strictly as an armchair quarterback and a layman, I wondered if the number of patients experiencing side effects was actually equal to both sexes, but some of the men in the study were just too stubborn to admit that they ‘do not feel good. (My wife, who is also not a doctor, immediately dismissed the proposal, saying that men are by far the bigger “whiners” when they get sick.)
Another interesting piece of data that came to light in the study is that most reports of side effects were recorded after the second survey, which appeared almost twice as frequently as the reports after the first survey. This is in line with anecdotal evidence I heard online and from a number of published media reports. And according to medical authorities, this phenomenon is not only predicted, but is actually a positive sign that your immune system has caused a reaction.
These common symptoms are usually signs that your immune system is responding to the vaccine.
And that’s what it’s supposed to do.
“When you feel sick or have a fever, it usually reacts to your body,” said Dr. Debra Powell, head of infectious diseases at Tower Health in Pennsylvania, told Healthline. “It’s usually a very short-term thing and much better than getting COVID and being sick or in the hospital for two weeks.”
You can read the whole report yourself, but the general news seems to remain good. Serious side effects were minimal and usually included other, underlying medical conditions. Let us now let the numbers come so that the government will be forced to cancel all the mask mandates and the rest of this rubbish. Personally, I plan to burn all my masks in the campfire during the Fourth of July celebration of our family.
