21 Surveys of Side Effects Following Vaccination Showing Shocking Rates of *SEVERE* Adverse Events

From heart conditions to menstrual irregularities, it's not only the rate of systemic side effects that's stratospheric

I wrote an earlier version of this article, but it did not include text descriptions of the highlighted data. There are also a few other additions or clarifications added to this version.

---

Although the establishment has been forced to concede that many of the injuries long denied to have any association to the covid vaccines can indeed be caused by the covid vaccines, they still insist that they are exceedingly rare.

The following compilation of studies are all surveys of a defined cohort of vaccine recipients where the rates of severe adverse events - or something that is a good proxy for a severe adverse event - are orders of magnitude greater than the proffered “exceedingly rare” rates in the ballpark of 1/100,000 proffered by the medical establishment.

For each study I am including the title, link, the highlights, and a screenshot/s of the highlighted data in the study (if one is readily available); I also included an excerpt from the study text if it directly described highlighted results.

At the end of the article there is a more detailed explanation of the virtues and limitations of these studies.

One point before we begin, 0.1% = 1/1000. If 1/1000 vaccine recipients suffer a major adverse event, that would mean worldwide approximately 5.5 MILLION people suffered this severe adverse event (5.5 billion vaccinated people / 1000) - and this is only for the ONE adverse event that is showing up as .1%.

• 1% = 1/100 people, extrapolated worldwide this would equal 55 MILLION people;

• 2% = 1/50 people, extrapolated worldwide this would equal 110 MILLION people;

• 5% = 1/20 people, extrapolated worldwide this would equal 275 MILLION people;

suffering just ONE severe adverse event as a consequence of getting vaccinated.

There are a surprising number of studies reporting rates of SAE's well above even 1/100 vaccine recipients (!!) Here's 21 of them 🧵 @JesslovesMJK @RMConservative @justin_hart @React19org @ShannonJoyRadio @EduEngineer @ClareCraigPath ashmedai.substack.com/p/21-surveys-o…

ashmedai.substack.com21 Surveys of Side Effects Following Vaccination Showing Shocking Rates of *SEVERE* Adverse EventsFrom heart problems to menstrual irregularities, it’s not only the rate of systemic side effects that’s stratospheric

1. Adverse drug reactions from two COVID-19 vaccines reported in Saudi Arabia

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35095267

Highlights:

• 16.8% of Pfizer recipients, and 18.5% of AstraZeneca recipients, suffered neurological symptoms

• 1.5% of Pfizer, and 1.4% of AZ, suffered anxiety (the vaccines can cause psychosis and other alterations of mental/emotional state)

• 1.3% of Pfizer, and 0.9% of AZ, suffered heart palpitations (indicating likely cardiac damage of some sort)

• 7.2% of Pfizer, and 4,5% of AZ, suffered an allergic reaction

2. Side Effects of COVID-19 Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA Vaccine in Children Aged 12–18 Years in Saudi Arabia

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8621258/

Highlights:

• 18% of Pfizer recipients experienced shortness of breath and chest pain after dose 1

• 23% of Pfizer recipients experienced shortness of breath and chest pain after dose 2

• 5% of Pfizer recipients were hospitalized following dose 1

• 12% of Pfizer recipients were hospitalized following dose 2

Results: The study recruited a total of 965 eligible participants. Overall, 571 (60%) of the study participants reported at least one side effect following Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2) mRNA vaccination. The most frequently reported side effects were pain or redness at the site of injection (90%), fatigue (67%), fever (59%), headache (55%), nausea or vomiting (21%), and chest pain and shortness of breath (20%). Joint or bone pain were reported less frequently among our participants (2%). Our data showed that more female participants reported side effects compared to male participants, with 52% and 48%, respectively. Side effects were more common after the second dose compared to the first dose in our study cohort.

3. BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1 SARS-CoV-2 Post-vaccination Side-Effects Among Saudi Vaccinees

4. Evaluation of Short-Term Symptoms Associated With COVID-19 Vaccines Used Among Adolescents in Saudi Arabia

https://www.cureus.com/articles/114641-evaluation-of-short-term-symptoms-associated-with-covid-19-vaccines-used-among-adolescents-in-saudi-arabia

Highlights:

• 2.3% of vaccine recipients were hospitalized

Side effects reported after getting the COVID-19 vaccine

Among participants who experienced COVID-19 vaccination adverse reactions (54.9%, No.= 554), 87.5% had pain at the site of injection, 84.5% reported fatigue, 69% had a headache, 67.5% had a fever, 39.7% had chills, and 19.1% had nausea and vomiting (Figure 1). Other adverse effects had been recorded by the participants such as menstrual disturbance, lymph node enlargement, muscle and bone aches, runny nose, red eye, flu, and drowsiness. Of note, 75.6% of the participants reported using medications to avoid or mitigate vaccination side effects; however, about 9% of those participants had to visit the doctor after the onset of symptoms, and only 2.3% needed admission to the hospital because of the symptoms associated with the received vaccine. The vaccine side effects lasted from one to two days in 67.1%, three to five days in 25.8%, and more than five days in 7.0% of the participants (Table 3).

5. Study of the Side Effects of Pfizer and Oxford COVID-19 Vaccines in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36196371/

Highlights:

• Following Pfizer dose 1, 9.3% experienced irregular heartbeat; 7.3% chest pain; and 7.3% shortness of breath

• Following Pfizer Dose 2, 10.5% experienced irregular heartbeat; 6.9% chest pain; & 6.9% shortness of breath

6. Prevalence of side-effects associated with the booster dose of Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2) of COVID-19 Vaccine among vaccinated adults in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36276167/

Highlights:

Following a Pfizer booster:

• 0.81% reported myo/pericarditis (!!!) (which would have to be clinically diagnosed)

• 16% reported delayed menstruation

• 1.1% were hospitalized

Conclusions

Our study showed that participants in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia receiving a booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2) COVID-19 vaccine commonly experienced short-lived side effects, especially pain or redness at the infection site, but also fatigue, body pain, fever and headache. 2.4% of recipients had sought medical attention for their side effects, although only four participants (1.1%) were admitted to the hospital after experiencing side effects. Findings from this study support the vaccine's safety as well as provide important baseline data for healthcare workers and the general public to be aware of possible side effects following the COVID-19 vaccine. In light of the current study, its results support the vaccine's safety and provide important baseline data that will raise healthcare workers' and the general public's awareness of COVID-19 vaccine expected side-effects. In this way, vaccine-hesitant individuals and pessimists might be convinced to accept the COVID-19 booster dose.

The authors’ contentions of vaccine safety despite the alarming rate of SAE’s they themselves documented here is worth repeating:

8. Investigating trends in those who experience menstrual bleeding changes after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.10.11.21264863v2

Highlights:

• 42% who had regular menstrual cycles experienced heavier bleeding

• 66% of post-menopausal people reported breakthrough bleeding (!!!!!)

• 71% of people on long-acting reversible contraceptives reported breakthrough bleeding

Abstract

Early in 2021, many people began sharing that they experienced unexpected menstrual bleeding after SARS-CoV-2 inoculation. We investigated this emerging phenomenon of changed menstrual bleeding patterns among a convenience sample of currently and formerly menstruating people using a web-based survey. In this sample, 42% of people with regular menstrual cycles bled more heavily than usual while 44% reported no change after being vaccinated. Among respondents who typically do not menstruate, 71% of people on long-acting reversible contraceptives, 39% of people on gender-affirming hormones, and 66% of post-menopausal people reported breakthrough bleeding. We found increased/breakthrough bleeding was significantly associated with age, systemic vaccine side effects (fever, fatigue), history of pregnancy or birth, and ethnicity. Generally, changes to menstrual bleeding are not uncommon nor dangerous, yet attention to these experiences is necessary to build trust in medicine.

9. Blood pressure increase after Pfizer/BioNTech SARS-CoV-2 vaccine

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8206586/

Highlights:

• Following Dose #1, 6.19% experienced tachycardia; 5.3% experienced a rise in blood pressure

• Following Dose #2, 2.65% experienced tachycardia; 1.8% experienced a rise in blood pressure

Adverse reactions occurred in 87% of subjects after the first dose and 83% after the second dose of vaccine. Most reactions were mild and none of the subjects discontinued normal daily activities. There was transitory loss of taste and smell in 1 subject. Body temperature >38.0 °C, tachycardia, or a rise in BP occurred in 13% and 27% of subjects after the first and second dose, respectively.

The subjects with documented infection by SARS-COV-2 over the previous year showed a higher frequency of systemic reactions to vaccine when compared with those without history of documented infection (38% vs 10%, p = 0.004).

Overall, 6 subjects (5.3%) showed an average rise in systolic or diastolic BP at home by ≥ 10 mmHg during the first 5 days after the first dose of vaccine when compared with the five days before the vaccine. Table 1 shows the main characteristics of these subjects. The BP rise required an intensification of BP-lowering treatment in 4 subjects. Two of the subjects with a BP rise after the first dose experienced a BP rise also after the second dose. Of note, history of COVID-19 was associated with a higher incidence of rise in BP when compared with subjects without previous exposure to SARS-CoV-2 (23% vs 3%, p = 0.002).

Post-vaccination changes: regularity

Overall, 94 women (51.08%) reported regular cycles after vaccination, 79 (42.93%) noted irregular cycles after vaccination (variation > 9 days), and 11 (5.97%) of them reported having amenorrhea after vaccination. The vaccine that most frequently affected cycle regularity was Pfizer and Sinovac; however, for the J&J/Janssen vaccine more women reported irregular cycles (n = 19) than normal (58% versus 42%).

Post-vaccination changes: duration

In relation to the duration of the menstrual cycle, 120 women (65.21%) mentioned a duration in normal ranges (<8 days), 26.08% (48) commented a prolongation of the cycle (>9 days), and only 16 women (8.69%) reported amenorrhea/absent.

Post-vaccination changes: volume

The volume variable was reported as abnormal by 127 women (69.02%), being heavy in 41.84% (n = 77), light in 20.65% (n = 38), and absent in 6.52% (n = 12). Overall, 30.97% (n = 57) of the women described the volume as normal.

19. Side effects of BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine: A randomized, cross-sectional study with detailed self-reported symptoms from healthcare workers

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33866000/

This study in particular shows it’s amazing what you can find out when you just ask - this is an impressive amount of individual side effects that you won’t find in almost any other survey or study of vaccine ‘safety’.

Furthermore, this is a survey of healthcare workers, who are better trained to be observant of, & be able to describe with technical precision, clinical changes or side effects that occur, lending more credence than merely surveying a bunch of random laypeople who are more easily confused, susceptible to suggestion, and less precise in their observations and recall of clinical symptoms.

Highlights:

• Psychological: 9.04% suffered dizziness after vaccination; 5.85% reported brain fog (!!!); 6.35% reported some form a euphoria following vaccination; 5.35% reported decreased sleep quality; 2.49% reported anxiety; 0.75% reported memory impairment

Background

1. This list is partial, I stopped at 21 because it was simply too long to keep adding more.

2. This is only including formal academic literature.

3. Obviously, there are a number of technical qualifiers that are relevant to properly parse any study individually. They are not of uniform quality and have widely ranging characteristics. Therefore, one cannot simply run with the topline numbers presented for any individual study and assume that they are definitive proof or statistically accurate by themselves.

   However, they are reporting much higher rates of SAE’s then is claimed by the mainstream narrative. (Most severe adverse events will not show up for a few reasons, such as that they are not solicited; people with severe injuries are usually incapacitated and unable to participate in surveys; and the failure or refusal to diagnose severe injuries, among others.)

4. I am hoping to write future posts to unpack some of these surveys individually, because there is a lot to say about many of them that cannot be included in a massive compilation for brevity’s sake. I did try and highlight the most relevant bits of information from each.

5. The rate of so-called ‘routine’ side effects (systemic and local) are themselves off the charts - regular medicines and vaccines do not cause anywhere near this degree of unpleasant reactions.
