placeholder Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 EU looking into new possible side-effects of mRNA COVID-19 shots Three new conditions reported by a small number of people after vaccination with COVID-19 shots from Pfizer (PFE.N) and Moderna (MRNA.O) are being studied to assess if they may be possible side-effects, Europe's drugs regulator said on Wednesday. Erythema multiforme, a form of allergic skin reaction; glomerulonephritis or kidney inflammation; and nephrotic syndrome, a renal disorder characterised by heavy urinary protein losses, are being studied by the safety committee of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), according to the regulator. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/eu-drugs-regulator-looking-new-possible-side-effects-mrna-vaccines-2021-08-11/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 In case anyone hadn't noticed there is a pharmacological war going on. US drugs vs the rest. So it is not unusual for EU to look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a subtle but important difference. The EU investigation is aimed at getting to the truth. In the case of the ‘hill billy Dad or right-wing host who said COVID wasn’t real and then died of it’..... The truth got to them. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t say it was as irrelevant l, he said it was not helpful. I’m inclined to agree. The ‘story’ is devoid of any detail that might enable a reader to determine if it is a matter of genuine concern. It’s little more than an alarmist headline grabbing attention, stoking doubts and providing no measure of scale to anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that had been the case, they would have actually quoted from an article about it as I did. I made that post to show that it was a "small number" of cases. Something which the OP failed to note. I'd say one could wonder why this qualification wasn't noted, but I think the motive is obvious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post impulse Posted September 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2021 The OP is a little sparse on the details, but kudos for pointing out a line of inquiry that people can engage their gray matter and searching skills and choose to research further. Or they can decide it doesn't fit their chosen narrative, and must be squelched as "unhelpful". 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ‘line of inquiry’ is within the EU’s Pharmaceutical governing body and the pharmaceutical company, both of which have access to raw data that is not distributed to the public and if it were would be beyond the comprehension of almost all excepting those with significant knowledge of medical statistics. As I and others have pointed out, there isn’t any indication of how many adverse reactions are being investigated, let alone any information confirming they are in deed related to the vaccine. Just an alarmist headline which will, despite the absence of substantiating data, be grasped by some to fit their chosen narrative. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My decision was based on my advanced age, risk factors, and the lack of progeny in my future. But I'm still open to the possibility that will prove to be a long term mistake, and I'm against mandating them for people in different life situations. We'll know in a few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessman Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Better that stories like this are reported than not reported but they do feed the circular reasoning that people against vaccines use to justify their beliefs. if there are no investigations then that must be because all the serious problems are being swept under the carpet and not reported. if there are investigations then there’s no smoke without fire and there are probably serious problems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unfortunate that certain readers can't understand the significance of a small number events in a very large number of vaccinations. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean of course that despite probably being the best overall vaccine AZ is routinely savaged. And people don't complain about that.

What seems unhelpful is the OP's original post which somehow failed to mention that this problem affects a small number of people. His failure to link to any source was just an oversight? Of course, if you think alarmism is helpful, then this post was very useful. Edited September 2, 2021 by placeholder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
