New evidence confirms COVID-19 vaccines are overwhelmingly safe

Also, old evidence confirms it.

Okay, if you say so, because I died six months after getting the first one like they said I would. Now I'm a magnetic 5G zombie.

There was a 50/50 split in the US Senate when the vaccine came out. Every member of that group was vaccinated. They were the first members of the population to be vaccinated. If any of the ancient senators had died, the balance of power would have shifted in a huge way.

Amazing what all the efficacy and safety studies said before is still true. It was true before, but now it's also true.

The sound you're hearing is goalposts being shuffled around.

You mean ALL the republicans were lying this whole time? I am shocked! SHOCKED I say.

Guys the reason this study is important is because covid vaccines used revolutionary technology, they were the first to use mRNA based protein. If you remember we sequenced its genome within 40 days the making the vaccine was considerably easy. This is the main reason it took only 2 years for the vaccine to be made compared to years of development for other vaccines.

We always knew/suspected this. But the ones that do the fearmongering around vaccines will not be interested in facts...

I don't know about you guys but I absolutely love the $5000 that is deposited onto my microchip every month! Helps so much with bills! Thanks Obama!

Where’s that guy that turned into a Newt?

Are Republicans still waiting for people who got the initial vaccine to drop dead overnight? lol.

What's the point of this? The people who already believe the vaccine is safe already know it. Those that don't believe it's safe aren't gonna read this OR the report. They'll claim it's some sort of propaganda.

What a surprise! who could have seen this coming!

I can almost hear all the scientists groan.

Genuinely impressive how a vaccine made under the conditions and time constraints COVID faced is so effective.

Totally not true, there’s …. Stuff. Dammit, the only thing I came up with to annoy the person giving me the shot was a one liner about improved 5G reception. And I used it twice: so cringey. Where are all the conspiracy nuts when you need them?

Anyone know where I can access the report mentioned? It doesn't seem to be linked anywhere in the article, nor cited by a searchable name...

Nvm, found it on the website for Public Health Ontario

If this is trying to convince skeptics, it'll do nothing. They'll go back to Nancy on Facebook and exclaim how they're putting 5G crystal-infused microchips into your body to turn you into a sky person. Literally nothing will convince the antivax.

I need to preface this by saying that I am in no way anti-vaccine, and this has nothing to do with politics.

But...

I got my last booster about 3 weeks ago, and I have been messed up ever since. Apparently there is something called Long Vax Syndrome that is currently being studied. Fortunately I don't have some of the worst symptoms, but the fatigue is so real. Normally when I would get a covid booster I would be exhausted for about 24 hours, but this is unrelenting. I've never been this tired in my life, and it's honestly a struggle. I am really hoping something comes of the research and they figure something out because I don't know how long I can sustain this.

What's even the point? More evidence isn't going to change anyone's mind.

Could we just say that all evidence confirms it?

I'm fully pro vaccine and I'm happy for these studies. Nothing wrong about getting more data and confirming or revisiting things based on said results.

Science is not afraid of being double checked.

They cry wolf time and time again and wonder why we all just laugh at them. It's gotten to the point where if a conservative says something, the opposite is most likely true.

Sweet

I just saw yet another Tim pool twitter thread with people talking about wanting assault vaccines be made illegal

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Previous research has shown the vast majority of cases are mild, patients recover quickly and risks can be averted by extending the time between doses.

That report provides extensive details about the serious cases, which included people who required a hospital admission or died, making it clear the vaccine was likely not the cause.

At the same time, a new study published by Canadian researchers found that babies whose mothers had been vaccinated against COVID-19 during pregnancy were less likely to experience serious health complications, be admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit or die.

The study, published this week in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, looked at data from more than 142,000 births in Ontario and followed infants for six months to determine their outcomes.

Sarah Jorgensen, one of the study’s authors, said the findings should provide reassurance to pregnant women that the vaccines are safe and can help protect their babies.

“Pregnant women and really young infants in the first couple of months, they’re also high-risk,” said Ms. Jorgensen, who is a pharmacist and a PhD candidate in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine’s Institute for Medical Science at the University of Toronto.

The original article contains 876 words, the summary contains 193 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

New evidence?

Did you guys know that bridges help people cross rivers?

Whew!! That was a close one fellas. What if I knew that they were safe all along but I wanted to live on the edge?? (I got a vaccine shot 😔)

What about their effectiveness?

I get that the first few versions might have stemmed the tide of the pandemic early on .. but how effective are the new doses now?

I'm not an antivacer but I do question the way the pandemic was handled and continues to be handled. I trust scientists, I trust the medical community, I trust our current level of knowledge and expertise ... I even trust our government to do the best they can with what they have ... I just don't trust seeing big corporate interests quietly influencing everything in the background.

I certainly don't trust anyone or anything that reprimands me or is threatened by my questions or concerns.

I would feel a whole lot better about all this if corporate and financial interests were completely disconnected from all our health care and pharmaceutical systems. Basically, anything that has to do with human bodily health should not be controlled or deeply influenced by monied interests.

I didn't need a study for that. I mean we vaccinated ones are still pretty much alive, despite all the warnings of the dum-dums.

In related news: water is wet

YOU CAN'T FOOL ME, STUPID ROUND EARTHERS!!!

In other news water is wet. Never had any doubt although you can't use science to convince antivaxers because they just don't care about facts or logic.

I dunno, I got another shot last month and I developed super powers. I flew too close to the sun and caught on fire. I blame the shot. /s

In other news, fire burns

Big pharma covering up the fact that 90% of the population died suddenly two years ago.

In other news, water is wet.

Again? Seems like a waste of time to continuously prove it’s safe. Everyone who cares already knows, everyone who need to care, doesn’t give a fuck and lives in their own little wonderland.

My wife is a front end manager and still probably won't get it. She has had people come in and try to raise Hell over unvaccinated employees, but from what I understand, businesses take on liability if they issue requirements.

I remember one brand gave an increased chance of having a stroke and blood clots. Good thing we didn't stop the research ✌️

Except the autism

Something, something, comorbidities...

Sorry, I forgot that only applies to COVID deaths.

Great! Can we see the 10/20/50 year data?

I'm vaccinated, but don't pretend we don't find out problems decades later all the time. This headline is stupid.

I absolutely believe that in mass its safe. And I highly suggest others to get it. But I'm one of at least 3 people who had... a very specific and scary issue about 6 months after the first shot so for my own sanity I've not gotten another since the first booster. I don't like to spread it though, its not like 3 is numerically significant even if its 3 in the same area of a specific state.

Just 5.5 per cent of adverse events linked to the vaccines were considered serious and included conditions that required an admission to hospital or resulted in death.

5% of adverse events requiring hospitalization is not exactly what I would call safe

I refuse to believe that lol

Those are the official numbers, but I've heard time and time again from people with vaccine damages, that they have to basically force their doctors to even report their symptoms, so I have my doubts how accurate it is.

The thing that increased anti-vaxx sentiment and theories of the vaccines killing you or whatever, was governments around the world going full fash with them.

If you don't take the vaccine, you can't enter establishments, you can't work, you'll be denied healthcare ahead of someone who has been vaccinated, fined if you don't take it (in the case of Germany) etc etc. If you want people to get vaccinated en masse, this is entirely the opposite way of doing it. It's no surprise that there's now been a decline in vaccine uptake in general.

That whole period when the vaccines first came out and the governmental coercion has actively damaged public health messaging for the foreseeable future.
