Dr. Robin Rose, Chris Cuomo’s private doctor and a double board-certified doctor with experience in treating lengthy COVID at Terrain Well being, destroys the prevailing narrative about COVID-19 vaccine security on dwell TV.
Through the phase, Cuomo launched the subject by highlighting a groundbreaking research by the Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN), which analyzed the security of COVID-19 vaccines in a pool of 99 million vaccinated people throughout a number of international locations, together with Denmark, New Zealand, Argentina, Canada, Finland, Australia, and Scotland.
Right here’s what the research discovered about how sure well being points confirmed up after folks bought their COVID-19 vaccines:
Neurological Circumstances:
- After getting the primary dose of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, there was a noticeable enhance in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), the place the physique’s immune system assaults its nerves.
- Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), a uncommon mind and spinal wire irritation, additionally popped up greater than anticipated after the primary Moderna vaccine dose.
- Different neurological points like transverse myelitis (spinal wire irritation), Bell’s palsy (facial paralysis), and seizures additionally occurred greater than typical after some doses of those vaccines.
Blood Clot and Platelet Circumstances:
- The Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine first dose was linked to extra circumstances of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), a kind of blood clot within the mind, than anticipated.
- There have been additionally extra situations of low platelet counts and pulmonary embolism (blood clots within the lungs) after some doses of Oxford/AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and Moderna vaccines.
- Some vaccines additionally led to a rise in splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT), one other kind of blood clot, after sure doses, however these findings didn’t sign a serious security concern in response to the research’s standards.
Coronary heart Circumstances:
- Instances of myocarditis (coronary heart irritation) had been considerably larger than anticipated after the primary, second, and third doses of mRNA vaccines (like Pfizer and Moderna).
- Pericarditis (irritation of the guts’s outer layer) circumstances additionally exceeded expectations after some doses of the Moderna vaccine and after the third dose of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine.
- These heart-related findings had been thought-about necessary security indicators that want consideration.
What this implies: The research observed that after getting sure COVID-19 vaccine doses, some folks skilled well being points like nerve and coronary heart issues, or blood clots greater than what was anticipated by the so-called consultants.
Through the dwell broadcast, Cuomo launched the subject with cautious optimism, highlighting the rarity of elevated dangers for sure problems recognized within the research. Nonetheless, Dr. Rose shortly identified the gravity of the findings.
“The research recognized vital points that had been neurologic, cardiac, or hematologic. What we noticed was that sure security indicators had been two to a few occasions larger than anticipated,” Dr. Rose stated.
Cuomo sought clarification on what Rose meant by “anticipated versus noticed,” to which Rose defined that the noticed critical unwanted side effects had been larger than what researchers had anticipated when rolling out a vaccine or therapeutic.
Dr. Rose highlighted a discrepancy in how healthcare and society reply to uncommon occasions, drawing a parallel between the screening for cancers and the monitoring of vaccine unwanted side effects.
She famous that hundreds of thousands are screened for cancers with a lot decrease incidence charges than among the opposed occasions noticed post-vaccination, questioning why comparable warning will not be utilized to vaccine security monitoring.
“When the headlines come out about vaccines versus COVID, they’re typically downplayed in varied methods, or the headlines themselves decrease what’s occurring. Okay. And the difficulty is that, in our society and in healthcare normally, we do care in regards to the few or the uncommon occurrences, proper? Thus, we conduct screenings for everybody 45 years and older, encompassing a whole lot of hundreds or hundreds of thousands of people that should be screened as a result of we’re involved in regards to the 32 out of each 100,000 individuals who get it per yr.”
“The identical applies to girls and cervical most cancers: 7.7 females out of each 100,000 per yr get cervical most cancers. These are rarer, fewer occasions that happen. However we care about them. We don’t downplay them, and we display these people, making an attempt to forestall it from occurring. That was my level.”
Dr. Rose criticized the research for not investigating a wider vary of signs reported by vaccinated people, which, although much less extreme, considerably influence day by day life. Signs akin to chest heaviness, persistent complications, mind fog, and new onset cardiac arrhythmias have been reported by many, but their prevalence and connection to the vaccine stay underexplored.
“There are tens of hundreds of thousands of individuals on the market who’re screaming from the rooftops, saying that after that they had the vaccine, they’ve suffered from simply fundamental signs, or not that fundamental, however not as extreme as this, however signs which have impaired their actions of day by day residing.”
“They’ll’t dwell the best way they used to dwell each day. And people are issues together with chest heaviness, persistent complications every single day, mind fog, post-exertional malaise, neuropathy, weak point, new-onset cardiac arrhythmias, structural coronary heart harm, autoimmune circumstances, all these various things. I can title 100 different issues, most likely. Why are we not these issues? The issues that we’re on this research, notably, are issues which are tremendous uncommon and really critical and life-threatening.”
When Cuomo requested in regards to the suggestion that vaccination reduces the danger of long-term COVID-19, Dr. Rose dropped a fact bomb.
“In our private expertise, what we’re seeing is that’s a combined bag. It’s a combined bag. We want much more knowledge on that. However evidently many sufferers that had lengthy Covid that bought vaccinated really bought worse as an alternative of higher.” Dr. Rose stated.
“In my expertise, and in a number of my colleagues’ experiences who’re taking good care of these sufferers throughout the nation, so I feel that basically must be checked out a little bit nearer.”
“And, Chris, there was a research, too, that simply got here out about pregnant girls final week. And whenever you take a look at that research, over 51% of the ladies who had been pregnant and went on to have lengthy Covid had been vaccinated, and there it was a little bit bit extra, hedged extra in the direction of these sufferers who had been vaccinated, went on to develop lengthy Covid versus not. So, that is one thing that, once more, is multifactorial. There are a number of issues at play. Individuals have had a number of vaccines and a number of exposures to the virus.”
