COVID VACCINES: THE AFTERMATH

COVID VACCINES: THE AFTERMATH

COVID-19 vaccines, like any other vaccine, can have side effects. While significant side effects are claimed to be uncommon, many patients have reported new symptoms after receiving COVID-19 vaccines.
Thousands, if not millions, of fatalities are thought to be associated with vaccination adverse effects and long-term COVID-19 symptoms.

 The most common side effects reported are mild and temporary, including:

Local reactions:

   - Pain at the injection site

   - Swelling

   - Redness

Systemic reactions:

   - Fever

   - Fatigue

   - Headache

   - Muscle pain

   - Chills

   - Joint pain

More serious but less common side effects include:

Allergic reactions:

   - Anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) is rare but can occur, typically within minutes to hours after vaccination.

Myocarditis and Pericarditis:

   - Inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis) or the lining around the heart (pericarditis) has been observed, primarily in younger males after the mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna).

Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS):

   - This rare but serious condition involving blood clots with low platelets has been associated with the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) and AstraZeneca vaccines.

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS):

   - A rare neurological disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the nerves, observed with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Treatment for these side effects varies depending on the severity:

Mild side effects:

   - Typically managed with over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, rest, and hydration.

Severe allergic reactions:

   - Immediate medical attention with the administration of epinephrine and monitoring in a medical setting.

Myocarditis/Pericarditis:

   - Often treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and rest, with more severe cases requiring hospitalization.

TTS and GBS:

   - These conditions require specialized medical treatment, which may include blood thinners for TTS and immunoglobulin therapy for GBS.

What to do:

Many patients feel alone during their healthcare experience, which, as we all know, may be costly. It appears that despite warnings from people, including some healthcare professionals, regarding a rise in odd malignancies and heart problems, they are not being taken seriously. Nor is assistance being provided to people who are unable to afford the costs connected with these pervasive health conditions.

Knowledge is power, therefore conduct your research. Document your health journey and keep note of what works and what doesn't. There are also outstanding doctors and support groups, which others may choose to join. 

Consider natural medicine and therapeutic exercises that can help with the emotional aspect of it all.

Monitoring and reporting of vaccine side effects are crucial for ongoing safety assessments. Health authorities like the CDC and WHO continue to evaluate data to ensure the benefits of COVID-19 vaccines outweigh the risks.
