More than 13.5 billion doses were administered worldwide.
A study carried out by the Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN) revealed that the main vaccines against COVID-19 caused a small increase in chronic health problems.
These include some damage sanguine, neurological y cardiacthe last two being the more common.
To reach these conclusions they looked for antecedents that would reveal the increase of 13 medical conditions in between 99 million people vaccinated in European countries such as Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom.
In this way, GVDN researchers determined that vaccines Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna showed that, in a small group of people, there was an increase in the development of cardiac inflammations.
On the other hand, the vaccine AstraZeneca was associated with an increased risk of suffering clots in the brainas well as a neurological disorder where the immune system attacks its own nervous system, called syndrome Guillain-Barré.
The riskiest COVID-19 vaccines according to experts
While, as mentioned above, Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna showed a substantial increase of possible inflammation after the third dose, the Moderna showed the greatest risk.
That vaccine, after the second dose, caused a increased development of pericarditisthat is, the inflation of the tissue that covers the heart.
On the contrary, Guillain-Barré syndrome and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis are some of the diseases detected after the vaccine was administered. AstraZenecawhich they presented 190 and 69 cases respectively.
This way, Harlan Krumholzleader of the investigation pointed out that “both things can be truethat vaccines have saved millions of livesbut at the same time have a smaller number of people whose health negatively affected“.
What did the Government say about this study?
From the Government, the Undersecretary of Public Health, Andrea Albagliwas consulted regarding this study on COVID-19 vaccines.
In conversation with Radio ADN, he stated that “all the adverse effects mentioned in the article are expected symptoms that are already described at the national and international level for all COVID vaccines.”
“At the national level, the Institute of Public Health is in charge of pharmacovigilance where monitoring of all adverse effects supposedly attributable to immunizationbecause there may also be symptoms that, although they may be concurrent with the vaccine, are not due to the vaccine,” he added.
In addition to highlighting the importance of vaccines, he stressed that “with the most recent vaccine that we are administering, the monovalent XBB 1.5, no notification has been received of any serious event attributable to vaccination“.
“I want to convey that vaccines are safe and the risk of not getting vaccinated is much greater than getting vaccinated, because we risk being infected with Covid-19 without our body being prepared to protect us,” the undersecretary noted.
