United States: Through vaccination, millions survived what would have been a fatal COVID-19 infection. A limited number of people developed unfamiliar conditions named “post-vaccination syndrome” following their vaccination procedures, according to several small research studies.
More about the news
Most individuals who received these vaccines became highly protected and helped stop millions of deaths. A recent small research shows how specific side effects named “post-vaccination syndrome” can affect a small portion of people who receive their vaccines by causing fatigue, exercise problems, brain fog, hearing problems, and dizziness
Research indicates that certain individuals affected by this syndrome display unique biological changes such as modified immune cells and Epstein-Barr virus activation, as well as remaining coronavirus proteins within their bloodstream, the New York Times reported.
According to Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist at Yale University who led the work, “I want to emphasize that this is still a work in progress,” medicalnewstoday.com reported.
“It’s not like this study determined what’s making people sick,” she added, “but it’s the first kind of glimpse at what may be going on among these people.”
Scientists who reviewed the research mentioned its lack of conclusion value.
The professional research results present evidence that supports further assessment of post-vaccination syndrome according to independent experts.
According to John Wherry, director of the Institute for Immunology at the University of Pennsylvania, “One of the most important things is that we get some attention to really shine a light on this and try to understand exactly what it is,” medicalnewstoday.com reported.
Recent reports by thousands of individuals affirm that COVID vaccines caused them harm.
The United States health care system lacks unity, which makes it difficult to identify rare vaccine side effects and provides insufficient information about potential symptom patterns following Covid vaccination.
Self-reported anecdotal reports become difficult to amalgamate because of the dysfunctional healthcare system structure.
What are the experts stating?
The study possesses limited sampling and studies a disorder that shows diverse characteristics, according to Dr. Gregory Poland, who served as emeritus editor of Vaccine and president at Atria Research Institute.
“Despite these limitations, they found interesting data that need further study,” he added, the New York Times reported.
“Much larger studies of very carefully defined and phenotyped individuals need to take place,” he continued.
Dr. Iwasaki and her team performed blood sample collection from 42 post-vaccination syndrome patients from December 2022 until November 2023, along with blood tests on 22 healthy participants during the same period.
According to the study findings, those affected by the syndrome exhibited overall health levels which were inferior to the national average statistics of Americans.
