When the COVID-19 vaccines rolled out, CDC provided a V-safe app where people could record their symptoms. The attorneys who represent ICAN sued CDC to release this data. The V-safe data revealed over 124,000 reports of rashes; 22,000 reports of hives; 11,000 reports of blisters; 3,000 reports of eczema; 2,500 reports of psoriasis; and 1,500 reports of lesions. Some examples in the vaccine recipients’ own words:
- “Severe hives. Started the morning of 1/11 went to urgent care 1/12 at 3am. Raised and red hives. Started on thighs and arms. Eventually covered 90% of my body.”
- “Bullous lesions on hands. Slow healing process. Had a biopsy of one of the lesions.”
- “6 silver dollar sized psoriasis like patches on my chest and ive [sic] never had any skin issues in my life”
- “Had very unusual rapid growing lesion, biopsy done 1/15/21. Suspecting autoimmune process. Requires topical and systemic pain meds.”
- “Painful blisters on my hands, feet, wrists and elbows as well as in my nostril.”
- “Ulcers on roof of mouth and down throat (not something that has ever happened to me before)”
- “Rash all over, hive like bumps on palms of feet and hands, back, stomach, legs, arms, its every where [sic] and very itchy.”
Scientific literature includes many reports of cutaneous (skin) reactions after COVID-19 vaccination. Most skin reactions to drugs are considered to be a hypersensitive immune response involving mast cells, and the preferred treatment is to discontinue the drug.
