New blood disorder warnings appear on Covid-19 vaccine made by Johnson & Johnson

New blood disorder warnings appear on the Johnson and Johnson (Janssen) Covid-19 vaccine label, now that the federal “pause” on administering the vaccine has ended.

The warnings flag an increased risk of thrombosis, clotting of the blood in the circulatory system. This disorder can be combined with thrombocytopenia, or low blood platelet count, which can lead to dangerous internal bleeding, according to the new warnings. The warnings say the symptoms can appear approximately one to two weeks after vaccination.

A 56-year old Miami Beach doctor, Gregory Michael, died of the rare blood disorder two weeks after his Dec. 18 vaccination with a different brand: Pfizer/BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine. However, his official cause of death was ruled to be “natural.” Dr. Michael was described as “very healthy” before his Covid-19 vaccine and sudden onset of “immune thrombocytopenia,” or low blood platelet count. There is no word as to whether officials have reclassified or reinvestigated his death.

One reason why relatively rare reports of a serious adverse event are cause for such concern and added warnings is that scientists have documented that they only capture a small percentage of actual illnesses that occur.

Each recognized case is presumed to represent many more that are not correctly diagnosed or reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System or VAERS. Patients and doctors are encouraged to report all illnesses after vaccination to VAERS, whether they are proven to be linked to the inoculation or not. As professionals comb through the data, they are able to identify previously unknown side effects.

Several European countries report similar blood clot complications after use of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine.

Leaked Video Shows Facebook CEO Questioning “Long-Term Side Effects Of Modifying DNA” In COVID Vaccine

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg made comments last year about COVID-19 vaccines that clash with policies that his platform has implemented, leaked video shows.

Zuckerberg said in July 2020:

“I do just want to make sure that I share some caution on this [vaccine] because we just don’t know the long-term side effects of basically modifying people’s DNA and RNA … basically the ability to produce those antibodies and whether that causes other mutations or other risks downstream. So, there’s work on both paths of vaccine development.”

The footage was published by Project Veritas, a journalism watchdog.

Central NY school district closes after many staff sick with side effects from Covid vaccine

The Sandy Creek school district closed today after numerous staff members reported feeling ill after the second vaccine, district officials said.

Superintendent Kyle Faulkner told Syracuse.com | The Post Standard that health care provider ConnectCare came to the district to give teachers, staff, substitutes, aides, bus drivers and others the Moderna vaccine.

More than half the employees received the first shot a month ago, and the second injection was Wednesday, Faulkner said.

Of those, at least one-third reported feeling ill including fever and other symptoms, Faulkner said.

“We are a small district, and we had so many folks down and out today that we didn’t have enough people to staff the schools,’’ Faulkner said. “Some people get pretty sick with the second shot.”

Moderna COVID-19 vaccine may cause side effects for those with cosmetic facial fillers: FDA

People with cosmetic facial fillers could experience swelling and inflammation with one of the coronavirus vaccines, the FDA advisory committee noted.

According to the committee, several trial participants with fillers have already experienced side effects. A California-based dermatologist said the reaction was immunological, ABC7 reported on Thursday.

“Your immune system which causes inflammation is revved up when you get a vaccine, that’s how it’s supposed to work,” said Dr. Shirley Chi, who noted the side effects were easily treated by medical personnel.

“So it makes sense that you would see an immune response in certain areas where they see some substance that is not a naturally occurring substance in your body.”

CDC Issues New Guidelines, Launches Probe After 1000s Negatively-Affected Following COVID-19 Vaccination

As of Dec. 18, 3,150 people reported what the agency terms “Health Impact Events” after getting vaccinated.

The definition of the term is: “unable to perform normal daily activities, unable to work, required care from doctor or health care professional.”

As The Epoch Times’ Zachary Stieber reports, the people reporting the negative effects reported them through V-safe, a smartphone application. The tool uses text messages and web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins and allows users to quickly tell the CDC if they are experiencing side effects.

The CDC and Pfizer, which produces the vaccine with BioNTech, didn’t respond to request for comments.

The information was presented by Dr. Thomas Clark, a CDC epidemiologist, to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, an independent panel that provides recommendations to the agency, on Saturday.

The coronavirus vaccine comes with more side effects than a flu shot. Experts urge people to get it anyway

The first coronavirus vaccine authorized in the United States may cause more side effects than the flu vaccine, but the most common reactions — soreness at the injection site, fatigue and headache — are mild or moderate in most people and fade after a few days, according to analyses of clinical trial data.

Infectious disease experts say most people can safely get the vaccine, but they should be prepared for some of these potential side effects.

“Any robust vaccine may generate some discomfort but it is worth the mild side effects — these side effects are not extraordinary — to be immune against this circulating new pandemic,” said Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease physician at UCSF.

The FDA granted emergency use authorization late Friday to the first vaccine in the U.S., developed by Pfizer and German firm BioNTech, which has been shown to be 95% effective at preventing COVID-19 illness.

Health care workers and residents of long-term care centers will be first in line to receive the vaccine in California, followed by essential workers. Mass vaccinations of the general public are expected in spring or summer 2021.

The Pfizer vaccine’s most common side effects were fatigue, headache, muscle pain and chills, according to an FDA analysis of Pfizer’s clinical trial data. Less common were joint pain, fever, diarrhea and vomiting. The vast majority of those symptoms were mild or moderate.
