Fear about vaccines continues as France says one million people have been vaccinated in a month. The biggest fear? Death that could be caused by the short gap of time between human testing and market launching, paired with the RNA technology used in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
And now, people have died after being given the vaccine. 33 deaths in Norway, 13 deaths in Sweden, 7 in Iceland, 9 deaths in France, and 135 cases of adverse effects. In a press release, the ANSM says that “most effect cases are expected or minor”, namely “fever, headaches, nauseas”, but there are “31 severe side effect cases” including 4 cases of tachycardia (acceleration of heart beats) and 9 deaths.
These cases are “being investigated” the ANSM says. Although the agency has to study all cases that date back to decades (as long as vaccines and medicines are sold), it explains deaths are statistically impossible to prevent. “The campaign increases on a day-by-day basis, in this population, the probability to see death occur after Covid vaccine, and even if there is no effect of the vaccine” the ANSM says. It is crucial to remind that death can happen at any time, but studies are trying to prove if vaccine can increase death risk.
European countries are exchanging data for any medicine and vaccine in order to list side effects and withdraw products from the market as quickly as they can.
