False.
The 2022 study provides no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine is responsible for the increasing stroke rate in under 55s. The data used in this study was collected between 2002 and 2018 and therefore bears no relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the vaccine has been associated with a small increase in blood clots, the absolute risk is much lower than the risk of blood clotting and stroke associated with COVID-19 infection. Therefore vaccination may reduce overall stroke risk for individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2.
With any medical therapy there is a balance between benefits and risks. Smallpox vaccines killed people but smallpox killed way more so we vaccinated everyone.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with success is that all the survivors start to act like the vaccine had nothing to do with it and focus on the unfortunate few who got side effects.
