Another study reveals concerns about COVID vaccine

Researchers question if spike protein has contributed to side effects

OTTAWA — Concerns about the COVID vaccines are not going away.

There are many new reports around the world, including an alarming new study by esteemed Yale University researchers who found that some people who took the COVID vaccine have suffered long-term effects. At the same time, the world’s most recognized heart doctor also has serious concerns, as do numerous political jurisdictions.

In a new study, Yale researchers say their findings are early but some of the most common chronic symptoms after receiving the COVID vaccine include “exercise intolerance, excessive fatigue, brain fog, insomnia, and dizziness. Symptoms develop shortly after vaccination, within a day or two, can become more severe in the days that follow, and persist over time,” the study found.

A Yale University report was quick to note that “COVID-19 vaccines have been instrumental in reducing the impact of the pandemic, preventing severe illness and death, and they appear to protect against long COVID. However, some individuals have reported chronic symptoms that developed soon after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. This little-understood, persistent condition, referred to as post-vaccination syndrome (PVS), remains unrecognized by medical authorities, and little is known about its biological underpinnings.”

“It’s clear that some individuals are experiencing significant challenges after vaccination,” said Dr. Harlan Krumholz, professor of Medicine (Cardiology) and co-senior author of the study.

One of the main global concerns about the mRNA COVID vaccines is its SARS-CoV-2 spike protein designed to trigger an immune response from the host. The Yale study found that, while typically the spike protein can be detected for a few days after vaccination, some participants with PVS had detectable levels more than 700 days after their last vaccination. Researchers are now questioning if the spike protein has contributed to the side effects.

The world’s most peer-reviewed heart surgeon, Dr. Peter McCullough, of Texas, argues that the spike protein can cause inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis) and cardiac arrest. In fact, one Ontario study found that 1 in 5,139 male adolescents suffered from myocarditis after being vaccinated twice but the likelihood of a healthy male adolescent dying from COVID was practically zero.

In other global developments:

• COVID vaccine maker AstraZeneca is embroiled in a class action lawsuit in England from 51 people who say they are suffering from vaccine injuries. AstraZeneca has admitted that in “very rare” cases, the vaccine can cause blood clotting.

• The province of Alberta completed its own report on the COVID vaccine and determined the vaccine is far too risky to be used on the general population.

• The U.S. Centers For Disease Control now recognizes there can be serious adverse affects. “To date, the systems in place to monitor the safety of COVID-19 vaccines currently used in the United States have identified anaphylaxis (allergic reactions) and myocarditis or pericarditis as serious types of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination,” the CDC website reported on Jan. 31.

• Five U.S. states (Mississippi, Utah, Kansas, Louisiana and Texas) are suing Pfizer for what they say was knowingly concealing side effects in the vaccine.

• The only lawsuit in Canada against Pfizer was launched on behalf of a 17-year-old Simcoe County hockey player who died 33 days after taking the first vaccine shot.

• Several report that 10 per cent of babies were lost during pregnancy if the mother took the COVID vaccine.
