IN MY report on MHRA adverse events data three weeks ago I promised we would publish an in-depth analysis of by far the biggest category of these reactions to Covid-19 vaccines, nervous system disorders. Despite their prevalence these have attracted no mainstream media interest.
Such an overall high number of negative effects is in itself unprecedented. That a fifth of these, 282,605, are nervous system disorders is surely deserving of comment and inquiry. So far 318 have proved fatal, while many more have resulted on long term paralysing and disabling symptoms. Are we meant to ignore them?
The AstraZeneca vaccine appears to be particularly culpable. It accounts for 491 out of 609 cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome, which can leave its victims with ongoing full body paralysis, as in the case of 58-year-old Tony Shingler that we reported here. Out of the 161 MHRA-acknowledged transverse myelitis reactions, 121 are down to AstraZeneca.Â
The main nervous disorder subcategories listed are:
Headaches – 31,623 (Pfizer) + 85,475 (AZ) + 8,418 (Moderna) = 125,516
Paraesthesia & Dysaesthesia (chronic burning sensation, pricking nerve pain) – 9,208 (Pfizer) + 17,735 (AZ) + 1,807 (Moderna) = 28,750
Disturbances of Consciousness – 7,427 (Pfizer) + 10,942 (AZ) + 2,126 (Moderna) = 20,495
Migraine – 3,911 (Pfizer) + 8,472 (AZ) + 892 (Moderna) = 13,275
In each of these categories AstraZeneca is, numerically and proportionally, associated with the highest number of reactions.
Overall to date, 1 in 117 people injected experiences a Yellow Card Adverse Event, which may be less than 10 per cent of actual figures according to MHRA itself. The total number of (all) reactions stands at 1,475,298, with 450,567 people impacted, 2,075 of whom have died.
Our specially commissioned Nervous Disorder breakdown follows for the period up to March 23 (data published March 31 2022).
Nervous System Disorder Reactions – 80,331 (Pfizer) + 182,572 (AZ) + 19,702 (Moderna) = 282,605
Some people may have reported more than one type of reaction.
