Severe Adverse Effects of J&J Vaccine: US CDC Experts Gather
A group of experts advising the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on vaccines will meet Thursday to discuss updates on how Johnson & Johnson 's COVID-19 vaccine is used, following updates on an adverse effect. serious.
The panel will hear presentations from CDC officials on thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), which the US FDA says has a "causal relationship" related to the vaccine, according to a draft agenda for the meeting.
The syndrome is a combination of blood clots and low blood platelet levels.
Concern about patients who contracted the syndrome after receiving the vaccine led to a near-national pause in vaccine administration in the spring, but the pause was lifted after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that the benefits of the vaccine outweighed its risks.
Since then, more evidence has emerged linking the syndrome to the vaccine.
CDC researchers last month found that people who received the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine were much more likely to experience the syndrome than people who received a Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
The reporting rate on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a system operated by the CDC and the FDA, was 3.55 per million doses administered for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, compared with 0.0057 per million doses. given after one of the other vaccines.
The rate was the highest among women between the ages of 30 and 39.
As of December 16, 1,700 cases of TTS following J&J vaccine administration have been reported to VAERS, according to a review of the Epoch Times database. There were also 1,429 reports of thrombosis and 265 reports of thrombocytopenia. Overall, the conditions are said to have resulted in 89 deaths. Recall that VAERS is a passive system that anyone can report to, but studies have indicated that the number of reports submitted to the system is an underestimate of post-vaccination problems.
The FDA updated the information sheets for the vaccine this week, warning people with a history of TTS after vaccination not to receive the J&J vaccine. TTS is now listed as a contraindication. This means that people can potentially get medical exemptions from vaccination mandates if they have had adverse reactions to adenovirus vector vaccines such as J&J stroke.
A simple question: FDA and EMA have authorized, albeit in an emergency, this vaccine. On the basis of what data was this choice made? Just about the fact that everyone had to be taken aboard?
