What! Covid Side Effects Do Not Have Side Benefits! By Brian Simpson
Well, we are ripping through it today. Did you know that even if you experience side effects from the Covid jab, you still may not get greater protection from the virus? I would want my money back!
“People who experience side effects from the COVID-19 jab do not necessarily gain greater protection from the virus, nor are they more susceptible to it, experts said.
Almost half the Australians who’ve had their vaccine have reported adverse reactions — and a third felt like they had the flu.
But, while it seemed logical, there was as yet no clinical evidence linking a person’s severe side effects to the jab to them getting a potentially harsher version of COVID-19.
“Just because you got a severe reaction to the vaccine doesn’t mean you’d get a severe reaction if you got the infection, although it might seem there’s some logic in taking them to be related,” University NSW virologist Professor Bill Rawlinson told News Corp.
He said for people with severe COVID-19, often it was their body’s immune system over reaction causing some of their health problems not the virus itself.
However, he said he was unaware of any studies that could prove people who had a strong reaction to the vaccine would have developed severe COVID-19.
Australian Catholic University infectious diseases expert Dr Roger Lord said “the short answer to your question is no”.
The vaccine contains a compound that stirs up the immune system, called an adjuvant.
And often its these adjuvants in the vaccines that can cause severe responses.
The vaccines also contain fragments of the virus that cause COVID-19 and these canbe in higher amounts than if a person was naturally infected with the virus, he said.
“Some rare adverse effects seen for vaccines directly relate to how the vaccine is formulated,” he said.
University Queensland’s Professor Paul Griffin, who has conducted clinical trials on six leading COVID-19 vaccines, said “side effects don’t necessarily tell us very much at all about the immune response”.
“Some people can have absolutely no reactions and still have a good response and, you know, conversely, some people can have some side effects and not necessarily have the most potent of responses so unfortunately it’s not quite as simple as that,” he said.
While only half the people in clinical studies had a reaction to their vaccine up to 95 per cent were protected by the vaccines.”
