Vaccination remains safe. Surprise, surprise.

By Stephanie Soucheray, MA

A new research letter published yesterday in JAMA Network Open shows no new safety concerns or reactogenicity signals among babies and toddlers who received their first COVID-19 vaccines by the age of 2.

The research comes from 5,644 US children who received at least 1 dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine between the ages of 6 and 24 months. All of the children had mothers who received a COVID-19 vaccination 30 days before their last menstrual period or during pregnancy.

The mean age at first dose was 12.4 months. Twenty percent of the children included in the study received their COVID vaccine with at least one other vaccine administered at the same time.

Postvaccination reactions were reported for 46.7% of children, with 21.1% and 38.8% experiencing local and systemic reactions, respectively, the authors said. Only 18 children in the study, 0.3%, experienced reactions described by participants as severe.

Fussiness most common reaction The most common reactions were fussiness (30%), local reaction (21.1%), and fever (13.8%). Six participants reported a seizure or febrile seizure after receiving COVID-19 vaccination. No deaths were reported.

Reactions were more common after the first dose of COVID vaccine than the second.

"This difference may reflect maternal vaccination; the first COVID-19 vaccination in our cohort may be some children’s second immunological encounter with a COVID-19 vaccine," the authors said. "These findings add evidence indicating that mild or moderate local and systemic reactions may be experienced, but severe reactions and serious adverse events are rare."

The U.S. government has been forced to admit that Covid mRNA vaccines increase the risk of new-onset diabetes.

According to a new case report published by the NIH, Covid vaccine recipients are more likely to develop diabetes than their unvaccinated counterparts.

“Multiple cases of postvaccination immune-related adverse events have been reported. We, hereby, present a patient who presented with new-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) after COVID-19 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccination,” the case report declared in the ‘Background/Objective’ section.

Infowars.com reports: The case report regards a 38-year-old healthy man who received his second Covid shot. He experienced sudden onset of polyuria (productions of large amounts of diluted urine), polydipsia (great thirst, often associated with diabetes) and blurry vision. He was later diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. Diabetes is the bodies inability to produce or respond to the hormone insulin.

📆 July 2023 📰 Rare link between coronavirus vaccines and Long Covid–like illness starts to gain acceptance 🗞️ Science

But in recent months, what some call Long Vax has gained wider acceptance among doctors and scientists, and some are now working to better understand and treat its symptoms.

“You see one or two patients and you wonder if it’s a coincidence,” says Anne Louise Oaklander, a neurologist and researcher at Harvard Medical School. “But by the time you’ve seen 10, 20,” she continues, trailing off. “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”

Symptoms can include persistent headaches, severe fatigue, and abnormal heart rate and blood pressure. They appear hours, days, or weeks after vaccination and are difficult to study. But researchers and clinicians are increasingly finding some alignment with known medical conditions. One is small fiber neuropathy, a condition Oaklander studies, in which nerve damage can cause tingling or electric shock–like sensations, burning pain, and blood circulation problems. The second is a more nebulous syndrome, with symptoms sometimes triggered by small fiber neuropathy, called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). It can involve muscle weakness, swings in heart rate and blood pressure, fatigue, and brain fog.

German Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach acknowledged in March that though rare, Long Covid–like symptoms after vaccination are a real phenomenon. He said his ministry was working to organize funding for studies, although none has been announced so far.

Science first wrote about these health concerns in January 2022, describing efforts by scientists at the National Institutes of Health to study and treat affected individuals. A study including 23 people was posted as a preprint in May 2022 but never published. Following Science’s story, almost 200 people contacted the journal sharing their postvaccination symptoms.

Research has since proceeded slowly. This is “a challenging outcome to monitor,” Tom Shimabukuro of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told a government advisory committee in January. Still, more than two dozen case studies have accumulated describing POTS or small fiber neuropathy following a COVID-19 shot, regardless of the vaccine manufacturer.

An immune overreaction to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which COVID-19 vaccines use to induce protective antibodies, is one possible cause of these symptoms. One theory is that after vaccination some people generate another round of antibodies targeting the first. Those antibodies could function somewhat like spike itself: Spike targets a cell surface protein called the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, enabling the virus to enter cells. The rogue antibodies might also bind to ACE2, which helps regulate blood pressure and heart rate, says Bernhard Schieffer, a cardiologist at the University of Marburg. If those antibodies disrupt ACE2 signaling, that could cause the racing heart rates and blood pressure swings seen in POTS.

Small fiber neurons also have the ACE2 receptor on their surface, so in theory rogue antibodies could contribute to neuropathy. But Matthew Schelke, a neurologist at Columbia University who has treated small fiber neuropathy in both Long Covid and postvaccine patients, says pinning down a connection won’t be easy. Even when unusual antibodies turn up in someone’s blood, “it’s extremely difficult to know if any of these are pathogenic or if they are just bystanders,” he says. Other immune system components that fuel inflammation may also harm nerves, he notes.

Mr. Getson: I have tablings here from a constituent who understood that they had COVID, which was undiagnosed. They went to a clinic, had their blood serology taken prevaccination and then postvaccination. The constituent told me that at the clinic they were advised that they shouldn’t have to take one after the postvaccination because it never records any higher than 80. The results showed 196. For the submission, I will also submit that this is my medical information. For the members opposite who question where I’m at: trust the science.

Botox: Does the COVID-19 Vaccine Really Make You Immune to Botox?#Botox #COVID19 #Vaccine #Immune #Botox

Does your Botox seem to be fading faster than usual? Apparently, you’re not alone: Not only are doctors taking to social media to report patients needing more frequent touch-ups, but a recent study found that Botox could be less effective after COVID vaccination. The key word there is could, though: The report states that Botox “might be less effective” postvaccination, noting that “further…

Wow, I've had friends who were flattened by pertussis, but I didn't know about the short effectiveness of the booster. Thank you for passing that on. I just checked (yup, I'd double-check my doctor too):

"Immunity typically wanes two to four years after administration of the acellular pertussis vaccine, although this can occur as early as one year postvaccination. Individuals with natural infection also experience waning immunity, including children with a history of pertussis." under "Why Does Pertussis Remain a Common Disease Despite High Vaccination Rates?"

It's been about a month since I got whooping cough and I'm still feeling the symptoms because I literally can't yell anymore. I mean. I *can*. If I really really tried. But suddenly raising my voice has me choked on my breath. And when I'm talking for a long time I'll swallow every few words. It's horrible.

Anyway if you're an adult you should be getting your TDaP boosted every ten years. If you're in your early 20s like me, it's probably been ten years if not more since your last pediatric TDaP, so check with your doctor about getting it boosted. You really do *not* want to get whooping cough. It's not fun.

Also. If you have a persistent cough that feels different from any other cough you've had before, listen to your body and get that checked out. Whooping cough wasn't even top on my radar when I went to the doctor, but I had a cough that felt different from anything I'd experienced before. The characteristic "whooping" part of whooping cough doesn't usually start until you're a few weeks into the infection, and if you have it, you want to start on antibiotics *before* it gets really bad. I unfortunately got the "whooping" part of the infection just a day after I went to the doctor and started antibiotics. It wasn't fun at all and I actually thought I was going to die because I couldn't breathe. But it could have been so much worse if I hadn't started on antibiotics, and at least after I finished my course of antibiotics I was no longer contagious.

TLDR: Whooping cough is much worse than the silly sounding name suggests so get vaccinated.

Like I was saying earlier: mRNA vaccines have poor effect on long term immune memory, but keeping up to date with your shots improves its general efficacy.

By Mary Van Beusekom, MS

A team led by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) researchers studying Medicare claims data during the early Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant months conclude that a third dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine provides significant protection against hospitalization and death compared with two doses but wanes substantially after 4 months.

The research, published today in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, was based on data from 8.1 million community-dwelling Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiaries ages 65 years and older who received a second or third dose of the Moderna or Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine from December 2021 to March 2022. Of all eligible beneficiaries, 73.3% received a third dose of the original mRNA COVID-19 vaccine by the end of the study period.

77%, 73% effective 14 to 60 days postvaccination Fourteen to 60 days postvaccination, third-dose Moderna relative vaccine effectiveness (RVE, compared with two doses) against hospitalization was 77.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 76.0% to 78.4%), and Pfizer/BioNTech RVE was 72.5% (95% CI, 70.8% to 74.0%). The added benefit was high for 61 days to 4 months (Moderna RVE, 42.1% [95% CI, 37.5% to 46.3%]; Pfizer RVE, 51.0% [95% CI, 48.0% to 53.7%) but waned substantially thereafter.

Participants with a previous medically attended COVID-19 diagnosis derived substantial protection against hospitalization after a third vaccine dose for 14 to 60 days (Moderna RVE, 71.1%; 95% CI, 62.6% to 77.6% and Pfizer RVE, 65.5%; 95% CI, 55.1%, 73.5%). Both vaccines still provided a benefit—albeit waning—for up to 120 days in these patients.

A third dose of Pfizer was only 5.4% effective against hospitalization after 120 days for those with a previous medically attended COVID-19 diagnosis, while Moderna provided a greater benefit for this group at that timepoint (RVE, 43.1%). The benefits were similar across all age-groups and both sexes and were observed more in participants with weakened immunity than in those with healthy immune systems.

Moderna more effective against hospitalization A three-dose Moderna vaccine regimen was more effective against COVID-19 hospitalization than the Pfizer regimen at 14 to 60 days (RVE, 35.2%; 95% CI, 30.2% to 39.9%), 61 to 90 days (RVE, 40.6%; 95% CI, 36.5% to 44.6%), and 91 to 120 days (RVE, 34.8%; 95% CI, 29.0% to 40.2%).

"Our observed differences between brands could be partly due to the higher dosage of Moderna (100 µg [microgram] for the third-dose primary series for certain immunocompromised individuals and 50 µg for the first booster dose for the general population) compared to Pfizer-BioNTech (30 µg) vaccines," the study authors wrote.

There were no significant differences in effectiveness against COVID-19 hospitalization between brands after 120 days following a third dose (RVE, 7.5%; 95% CI, 0.9% to 15.2%). But more severe outcomes such as death and in-hospital death showed significant differences in effectiveness between brands 14 to 90 days after a third dose.

"With more recent formulations of COVID-19 vaccines and new dominating SARS-CoV-2 variants, additional studies that investigate waning effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines are needed to inform the design of future vaccination programs, especially for high-risk individuals," the researchers wrote.

I always love showing off our fabulous hand mirrors, and I am especially fans of our two Gustav Klimt designs — the famous “Portrait Of Adele Bloch Bauer” and “The Kiss” — so I held them together for a photo. In looking closer at them next to each other, Adele looks a little concerned, deep in thought in hers, and in the other, the two lovers are happily kissing, oblivious to everything around them…. and I couldn’t help but think of the angst in waiting for the Covid Vaccines to become available, AND the joy and possibility (and hugs and kisses) we hanker for post 2nd vaccine (or single if you went J&J) and the requisite waiting period for them to take full effect! Either way! Adorable hand mirrors to gaze at your lovely faces!
