New evidence confirms COVID-19 vaccines are overwhelmingly safe::More than 38 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in Ontario as of Oct. 8, with 23,002 reports of adverse reactions, an incidence of 0.06 per cent, Public Health Ontario says

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Previous research has shown the vast majority of cases are mild, patients recover quickly and risks can be averted by extending the time between doses.

That report provides extensive details about the serious cases, which included people who required a hospital admission or died, making it clear the vaccine was likely not the cause.

At the same time, a new study published by Canadian researchers found that babies whose mothers had been vaccinated against COVID-19 during pregnancy were less likely to experience serious health complications, be admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit or die.

The study, published this week in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, looked at data from more than 142,000 births in Ontario and followed infants for six months to determine their outcomes.

Sarah Jorgensen, one of the study’s authors, said the findings should provide reassurance to pregnant women that the vaccines are safe and can help protect their babies.

“Pregnant women and really young infants in the first couple of months, they’re also high-risk,” said Ms. Jorgensen, who is a pharmacist and a PhD candidate in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine’s Institute for Medical Science at the University of Toronto.

Did you guys know that bridges help people cross rivers?

[–] overzeetop@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I've seen enough bridge failures to know that they're all dangerous. You can't fool me - I'd rather drive through a river than take one of your so-called "safe" bridges. At least in my truck I'm in control, and my F150 with these snazzy AT tires and my belief in God can get me further than some steel and concrete "bridge" that some engineer in a lab cooked up.

What about their effectiveness?

I get that the first few versions might have stemmed the tide of the pandemic early on .. but how effective are the new doses now?

I'm not an antivacer but I do question the way the pandemic was handled and continues to be handled. I trust scientists, I trust the medical community, I trust our current level of knowledge and expertise ... I even trust our government to do the best they can with what they have ... I just don't trust seeing big corporate interests quietly influencing everything in the background.

I certainly don't trust anyone or anything that reprimands me or is threatened by my questions or concerns.

I would feel a whole lot better about all this if corporate and financial interests were completely disconnected from all our health care and pharmaceutical systems. Basically, anything that has to do with human bodily health should not be controlled or deeply influenced by monied interests.
