Risk of Stroke Skyrockets With COVID-19 Infection After Vaccination

“Nahab et. al from Emory University analyzed a statewide database of COVID-19 vaccine recipients. Approximately 5 million adult Georgians received at least one COVID-19 vaccine between December 2020 and March 2022: 54 percent received BNT162b2 (Pfizer), 41 percent received mRNA-1273 (Moderna), and 5 percent received Ad26.COV2.S (Johnson & Johnson). Those with concurrent COVID-19 infection within 21 days postvaccination had an increased risk of ischemic (OR = 8.00, 95 percent CI: 4.18, 15.31) and hemorrhagic stroke (OR = 5.23, 95 percent CI: 1.11, 24.64).”
