Retsef Levi, an MIT professor at the Sloan School of Management, recently coauthored an analysis of the CDC’s V-safe vaccine safety database. The study analyzed responses from approximately 9.9 million V-safe participants who received COVID-19 vaccines. Key findings:
- About 1.87% of participants reported a health deterioration lasting three months or longer that they attributed to COVID-19 vaccination.
- Roughly half of those individuals (about 1% of all participants) characterized their outcome as severe, including inability to work, difficulty performing daily activities, hospitalization, or potentially disabling symptoms.
- Frequently reported symptoms included fatigue, headache, joint pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, nausea, insomnia, tinnitus, and other multi-system complaints. [publicheal…ournal.com]

The “respondents,” of course, were only those who didn’t drop dead before they had a chance to respond.
Totally agree.
