The FDA Uncovers Yet Another Dangerous Side Effect of the Covid-19 'Vaccines': Blood Clotting and Risk of Pulmonary Embolism

The Food and Drug Administration has uncovered another dangerous side effect of the Covid mRNA shots.

The Food and Drug Administration has uncovered another dangerous side effect of the Covid mRNA shots: A risk of blood clotting and pulmonary embolism.

A recent study drawing on over thirty million datapoints from the the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) data system shows a heightened risk of pulmonary embolism, as well as the known elevated risk for myocarditis.

"We evaluated 14 outcomes of interest following COVID-19 vaccination using the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) data covering 30,712,101 elderly persons," the international study in the journal Elsevier stated. "The CMS data from December 11, 2020 through Jan 15, 2022 included 17,411,342 COVID-19 vaccinees who received a total of 34,639,937 doses. We conducted weekly sequential testing and generated rate ratios (RR) of observed outcome rates compared to historical (or expected) rates prior to COVID-19 vaccination."

The findings supply yet more evidence that the Covid mRNA shots should not be recommended without the standard risks of serious side effects.

"Four outcomes met the threshold for a statistical signal following BNT162b2 vaccination including pulmonary embolism (PE; RR = 1.54), acute myocardial infarction (AMI; RR = 1.42), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC; RR = 1.91), and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP; RR = 1.44)," the study found. The term RR [Risk Ratio] is an expression of the relative risk of the pharmaceutical product versus a placebo. An RR of 1.5 represents a 50% heightened risk for the given side effect.

The study couches the findings in the typical manner: Claiming that the benefits of the 'vaccines' outweigh the 'risks.' However, that would only be clearly the case if a patient did not have natural antibodies and was at increased due to risk factors such as age, obesity, or immunocompromisation. Seroprevalence data show that nearly every American in the United States has been exposed to SARS-CoV-2.

The FDA said it was not taking any action based on the study because the findings do not prove the vaccines cause any of the four outcomes. The FDA claimed the findings “are still under investigation and require more robust study.”

Dr. Peter McCullough, chief medical adviser for the Truth for Health Foundation, told The Epoch Times via email that the new paper “corroborates the concerns of doctors that the large uptick in blood clots, progression of atherosclerotic heart disease, and blood disorders is independently associated with COVID-19 vaccination.”

Steve Kirsch, a popular Covid response critic who publishes on Substack, also expressed frustration with the FDA's ability and willingness to explain the high correlation of Covid vaccination and  elevated risk of serious health conditions.

"The FDA spotted a safety signal using the CMS database that the vaccine might cause pulmonary embolism (PE). But they aren’t sure if it is the COVID vaccine or not. After all, it could be something else like some new virus that nobody knows about yet!" Kirsch snarked.

"But the signal is crystal clear in the VAERS database," he continued. "It generated a safety signal at least a year ago, but unfortunately, the CDC isn’t monitoring VAERS for safety; they just maintain it to be compliant with the law."

"The PE signal is over 6,500 times normal for ONLY the COVID vaccines," he added. "The counts are normal for all the other vaccines. If it isn’t the vaccine that is causing this, what is? And why is it ONLY affecting people who get the COVID vaccine? Nobody at the FDA is able to explain this."

"Bottom line: The CDC isn’t looking at any of the safety signals, so they won’t find any," he said. "The FDA is equally clueless and it will take decades before they can tie the pulmonary embolism to the vaccine."

A Washington Post story recently pointed out the majority of Americans dying with Covid are now 'fully vaccinated' for the disease, although they may not have the latest in the already considerable line of 'boosters.'

“For the first time, a majority of Americans dying from the coronavirus received at least the primary series of the vaccine,” the Post analysis conceded.
