Frelga, you're right - either I misread 10 as 0, or the source I looked at got it wrong (typo, most likely; it was an industry news article). Still, there was a hint at a difference even then because the article said the FDA had looked at the disparity and decided it wasn't significant enough to stop emergency authorization of the vaccine. I believe there was also a stroke in a 25? 28? year old participant in another vaccine trial, which the investigator thought was related to the vaccination but the company successfully argued away. I saw that report posted somewhere but didn't keep a link and can't swear my memory is entirely accurate after a few months. I'm think it was one of the mRNA vaccines, probably Pfizer if I'm remembering correctly.
I was in two minds about whether to post this or not. It’s accurate but it might also be way too technical for the average person. I don’t think Dr. Bridle is used to writing for general audiences. But some might be able to get a fair amount of useful information out of it, especially those with a medical or biology background, and others can probably get the gist of it.

A Parental Guide to COVID-19 Vaccination
by Dr. Byram Bridle
(pdf available at the website)
I don’t see why he’s just labeled it for parents, except that he does give stats on the very low risk of SARS-COV2 for young people (in a nutshell, you’re more likely to die of drowning or getting hit by lightning than dying of COVID) and the risk/benefit equation does change greatly depending on age.
Something he doesn’t mention: Cells don’t normally pick up any significant amount of DNA/ RNA if you just inject it – basically, not a heck of a lot happens in that case except the extracellular DNA/RNA quickly breaks down. So earlier experiments with experimental DNA/ RNA vaccines forced these molecules into cells with a process called electroporation - a mild electrical current is used to temporarily make the local cells’ membranes more porous so the vaccine molecules get in. Electroporation is uncomfortable and would probably be unacceptable to use in people, so, the last time I really looked closely at research on this type of vaccine, they were looking for a different way to get it into cells in people. I assume this is where the lipid coating particles in the Moderna and Pfizer COVID vaccines come in. But the thing about electroporation is that it’s *local* and the vaccines wouldn’t be spreading throughout the body. Which also means that a lot of the past general research on DNA/RNA vaccines might not apply to the COVID vaccines.
There was a West Nile DNA vaccine for horses approved in 2005 and withdrawn by the manufacturer in 2010 due to too many side effects, but I’m pretty sure that also used electroporation.
Also regarding the COVID mRNA vaccines affecting tissues throughout the body, here’s an article on the really weird stuff radiologists are seeing on mammograms post-vaccination – enlarged lymph nodes throughout the mammary tissues, which you don’t normally see after any other vaccine.
https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2 ... mammograms
It all reinforces just how little we know about these vaccines that governments and politicians are pushing everyone to get immediately, regardless of whether or not they already have immunity to COVID from an infection or are even at risk from it.
EDIT to add this.
Possibly related to the lymphocyte proliferation described above. It's unclear and, as (s)he says, this is purely anecdotal at this point but I'd be concerned if I saw this too.
I posted this on a comment for another post regarding myocarditis but I don’t want it to get buried in there as I’m genuinely curious if anyone else has heard of this.
I made this alternate account to post about some anecdotal side effects I’ve noticed. For background, I am an RN and I work for an insurance company doing preauthorizations, including chemotherapy preauths. Part of my job includes reviewing the medical records to mostly do a double check that the dose and regimens requested meet clinical guidelines for the type of cancer, etc. I have had an alarming amount of patients lately who are all fairly young 20s-40s who were described as perfectly healthy and then became symptomatic following their covid vaccine. The notes all read the same... patient was perfectly healthy, then began to feel unwell and figured it was side effects from the vaccine but after swollen lymph nodes and fatigue, etc persist for weeks on weeks they go to the doctor and are diagnosed with lymphoma and now are getting chemo. Patients are diagnosed via biopsy showing lymphoma cells, obviously. There are articles on Google about the vaccine leading to false diagnosis of lymphoma because it causes lymphadenopathy, but once the lymphoma is biopsy proven I would say this is not a “false positive”.
Now of course this could be a coincidence, but like I said, I’m starting to see this more and more. I have not gotten the “vaccine” and have no plans to. Something does not sit right about all the bribery and peer pressure behind this.
Has anyone come across anything like this? I’m not sure if the vaccine is causing some sort of over-proliferation that’s leading to cancer development ? Again, this is all anecdotal information from my observations.
Some may find the article below of interest too. It’s a source I’m not crazy about but it’s a transcript of an interview with three actual scientists or doctors with a great deal of experience, so, oh well. And it’s the type of news the mainstream media and social media is suppressing in the interests of not encouraging what they like to call “vaccine hesitancy.” Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and media outlets have become the arbiters of “science” and “facts,” which is profoundly disturbing.
(I don’t know anything about the MP except that he speaks the truth about the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons – I’ve seen their statement elsewhere, where they threatened any doctor who said anything negative about masks, lockdowns, or vaccines.)

So my name is Byram and I am an associate professor of Viral Immunology at the University of Guelph. And since the Pandemic was declared, I have been trying to serve as a voice of objective scientific opinion so that the public can make the most informed decisions for themselves possible when it comes to issues related to COVID-19....
Two weeks ago, I gave an interview. It was a five minute radio interview. The company that runs the radio show did nothing wrong. The host asked me one question and she did absolutely nothing wrong. She was doing her job. The question she asked me was if I knew whether or not there could be a possible link between COVID-19 vaccines and cases of heart inflammation that have been reported around the world and young males. In this case, it was 12 young males in Israel. And I’ve been delving into the literature, uh, very deeply because I’m a vaccinologist. My entire research program is based on the development of novel vaccines. My publication record is based on publishing information about vaccines. So I have a lot of expertise in this area, and indeed I have worked along with a large number of collaborators, both within Canada and internationally. I have developed some serious concerns about the current COVID-19 vaccines.
And so I felt that I could express concern and that there might be a possible link between this heart inflammation that’s occurring, and these COVID-19 vaccines. After I did this interview, five minutes, again, trying to present to a lay audience. It was like a nuclear bomb went off in my world, and my life was thrown upside down. And I am sure my life will never be the same again. So within 24 hours, there was a libelous website that was put up using my domain name...
As some of you may know, since then even the CDC has had to admit that there have been cases of myocarditis linked to the vaccine in young people. IMO, probably in older people too, but, as with blood clots/ strokes/heart attacks, it’s harder to tease those out as vaccine-related in a group where it’s more likely to happen in general. They have convened an emergency meeting to discuss this issue in about a week.
And speaking of “vaccine hesitancy,” many people may not know that OSHA in the US said earlier that employers who mandate COVID vaccines would have to keep track of side effects as they do with other employer-mandated vaccines. I’m not sure about the legal issues but I believe this is because you can at least get compensation as a work injury if you have a bad reaction. Then OSHA later changed their minds and said they wouldn’t require it because they didn’t want to discourage employers from mandating COVID vaccines. They will revisit that decision in 2022, if I remember right.
Like a lot of things about this pandemic response, this rings an awful lot of alarm bells for me. Anyone who takes an emergency authorization vaccine (which is often people who work in labs with dangerous pathogens, so knowledgeable about science in the first place) is supposed to be given full information and no coercion, and that’s not happening.
And I'm not the only one who's increasingly bothered by what's happening with these particular vaccines:

Bioethics of Experimental COVID Vaccine Deployment under EUA: It’s time we stop and look at what’s going down.
Robert W Malone, MD, MS
I provide this brief essay for the TrialSite community because you are involved or at least interested in human subject clinical research. By way of background, please understand that I am a vaccine specialist and advocate, as well as the original inventor of the mRNA vaccine (and DNA vaccine) core platform technology. But I also have extensive training in bioethics from the University of Maryland, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, and Harvard Medical School, and advanced clinical development and regulatory affairs are core competencies for me.
Before examining the bioethical foundations of current policy and practice which underpin experimental COVID vaccine deployment in many in many western nations, allow me to begin by sharing some “real world” first-hand evidence.
I was on a call with a Canadian primary care physician last week for a couple of hours. He related the story of the six (in his mind) highly unusual clinical cases of post-vaccination adverse events that he has personally observed in his practice involving vaccination of his patients with the Pfizer mRNA vaccine product. ...
What was most alarming to me was that my clinical primary practice physician colleague told me that each of these cases were reported as per the proper channels in Canada, and each was summarily determined to not be vaccine related by the authorities without significant investigation. Furthermore, he reported to me that any practicing physician in Canada who goes public with concerns about vaccine safety is subjected to a storm of derision from academic physicians and potential termination of employment (state-controlled socialized medicine) and loss of license to practice....
...Information, comprehension, and voluntariness. To my eyes, it appears that in many regions public health leadership has stepped over the line and is now violating the bedrock principles which form the foundation upon which the ethics of clinical research are built. I believe that this must stop. We must have transparent public disclosure of risks – in a broad sense – associated with these experimental vaccines. It is either that, or the entire modern bioethical structure which supports human subjects research will have to be re-thought....
And I'm not sure what to make of this, if anything. But it would be surprising if a company made a business decision without decent data. There was at least one person who claimed that antibodies against the spike protein may interfere with the establishment of the placenta due to similarities in a placental protein, but that seems unlikely to me, given that plenty of women have had mild COVID during pregnancy without a miscarriage and others have gone on to become pregnant after they recovered from COVID. (though I have heard anecdotally about miscarriages that seem to occur soon after vaccination. And some of these vaccines seem to induce a huge antibody response against a single protein, out of proportion to what happens after natural recovery from COVID) Maybe they're worried about the surprising menstrual irregularities some women are reporting post-vaccination?

Chairman Leng Youbin, told a forum that sales will drop sharply in the coming one and two years since many women can not bear children within six months of coronavirus vaccination, mainland media reported.
China started vaccinating well before most countries did so it makes sense they'd see things sooner.
EDIT: Time will tell on the side effects, but the heavily biased media coverage, censorship and attacks on dissenting doctors, nurses and scientists are making me furious. It's also really pissing me off that Rachel "Impending Doom" Walensky, that arrogant ass Fauci (No, criticizing you is NOT equivalent to attacking science - if you can't take criticism you should never have gotten into science in the first place) and the CDC are dismissing every concern, as they did the myocarditis cases today with "oh well, it's rare; be sure to go and get a vaccine anyway." Unless they have a damn time machine I don't know about, there is no way for them to know what we'll find out about these vaccines in the medium to long term. Especially since they eliminated the control group from the clinical trials that were only supposed to end in 2022 or 2023.
On top of it, the CDC press release on myocarditis had a bunch of bullshit pseudo-certainty about COVID causing worse effects. Like many things they and the media have said about COVID, it's smoke and mirrors. You can claim it's technically true....if you include all age groups and especially if you focus on the groups who get seriously ill, as opposed to a couple of days of mild fever and a bit of a cough. But the thing is, they did not consider healthy CHILDREN as a separate group. If they can prove to me that the very mild colds/ asymptomatic infections COVID is causing in almost all healthy children are associated with myocarditis at a higher rate than these vaccines (especially considering that only about 1% of side effects are estimated to be reported to VAERS even under normal times - and there seem to be active campaigns to discourage reporting side effects with the COVID vaccines).... well, then we can talk. But frankly, I doubt it. The myocarditis from the vaccines was at levels much higher than they expected to see in this population, and there's no reason to think SARS-COV2 infections limited to the upper respiratory tract are causing myocarditis at a higher rate than influenza, RSV and other respiratory diseases in children.
But hey, never mind, the media will obediently parrot the CDC, and at least a few young people who would have shrugged off COVID and hardly even noticed will die. At least a few have already died of myocarditis, including a college student and a 13 year old.
Note: I certainly wouldn't discourage actual high risk children from being vaccinated after a consultation with their doctor, but vaccinating all healthy children for a disease they have little to no risk from, and dismissing all concerns about side effects (in both children and adults) is IMO evil.
Seriously, we could be sending vaccines to protect the elderly in other countries but instead they're busy forcing experimental vaccines on people who don't need and/or don't want them (and Moderna is already making boosters for when the authorities decree it's time for everyone to get another shot). And they're acting as if these hastily produced experimental vaccines are the only COVID vaccines we'll ever have, and everyone MUST take one of these, rather than wait for one that's gone through adequate human and animal testing before being released.
These days, I swear I'm living in lunatic world.
btw, the CDC also pulled a neat trick lately. They no longer count cases of COVID if you've been vaccinated unless you're sick (I've also heard only hospitalized or die) but are still, as far as I know, counting asymptomatic infections in unvaccinated people. I can only assume they don't really trust the data will demonstrate the efficacy of their vaccines in reducing transmission otherwise. (In fact, there has been plenty of evidence that you can still get infected even if vaccinated. No surprise, really, and who cares as long as you're protected from severe symptoms. These wouldn't be the first vaccines to protect from disease without necessarily stopping transmission.)
