am starting to prepare the data from our #vaccineinjuries #PostVacSyndrome survey for analysis today

just having a look at the raw data output and this stands out. most participants report no health problem that affected their day-to-day living prior to the offending vaccine

after the offending vax general health was reduced to being very poor

even those who had no indication something could go wrong, who led completely unrestricted lives, had their world turned upside down after vaccination

many already chronically ill folk seem to have on their mind that they might react badly (and there was a distinct lack of chronic illness patients in trials), and indeed it seems ME and long COVID patients have a high prevalence of severe reactions (maybe around 20 %).

but for many who the vaccine ruined, such side effects were completely unexpected. in other words, just like #LongCovid and post-infection syndromes (e.g. #MECFS, #LymeDisease), a severe reaction could hit any of us

important for #MedTwitter: most #VaccineInjured #PostVacSyndrome patients who had another vaccine after their offending dose got WORSE.

we should NOT be recommending further #covidvaccines in this group

@P_H_S_Official @NHSScotland @UKHSA @NHSuk @gmcuk @NICEComms

nearly half (43 %) of those who answered this question have been off work for 6 months or more or have had to stop working completely

this surprises me; most #PostVacSyndrome patients who responded to our survey did not get acute flu-like symptoms

last up before i get cracking actually sorting the data:

most reactions occurred within a week, very much in line with an acute inflammatory response

just wanna give a h/t to @React19org in particular who have been collecting fantastic data for a long while now
