 Are Vaccines Effective on Coronavirus?

Hello, friends!

Seeing the rising coronavirus cases in the country, people are pinning their hopes on vaccines. But on one hand, we are seeing that some vaccines are causing blood clotting cases. We got to see some extremely deadly and dangerous side effects.

On the other hand, we are seeing cases where people have been vaccinated, but they still got infected by Covid-19. Obviously, after all this, you would wonder if you should take the vaccine. Come let's try to answer these questions today.

 

Side effects of vaccines :

the detrimental side effects of blood clottings that we are seeing are caused by the AstraZeneca vaccine by Oxford. Today, there are more than 100 countries using this vaccine.

In India, there are two main vaccines in use. Covishield is the same AstraZeneca vaccine. Initially, when this vaccine was being tested, no severe side effects were seen. But when its use began, the first cases of this dangerous side effect were seen in Norway.

Four health workers aged less than 50 got blood clotting after taking this vaccine. As well as low platelet count.

Blood clotting can be very detrimental if it occurs in organs like your brain. It can block the blood flow which can eventually cause death.

2 out of the 4 health workers died because of a brain hemorrhage. And the others were hospitalized.

After this, similar cases were seen in Denmark where one woman died. Also in Italy where another person died. Even in the UK, seven such deaths have been seen. After seeing all these cases, several countries have put a temporary ban on the use of this vaccine.

 Denmark was the first country to suspend the use of the   AstraZeneca vaccine. 

 After that Iceland and Norway did the same.

These countries have said that as a precautionary measure, they are stopping the use of the vaccine until there is no additional data on the severity of the side effects and the risk to the people.

Today, several medical organizations have studied this vaccine in detail and we now have hard data available about the risk from it.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has said that the risk of blood clotting from the use of this vaccine is 1 out of 100,000 cases.

It means that if 1 lakh people take this vaccine, there may be one case where blood clotting may occur.

This risk is a very rare risk.

According to the British Health Regulator, this is even lower. They've said that the risk is as low as 1 out of 250,000 cases.

You might think that this is still quite significant. Where there will be one case out of every 100,000 cases. But compare it to the other things.

For any person to die in a car accident, the average risk is approximately 1 out of 500. To die from drowning is 1 out of 1,000.

This 1/100,000 is as probable as you correctly guessing the last 5 digits of a random person's phone number.

I want to give you an idea of what it means when we talk about a very small risk.

How small it actually is. This is why, friends, these medical organizations have recommended that this vaccine should be continued to be used. Because the risk of dying from the coronavirus is much higher when compared to the risk of dying from being vaccinated.

Even so, some countries do not want to take this risk.

Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Netherlands, Australia and Canada, these countries have stopped using the AstraZeneca vaccine for people under certain age groups.

This age group is between 50 to 60 years of age. In Germany, people under the age of 60 will not get the AstraZeneca vaccine. You'll ask now, why did they set an age limit?

The reason for this, friends, is that another thing found in the researches of these organizations is that the risk of blood clotting is more among the younger people as compared to the older people.

I found it surprising as well, but this side effect is seen mostly in young people.

Australia has recommended that people below the age of 50 should prefer taking other vaccines instead of AstraZeneca. Britain has said that people under the age of 30 should consider other vaccines.

Coming to India, our government has said that there have been no cases of blood clotting in the country.

All over the world, we are seeing the side effects of blood clotting from this vaccine but in India where so many vaccines have been given to people, there have been no cases.

I don't know how much you can trust the data given by the government because the government often hides the data.

But, in any case, experts and scientists say that this vaccine should be continued to be used especially in countries like India where coronavirus cases are rising rapidly.

Using this vaccine here would be beneficial for the country as compared to not using it fearing this small risk.

This was about the side effects.
