As if we needed more evidence on the effectiveness of COVID and any other vaccine, but yet even with all the scientific evidence, some of you crackpots will spew Twitter and other non-medical information thinking it is the truth.
The Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines can cause myocarditis but evidence suggests they don’t cause infertility, Guillain-Barré syndrome or Bell’s palsy, according to a new report.
The report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine reviewed evidence for more than a dozen potential harms of the COVID-19 vaccines after the Health Resources and Services Administration requested it form a committee to do so. The report addresses many of the health conditions that fueled vaccine skepticism during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Myocarditis and pericarditis – inflammation of the heart muscle and the lining outside the heart, respectively – have rarely been observed after the Moderna and Pfizer shots. It’s more common among young males within a week of receiving the second shot. Most patients respond well to medicine and recover quickly.
The committee found that evidence suggests the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines don’t cause Guillain-Barré syndrome – a rare condition in which a person’s own immune system attacks their body’s nerves. Data additionally suggests the shots don’t cause infertility or Bell’s palsy, a condition that causes sudden weakness in the muscles of one side of the face.
Evidence also suggests the shots don’t cause thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome – a rare blood clotting condition also called TTS – or heart attack, according to the report.
The report found that evidence was inadequate to accept or reject a causal relationship for several potential harms, including chronic headache, tinnitus, capillary leak syndrome and sudden death.
“Despite a large body of evidence from extraordinary efforts by investigators around the world, our committee found that in many cases, if not most, evidence was insufficient to accept or reject causality for a particular potential harm from a specific COVID-19 vaccine,” committee vice chair Anne Bass of Weill Cornell Medicine said in a statement.
Bass noted that identifying a harm does not mean it happens frequently.
“Harms associated with vaccines are rare,” she said.
The report comes shortly after another published by the CDC found that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are not linked to sudden cardiac death among previously healthy young people.

Were COVID-19 Vaccines to Blame for Infertility? Heart Attacks? A New Report Weighs In
