COVID-19 Vaccines May Have Led To “Post-Vaccination Syndrome” In Small Number Of People, Study Suggests

The New York Times (2/19, Mandavilli) reports, “The Covid-19 vaccines were powerfully protective, preventing millions of deaths.” However, “in a small number of people, the shots may have led to a constellation of side effects that includes fatigue, exercise intolerance, brain fog, tinnitus and dizziness, together referred to as ‘post-vaccination syndrome,’ according to a small new study.” A number of “people with this syndrome appear to show distinct biological changes, the research found – among them differences in immune cells, reawakening of a dormant virus called Epstein-Barr, and the persistence of a coronavirus protein in their blood.” The findings were published in medRxiv, but they have “not yet been published in a scientific journal.”
