+OverSword Posted January 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Quote Norwegian health officials have warned that vaccinating the most frail older people with serious underlying health conditions could be dangerous after the country reported more than 25 deaths. The Norwegian Medicines Agency first reported on Thursday that 23 elderly people had died in a short time after receiving their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine, 13 of which may have suffered from deadly side effects. However, the number of deaths has been updated to 29 people as of Sunday, according to Bloomberg. According to the agency, "all deaths" are linked to the Pfizer vaccine, which was the only one available in the country until Friday.

Eldorado Posted January 22, 2021 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Latest.... Pfizer Vaccine Safe for Elderly Despite Norway Scare The World Health Organization said it sees no evidence that Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE’s Covid-19 vaccine contributed to the deaths of elderly people and urged that the shot still be used. Reports of deaths “are in line with the expected, all-cause mortality rates and causes of death in the sub-population of frail, elderly individuals, and the available information does not confirm a contributory role for the vaccine in the reported fatal events,” the WHO Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety said in a statement on Friday. The risk-benefit balance of the vaccine “remains favorable in the elderly.” Bloomberg 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewinn Posted January 22, 2021 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Both my parents have had the vaccine and so far so good, my mums arm was sore for a day after the injection at the site of the injection but okay now. my dad who's receiving chemo had no side effects from the vaccine. Norway have vaccinated 65,428. The UK has vaccinated 5.8Million and not a single reported fatality due to the vaccine. what's going on in Norway? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key word?? The reason I say that is because the only reason I heard about this is because someone I know in the Philippines asked me about it. I had to google this story and at first I thought it was fake because 90% of the sources are from Asia, not Europe or North America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the UK Health authority would hide any deaths resulting from the vaccine. we live in a world of social media in the west, if there was a spate of deaths it would be all over twitter etc.... no doubt some poor sod will die from a reaction to the vaccine but so far its 0 - in - 5.8million. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if the vaccine aggravates a pre-existing condition then they can attribute it to the condition instead of the vaccine. I think all of these elderly people in Norway probably experienced that but instead they attributed it to the vaccine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papageorge1 Posted January 22, 2021 #13 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Personal story: my ex-sister-in-law works at a hospital cleaning rooms including covid patient rooms. She is about 63 years old, a smoker still I believe, and had covid with a 107 degree (that's not a typo) fever that required intensive care hospitalization a few months back. Amazingly she recovered from all that and returned to work again after a few weeks. I just learned yesterday that her employer required her to get the vaccine against her desire. She felt unwell for four days after the vaccine and then went to the hospital with heart attack symptoms. Then I learned she had had a massive heart attack and they had to do a dissection of the heart. She is sedated and on a ventilator and initial attempts to bring her out of her induced coma didn't go well and she's now back in a coma. Edit: I am not an anti-vaccination type but after reading the thread title and my sister-in-law I would be concerned about the dangers to at least frailer people.

Glad I waited it out and didn't take the vaccine. There's no evidence that the vaccines had a causal link to those deaths. See Eldorado's source. I can grab you another if you like. These vaccines were administered to those who were both a.) in very poor condition prior to vaccination and b.) elderly. 7 minutes ago, XenoFish said: Why do you care? Because not only are you potentially putting yourself at risk, but additionally you are potentially putting others at unnecessary risk all on the basis of some unfounded paranoia. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still why do you care? I made a statement when the vaccine was first announced that I'd let others be the test subject for it before I took it. We'll I'm letting that happen. Maybe I'm just not as confidence in some things as other people are. Maybe I'm a tad distrustful. As for my paranoia being unfounded? 29 people are dead. Sure the chances of that happening to me are slim to none, however what other side effects might manifest from this is yet to be known. I'd rather bide my time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a while before they are going to be available to everyone that wants it. They are still vaccinating 75 and older here. Next it will be 65 and over. I don't know what criteria they will use after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by November and things look better then maybe I will. Then perhaps some of the people on UM will get off my back about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
