Johnson & Johnson vaccine linked to rare cases of autoimmune disorder:
The Food and Drug Administration announced a change to the fact sheet on Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine Monday, warning of an increased risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome, a neurological disorder that damages the nerves and can lead to paralysis.
"Based on an analysis of Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting (VAERS) data, there have been 100 preliminary reports following vaccination with the Janssen vaccine after approximately 12.5 million doses administered," an FDA spokesperson said in a statement to CNET. Ninety-five of the cases were serious and required hospitalization, with one reported death, according to the FDA.
The cases of Guillain-Barré usually occurred about two weeks after vaccination and were typically found in males aged 50 and older, according to a statement by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC said it will discuss the link between the US's only single-dose COVID vaccine and the autoimmune disorder at an upcoming meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. It also said that most people fully recover from Guillain-Barré syndrome.
The known benefits of Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine continue to outweigh the known risks, the FDA said. But those who got a Johnson & Johnson shot should seek medical attention if they develop the following symptoms, per the FDA: weakness or tingling sensations, especially in the legs or arms, that's worsening and spreading to other parts of the body; difficulty walking; difficulty with facial movements, including speaking, chewing or swallowing; double vision or inability to move eyes; or difficulty with bladder control or bowel function.
[...] Guillain-Barré can occur after infections with viruses such as the flu, Epstein Barr or Zika, the CDC reports. Guillain-Barré also occurs after infection with Campylobacter bacteria, which is the most common bacterial cause of diarrhea. It has also been been associated with other vaccines, such as those for the flu and shingles, according to the FDA. Although most people fully recover from Guillain-Barré syndrome, it can lead to severe nerve damage and paralysis. It's also most common in men and people over age 50.

Experimental drugs and treatments linked to bad side effects! Who'da thunk it?
We should count ourselves fortunate that we aren't getting Sinovac. Less effective, and I've read a couple rumors the side effects are more frequent. Ehhhh . . .

Thankfully we're doing the experiments now so the people who get the approved (or not) vaccines will know what long term side effects are present.
All of you who participated have my thanks, since I'll probably have to get it sooner or later. Worst case I'll have a few months advance notice when any long term side effects hit half the population. I hope it doesn't turn out as bad as the blue pill.

Hahahaha, good to see another Jew's mask slipping, finally an honest user posting under username. They're probably stopping the mass-killing/crippling vaccine program early because too many Jewish Boksheviks and not enough rednecks and minorities were gettin' it.
In other words, the Jews tried to Jew and only Jewed themselves...unless Big Pharma is run by Zionist Jews rather than Bolshevik Jews. Those Bolshevik Jews are getting too noisy and starting to tippietoe on the Zionists' turf, so the needles had to come out and the masks had to come on. Now put your fuckin' masks on, ya Bolsheviks and Shabbos Goy degenerates!

No, it's actually coming along nicely. We have almost all our people protected while at the same time bullshitting the idiot rednecks into thinking they shouldn't get it, so they'll eventually die out from the disease.
I originally thought the plan was insane, I thought nobody would be THAT stupid to fall for it, but hey, what can I say, it worked.

The fact that it contained a lot of mercury. Things are safe until we find out that they are not.

You act all smug, but look at the low number of new cases in China... sometimes even zero. That Sinovac must be working really well!
As for side effects -- being forcibly welded into your home happens all the time, everywhere.

Smug? If you say so.
And, if you accept the CCP's storyline without question, maybe you'd be interested in a nice bridge too.

GBS also linked to flu vaccine, and some other vaccines, and has been for many years... and yet we are still dishing out flu vaccines, usually new ones each year.
Turns out that GBS is also associated with getting the actual flu, just as it is with getting the actual covid.
It remains very rare after vaccination or disease, and from what I've seen so far the disease is still a lot higher risk. Now of course the risk of getting the vaccination is 100% if you choose to get it, whereas the risk of getting the disease is probably close to 100% (given latest variants) if no one gets vaccinated. Lowest personal risk, as always with everything, is to let others face the risks for you - i.e. get everyone else vaccinated until disease is gone and you don't need to risk the vaccination. Some people step up to act for the good of all, others hide behind them, plus ca change.

Or maybe it's a British thing since they also have a virus lab.

Fortunately, Sinovac comes with a warning label: "Made in China"
There have been reports of Sinovac vials that contained nothing but saline, which naturally did not have the desired effect (whatever that may be). Given that, who knows what some batches have been made of.
And there is no Alkibiades to come back and save us from ourselves.
