The Covid vaccine may be linked to a small increase in stroke risk when given alongside a high-dose flu shot, health officials say.
A new analysis by the Food and Drug Administration found the link was clearest in adults over 85 and only applied to the Pfizer and Moderna bivalent Covid booster vaccines.
The FDA said the risk might stem from the flu vaccine alone and be completely unrelated to the Covid shots. Regardless, the report said the risk is still very small.
There were roughly three strokes or stroke-like events called transient ischemic attacks for every 100,000 doses given.
For comparison, in 2022 the death rate from Covid in over-85s was 1,224 per 100,000, with US health experts saying vaccination still outweighs the small risk.
It is the second analysis by health officials to flag a possible association with strokes and seniors after getting the combination of seasonal vaccines.
Meanwhile, a separate analysis by the FDA flagged up a small increase in the incidence of seizures after Covid vaccinations in children ages two to five.The Covid vaccine may be linked to a small increase in stroke risk when given alongside a high-dose flu shot, health officials say
The papers were posted online last week, and have not yet been vetted for publication in a scientific journal. Experts in vaccine safety said the studies were well done.

I’m not getting any vaccine this yr. I’m using hand sanitizer when I go to town

LOL!! Just what I always wanted.
This is a great way to reduce Social Security expenditures....
“Don’t forget to be patriotic and get your vaxxes, comrades!”
So when are the shot shills going to show up and try to discredit the source?

LOL!
In other words, if you are younger than 85 or you are getting the newest monovalent Covid vaccine and influenza vaccine at the same time, you are fine.
I’m going to get both vaccines at the same time in a couple of weeks.
One of the government's databases for storing post vaccination adverse events is called VAERS. It's been storing information for 30 years for all vaccines administered.
Of all post vaccination seizures recorded for 30+ years, 69% have been reported for the Covid 'vaccines.' Most adverse events are never reported to VAERS, so this is just a sampling of occurrence.
If I isolate only the bivalent Covid 'vaccine', it's displayed with the other vaccine taken so the chart looks messy as both that other vaccine and the Covid 'shot' are each awarded 1 'count' on the total.
Since the bivalent was trialed only on mice, not humans, I don't see a reason to expect improved safety, but YMMV:

If you still trust the drug companies to only have that in the mix I guess.
