In early 2021, some patients were developing a rare yet life-threatening condition in which their blood would clot after getting a COVID-19 vaccine. In these patients, their bodies were mistakenly attacking their own platelets, causing them to clump together and resulting in blood clots and low platelet counts. Researchers didn’t know why. Now, a new study may offer an answer. In a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers in Australia, Germany, and Canada analyzed 100 patients who took adenovirus vaccines and developed vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, also known as VITT. They found that VITT was likely...

From sagging jowls and sulfurous burps to deflated breasts and surprise pregnancies, the side effects of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs have ranged from subtle to strange. Now, new research suggests that these wildly popular medications may also be throwing off critical medical imaging scans, interfering with doctors’ ability to detect serious — even deadly — diseases. Experts say this could lead to delayed diagnoses and treatments for some patients, while others might undergo tests and procedures they didn’t need in the first place. Originally developed to treat Type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 meds have become a sensation due to their powerful weight-loss...

When we think about the side effects of medicines, we might think of nausea, fatigue or dizziness. But there’s another, lesser-known risk that can have lasting – and sometimes permanent – consequences: hearing loss. A wide range of prescription and over-the-counter drugs are known to be ototoxic, meaning they can damage the inner ear and affect hearing or balance. Ototoxicity refers to drug or chemical-related damage to the cochlea, which affects hearing, and the vestibular system, which controls balance. Symptoms can include tinnitus (ringing in the ears), hearing loss (often starting with high-frequency sounds), dizziness or balance problems or a...

A popular and controversial drug used for weight loss is among others that could potentially have extremely serious side effects. According to multiple studies, patients taking drugs such as Ozempic may experience conditions that cause inflammation and the blockage of blood flow to their eyes. That could result in severe and possibly irreversible vision loss, the Daily Mail reported Monday. “Now, researchers have detailed nine new reports of US patients who went blind after taking semaglutide or tirzepatide, the active ingredients in Ozempic and Mounjaro, respectively,” the article continued: The researchers wrote in JAMA Ophthalmology last month that it’s not...

Dr. Philip McMillan posted a question on LinkedIn: “Suppose autopsies showed vasculitis as the most common pathology in vaccinated deaths.
