Introduction: This population-based retrospective cohort study assesses rates of adverse events (AEs) involving cerebral thromboembolism (CTE) after COVID-19 vaccines. Methods: Data were collected from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 2023. CTE AEs after COVID-19 vaccines were compared to those after influenza vaccines and after all other vaccines using proportional reporting ratio (PRR) analysis by time. Results: There are 5137 cerebral thromboembolism AEs reported in the 3 years (36 months) after COVID-19 vaccines compared to 52 AEs for the influenza vaccines over the past 34 years (408 months) and 282 AEs for all other vaccines (excluding COVID-19) over the past 34 years (408 months). The PRR’s are significant when comparing AEs by time from COVID-19 vaccines to that of the influenza vaccines (p < 0.0001) or to that of all other vaccines (p < 0.0001). The CTE AEs PRR by time (95% confidence intervals) for the COVID-19 vaccine AEs vs influenza AEs is 1120 (95% confidence interval (723-1730), p < 0.0001) and for COVID-19 vaccines vs all others is 207 (95% confidence interval (144-296), p < 0.0001). Cerebral venous thromboembolism AEs are female predominant with a female/male odds ratio of 1.63 (95% confidence interval (1.52-1.74), p < 0.0001). Conversely, cerebral arterial thromboembolism has a nonsignificant male preponderance. Cerebral venous thromboembolism is far more common than cerebral arterial thromboembolism over 36 months with an odds ratio (OR) of 14.8 (95% confidence interval 14.0-15.5, p < 0.0001). Atrial fibrillation, the most common identifiable cause of cerebral arterial thromboembolism, occurs far more commonly after the COVID-19 as compared to all other vaccines with a PRR of 123 (95% CI 88.3-172, p < 0.0001). Conclusions: There is an alarming breach in the safety signal threshold concerning cerebral thrombosis AEs after COVID-19 vaccines compared to that of the influenza vaccines and even when compared to that of all other vaccines. An immediate global moratorium on the use of COVID-19 vaccines is necessary with an absolute contraindication in women of reproductive age.

Objectives Assess rates of adverse events (AE) after COVID-19 vaccines experienced by women of reproductive age, focusing on pregnancy and menstruation, using data collected by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) database. Design Population-based retrospective cohort study. Setting US and global entries in US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). Participants CDC VAERS entries from January 1, 1998 to June 30, 2022. Interventions None. Main Outcome Measures A proportional reporting ratio analysis is performed using data in the VAERS system comparing adverse events (AE) reported post-COVID-19 vaccines with that of post-Influenza vaccines. Results COVID-19 vaccines, when compared to the Influenza vaccines, are associated with a significant increase in AE with all proportional reporting ratios of > 2.0: menstrual abnormalities, miscarriage, fetal chromosomal abnormalities, fetal malformation, fetal cystic hygroma, fetal cardiac disorders, fetal arrhythmias, fetal cardiac arrest, fetal vascular malperfusion, fetal growth abnormalities, fetal abnormal surveillance, fetal placental thrombosis, low amniotic fluid, preeclampsia, premature delivery, preterm premature rupture of membrane, fetal death/stillbirth, and premature baby death (all p values were much smaller than 0.05). When normalized by time-available, doses-given, or persons-received, all COVID-19 vaccine AE far exceed the safety signal on all recognized thresholds. Conclusions Pregnancy complications and menstrual abnormalities are significantly more frequent following COVID-19 vaccinations than Influenza vaccinations. A worldwide moratorium on the use of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy is advised until randomized prospective trials document safety in pregnancy and long-term follow-up in offspring.

Introduction: This study explores the potential associations between COVID-19 vaccination and neuropsychiatric conditions. Methods: Data were collected from the CDC and FDA. The VAERS database was queried from January 1, 1990, to December 27, 2024, for adverse events (AEs) involving neuropsychiatric complications following COVID-19 vaccination. The timeframe included 420 months for all vaccines except COVID-19 vaccines which have been available to the public for only 48 months. Proportional reporting ratios (PRRs) were calculated by time comparing AEs after COVID-19 vaccination to those after influenza vaccination and to those after all other vaccines. The CDC/FDA stipulates a safety concern if a PRR is ≥ 2. Results: Comparing COVID-19 vaccination to influenza vaccinations, the CDC/FDA’s safety signals (PRR, 95% confidence interval, p-value, Z-score) were breached for the following combinations: 47 AEs associated with cognitive impairment (PRR: 118, 95% CI: 87.2-160, p < 0.0001, Z-score: 30.9); 28 AEs associated with general psychiatric illness (PRR: 115, 95% CI: 85.1-156, p < 0.0001, Z-score: 30.8); and 11 AEs associated with suicide/homicide (PRR: 80.1, 95% CI: 57.3-112, p < 0.0001, Z-score: 25.7). Conclusions: There are alarming safety signals regarding neuropsychiatric conditions following COVID-19 vaccination, compared to the influenza vaccinations and to all other vaccinations combined.

COVID-19 can have short- and long-term health consequences, including various cardiovascular, respiratory, hematologic, autoimmune, and neurological conditions. Although it is often claimed that COVID-19 mRNA vaccinations reduce COVID-19 severity and post-acute sequelae, these assertions are refuted by evidence of extensive mRNA immunization-related harms that appear to be amplified by SARS-CoV-2 infection, resulting in considerable overlap in reported adverse outcomes. Spike proteins from both sources persist in the human body over the long-term, leading to immune dysfunction, inflammation, autoimmunity, organ dysfunction, and overlapping toxicities. We hypothesize that the mRNA vaccinations create a persistent toxic milieu of spike protein, inflammatory lipid nanoparticles, and DNA impurities, amplifying morbidity and mortality risks commonly ascribed to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Many 2021-2024 morbidity/mortality events in highly vaccinated populations, though often attributed solely to COVID-19 illness (due to close temporal associations with laboratory-confirmed infection), were more likely to result from these interactions or “hybrid harms”. Evidence supporting our hypothesis includes studies of negative efficacy, overlapping pathologies (e.g., myocarditis and thrombosis), redundant mechanisms, and epidemiological surges in excess mortality during the Omicron era (since December 2021) in extensively vaccinated countries. Case report data indicate that spike protein production along with associated “spikeopathies” may persist for at least three years, during which a coronavirus infection could trigger a new disease syndrome that would logically be attributed to the infection based on the timing. In contrast there is a relatively mild course for Omicron infections in the unvaccinated. Ongoing spike production from prior mRNA vaccinations is likely to predispose Omicron-infected individuals to cumulative adverse effects over time. The amplified toxicities and immunopathologic effects may help account for near-synchronous waves of COVID-19 and all-cause mortality in the Omicron era. This novel framework calls for re-examining the unique immunopathological consequences of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection in COVID-19 mRNA-vaccinated individuals and consideration of the implications for future public health strategies.

The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has the potential to cause or promote a number of health problems in both the short and long terms. It is often claimed that the COVID-19 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccinations can reduce the severity of COVID-19 and its sequelae. We counter this claim with evidence and moreover hypothesize that the mRNA vaccinations are triggering mechanisms that result in an amplification of COVID-19 morbidity along with the “post-acute sequelae of COVID-19” or PASC. Since 2021, the coronavirus infections were often superimposed on a preexisting mRNA vaccine-induced milieu of toxic spike protein, inflammatory lipid nanoparticles, and residual process-related DNA impurities. Spike proteins resulting from both the mRNA vaccination and the natural SARS-CoV-2 infection have been shown to persist for extended periods, raising parallel concerns regarding potential implications for long-term safety with this vaccination. Many, if not most, of the morbidity and mortality events attributed to COVID-19 in extensively-vaccinated populations in 2022-2023 were due to the long-term background persistence of spike protein and other vaccine-associated components resulting from previous COVID-19 mRNA vaccinations. Although close temporal associations with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 often engendered the assumption of viral causation, the morbidity and mortality events are plausibly attributed to a combination of mass vaccination and coronavirus infections. The overlapping spike-related toxicities and immunological effects of mRNA vaccinations and coronavirus infections have resulted in pronounced immune dysregulation and inflammatory cascades that likely account for near-synchronous waves of COVID-19 and all-cause mortality. We present research suggesting a potential for coronavirus infection-induced amplification of adverse events (AEs) associated with the COVID-19 mRNA vaccinations, including a diverse range of cardiovascular, hematological, autoimmune, and neurological conditions that frequently overlap with PASC. In this paper, we coin the phrase “Hybrid Harms Hypothesis”, which calls for re-examining the unique immunopathological dynamics of coronavirus infection in COVID-19 mRNA-vaccinated individuals and their implications for public health strategies.
