European Groups Link Moderna’s Covid Vaccine to Chronic Hives
Meanwhile, in this county, there is a continued decline in share of adults with up-to-date vaccination.
It’s been a while since I reviewed the news related to COVID-19 vaccines, so I thought it was time to review the recent data and vaccination rates.
Last month, Swiss researchers reported that the monovalent Moderna COVID booster vaccine was associated with an elevated risk for hives lasting more than six weeks.
Among people who got an mRNA COVID vaccine booster and had new-onset hives reported to local allergists, 90% had vaccination precede CSU [chronic spontaneous urticaria, aka hives] in the canton of Vaud during the study period, as did 81% of patients in the nationwide cohort, reported Yannick Daniel Muller, MD, PhD, of the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, and coauthors.
Crude incidence rates of CSU following a booster dose in the two cohorts was 1.9-2.1 per 100,000 doses of Pfizer’s vaccine and 30.8-43.9 per 100,000 doses of Moderna’s product, according to their research letter in JAMA Network Openopens in a new tab or window.
The Danish Medicines Agency is now reporting that a possible side effect of taking Moderna’s ‘Spikevax’ COVID-19 vaccine, also known as…chronic hives.
Based on a total of 360 European cases, it is assessed that there is a ‘probable’ connection in 58 cases, while a ‘possible’ connection exists in 228 cases.
A suspected side effect is categorized as either probable, possible, or not probable.
…Team leader at the Danish Medicines Agency, Martin Zahle Larsen, told that these are preliminary results.
Therefore, further studies are necessary to determine whether there is an actual connection.
“When we say possible, it’s because there is a likelihood that it could be caused by the vaccine,” the team leader said.
Interestingly, last year, Germany was forced to discard 200 million COVID-19 vaccine doses. Now, a German company is in a dispute with the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) over the lack of royalty payments.
BioNTech said on Monday the U.S. National Institutes of Health has sent a notice to the German company regarding default on the payment of royalties and other amounts related to its COVID-19 vaccine.
BioNTech, which partnered with U.S. pharma giant Pfizer for its COVID-19 vaccine, however, said it disagreed with the positions being taken by the NIH and intends to defend against all allegations of breach.
Spokespersons for the U.S. NIH did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for a comment.
Meanwhile, vaccination rates in this country continue to plummet. In Minnesota, only 1% of a high-risk group…the elderly…are opting to be “up to date” with the latest COVID shot.
The monthly vaccination rate data released Thursday by the Minnesota Department of Health show only 12.5 percent of Minnesotans, including only 1 percent of those age 65 or older, are up to date on their COVID vaccines. This is down from the 21 percent up-to-date rate, including over 58 percent among the older adult crowd, released last month.
It is not that Minnesotans are somehow becoming unvaccinated. It is just that the department’s latest vaccination rate data now considers the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) latest guidance on vaccination, issued on Feb. 28, recommending all adults ages 65 and older receive an additional dose of the version of the COVID-19 vaccine released early last fall.
The definition of “up to date” did not change for those younger than 65, and vaccination rates improved for that large age group — but by less than one percentage point. Demand for the new version of COVID-19 vaccine continues to be tepid with less than 15 percent of any age group below age 50 in Minnesota receiving the shot to date.
This trend is also observed across the country, per a new Pew Research poll.
A new Pew Research Center survey finds that just 20% of Americans view the coronavirus as a major threat to the health of the U.S. population today and only 10% are very concerned they will get it and require hospitalization. This data represents a low ebb of public concern about the virus that reached its height in the summer and fall of 2020, when as many as two-thirds of Americans viewed COVID-19 as a major threat to public health.
Just 28% of U.S. adults say they have received the updated COVID-19 vaccine, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended last fall to protect against serious illness. This stands in stark contrast to the spring and summer of 2021, when long lines and limited availability characterized the initial rollout of the first COVID-19 vaccines. A majority of U.S. adults (69%) had been fully vaccinated by August 2021.

As before, my choice not to get that experimental crap has been the right one.
Your ability to assess risk seems rather poor
Risk assessment: Endure (or not even notice) a mild cold for a week or risk years of chronic heart issues that feel like a heart attack or failing valve. Tough one.
Unprotected sex in Jamaica with a meth addicted hooker is a safer risk than the covid vax.
I often wonder if trolls like you are on the payroll somewhere to go be stupid online.
A mild cold that killed 100K + Americans, vs a tiny sample of people with temporary and mild myocarditis. You are fundamentally wrong about the facts.
Most of the “positive” cases had to be told they were “sick” because they didn’t even have symptoms. Meanwhile, if one suffers ill health effects and that fake vaccine ruins their health for the rest of their life, that’s it. Nothing can be done for them and they just have to live with the consequences. I wouldn’t risk that for anybody outside of my family, especially at the pedophile-in-chief’s bidding. And as for my kids, anybody even getting near them with that experimental garbage is taking their life in their hands.
“Bart”:
Are you including in that completely bogus 100,000 number of Americans killed by the WuFlu the motorcyclist who had a traffic accident and was delivered to the hospital still breathing? They immediately tested him for Covid while he was still alive, and when he succumbed to his injuries his death was listed as due to Covid.
Or the man who fell off his ladder and lived long enough to make it to the hospital and be tested for Covid before he died. His head injury was listed as a Covid death.
These are only a minute fraction of the egregious bovine excrement that went on in classifying people who “died of Covid” who had severe underlying morbidities and just coincidentally were tested before they died. The reason was that the “CARES” act mandated an additional 20% increase in Medicare/Medicaid payments to health care providers if Covid could, by any means possible, be invoked as a possible cause of death. Incentives drive metrics, and tacking an additional 20 grand onto a $100,000 hospital bill is a heck of an incentive.
Your statistics are government-based, and therefore nonsense.
a tiny sample… meaning they are refusing to acknowledge it while each of us knows 10 young/middle age people with heart complications from the vax vs 0-1 people (with major comorbidities) who died of COVID.
Also don’t forget all the fraud of tagging ALL deaths during as covid//// skull smashed in car accident? You died of COVID.
Funny. I didn’t get the wu-flu and I also didn’t get any of the side effects of experimental crap.
Piss off, gaslighting troll. Be gone.
Anecdotes aren’t evidence, literally no one cares about your personal experiences. It just isn’t how science works.
Science says we test substances for safety before we inject them in our bodies. That wasn’t done to my satisfaction and I certainly wasn’t going to take the word of the pedophile-in-chief and the vice whore.
Ironclaw is wrong.
He did get the wuflu— and didn’t even know it along with millions of others. That is how science works.
@ironclaw
“Science says we test substances for safety before we inject them in our bodies. That wasn’t done to my satisfaction and I certainly wasn’t going to take the word of the pedophile-in-chief and the vice whore.”
To your satisfaction lol, an arbitrary and biased viewpoint that has little or no resemblance to the scientific literature and how things are epistemically assessed. Its objectively the case that the vaccine went through clinical trials, that in follow ups it was found to have a low rate of side effects with very very low rates of severe side effects especially when compared to Covid. At this point in time all your doing is expressing feelings that are in direct contradictions with established fact.
@blackwing
No because the stats have been corrected for extremely rare cases of error. This is objective face.
@ironwing
Your comment is conspiratorial nonsense and unresponsive.
Funny. None of my family took the jab. None of us wore masks except when absolutely forced. None of us obeyed the “stay afraid and at home” warnings. We all kept exercising, walking, lifting, like we normally do.
We took two of the best vacations our family has ever taken – to destinations that were completely – and gloriously – empty of tourists. None of us ever got COVID. All of us had robust antibodies for COVID early on in the summer of St. Floyd.
Take your fear-mongering garbage elsewhere.
Now I’m going to do what I should have done at first. I’m going to feed you a coup de grace. Not only were the fake vaccines largely untested, they also didn’t work. In fact, we know thanks to under oath testimony in front of the European Commission that weather or not the fake vaccines stopped the spread of the virus was never even tested.
So in summary, not only did the vaccines not stop you from getting sick, they also did not stop you from spreading the disease to others. In total they were a complete fucking waste of time and money as well as a needless risk to the health of anyone who took them.
Once again, not taking that poison was one of the best decisions I have everOf the best decisions I have ever made .
A couple de grace would involve having an actual argument. We know from the testimony that the vaccines were tested for there ability to protect against covid. The transmissibility is a separate issue and only of secondary import to a vaccine.
It’s objectively the case that the covid vaccines were effective and had exceptionally low risk. That’s what the stats and studies tell us from multiple countries. It’s just not a question. Ant vaxxers like yourself have no evidence to justify any of your position.
It’s been such a long road to get here but yes finally even my most insane friends during Covid who shut me out completely due to my refusal to get vaccinated or wear a mask have come around and admitted to me that they regret much of their behavior during that time including the 3 or 4 vaccines they got and gave to their children. When they ask me how I knew I always tell them I didn’t know anything , I just know that science doesn’t work they way the media was portraying it and that I always prefer the long game versus panic. But I still feel like there has been very few honest conversations I’ve been able to have with the approximately 1/3 of my friends who went bat shit crazy during Covid. Too little self reflection going on, it’s disturbing. I’m not saying they need to beat themselves up but maybe just try learning from the experience is all.
There’s really only one thing you needed to know to get through the whole covid thing. If the government says a thing, it’s a lie until they prove otherwise. That the government is run by a bunch lying slime is all you need to know.
Surprise, surprise, surprise.
My husband had this reactions so bad it was all over his body including under his eyelids….. I can’t tell you how many prescription and over the counter creams he tried. He had to get the shots because we traveled, but no more.
Isn’t hives a sort of immune over-reaction?
Curious, that.
