Fox News: Coronavirus Vaccine Subject Claims Temporary Painful Side Effects

LEVENTAHAL The Journal of ░░░░░░░░ out with a report ░░░░░░░░ some of the side ░░░░░░░░ of Covid vaccines a ░░░░░░░░ subject from Moderna says ░░░░░░░░ arms swell to the ░░░░░░░░ of a goose egg ░░░░░░░░ says he doesn t ░░░░░░░░ if he got the ░░░░░░░░ or a placebo but ░░░░░░░░ also had a fever ░░░░░░░░ 102 Started shaking and ░░░░░░░░ hot and cold rushes ░░░░░░░░ says the symptoms went ░░░░░░░░ after 12 hours Moderna ░░░░░░░░ said its trials showed ░░░░░░░░ serious safety concerns Let ░░░░░░░░ bring in Dr Marc ░░░░░░░░ professor of medicine at ░░░░░░░░ Allen Good Health a ░░░░░░░░ News contributor and also ░░░░░░░░ of Covid the Politics ░░░░░░░░ Fear and the Power ░░░░░░░░ Science Dr Siegel good ░░░░░░░░ see you I ve ░░░░░░░░ the surveys that showed ░░░░░░░░ half of Americans were ░░░░░░░░ reluctant to take a ░░░░░░░░ stories of side effects ░░░░░░░░ m guessing might persuade ░░░░░░░░ people from doing it ░░░░░░░░ Rich that bothers me ░░░░░░░░ exact issue because we ░░░░░░░░ more people to take ░░░░░░░░ vaccine nonetheless because I ░░░░░░░░ know from treating Covid ░░░░░░░░ that the long term ░░░░░░░░ effects of Covid itself ░░░░░░░░ what we worry about ░░░░░░░░ these two vaccines you ░░░░░░░░ these are transient side ░░░░░░░░ lasting 24 hours about ░░░░░░░░ longer than that They ░░░░░░░░ away completely Fever you ░░░░░░░░ fever in less than ░░░░░░░░ of Moderna and Pfizer ░░░░░░░░ biggest side effects we ░░░░░░░░ seeing are fatigue The ░░░░░░░░ vaccine about 9 got ░░░░░░░░ fatigue and half of ░░░░░░░░ in the Pfizer vaccine ░░░░░░░░ headache 4 in the ░░░░░░░░ vaccine 2 in the ░░░░░░░░ So you could see ░░░░░░░░ is a minority of ░░░░░░░░ that are even getting ░░░░░░░░ side effects But the ░░░░░░░░ was brought up Shouldn ░░░░░░░░ they have been told ░░░░░░░░ advance And the answer ░░░░░░░░ yes Both groups the ░░░░░░░░ group and the non ░░░░░░░░ group should be told ░░░░░░░░ potential side effects in ░░░░░░░░ as long as the ░░░░░░░░ remain blinded LEVENTHAL Well ░░░░░░░░ effects are somewhat common ░░░░░░░░ And it sounds like ░░░░░░░░ are saying these are ░░░░░░░░ particularly severe because they ░░░░░░░░ in a small fraction ░░░░░░░░ the people who get ░░░░░░░░ vaccine SIEGEL Yeah Look ░░░░░░░░ side effects are probably ░░░░░░░░ than you get from ░░░░░░░░ normal flu vaccine or ░░░░░░░░ shingles vaccine maybe But ░░░░░░░░ a lot worse And ░░░░░░░░ temporary And again we ░░░░░░░░ dealing with a virus ░░░░░░░░ that s as we ░░░░░░░░ been reporting for months ░░░░░░░░ very severe side effects ░░░░░░░░ high risk groups Not ░░░░░░░░ I do want the ░░░░░░░░ risk groups to get ░░░░░░░░ vaccines and healthcare workers ░░░░░░░░ emergency workers but consider ░░░░░░░░ around them So in ░░░░░░░░ words I might want ░░░░░░░░ to get this vaccine ░░░░░░░░ wouldn t get severely ░░░░░░░░ from Covid because I ░░░░░░░░ t want it to ░░░░░░░░ into their household at ░░░░░░░░ We have got to ░░░░░░░░ everybody across the country ░░░░░░░░ we absolutely have to ░░░░░░░░ about these side effects ░░░░░░░░ that people are prepared ░░░░░░░░ them but understand they ░░░░░░░░ in a small minority ░░░░░░░░ they are temporary LEVENTHAL ░░░░░░░░ worth it it sounds ░░░░░░░░ you are saying SIEGEL ░░░░░░░░ LEVENTHAL Is this the ░░░░░░░░ way to finally get ░░░░░░░░ of the Coronavirus SIEGEL ░░░░░░░░ That s what herd ░░░░░░░░ is in this case ░░░░░░░░ s a wildly contagious ░░░░░░░░ The vaccine is what ░░░░░░░░ going to bring us ░░░░░░░░ Rick there are several ░░░░░░░░ vaccines in the pipeline ░░░░░░░░ may end up in ░░░░░░░░ spring with a different ░░░░░░░░ with less side effects ░░░░░░░░ these vaccines one of ░░░░░░░░ reasons would you are ░░░░░░░░ effects is because they ░░░░░░░░ so powerful 95 effective ░░░░░░░░ unbelievable for a vaccine ░░░░░░░░ high effectiveness That s ░░░░░░░░ high as the measles ░░░░░░░░ So when you see ░░░░░░░░ like that I don ░░░░░░░░ want to say it ░░░░░░░░ worth the side effects ░░░░░░░░ I don t want ░░░░░░░░ down pray but the ░░░░░░░░ effects are minor compared ░░░░░░░░ the great effect of ░░░░░░░░ vaccine LEVENTHAL Doctor the ░░░░░░░░ announced today that we ░░░░░░░░ see the vaccines as ░░░░░░░░ as next week Does ░░░░░░░░ surprise you SIEGEL No ░░░░░░░░ the FDA has been ░░░░░░░░ for an emergency use ░░░░░░░░ on the Pfizer vaccine ░░░░░░░░ they re meeting on ░░░░░░░░ 10th So you may ░░░░░░░░ the approval on December ░░░░░░░░ And then you heard ░░░░░░░░ Gustave Perna the chief ░░░░░░░░ officer of operation warp ░░░░░░░░ who as you know ░░░░░░░░ a top supply officer ░░░░░░░░ the military saying give ░░░░░░░░ 24 hours So I ░░░░░░░░ the vaccines to be ░░░░░░░░ out in mid December ░░░░░░░░ least the Pfizer one ░░░░░░░░ really looks like it ░░░░░░░░ has to be kept ░░░░░░░░ cold LEVENTHAL And maybe ░░░░░░░░ seems obvious we are ░░░░░░░░ for a rough winter ░░░░░░░░ t we It s ░░░░░░░░ getting better any time ░░░░░░░░ SIEGEL We have to ░░░░░░░░ We have to wash ░░░░░░░░ hands We got to ░░░░░░░░ masks properly and overcome ░░░░░░░░ fatigue that we are ░░░░░░░░ about Covid Because the ░░░░░░░░ there is light at ░░░░░░░░ end of the tunnel ░░░░░░░░ with these vaccines The ░░░░░░░░ weather is really bad ░░░░░░░░ spreading respiratory viruses and ░░░░░░░░ huddle indoors All of ░░░░░░░░ is bad and that ░░░░░░░░ it s spreading LEVENTHAL ░░░░░░░░ right Dr Marc Siegel ░░░░░░░░ very much for that.”
