New COVID Vaccine Has Horrible Side Effects

As the world inches closer to effective COVID-19 vaccines becoming available, public health experts are warning that people should be prepared for the possibility that they could experience severe, but ultimately unharmful, side effects after being given the vaccines.

Vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer, both given in two doses approximately one month apart, could soon be approved for public use after data released from clinical trials showed that they may be up to 95 percent effective in providing immunity against the virus. While neither vaccine is believed to come with significant life-threatening side effects, experts are warning that those who receive the vaccines should be ready for unpleasant but temporary reactions. . .

In the Moderna vaccine trials, the only common “severe” side effect seen after the first dose was pain at the injection site, occurring in 2.7 percent of patients. After the second dose, the most common severe side effect was fatigue, which was seen in 9.7 percent of participants. Muscle aches or pains were experienced by 8.9 percent, while 5.2 had joint pain. Another 4.5 percent had headaches and 4.1 percent experienced pain at the injection site.

Luke Hutchison, a 43-year-old computational biologist who participated in the Moderna trials, told Science magazine that he endured an “unbearable” 102 degree fever after getting an injection of what he assumes was the vaccine, although he can’t be certain because participants do not know whether they received a placebo instead.
