Detox. No, there are not 8 out of 1000 people who have suffered serious side effects after inoculation with the vaccine against Covid-19

It’s a figure that sends shivers down the spine: 8 out of 1000 people would suffer from serious side effects after being vaccinated against Covid-19. Announced on May 3 on German television by Professor Harald Matthes, of the Berlin Charité hospital, this estimate was widely taken up in anti-vaccine circles.

Problem: this study, conducted among 40,000 vaccinated, has not been published anywhere. The data that circulated originated solely from an interview with Harald Matthes, a specialist in gastrology and anthroposophical medicine.

Second difficulty: it is an internet survey. This led the Charité hospital to distance itself from its professor, considering that ” it is not a scientific study in the strict sense of the term “. The study does not actually verify the severity of the complications, nor the causal link with the vaccine. A user also noted that no proof of vaccination was required, leaving the door open to manipulation by opponents of vaccination.

Third concern: The concept of serious side effects used in the survey. It is thus sufficient, to take advantage of it, to have obtained three days of sick leave. Far from the standards of the European Medicines Agency, recalls the magazine Focus, which is limited to those which “lead to death, require hospitalization or cause disability”.

In the end, the director of the clinic of infectiology of the Charité, Leif Erik Sanders, considers the figure of 8 vaccinated out of 1000 suffering from serious side effects as “ absolutely unrealistic and serious “.
