According to the Paul Ehrlich Institute, vaccination is not the cause of death

Berlin. The Paul-Ehrlich Institute (PEI) does not yet see vaccinations against corona apandemy as the cause of death. So far, 69 deaths have been reported to around 1.7 million vaccinations that occurred between one hour and 18 days after vaccination, Pei President Klaus Cichutek said on Friday. "There is no reason to assume that they were caused by vaccinations," he added. "They are often people with underlying diseases. It is plausible that these underlying diseases led to death. The dead were between 56 and 100 years old. The Pei in Langen, Hesse, is responsible for vaccines in Germany.

So far, 22 allergic reactions have been reported to the vaccination that have subsided. "It is not entirely clear what these are due to," said Cichutek. According to experience in clinical tests, this was expected in very rare cases. That is why there is medical emergency care in many vaccination centers. Allergic reactions are "very, very rare and those affected recover from it". There are also all frames for facial paralysis as a vaccination reaction. They are also very rare and declining, the PEI President reported.

Side effects after corona vaccination

On the other hand, after three to five days, light and moderate vaccination reactions can be expected, such as pain at the injection site, headache, slight discomfort or slight fever. "All in all, we are dealing with vaccines that are very well tolerated by millions and offer the necessary protection that we expect," Castle Cichutek.

Nevertheless, a number of fake messages are circulating. However, there is no indication and no basis for the vaccines that the vaccines could genetically change humans or their body cells, he emphasized. “There is also no evidence that there will be fertility problems. This is all nonsense.“ ”

Almost no serious side effects in corona vaccination

for Marynn Addo from the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) there is also good news about the first two vaccines approved in the EU. The already known mutations of the new coronavirus in Germany would be covered by vaccination protection. This can also be seen in the vaccines that are still in the admission procedure.

The PEI had already reported the side effects in the first month since the start of vaccinations (December 27, 2020 to January 24, 2021). Accordingly, 1232 suspected cases with a total of 3404 side effects were reported. 182 cases were classified as serious. In relation to the total number of vaccinations, according to PEI 0.7 reports per 1000 vaccine doses, for serious side effects 0.1 reports per 1000 vaccine doses.
