Story at-a-glance
- People ages 65 and older who received Pfizer’s updated (bivalent) COVID-19 booster shot may be at increased risk of stroke
- The CDC’s Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) flagged the potential safety issue, revealing that those 65 and over were more likely to have an ischemic stroke 21 days after receiving Pfizer’s bivalent COVID-19 shot compared to 22 to 44 days later
- In their announcement, the CDC and the FDA downplayed the VSD safety signal while encouraging everyone eligible to continue to get the shots
- According to Dr. Meryl Nass, the fact that VSD produced a red flag is evidence that the problem is likely much worse than health agencies are letting on
- While the health agencies stressed that no other safety systems, such as the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), had flagged a stroke risk, the CDC admitted in a FOIA request that ischemic stroke triggered a safety signal in VAERS
