de Canha, B. (2022). Data analysis query regarding vaccine adverse reactions. Email to H. J. Edeling.
Summary:
Dr. Bianca de Canha’s email to Dr. Herman Jacobus Edeling outlines an analysis of 337 reports of Vaccine Adverse Reactions (VARs). The analysis identifies 127 symptoms and highlights strengths, such as practitioner-reported data, with most reports submitted by registered health professionals. However, it also reveals weaknesses, including a narrow sample size and low reporting rates to SAHPRA. Notably, the data indicates a higher occurrence of COVID-19 infections following vaccination, with 87 positive cases reported after vaccination compared to 19 before. Limitations mentioned include the absence of symptom severity data, a skewed age demographic (average age 46.7), and a mortality rate of 10% among those with adverse reactions. The email seeks Edeling’s expertise to evaluate the data’s relevance for future cases, noting the need for more comprehensive statistics to support the findings.
