Excerpts from the article:
The risk was 3.5 times higher in the 12 weeks following the vaccination, compared with the longer-term risk....However, overall among 12 to 29 year-olds in England mortality was not significantly increased in the first 12 weeks after a vaccination, compared to the longer-term risk.
The number of deaths registered in England involving Covid-19 vaccines causing adverse effects is miniscule compared to the number administered - 59 compared with 144.7 million.
Of the 59 deaths, three were in people aged under 30, the ONS said....
In April 2021, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) confirmed a link between the AstraZeneca jab and rare blood clots.
In response, officials recommended that
under 30s receive an alternative vaccination because the balance of risk versus benefit of the jab was more “finely balanced”. Since then, further research has linked the Covid vaccination with an
increased risk of heart diseases and rare blood clots....
Vahé Nafilyan, senior statistician at the ONS, said: “We find no evidence that the risk of cardiac or all cause death is increased in the weeks following vaccination with mRNA vaccines.
“However, receiving a first dose of a non-mRNA vaccine was associated with an increased risk of cardiac death in young women.
“Vaccination with the main non-mRNA vaccine used in the UK was stopped for young people following safety concerns in April 2021, and most of the young people who received it would have been prioritised due to clinical vulnerability or being healthcare workers. Therefore, these results cannot be generalised to the population as a whole...."
