ICAN Obtains Disturbing Information About AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 Vaccine from the UK Equivalent of the FDA
icandecide.org AstraZeneca study finds vector DNA in the sciatic nerve, bone marrow, liver, lungs, and spleen of vaccinated mice. The study documents further revealed that, in early 2021, AstraZeneca was forced to amend its data sheet for the vaccine after concluding that there may have been a causal association between the vaccine and serious hypersensitivity including anaphylaxis. […]
Anaphylactic Reactions to mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines: A Call for Further Study
Sophia Hatziantoniou et al. The modified mRNA molecule is encased in LNPs, consisting of ionizable, auxiliary and pegylated lipids, as well as cholesterol, which is thought to contribute to the fluidity of the nanoparticle, thus increasing its ability to fuse with the plasma membranes of host cells to deliver the mRNA cargo. … After implementation […]
mRNA Vaccines to Prevent COVID-19 Disease and Reported Allergic Reactions: Current Evidence and Suggested Approach
Aleena Banerji et al. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for 2 highly effective coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. This has brought hope to millions of Americans in the midst of an ongoing global pandemic. The FDA EUA guidance for both vaccines […]
Polyethylene Gycol as a Cause of Anaphylaxis
Katharina Wylon, Sabine Dölle, Margitta Worm Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) or macrogols are polyether compounds and are widely used as additives in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food. Potential life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions to hidden molecules like macrogol may be under- diagnosed. Cases of immediate-type PEG hypersensitivity were reported with increasing frequency. The awareness regarding the allergenic potential of […]
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) is a Cause of Anaphylaxis to the Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine
Priya Sellaturay et al. Allergy to PEG is rare,5,6 but reactions can be severe or even fatal.7 PEG is an excipient of many drugs, but hypersensitivity de- pends on its molecular weight (MW). … Although the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine contains a number of excipients, PEG 2000 is the only one reported to cause anaphylaxis. All mRNA […]
Suspicions Grow That Nanoparticles in Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine Trigger Rare Allergic Reactions
Jop De Vrieze Severe allergy-like reactions in at least eight people who received the COVID-19 vaccine produced by Pfizer and BioNTech over the past 2 weeks may be due to a compound in the packaging of the messenger RNA (mRNA) that forms the vaccine’s main ingredient, scientists say. A similar mRNA vaccine developed by Moderna, […]
