ICAN: New V-Safe Analysis Reveals Over Ten Thousand Reports of Depression or Anxiety After COVID-19 Vaccination
While heart conditions and other physical adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccines have been well publicized, psychiatric adverse reactions have mostly flown under the radar (or, perhaps, have been swept under the rug). Recently, however, a study found a significant connection between certain mental disorders and COVID-19 vaccination, including anxiety and depression.
In light of this study, ICAN conducted a new analysis of all V-safe data released to date for reports of depression or anxiety symptoms following the COVID-19 shot. The results were shocking.
To date, the V-safe productions show more than 10,000 reports of either depression or anxiety after receiving the vaccine. Some entries report increased depression or anxiety, while others report these symptoms as a completely new condition. Disturbingly, there are also various reports of suicidal thoughts and/or ideations. Obviously, those that did commit suicide would no longer be in a position to submit further reports.
Here are a few examples:
- “[T]he shot gave me severe symptoms of depression and anxiety. Yesterday and a little bit today I felt like I wanted to die [sic] some of it was feeling under the weather but a big part of it was that I was emotionally miserable for no apparent reason [and] I didn’t want to live.”
- “I have been getting waves of unusual anxiety since the day after my second shot.”
- “Extremely irritated, suicidal thoughts at times, extremely angry, severe depression and moderate anxiety the past 36 hrs”
One would think that CDC would thoroughly investigate (or at least pretend to care about) these highly concerning entries. However, they did the exact opposite. Approximately four months after this V-safe data started rolling in, CDC released a report which only analyzed anxiety symptoms that occurred within the 15-minute observation period following COVID-19 vaccination. CDC concluded that “most events resolved within 15 minutes of supportive care” and they “might be caused by anxiety about receiving an injection.”
It is appalling that CDC could make such blatant misrepresentations to the public when it had numerous reports through V-safe from vaccine recipients who were being hospitalized for panic attacks and wanting to end their lives.
ICAN will continue analyzing the V-safe data and will update you as we know more.
