Potential kidney damage from Covid vaccines highlighted in a New Zealand study, emphasizing the importance of considering adverse effects in all health interventions
-
Dr. Philip McMillan discusses a study on adverse events following the BNT 162b2 mRNA vaccine in New Zealand. • 0:04
-
The study, conducted by the Ministry of Health, is in pre-print and awaiting peer review. • 1:39
-
It is crucial to acknowledge the principle of knowns and unknowns in health interventions, as all interventions can have adverse effects. • 2:14
Risks associated with Covid vaccines, including known and unknown side effects, and the importance of post-market surveillance
-
Various risks associated with Covid vaccines, including common side effects like tiredness and headache. • 3:10
-
Importance of monitoring for rare side effects like allergic reactions and myocarditis. • 3:32
-
Drug approval process through CDC and post-market surveillance for understanding potential risks. • 3:56
-
Distinction between known unknowns (e.g., myocarditis) and unknown unknowns in vaccine safety. • 4:45
-
Examples of unknown knowns like autoimmunity and kidney disease in relation to Covid vaccines. • 5:09

Potential kidney damage from Covid vaccines highlighted in New Zealand study
-
New Zealand’s vaccination program monitored for adverse effects, excluding prior Covid cases. • 5:52
-
Study identified increased incidence of acute kidney injury post-vaccination. • 6:09
-
First-time observation of kidney injury flag in Covid vaccine recipients. • 7:02
-
Relevance and implications of kidney injury data being critically analyzed. • 7:30
Potential long-term impact of Covid-19 vaccination on autoimmune response and kidney health
-
Autoimmune response may be triggered by mRNA vaccines, potentially affecting up to 20% of recipients. • 9:03
-
Monitoring for autoimmune effects should extend beyond 21 days post-vaccination to assess long-term impact. • 9:38
-
Evidence of anti-nuclear antibodies in healthcare workers post-vaccination raises concerns about long-term effects on kidney health. • 9:53
-
Small initial numbers of adverse effects can escalate to a significant impact due to the large scale of global vaccination efforts. • 10:21
-
Understanding and identifying individuals at risk of vaccine-related kidney damage is crucial for clinical management. • 10:43
