    20 minutes

    any increase in the number of patients affected by stroke, as well as the slightest link with the anti-Covid vaccine.

"General alert", "it's huge", "To share en masse: the vaccine kills" ... On Twitter and Facebook, we can no longer count the number of Internet users who have shared the same video, supposed to prove the danger of vaccines against the Covid-19.

We see, in a sequence of a little over two minutes filmed in the street, a man wearing a fireman's polo shirt affirming in front of the camera: "There, I am at the Saint Joseph-Saint Luc hospital [ In Lyon].

I just dropped off a 71 year old woman with suspected stroke [stroke].

Finally, it is no longer even a suspicion, it worsened during transport.

"

“This lady has been vaccinated, so it's me who potentially makes the connection.

I asked the nursing staff, the reception nurse […], I [told him]: "Listen, I've been doing interventions for suspected stroke for some time where people have been vaccinated. It might sound like a conspiratorial to you, but is there a potential link to [vaccination]? "

He continues.

“She just answered yes.

She said to me: "But completely! There are more and more, it is in the 15 days which follow the vaccination. We alert everyone but there is nothing going back. nothing is done "", adds the man, before affirming, always according to the return of the nurse, that the patient allegedly taken care of is condemned to die.

No link established between anti-Covid-19 vaccination and stroke

As part of their surveillance of anti-Covid-19 vaccines, ensured since the start of the French vaccination campaign, neither the pharmacovigilance centers nor the National Medicines Safety Agency (ANSM) have noted any cases of stroke. related to vaccination.

In a recent pharmacovigilance survey around the Pfizer vaccine, the pharmacovigilance centers of Bordeaux and Marseille also pointed out that the 45 cases of stroke observed since the start of the use of the serum in France mainly concerned people aged 80 or over. more "with cardiovascular risk factors" and a history of stroke.

“The data collected since the start of the vaccination campaign does not provide, to date, in view of the characteristics of the cases analyzed and current knowledge, no evidence suggesting a role of the vaccine in the occurrence of ischemic stroke.

The conclusion concerning these events therefore remains unchanged, ”concluded this report from March 2021.
