In our last update, we alerted our supporters to the significant number of V-safe reports of depression and anxiety following COVID-19 vaccination. This time, we focus on yet another category of adverse events that have been swept under the rug by CDC: the urinary system.
A recent study found that COVID-19 vaccination impacts the lower urinary tract and bladder. In light of this study, ICAN attorneys conducted a new analysis of all V-Safe data released to date for reports of urinary or bladder symptoms. Disturbingly, we found compelling evidence in the free-text entries that support the study’s findings.
To date, the V-safe productions show nearly 4,000 reports of either urinary or bladder symptoms after receiving the vaccine. Many people reported having extremely painful or resistant urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, urinary retention, strange colored urine, and even infections leading to sepsis.
Here are a few examples:
- “Urinary infection that led to sepsis”
- “Currently treating a really nasty bladder infection that started last weekend. Weird because I rarely get them and when I do, they are very mild and easily taken care of without antibiotics. I’ve never experienced one as bad as this 🙁 ”
- “2/4 I was treated via telehealth for a bladder infection. 2/13 I had to go to emergency [sic] for blood in my urine. I needed another dose of antibiotics. Not sure if this is a result of the vaccine.”
- “On 12/19/2020 I developed sudden urinary incontinence and bladder spasms. Not sure if it was related to the vaccine or not but my doctor wanted me to report it.”
- “Urinary track [sic] infection. Went to er was in hospital 5 days. Ok now had high fever checked negative for covid.”
- “I have a bladder infection and Im [sic] on an antibiotic. Never had a bladder infection before and Im [sic] 73”
Unsurprisingly, CDC does not recognize these symptoms as adverse events related to COVID-19 vaccination. This omission is highly concerning because complicated urinary tract infections are the most frequent cause of sepsis in adults over 65, and mortality rates for individuals with sepsis in the urinary tract range from 25% to 60%. In other words, this particular adverse reaction to COVID-19 vaccines can be lethal, especially in older adults.
The fact that countless older adults, with no knowledge of this risk, are continuing to receive COVID-19 vaccines and boosters based on CDC and doctor recommendations, indicates a complete moral and ethical void at CDC and its sister agencies.
ICAN will continue analyzing the V-safe data for further evidence of blatantly ignored adverse reactions and will update you as we know more. To support ICAN’s efforts, click here to donate.
