A new study comparing side effects of the coronavirus vaccine to complications of the coronavirus itself is being published on Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine. The research study, which was conducted by the Clalit health fund along with Harvard University, followed two million cases, all members of Clalit.
The first part of the study, Israel Hayom reports, compared the presence of 25 different side effects in people who were recently vaccinated and a control group that had not been vaccinated. In the second part of the study, the same 25 side effects were compared in people who had recently contracted coronavirus to a control group that had not contracted the virus (none of whom was vaccinated).
The head of Clalit’s innovations department, Prof. Ran Balicer, concluded from the study’s results that, “Yet again, we are seeing how safe the vaccine is, and also, how natural infection with the coronavirus in an unvaccinated person exposes him to significant dangers which are likely to lead to serious illness – and this is aside from the direct danger from coronavirus infection which can damage the lungs and cause serious complications to arise.”
