- Kiro 6y agoInteresting. Didn't know at all. It seems like "common knowledge" here in Sweden. The CDC report isn't mentioned here by the way but should be (in case someone reading this is versed in Wikipedia editing): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix#Adverse_outcomes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix#Adverse_outcomes This is great news anyway and definitely something I will tell people worried about the vaccine so thanks!
- jnurmine 6y agoThe CDC and the EMA both say that Pandemrix did not cause anything. But that information does not match with what happened in Sweden and Finland. In Finland and Sweden, a small number of young people with specific genes who got the Pandemrix vaccination developed narcolepsy in much higher amounts than expected. With a larger clinical trial and some more time, those tragedies could have been perhaps avoided altogether. https://www.nature.com/articles/gene20171 https://www.nature.com/articles/gene20171 https://www.thelancet.com/journals/ebiom/article/PIIS2352-3964(19)30048-9/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/ebiom/article/PIIS2352-39...
