Although the 42-page release contained a few examples of serious reactions, the ones highlighted prompted immediate responses from health leaders watching the millions of Canadians vaccinating the new vaccines. An e-mail on June 7, 2021 to Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC County Health Officer, revealed that a person in the Home Health area suffered a “severe stroke” after the Pfizer vaccine, which was thought to be an “adverse reaction” to the shot. “Doctors at BC… agree that the vaccine was the catalyst for his stroke. “We can not change that for (the name has been corrected), but investigating this can prevent someone else from suffering the same result,” the email said. The sender’s name has been removed.

Henry asked the officials to follow up, but the detailed Internal Health response was also deleted from the FOI documents, so it is difficult to say if this was an isolated case. The Journal of the American Medical Association, however, published a study in November 2021, which did not show an increased prevalence of stroke after vaccinations. After the COVID vaccines first arrived in BC in mid-December 2020, the initial installments were given to first-line health care workers and long-term care workers. The next to be shot in the first months of 2021 were elderly and elderly indigenous peoples, followed by first responders, teachers, childcare staff and other workers deemed necessary. In early June 2021, the Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick received an email from a voter expressing concern about a man with Guillain-Barré syndrome and Bell’s palsy shortly after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine. The patient was discharged from the hospital in a wheelchair and his recovery was estimated to take up to a year, the email said.

“It is really heartbreaking to see this (man) completely incapacitated so quickly by this vaccine,” the woman wrote to Letnick. The email was sent to Henry, who said Guillain-Barré was more likely to be infected, “but has been linked to vaccination.” He said the BC Center for Disease Control had been notified and the case was under investigation. Health Canada says that “there are a small number of reports of people developing this rare disorder (Guillain-Barré)” after receiving the AZ and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. BC Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry. Photo by Don Craig / BC Government / File On May 18, 2021, a Vancouver Island woman emailed Henry to say she had been diagnosed with blood clots in her lungs a week after receiving the Pfizer vaccine. She said she had been prescribed medication but was having a long wait to see a blood specialist and hoped Henry could help speed up her appointment.

He also hopes that Henry “will investigate further why my first vaccine resulted in blood clots in my lungs and add these findings to the ongoing research.” The BC Center for Disease Control website reports that “rare cases of severe blood clots” have been reported since people received the AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson vaccines, but makes no reference to Pfizer. On March 25, 2021, a Disease Control epidemiologist emailed Henry with significant concerns about the AstraZeneca vaccine, including higher deaths, younger patients, and “excessive” risks. “I urge decision makers to review this information as soon as possible to see if they will stop using AZ / Covishield until further investigations are completed,” wrote Dr. Eleni Galani.

Several days later, the vaccine was discontinued for people under the age of 55 due to concerns that it might be associated with rare blood clots, but continued to be given to people over the age of 55. Later that spring, it is no longer recommended as a second dose for any age group. A Native man from Northern Health who had an anaphylactic reaction to his vaccine in December 2020 was one of many allergy problems reported to the FOI. On March 11, 2021, Dr. Monica Naus of the Centers for Disease Control told Henry in an email that BC reported higher rates of vaccine-related rash than the Canadian and US averages. An email from the Public Health Service of Canada on January 17, 2021 reported the death of a BC inmate after receiving the Moderna dose, although the Canadian Penitentiary Service “did not consider the death to be related to the vaccine.”

Henry replied that she was working with her counterparts across Canada on how to report deaths occurring immediately after vaccination, even if the vaccine was not the cause, as vulnerable populations received the first vaccines. It was impossible to determine the accuracy of all the concerns expressed in the FOI. For example, the documents included an email from Dr. Charles Hofe saying that his patients in the Lyton area had side effects after the vaccination. The BC College of Physicians and Surgeons, however, would later claim that Hoffe had made “misleading, erroneous or inflammatory” statements about COVID, including that vaccinations cause “tiny blood clots that cause severe neurological damage and a large number of women. deaths. . » [email protected]
