FDA flags small risk of neurological disorder after Johnson and Johnson vaccine

Federal health officials flagged "a small possible risk" of developing a nervous system disorder after receiving Johnson and Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine on Monday, after the CDC identified a very rare pattern of Guillain-Barré syndrome in some recipients of the shot. As Nikki Battiste reports, there have been about 100 cases, mostly in older men. Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease expert and senior scholar at Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, joins CBSN to discuss vaccine concerns and a recent spike in new infections.

Giving people more privileges just for getting vaccinated doesn’t sit well with me.

In 10 years people gonna see a late night commercial saying "Have you gotten the Covid Shot, you may have a case."

It's not a small risk when it's happening to you or your family.

That list of unknown side effects seems to be growing... Guess the safety of the vaccines is kind of relative.

[lizgaby]

They don't care... they don't want to be wrong... and this is just 6 months in... wait to 2 yrs.

They keep telling us the after effects are rare. Nobody would like to be one of the so called rare cases of autoimmune disease.

Sounds like the beginning of a horror movie! Can't believe people actually took the injections!😬

For the 100 men, how is this neurological damage side effect treated? What if they don’t have insurance? Is treatment free?

What about the women that had blood clots, how was that treated… was it for free?

Also, what about the teens with the heart condition after the vaxx?

While the vaxx are free? Are treatments for the side effects free for those without insurance? And for those with insurance are they fully covered?

And this is what they were attempting to dump in Haiti .and he said no . His funeral is next week .

I had GBS in 2016. Almost died. My doctor from the Mayo Clinic said I can never get a vaccine because it may trigger gbs and it may be worse than my first GBS. I did not get gbs from a vaccine I got it from a virus. There is no cure for GBS just treatment. Research is still being done on gbs. You can get gbs at any age. I will in fact tell you that my nurse had 9 gbs patients including me. 8 out of the 9 got gbs after the flu shot. 🤔. What does that tell you about the shadiness on what’s in those vaccines? 💯. I pray and wish you all good luck and health. 🙏🏼 this is just my story.

The logic here is too much. Still blaming citizens trying to live their best lives and not the corporations, economy, or government.

They vaccinated my husband in the hospital at St. Louise in Gilroy Ca while he was on morphine! This pisses me off

"Dude trust me, nothing bad will happen"

[wheeliewonka]

Who is responsible for this?? Who can these families sue?

[oeao]

They're going back and forth trying to figure out... why would I take something they're still trying to figure out?

[Safferpsyche]

Small risk heh? Tell that to my healthy cousin who got bells palsy. She's a health worker and mother. People are just volunteering to be guinea pigs.

[joefran]

Tell that to the people that have suffered serious side effects.

Medical 'statistics' aways make me laugh.
