CDC panel weighs rare side effects of COVID-19 vaccines and says benefits outweigh the risks

A CDC expert panel met Thursday to discuss the small risk of rare side effects linked to some COVID-19 vaccines. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices reviewed cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder associated with the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. There have been 100 reported cases, including one death, among the more than 13 million J&J doses given in the U.S. Dr. David Agus explains why the committee says the benefits of the vaccines far outweigh any risks.

Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs.

The media has lost all credibility and trust with the people

[nicolasbadenhorst]

The world has lost it's mind.. When a person's health choice is not about the individuals health but every one else..

[badoia]

The CDC is not equipped to make this decision. Each individual must make this decision for themselves as they are the only ones who have the information needed.

How come nobody's talking about Israel double vaccinated people still dying

[Rob]

Pretty sure that if lawsuits were allowed none of these "doctors" would say a da nm word.

[trevorreznik]

I like how they use the “affect others” argument. So blatantly false and the guilt trip is tiresome.

[Theddhsk]

Wait so he won't recommend the vaccine to older people who are most vulnerable to covid but will recommend to young people who's chance if dying from covid is <1%??? 🤔

[GageAdkins]

First it was "safe and effective". Now it's "benefits out weigh the risks"

[locqfortune]

Moving on to the rare side effects of Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder....

[MrChucke]

Forced into the hospital is NOT A SIDE EFFECT IT IS A BAD OUTCOME.

Why are they saying "rare side effects" -- it's a recently newly developed vaccine. Vaccines take years to be created, developed, and tested. It's understandable if most folks want to wait a bit longer to get it, but we definitely all NEED to take the necessary precautions regardless.

I'm keeping my distance from others as a protection not just for myself but for them as well. I pray that we all get through this. I pray that everyone who receives the vaccine from this day forward is safe and healthy with no side effects or adverse reactions. And for those who are not vaccinated just yet, I understand and respect your decisions. It's a scary, unpredictable, and confusing time for us all.

Anything "rare" that is being reported is actually happening at an alarming rate that they couldn't sweep it under the rug

[Voltroc]

Does she think that infected vaccinated people can't infect other vaccinated people?

[kennethfarthing]

If this is true ? Then big pharma doesn’t need liability protection. 🤔

[jonc]

I'll take my chances. You don't have to though. A doctor applauding french president for using ccp methods for control is also pretty disgusting.

[highlander]

This must be the misinformation I keep hearing about.

[achillesalister]

I'd be more willing to believe the doctor if the video didn't start with him smiling like that. Seriously, he looks like he's either dead inside or an alien wearing a human suit.

[totalitariantv]

It's so RARE, that every few minutes there are stories from various people popping up like a Pandemic...

[smythe]

So 99% chance of not getting "rare" side effects
But 99% recovery rate of never taking the shot....
Ill take my chances

[notinterested]

Not allowed to blame China but allowed to fully blame unvaccinated victims.
