German Insurer Data Shows 2,927% Increase in Adverse Reactions to COVID-19 Vaccines
The largest medical Insurer in Germany, Techniker Krankenkasse, has released data that shows a 2,937% increase in billed cases of vaccine-related adverse effects needing medical treatment. The information released shows billed cases for four diagnostic codes:
T.88.0: Infection following immunisation
T.88.1: Other complications after immunisation
U.12.9: Adverse effects after Covid-19 immunisation
Y.59.9: Complications due to vaccines or biological substances
Graph: Number of payouts by the Techniker Krankenkasse related to codes T.88.0, T.88.1, U.12.9 and Y.59.9 by quarter
Data:
2019 - 13,777
2020 - 15,044
2021 - 437,593
Germany has one of the highest rates of vaccination at 78%, most adults have received at least one dose. Assuming all 11 million people insured by Techniker Krankenkasse are vaccinated, vaccine-related adverse effects account for 1 in every 23 people. That figure aligns with another German insurance company, BKK Provita, which announced that 1 in 25 Clients underwent medical treatment in 2021 for Covid Vaccine Side Effects. The rate in 2019 and 2020 is one in every 760 people.
Folks, the German numbers only add to the rising converns of the Covid vaccines. For most vaccines in use, benefits far outweigh risks, but that may not be the case for the mRNA covid vaccines. Dr. Martin Kulldorff, professor at Harvard Medical School (on leave), member of the Food and Drug Administration’s Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee and a former member of the Vaccine Safety Subgroup of the Centers for Disease Control’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, published an article concluding benefits for working age people are unclear and that elderly “may benefit” from being vaccinated.
Using this data but extrapolated for the 223 million vaccinated in the United States, it would be approximately 9.6 million Americans, or 4.3%. Think that number seems high? A study from Israel found a 4.5% rate of neurological side effects in those who received booster doses.
