A terrific Tuesday morning to you!

Vaccinated patients who are hospitalized for COVID-19 are at a significantly higher risk of mortality, a recent study found. Vaccinated patients had a 70 percent risk while those unvaccinated had 37 percent.

Pfizer’s and Moderna’s vaccine clinical data have been exaggerated for vaccine efficacy and underestimated vaccine adverse events, according to recent papers. Researchers point out that Pfizer’s vaccine studies could turn a vaccine of zero efficacy to 48 percent efficacy.

The majority of people with long COVID were vaccinated, a Thai study found. The authors followed 390 people who tested positive for COVID, of which 97 percent were vaccinated.

COVID-19 vaccinations are linked to sudden sensorineural hearing loss, according to a recent French report. Another Australian study linked the shot to hearing and balance disorders.

On Feb. 28, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that people over the age of 65 should get COVID boosters. Two days later, the agency dropped its five-day isolation requirements for people who test positive for COVID.

Finally, coughing is a common COVID symptom. It can also be exacerbated following COVID vaccinations. But why do we cough? Our health reporter, Flora, answers this question in her new report.

“Cough very much is a natural and protective thing; it protects our lungs,” Dr. Kian Fan Chung, a professor at the National Heart & Lung Institute at the Imperial College London, told The Epoch Times.

“It is a bit like a burglar alarm you have at home,” Dr. Chung said, conjuring a vivid analogy. “So if a burglar does go into your home, the alarm system goes up.”

Higher Mortality Found Among Vaccinated Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19: New Study

“Although the number of patients in this study is limited, these results suggest that among hospitalized patients, prior vaccination may not always be indicative of protection against mortality,” the paper’s authors wrote.

Pfizer and Moderna COVID Vaccines’ Efficacy Exaggerated, Effectiveness ‘Well Below’ 50 Percent, Researchers Say

While most clinical trials would evaluate the effects of a drug from the day it is administered, these COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are not being evaluated from the first day the vaccines are given. A later date is chosen, which inflates the vaccine’s perceived efficacy and safety, researchers say.

Study Finds Hearing and Balance Disorders Among COVID-19 Vaccinated

More cases of hearing and balance disorders have been observed after people received COVID-19 vaccines, according to a recent study.

“Healthcare providers and vaccinees should be alert to potential audiovestibular complaints after COVID-19 vaccination,” the authors said.
