Medical experts, the concerned that if not enough people get vaccinated worldwide, the greater the risk that new variance will emerge. But 1st to germany. One side effects.

The 45 year old from beulah felt is seriously ill since his 2nd corona vaccination in june last year, hes developed a range of symptoms, some of them life threatening. The so called post vaccine syndrome is a newly identified, multifaceted condition for which there are no studies or treatment guidelines in germany.

You see the gold some as the impact on mr. Goldman is huge, but its not as easy to diagnose as known diseases. Were not experts in epidemiology the at 1st we had to learn how to handle the pandemic heath and find the right meshes as discover whats appropriate and whats not the mass and its the same again. Now mr. Leslie hill canals is as yet are mark guild markers. Condition makes it hard for him to climb stairs. He used to be passionate about sports and played soccer at a local club.

And probably there are currently only a few places in germany where patients can turn to for help, like at the University Hospital and my book cardiologist. Band hot shufa, is one of the leading physicians treating this condition blue key. The complexity of the symptoms is actually similar to that found in long covered patients in that is a symptom. Apology changes over time, etc. But inside that makes it difficult to establish a diagnosis. Yet most it also stand with a 100. In fact glycogen infect. So on, we treat the associated infections and we put them on a histamine free diet to boost immune system. It was actually the micro biome at the center of the immune system and behind on retreat, co morbidities home or be due to white Blood Pressure and diabetes. And all the things that are unknown and each patient up to that point, alice, but it puts in best to do some type of contract. Ah, the fundamental lack of information means doctors often research covered related symptoms for themselves and develop their own methods for treatment. This is exactly what on a Cutting Program and it together with a colleague from birth and other doctors from german speaking countries. She has put together a medical handbook. Ah, this is, and i was a football fan abbey, or a large group of physicians and scientists from other fields, ian who have ideas about this problem once. And we brought those ideas together in one document where we also made sure, however that we could give as much evidence as possible for everything that we wrote in there. Lucas, who took fan and even kind. And so that is easy for every one. He reads it to understand how we came up with the ideas. Yeah. And that the treatment we suggest it is evidence based. Ill like this as if i had that. Bugger man speaks from experience. Shes also living with post vaccine syndrome. The 46 year old has been unable to work since last fall. She suffered from severe exhaustion for weeks and could hardly get out of bed. In the beginning, she found it hard to manage your symptoms, but now shes feeling better. Would she get the could maxine again when seen verda . If i could see that there was now a development in dealing with the problem off to the vaccination, i think i could imagine getting vaccinated again, washed for level act. But right now, to be honest, because i havent really had any help except of course the fantastic help of my Family Doctor and my ologist and i would steer clear of it at the moment. Minus i little. That is actually, i had a fan ups on him. The polish institute is responsible for the safety of vaccines in germany. It recently announced it was conducting a study on vaccine side effect, together with the hanover medical school. Its an important step for post vaccination sufferers like mock go maha and honor. Katrina berman who hope that researchers might discover the cause of their problem so that they and others can finally get help. And for 118000000 vaccine doses have been administered in germany. How many recipients have suffered from complications . The polish institute mentioned in the Previous Report is responsible for monitoring the safety of vaccines in germany. I reported stephanie, so will talk to its president close. See who tech to find out more vba. About how does the pool as institute respond to reports of suspect to cases of side effects. Dear bohannon oliver, the father, we handle all reports of suspected cases of vaccine signed a face war complications in the same way here. A fast, via the data is anonymized as an evaluator and apply the suspect in cases are reported by doctors all the Drug Commission vaccine manufacturers and effective people in the on the firstly we check if these are identifiable cases are rails or very rare side effects or whether its a coincidence that the reactions of taking place after getting a particular vaccine covered system needs and to reduce the risk off. Hi, this is the aim of this exercise. If we take measures or have measures taken to renew the risks of fun last muslims. So if you caught little chill me, if you live, how many suspect to cases have been reported to the front window, told hundreds of thousands relating to various vaccines. But fundamentally, i can see that we are lucky that the coven vaccines that have been approved for use in germany in europe are very safe lessons and says he shows that means that we are fewer than 10 recognized cases of some of your side effect law. For 100000 vaccinations and hotels, thats a very good ratio funds it would have yet to on. And we know on the basis of the many vaccinations and that have now taken place globally, is not just in germany or europe that we have a very good overview of even the a minor side, exact science lini to certain vaccines and stuff for billings and, and we have an active very quickly lead either with the power early instituted self of, or in conjunction with Stanley Committee on vaccination, the, or the European Medicines Agency to take no measures to further reduce the risk signal. Is it not that surrender . Can dizzy healthy is its i, its, can you already put a finger on it so that when so may suspect 2 cases of already been reported when more maybe report it and require investigation. And after clearly amazon synch up in schism if from many of these vaccinations up to billions of vaccinations have already taken place globally, public yell on they have also now been taking place over a considerable length of time over years on the and we have learned an awful lot about the vaccines are and even about very rare side effect on which purely statistically for cannot be collected even in very big Clinical Trials of so just so we can specify, agree or read of certain side effects being reported. Clark middle artifact site and theyre explained and described in detail casino on periodic Safety Reports under w w, w dot p e. I dot d i a cleared, dim detail b douglas gave him a sentence will kill us. What are the typical side effects reported t and vin . To summit up, a typical severe side effects identified up to now are. My car died us and perry car davis. But in the case of young men under 30 after m r. N. A. Vaccinations are not in the case of the adenovirus factored vaccines. We have seen sign of venus thrombosis and thrombosis with from both sides of peny syndrome. Nice. And you can react to these accordingly. Warden of Human Knowledge placement earlier young then there are very minimal reactions which are all recorded in the poll Ellis InstituteSafety Report as ali to for me now see her take cloud. She should take him president of the polish institute. Thank you, but i thank you. Oh, do you have questions about coven . 19 of science correspondence, and Derek Williams is up to date with the latest research and analysis. Just send your questions to covey produce at d. W. Dealt com this week, counts as a question from 10 if need varian serenading. Immunity, how does getting another booster help with Different Health care authorities all over the world, making a range of different recommendations . The whole question of, of who should get a 2nd booster and which one they should get and, and when they should get it, thats really sewed a lot of confusion. So lets just look at some of the questions and, and the answers and the speculation. First, its clear that getting a booster shot doesnt act as an iron clad barrier that prevents you from getting the disease completely. In most of us though, it does seem to act as a pretty good deterrent for at least a while, by pumping up antibody numbers. But that effect doesnt last forever. Ive talked to an awful lot of people who thought that they were up to date on their shots. But then came down with cove at 19 anyway. But on the bright side, evidence from study shows that when they do get the disease booster, people are less likely to have a severe case. Even if they got the booster shot many months ago. Um, that indicates that at least some of the long term effects that original vaccines have on the immune system, that they seem to be holding up pretty well. In other words, vaccinated and booster people are getting sick because their immune response isnt really sinks to the new were fast spreading. Alma kron sub variance that now dominate the coven landscape. But as a rule, they arent getting really sag because their immune system reacts faster than if it had to learn about the pathogen from scratch. So thats certainly an argument for getting at least the 1st booster, but Expert Opinion is still pretty divided on whether a 2nd booster shot makes sense for everyone. At least its a question thats complicated by the fact that so many people have been infected this year. As on the chron sub variance swept across the globe. And, and what makes things more complicated still is the issue of what are called by vaillant shots, which are slated to arrive in some places this fall. And they include a component that specifically targets. Those are micron sub barian. So many people are choosing to wait for them, but because we still dont really have any wide scale data on how well those tweaked vaccines will actually work on Health Care Authorities in many places are trying to strike what seems to me to be a safe balance um, they recommend a 2nd booster with current vaccines for seniors and vulnerable groups if its been several months since the 1st booster, because especially for those people. Every extra bed of immune protection helps, particularly with winter looming in the northern hemisphere. Boone and another campaign to get people vaccinated is something insane. This fall around half a bull spaniards have already received that 1st, at least a shells. Vaccination rates, a high in the country, 85 percent of people have been vaccinated at least twice with one of europes highest vaccination rates. Spain east, its covered 19 restrictions. Last march, those are tested positive no longer had to self isolate. Masks became mandatory only in Health Care Settings and on public transport. Only the over sixtys, the immunocompromised, pregnant women, and Health Workers are monitored. After 2 years, people in spain returned to everyday life. Some welcome that already it was not meant debreto. Jak is ha ha. Suddenly im happy that the situation has been normalized hospice house because this disease is going to be staying with us for life. Im yes, miss. Lucky that guy. But of course we have to be careful, got it all, but its time for us to return to our daily lives. Normally, its just not its fun to treat covered like another flu. A. The law on more than others remain more cautious. They go young. If they go, can you hear me . I think we are all aware that the disease is natural, that it hasnt gone away completely well. So we have to be careful when we mix with others like 11th, organized, ah, the relaxation of restrictions in spain took place when the less aggressive b, a 2 oma cramped sub variant was predominant. This didnt put pressure on the health system, but was it too soon . Or after a veto is yes, the more the it was risky and away maggie is olivia. Ah, nobody in europe had done it yard. Im it. Im a close out of a mosque, but with hindsight, keanu, if we look at the data now, we see acceptable results in terms of hospitalization. Rates and no one has severe cases in intensive care. Universals, mike and there was no increase in the fatality rate that i literally that however in june the new omicron some very its be a 4 and be a 5 more transmissible than the previous ones. Unleashed another wave of infections. The new sub variants are immune to the antibodies produced by natural infection or vaccination. So people who have already been infected can be reinfected. As a result, the number of covered cases increased and more than 11000 people were hospitalized at the beginning of july. That latham, that admitted as the relaxation of measures together with the emergence of new some variance has made it easier for the virus to spread. Again, has been a spike of cases among the general population and in the health care sector, philadelphia in the middle and not put a strain on the health system, wasnt there. So unfortunately, its held up quite well. I mean this how one fell, wasnt there in spain is currently undergoing its 8th covered wave. But incidents in the over sixtys has now dropped to 400. 00 cases per 100000 people. The same rate as before, the lifting of restrictions hospitalizations have also significantly decreased. The Spanish Government has announced that the 4th Vaccination Campaign will start in autumn. However, the new vaccines have to be adapted to the latest variance of the virus. Experts are also warning that the global vaccination rate will play an Important Role in how the pandemic develops and that a close eye should be kept on new mutations ever go up on the future of the covered 19 pandemic. Well, also depend very much on the Overall Development in the world, in the sense that the entire World Population has to be vaccinated at 80. Okay. Yeah. Okay. If the virus continues to reproduce in other parts of the world, theyll always be the possibility of variance that escaped immunity thats been generated up what he, that their identity. He ended up alley monia canada to veto. So can not marker it is the virus the dictates, the route we have to take and how we have to react that at math mutilated the virus becomes more infectious. Again, boyer, we may have to resort to more drastic measures on limiting a Free Movement math setting capacity limits or curfews afford. Oh so okay. Okay. That experts say the situation in spain is under control for now. And that prevention remains the best weapon to combat the unpredictable virus. And, and now our science updates the coven studies making headlines. So you had covet 19 and have felt fatigued or short of breath ever since 4 weeks maybe even month. Its probably already occurred to you that those are classic signs of long cove. It but maybe you noticed other symptoms as well, like that youre losing a lot of hair or that your sex life is suffering according to this study. Those can also be symptoms of long cove. It and they occur a lot more often than you might think. For this study, the research is mind a huge british database. They compared information provided by around half a 1000000 people who tested positive for cove 19, but werent hospitalized with data from close to 2000000 people who had no prior indications of infection. The study is too big, goals were a, to determine the most common long could it symptoms and be to pin down who is most in danger of ending up a long hauler. The research is identified a total of 62. 00 symptoms that were linked to an infection with sas, covey, 2 among them. Once that regularly occurred, and some patients even 12 weeks later, this long list includes a couple of symptoms that grab your attention. Things like reported hairless difficulty jackie, lading and reduced libido. The research is also looked at who was most at risk of having one or more of the listed symptoms, 12 weeks or longer after the initial infection. The results showed that women are effectively often than men. And that effect is considered younger people appear to be more likely to develop long covered than elderly patients. Socio economic status also had an impact, as did of course, the Patients Health before the infection. The study has helped clarify the confusion surrounding the wide range of long term symptoms reported by people who suffer from long covet that in turn, can help medical professionals diagnose the condition with more confidence and in the long run, hopefully develop better treatments for coping with its many different debilitating effects dealt tis worldwide is still lacking out how best to treat the symptoms of long cove. It. In taiwan, people are increasingly turn into traditional chinese medicine when the symptoms of a cove, it infection wont go away. Herbal preparations can help one way contracted, covered 191 month ago, and he still has difficulty breathing that he chacandra. I recovered from the initial illness after about 7 days. But now when i ride my bike, its hard to breathe and i can barely get going. Cara keanna, one is still suffering from the after effects of the infection. He had to change his lifestyle to help cope with the symptoms. He also, and martha and john pito, he for me, modern medicine is more for urgent treatment squawk you like for i disease or cut yall. Can i take chinese medicine for chronic illnesses and to relieve my symptoms . And i know a pot only year. One of ones been symptoms was a fever and he helped himself using traditional chinese medicine. The traditional herbal remedy called taiwan. Ching, one ye, how was developed by the National Research institute. It was approved by the authorities in april when taiwan was confronted with a new wave of infections. This, your son that you tend to ethylene do on the taiwan has been doing research into the effect of chinese medicine and corona viruses for a long time. It was the gun in now. Its also doing Clinical Research and thats only, yeah, you didnt thought it was found that chinese medicine can be effective years old. And this attracted world wide interests. Are, you know, the enduring, i can already find a lot of articles about chinese medicine in prestigious journals like the new england journal of medicine or the lance. It didnt count ohios only other, the good ones. They saw me patients in taiwan need, a prescription from a doctor of chinese medicine to get ching one he how and the cost is covered by state health insurance. Gents, you see a local epidemiologist sees the integration of western and traditional chinese medicine as a positive development. I think these come the commer mentally alternate medicines help so much. Im particular they can div simkins and they can boost the immunizations. So during the t t. M an equity fund, taiwan the spheres a they already become all a national guy, ny to hell, the people for c a t, a recovery in combination weights. The a and i read a saw a piece ah, from that also those medicine more than 60 percent of taiwanese people believe that traditional chinese medicine helps to boost immunity and reduces the likelihood of contracting coven 19 according to one survey. However, herbal medicine has only been used in taiwan for mild covered 19th symptoms, and doctors continue to use modern medicine to treat severe cases. One way appreciates the ways traditional chinese medicine has helped to alleviate his symptoms. The pandemic, he says, has fundamentally changed his mind about traditional therapies.
