In December 2019, a new virus appeared in China and rapidly spread worldwide, raising global concerns \u2014 including from the World Health Organization (WHO). This highly contagious infectious disease, later named COVID-19, led to an unprecedented global pandemic.<\/p>\n
In France, the first confirmed cases were reported at the end of January 2020. About twenty days later, the country recorded its first deaths linked to the virus.<\/p>\n
A national lockdown was implemented on March 17, 2020. Although it was lifted less than two months later, wearing a mask became mandatory.
At the same time, authorities \u2014 in partnership with the Pasteur Institute \u2014 began planning a massive vaccination campaign.<\/p>\n
Several pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson, developed vaccines in record time.
This raised many questions and debates concerning their safety, efficiency, and long-term effects.<\/p>\n
After millions of doses administered and almost five years of data, medical specialists have reported known adverse effects such as high blood pressure, myocarditis\/pericarditis, allergic reactions, and heavy menstrual bleeding.
Most of these remain rare but are documented in scientific literature.<\/p>\n
To this day, some people \u2014 including certain scientists \u2014 continue to question whether COVID-19 vaccines may be linked to various health conditions.
A recent large-scale study examined this question further.<\/p>\n
This study was conducted by the\u00a0Global Vaccine Data Network<\/strong>, involving more than\u00a099 million people<\/strong>\u00a0across eight countries: Argentina, Australia, Canada, France, Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, and Scotland. \u201cMost of the vaccinated individuals were between 20 and 59 years old, and France was the country where the highest number of doses were administered,\u201d the researchers explained. The vaccines examined were produced by Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca. Researchers observed an increase in cases of\u00a0Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome (GBS)<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT)<\/strong>\u00a0following the\u00a0first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome<\/em>\u00a0typically causes progressive muscle weakness.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Cerebral venous thrombosis<\/em>\u00a0occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein in the brain, obstructing blood circulation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n French basketball player\u00a0Victor Wembanyama<\/strong>\u00a0previously suffered from a form of thrombosis, which forced him to end his season.<\/p>\n In addition, all vaccines showed an increased risk of\u00a0myocarditis and pericarditis<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 inflammations of the heart muscle or its surrounding tissue \u2014 although these events remain rare.<\/p>\n \u201cOther issues have been identified that require further research,\u201d the journal notes.
