FDA Warning: Covid & Flu Vaccines

The following is from CNN's Health Report:

A new study of Medicare claims by the FDA finds that vaccines for Covid-19 and influenza may slightly increase the risk of strokes caused by blood clots in the brains of seniors, particularly when the two vaccines are given at the same time, and when they are given to adults who are age 85 and older.

Very sad 😞 Ty for the warning! I'll have to check with my senior and make sure she doesn't take the combo 😱

I hope that scientists are able to look into it further to determine if there's actually anything to it, especially since seniors are more vulnerable to Covid and the flu!

I read the same thing without "slightly" and "seniors." Simply high risk of strokes.
