Others are less publicly discussed but are still present in the research literature.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Epoch Times reviewed the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the United Kingdom\u2019s Yellow Card Reporting system, South Africa\u2019s VAERS database, and numerous peer-reviewed studies, selecting the top reported adverse events with literature support. Their severity determines the order of the events.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"my-5\">It is worth noting that VAERS is a passive reporting system that relies on people to send in reports of their experiences. It may not determine causality but \u201cis especially useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns\u201d that might indicate a possible vaccine safety signal, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/vaers.hhs.gov\/about.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"health-article-hover-class\">the official website<\/a>.<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"my-5\">Some of the adverse events have been previously reported by The Epoch Times. These are supplied with links to past articles with more information.\r\n<h2>What Causes COVID-19 Vaccine Adverse Reactions?<\/h2>\r\nClinicians treating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC10222799\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"health-article-hover-class\">persistent vaccine adverse reactions<\/a> believe that the leading cause of such injuries is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC10452662\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"health-article-hover-class\">COVID-19 spike protein<\/a>.<\/div>\r\n<p>Spike proteins exist on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that invades cells and causes disease. The COVID-19 mRNA vaccines also induce the body to make spike proteins. The cells that are exposed to the mRNA produce spike proteins and then display these proteins on their surfaces. The immune system then attacks these spike proteins, thereby forming an immunity against them. The cells may also be destroyed.<\/p>\r\n<p>Other types of COVID-19 vaccines use similar tactics.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"shortcode\">\r\n<div class=\"mb-4 flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4\">\r\n<div class=\"flex gap-3\">\r\n<div class=\"flex-1\">\r\n<div class=\"relative\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\" sizes=\"100vw\" srcset=\"\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=640&amp;q=75 640w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=750&amp;q=75 750w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=828&amp;q=75 828w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1080&amp;q=75 1080w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1200&amp;q=75 1200w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=75 1920w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75 2048w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F24%2Fid5594401-produce-spike-proteins-updated_correct_image.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75 3840w\" alt=\"image-5594401\" class=\"cursor-pointer object-cover\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" \/><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px&lt;a href=\">Studies show that lipid nanoparticles activate inflammatory chemicals and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s12276-023-01086-x#:~:text=Adverse%20effects%20of%20lipid%20nanoparticles&amp;text=An%20increasing%20number%20of%20studies,disorders50%2C%20and%20others51.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"health-article-hover-class\">affect immune activity<\/a>.\r\n<h2>COVID-19 Vaccine General Adverse Events<\/h2>\r\nThe most common COVID-19 vaccine adverse events are those that affect the body generally.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div class=\"mb-4\">\r\n<div class=\"lazyload-wrapper\">\r\n<div>\r\n<div id=\"ig-cf35dcef-4475-5dc8-33ea-af79a40e514b\" class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"59ba57ea-d6d1-4a13-bfb2-82e40e98a503\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"General COVID-19\" data-processed=\"1\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/59ba57ea-d6d1-4a13-bfb2-82e40e98a503?parent_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theepochtimes.com%2Fhealth%2Fa-host-of-notable-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-events-those-backed-by-evidence-5590525%3Futm_source%3DMorningbrief%26src_src%3DMorningbrief%26utm_campaign%3Dmb-2024-02-26%26src_cmp%3Dmb-2024-02-26%26utm_medium%3Demail%26est%3DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa%252BopZxIHzOHL474Nv3ZNRbp%252F3%252FOC7wozlWNbbXAUJRM9dSU%253D&amp;src=embed#async_embed\" width=\"\" height=\"\" title=\"General COVID-19\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-6=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"my-5\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Chest pain<\/strong> may be a sign of myocarditis, but it can also be due to inflamed rib joints, lung inflammation, or neuropathy in the chest\u2014all of which will be explained later in the article.<\/li>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Fatigue<\/strong> after vaccination is mostly transient.
