Researchers observed an increase in cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome and cerebral venous thrombosis after the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Guillain-Barré syndrome is characterized primarily by muscle weakness, while venous thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot in a vein, obstructing proper blood flow. French NBA star Victor Wembanyama suffered from the latter a few months ago, forcing him to interrupt his season.

Furthermore, all vaccines significantly increased the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis (inflammation of the myocardium, the muscle responsible for heart contraction and blood circulation).
“Other warning signs have been identified that require further investigation,” the journal states. The researchers emphasize that further studies are needed to understand the link between the vaccine and these side effects.
