The World Council for Health recognizes that some people become unwell after the Covid-19 vaccination. This guide developed by the World Council for Health describes the types of illnesses associated with injection and how doctors are managing them.
As the type of technology being used in these injections has never been used before, some of the conditions arising are new. Therefore, this clinical guidance on keeping healthy after receiving a Covid-19 injection will be updated regularly as new evidence emerges. Keep up to date with the latest information, by signing up to their email updates.
If you feel seriously unwell
If you feel seriously unwell or you are diagnosed with a serious disease after a Covid-19 jab, inform your doctor about the dates of your injections and remind them of the possibility that your illness is related to the Covid-19 injections. It is important to do this as the Covid-19 vaccine is in clinical trials until 2023. Your experience with the injection provides important data needed to determine whether the technology is safe. If you or your healthcare provider are concerned that you may have been impacted by the jab, you should report your experience so it can be fully and independently checked.
Can the Covid-19 injections make you sick?
Vaccine side effects can occur with mRNA Covid-19 injections (Moderna, Pfizer BioNTech, or Comirnaty) as well as the DNA-type of Covid-19 injections (Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca).
Side effects are more common with two vaccine doses than a single dose and can be categorized as:
- Immediate side effects
- Covid-19 like illness
- Post Covid-19 injection syndrome (pCoIS)
Immediate side effects
Immediate side effects can be localized to the site of the injection or involve the whole body
Injection site reactions are very common and include localized pain, tenderness, redness, and swelling. These local types of reactions usually go away in a few days.
Treatment for localized side effects
You may use the following over-the-counter medications to reduce local pain and discomfort associated with immediate side effects:
- ibuprofen
- aspirin
- antihistamines
- paracetamol (acetaminophen)
If you have no other medical reasons that prevent you from taking these medications normally, you can take them to help to relieve these post-vaccination side effects. When using over-the-counter medications, always follow the directions of the package insert and consult a healthcare provider if unsure.
Notice
If you experience any combination of the following after an injection, you may be having an allergic or hypersensitive reaction, and you should go to the hospital:
- vomiting and diarrhoea
- tremors
- weakness
- fainting
- chest pain
- convulsions
- collapse
These reactions can be life-threatening. If you experience this type of adverse reaction, you need to be assessed by a doctor and should be admitted to the hospital for observation and management. These types of reactions MUST be reported.
Covid-19 like illness
Covid-19 like (or flu-like) symptoms are common after the Covid-19 vaccination. Some health advisory agencies report that this is normal and a sign that your body is building protection. However, just because these side effects occur commonly, does not mean that they are normal or healthy. A health prevention therapy should not cause illness.
Vaccine-induced Covid-19 like illness often presents with a combination of the following symptoms:
- headache
- fever
- joint pain
- chills
These symptoms may disappear within 48 to 72 hours. However, some people may have a more extended Covid-19 like illness that lasts for a week or more and may even test positive for Covid-19. To avoid a lengthy illness, people with Covid-19 like symptoms after vaccination may benefit from following the World Council for Health’s Covid-19 treatment guidance which can be found here.
Post Covid-19 Vaccine Syndrome (pCoVS)
Post Covid-19 Injection Syndrome (also called Post Covid-19 Vaccine Syndrome or pCoVS) is a new complex multi-system inflammatory syndrome. A syndrome is a collection of symptoms that may differ from person to person. Emerging data show that pCoIS is similar to Long Covid or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and manifests as a combination of the following symptoms:
- muscle and joint pain
- gastrointestinal upset
- weakness
- numbness and tingling in the extremities
- intense fatigue
- poor sleep
- brain fog
Unlike Long Covid, pCoIS does not appear to necessarily progress from a Covid-19 like illness but may arise spontaneously weeks after a Covid-19 injection. As pCoIS is a new condition, we don’t know the long-term significance of the symptoms.
Eight categories of pCoIS disease
The World Council for Health experts currently recognises the following eight categories of pCoIS disease:
| Categorization | Description |
| Cardiac Complications (pCoIS-Car) | For post-injection symptoms affecting the heart such as inflammation or myocarditis, heart attack, or heart failure |
| Neurological Complications (pCoIS-N) | For post-injection symptoms affecting the brain and nervous system such as Guillain Barre Syndrome, encephalitis, Parkinson’s Disease, memory loss, and dementia |
| Haematological Complications (pCoIS-H) | For post-injection symptoms affecting the blood cells such as blood clots, thrombocytopenia and lymphoma |
| Vascular Complications (pCoIS-V) | For post-injection symptoms affecting blood vessels such as stroke, blood vessel thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism |
| Immune System Complications (CoIS-IS) | For post injections symptoms affecting the immune system including autoimmune diseases (e.g. Diabetes Mellitus, Multiple Sclerosis and Chrohn’s Disease) and infections (e.g. Shingles, Herpes, Epstein Barr Virus) |
| Reproductive Health Complications (PCoIS-RH) | For post-injection complications affecting pregnancy and the reproductive organs such as adverse pregnancy outcomes, heavy periods, post-menopausal bleeding, and infertility |
| Cancer Complications (PCoIS-Can) | For post-injection appearance of cancers such as breast cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, and brain cancer |
| Congenital Complications (pCoIS-Con) | For post-injection congenital complications such as diseases/abnormalities present from birth (e.g. bleeding and clotting abnormalities, deformities) |
It is possible to have more than one type of pCoIS complication, and, as more data becomes available, it is likely that this definition will be updated.
What causes post Covid-19 Injection Syndrome and other serious Covid-19 injection side effects?
Doctors and scientists at the forefront of pCoIS research think that Covid-19 vaccine side effects may be caused by:
- the injected viral gene (nucleic acids), which gives the cells in our body the ‘recipe’ to make the spike protein
- the spike protein itself, and/or
- other substances in the injection (adjuvants, excipients or contaminants)
During a Covid-19 infection, the spike protein causes much of the damage during a Covid-19 infection including harm to lung and heart muscle, inflammation, and clotting. The vaccine instructs our cells to make Covid-19 viral spike protein. In some people, this manufactured spike protein appears to cause similar damage among people previously well and Covid-19 free.
Spike proteins and some vaccine contents, such as the lipid nanoparticles, may also cause a type of allergic reaction to one or more of the injection contents or products that cause Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). Mast cells contain chemicals that are released during allergic reactions and other immune responses which can cause harm to the body.
Many doctors and scientists have safety concerns related to the ingredients included in the Covid-19 injections. One of the primary reasons for this concern is that pharmaceutical companies do not have to share this information if it is not considered in their commercial interest to do so. As a result, many of the ingredients of the Covid-19 injections are not known.
Emerging evidence from independent scientists suggests that there may also be contaminants in some of the vaccine solutions may be responsible for certain side effects. You can learn more about these contaminants from European doctors and scientists here.
How can post Covid-19 Injection Syndrome (pCoIS) be prevented and treated?
The best way to prevent pCoIS if you have received one or more Covid-19 injections is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, complete with immune-balancing supplements.
If you are experiencing symptoms of pCoIS, your doctor can do some tests to help determine the best path to recovery. Depending on your symptoms, these may include a full blood count, immune system markers, inflammatory markers, clotting profile, and liver function tests.
We are only beginning to gain experience in treating pCoIS, and further studies are certainly required. Because pCoIS shares many features with Long Covid, many doctors are using the same established medicines and nutritional supplements that they are also using to treat Long Covid. Many of these are available over the counter. These include:
| Medicine/Supplement | Instruction/Rationale |
| Zinc | 50mg daily to support the immune system. |
| Vitamin D | Vitamin D (5000 international units daily) balances the immune response. |
| Vitamin C | Vitamin C (500mg twice daily) to support the immune system. |
| Omega-3 Fatty Acids | Omega 3 fatty acids (4 grams daily) to support the immune system. |
| Quercetin | Quercetin (500mg twice daily), a natural anti-inflammatory and immune modulator, reduces overactive immune reactions. |
| Aspirin | Aspirin (325 mg daily) to reduce the risk of clotting. |
| Antihistamines | Antihistamines to reduce overactive immune reactions and mast cell activation. Loratidine and cetirizine are H2 antihistamines that are available over the counter. |
| N-acetylcysteine | N-acetylcysteine (600mg twice daily) helps reduce inflammation through production of glutathione that gets depleted in chronic inflammatory illnesses. |
| Melatonin | Melatonin (2mg to 10mg) at bedtime to help restore the circadian rhythm and sleep cycle. 10. Fluvoxamine (as per your doctor’s prescription). |
| Colchicine | Colchicine (as per your doctor’s prescription). |
| Steroids | Steroids (as per your doctor’s prescription). |
| Ivermectin | Ivermectin, (as per your doctor’s prescription) for its anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory properties. It also blocks the spike protein and prevents blood cells clumping together. Treatment may need to continue until resolution of symptoms. |
| Mast cell stabilizers | Mast cell stabilizers (as per your doctor’s prescription). |
| Low histamine diet | A low histamine diet may help to dampen the immune system’s response to the foreign substances. Many people with pCoIS symptoms similar to Long Covid will respond to treatment within 2 weeks. |
It may be necessary to consult with specialist doctors for specific complications. For example, you may need to see a cardiologist to manage inflammatory heart conditions such as myocarditis and pericarditis or a neurologist to manage neurological conditions.
When will we know more about Covid-19 vaccine side effects and how to treat them?
The first step to learning more about Covid-19 vaccine side effects is for public health officials to acknowledge and robustly consider the millions of adverse events that have already been reported all over the world. In order to do this, there must be transparent systems to monitor and track vaccine adverse reactions and research funding made available so that doctors and scientists can explore the reported data. These data will reveal more about how to prevent and treat the various types of pCoIS.
There are many questions raised by scientists and doctors about these new gene therapy vaccines including:
- How long do our cells continue to make spike protein?
- Why is there graphene oxide and other contaminants in the Covid-19 injections?
- Was the possibility of the Covid-19 virus protein genetic code integrating into the human genome (DNA) excluded in the vaccine studies?
More independent research is needed
In order to gain a complete understanding of the efficacy and safety of Covid-19 injections, international cardiovascular, neurological, and immunological experts agree that:
- additional long term safety data is required (15 years)
- follow up of all vaccinated people is needed
- regulation and research needs to be conducted by an independent scientific committee not vaccine manufacturers ((Pfizer-BioNtech, Moderna, Astrazeneca, and Johnson & Johnson)
- additional research needs to be done to determine possible toxic effects of the injections and how to prevent them
- there must be a method of screening for new Covid-19 vaccine disorders and possible genetic changes
- independent, non-biased funding for comprehensive research needs to be established.
Should I have another Covid-19 injection?
No one can make this decision but you. As the benefits of the Covid-19 vaccines are now uncertain, it is not surprising that many people are wondering whether or not to have another shot. No studies have been done to determine the safety of more than two shots, and the two-shot safety studies have not yet been completed.
Many doctors and scientists around the world are raising concerns about the safety signals from these Covid-19 injections which are still in clinical trials, and very little is known about the efficacy or safety of more than two shots. At a recent FDA hearing, 16 out of 18 industry experts recommended against Covid-19 boosters.
There is no need to rush the decision about whether or not to have another injection. Inexpensive, safe, and effective prevention and treatment options are available for Covid-19.
Who is at risk of having side effects to the Covid-19 injections?
Serious side effects are occurring in people of all ages, and it is currently not known why some people experience these side effects and others do not. Research is urgently needed to understand who is most likely to experience medium to long-term complications from the Covid-19 vaccines. However, a complete understanding of who is most at risk from complications will not be known until the long-term studies have been properly conducted.
Consult your doctor as soon as possible if you have new-onset symptoms after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine. They may be able to help you treat your symptoms, and the sooner you receive that treatment the better. You may also report the problem to the vaccine side effect reporting system in your country. Doing this helps doctors, scientists, and the public gain a better understanding of the potential risks of this new technology.

An Overview of Severe Covid Vaccine Adverse Events by Swiss Policy Research
Updated: October 2021
Published: June 2021
Source: https://swprs.org/covid-vaccine-adverse-events/
A) Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS)
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an auto-immune neurological disease causing muscle weakness and paralysis, usually starting in the feet and hands, with about 20% of people still unable to walk at 6 months, and a fatality rate of about 5% (due to respiratory failure). Back in 1976, the US swine flu vaccination campaign was stopped due to an increased risk of GBS.
In the UK, close to 500 cases of post-vaccination GBS have already been reported (due to under-reporting, the true figure is likely higher); in the US, there are already more than 5000 reported cases of post-vaccination GBS. As with many other covid vaccine adverse events, GBS may affect people at low risk of severe covid (e.g. students), or even people who already had covid.
Post-vaccination GBS is likely caused by auto-immune antigenic cross-reactivity. In addition to muscle weakness, neurological damage induced by covid vaccines may also cause tremors, seizures and convulsions, as shown in the following video (more):
B) Menstrual disorders, miscarriages, birth defects
US authorities have argued that covid vaccines “appear to be completely safe for pregnant women” (NIH) and “are thought not to be a risk to lactating people or their breastfeeding babies” (CDC). However, the US VAERS system counts already more than 2,000 post-vaccination miscarriages, and it has been known since March that covid vaccines, or the spike protein they produce, may get into breast milk and sicken or kill a baby (e.g. by causing internal bleeding or allergic reactions).
In addition, by September 2021, more than 30,000 British women had reported post-vaccination menstrual disorders, such as excessive bleeding, and some first cases of possible post-vaccination birth defects (such as cardiac anomalies or cancer) have also been reported. Regarding female fertility, it is too early to know if covid vaccines might have any impact. Of note, the Pfizer vaccine trial in pregnant women continues to be delayed for “lack of participants”.
C) Heart inflammation, heart attacks, cardiac arrest
In March 2021, Israel first reported a “murky wave of heart attacks” and an increase in post-vaccination all-cause mortality. In early June, Israel confirmed that mRNA vaccines may cause heart inflammation (myocarditis) and heart attacks, especially in young people. On June 11, the US CDC announced an “emergency meeting” to discuss post-vaccination heart inflammation in young people. In September, a US study showed that in healthy male adolescents the risk of post-vaccination myocarditis is about five times higher than the risk of covid hospitalization.
Post-vaccination myocarditis may also affect athletes and may lead to sudden cardiac arrest. For instance, the cardiac arrest of Danish soccer player Christian Eriksen may have been due to vaccination (a club manager denied this, but there is still no confirmation by Eriksen or his physicians). Several other young athletes collapsed shortly after vaccination.
A study in mice found that if mRNA vaccine gets into a vein, the heart muscle absorbs the mRNA, starts producing coronavirus spike protein, gets attacked by the immune system, and develops inflammation and cell damage (i.e. myocarditis). This is likely what happens in humans, too, if the vaccine accidentally gets injected into a blood vessel instead of muscle cells.
D) Blood clots and strokes
Blood clots, strokes and pulmonary embolisms continue to be major vaccine adverse events, especially after adenovector covid vaccines (AstraZeneca, Johnson&Johnson). Several countries have already stopped the use of adenovector vaccines altogether or in non-senior citizens. Most recently, Italy took this decision, too, after several young women had died.
Life-threatening blood clots have also affected athletes, such as a US elite runner (pulmonary embolism) and a German basketball player who required emergency brain surgery. A 44-year-old BBC moderator died due to blood clots and cerebral bleeding caused by the AstraZeneca vaccine. Several cases of leg amputations due to vaccine-induced blood clots have also been reported.
Of note, the risk of blood clots may increase during air travel. British Airways confirmed the death of three of their pilots, aged 30 to 55, without disclosing their cause of death or vaccination status. A German Lufthansa First Officer collapsed during a flight from Spain to Germany.
The following figure shows a brain MRI of a vaccine-induced cerebral sinus venous thrombosis and cerebral hemorrhage (brain bleed) in a 32-year-old woman (more):
E) Severe skin reactions
Severe skin reactions have been reported quite frequently after covid vaccinations. Such reactions may be due to an immune response affecting blood vessels in the skin (eryhtema multiforme), or due to a vaccine-induced bleeding disorder (thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura).
More: See another example of a severe auto-immune skin reaction (bullous Pemphigoid).
F) Eye disorders and blindness
Covid vaccines may lead to bleeding or inflammation in the eyes and, in severe cases, to blindness. In the UK, several hundred cases of post-vaccination blindness have been reported. In the US, about 1,500 reports to the VAERS system mention post-vaccination blindness.
G) Bell’s palsy (facial paralysis)
Bell’s palsy is a unilateral facial paralysis that may last for up to six months. By September 2021, about 8,000 cases of post-vaccination Bell’s palsy had been reported to the US VAERS system, but the real number of cases is likely in the tens of thousands.
More: See another example of a severe auto-immune skin reaction (bullous Pemphigoid).
H) Shingles and other virus reactivations
Reports of post-vaccination shingles (i.e. varicella zoster virus reactivation) have been quite frequent: by August 2021, about 8,000 cases of post-vaccination shingles had been reported to the US VAERS system (the true figure may be close to 100,000).
Varicella zoster virus reactivation may occur due to temporary vaccine-induced immune suppression (lymphocytopenia); about 20% of shingles patients develop a type of long-lasting neurological pain called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).
The vaccine-induced reactivation of other latent virus infections, including human papilloma virus (HPV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), has also been reported.
See also: Shots and shingles: What do they tell us? (Doctors for Covid Ethics)
J) Tinnitus, hearing loss, dizziness and vertigo
New onset of tinnitus is a rather frequently reported adverse event of covid vaccines: by August 2021, more than 10,000 cases of post-vaccination tinnitus had been reported to the US VAERS system. In addition, several thousand cases of deafness or sudden hearing loss have been reported.
Of note, the Johnson & Johnson covid vaccine clinical trial had already included six cases of post-vaccination tinnitus, but the US FDA later ruled that they were ‘unrelated to the shot’.
In general, tinnitus may be caused by neuro-inflammation or blood vessel disorders, such as endothelial dysfunction. This may explain how covid vaccines, which produce the coronavirus spike protein, can trigger temporary or even permanent tinnitus.
In addition to tinnitus, there are also numerous reports of post-vaccination dizziness and vertigo, which may be due to immune reactions affecting the vestibular system in the inner ear.
Video: Watch an ABC report on post-vaccination tinnitus (6 minutes)
K) Anaphylactic shock
Covid vaccinations can cause a potentially life-threatening anaphylactic (allergic) shock. People affected by an anaphylactic shock typically collapse shortly after vaccination. According to some estimates, anaphylactic shocks after covid vaccines are about 100 times more frequent than after other vaccines (one in ten thousand versus one in a million).
L) Tumor growth and cancer
While there is no evidence that covid vaccines themselves are carcinogenic (i.e. cancer-causing), it has been shown that covid vaccines can cause a temporary immune suppression (lymphocytopenia) in up to 50% of people, which in turn might, in some cases, influence tumor growth (similar to the reactivation of varicella zoster virus, described above).
In official adverse event reporting systems and in vaccine-related online patient groups, there are already several thousand case reports of sudden post-vaccination tumor growth and cancer diagnoses, even in young people, although some of these cases may certainly be coincidental.
Video: US clinical pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole describes a significant post-vaccination increase in certain types of cancer. German pathologists also noted the issue of post-vaccination immune dysregulation and sudden tumor growth in some patients. Read more: Covid vaccines and cancer.
M) Multiple sclerosis and other neuro-inflammatory diseases
Medical case studies and reports by doctors suggest that covid vaccines may trigger new-onset multiple sclerosis or an acute multiple sclerosis relapse, as well as other neuro-inflammatory conditions (e.g. transverse myelitis), typically within days of vaccination. A possible cause for these neurological auto-immune reactions is antigenic cross-reactivity.
N) Appendicitis
By August 2021, post-vaccination appendicitis has been mentioned in about 1,000 reports to the US VAERS system. According to the US CDC, “the most common serious adverse events in the vaccine [trial] group which were numerically higher than in the placebo group were appendicitis, acute myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular accident.” Appendicitis might occur due to vaccine-induced immune suppression or due to vaccine-induced mesenteric venous micro-thrombosis.
O) Inflammatory syndrome in children (PIMS)
Covid vaccination was thought to prevent pediatric inflammatory multi-system syndrome (PIMS), a rare condition associated with covid in children. Instead, it turned out that covid vaccines may themselves trigger PIMS, which is most likely caused by an immune reaction to the spike protein. Vaccine-induced PIMS was first noticed in Israel and was later confirmed by EMA.
Safety signals during vaccine trials
Several serious adverse events were already observed during official covid vaccine trials, but were discarded as “unrelated”. An editor of the British Medical Journal noted that the Pfizer vaccine trial had excluded, without explanation, five times more people from the vaccine group than from the control group. In the Pfizer vaccine trial for adolescents, as 12-year-old girl suffered permanent paralysis, but Pfizer reported her case merely as “abdominal pain”.

“We are a fast-growing group who have been affected in many different ways by the Covid-19 Vaccine implementation. We are NOT anti-vax and we are NOT conspiracy theorists. In fact, all the victims represented within this platform took the Vaccine thinking they were doing the right thing within the fight against Covid-19. We are however pro informed-choice, pro consent, pro science and strongly anti-coercion. We also wish to bring into question the reasoning and strategy behind the inordinate levels of censorship surrounding ANY factually correct negative Covid-19 Vaccine news, especially within the mainstream media and social media platforms.” https://nomoresilence.world/

Not on the Beeb, Stuff the BBC forgot (UK)
Vaccine-induced magnetism. Since the start of time, no plant, animal or human has ever been magnetic. Since the vaccination rollout, people are now showing clear and proven magnetic properties: https://www.notonthebeeb.co.uk
“Real lives are being affected by “not so rare” consequences. Many vaccine injured individuals are seeking acknowledgment by the media and government so they can receive better healthcare and treatment. Vaccine injured individuals did their part by getting this vaccine, and now they need your help. Although many do great with the vaccine, there is a chance for an adverse reaction. We believe where there is risk, there should be choice. Many are losing employment over these mandates, and we can not afford unemployment numbers to keep rising. We need to strengthen our economy; not lose our workforce.”
