Is it possible that people die as a result of vaccination?
No single treatment or medical procedure is risk-free. There are also no completely risk-free vaccines. Compared to other health risks that can bring life, vaccines are very safe. If you do not get vaccinated, you are likely to contract the disease COVID-19, which can cause long-term health problems or even death. Compared to COVID-19, the risk associated with getting the vaccine is minimal.
Questions related to vaccine
All vaccine trials follow safety regulations and strictly controlled procedures run by agencies such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Pfizer and Moderna followed all the rules set for vaccine validation in their trials. It is not possible to use vaccines without the permission of the FDA in the United States and without the permission of the EMA in the European Union.
For these vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna have received emergency approval from the FDA and EMA. Pfizer and Moderna had to show that the benefits of their vaccines outweighed any risks.
These vaccines are being tested by thousands of people and have only minor side effects. These vaccines are being tested in a large sample of different ethnic, racial and age groups.
That's how to manage the safety of use for adults across a wide range of age groups, races, and health conditions. These studies have been carried out not only by scientists in the United States and Europe, but also by people from all over the world.
Do we know what will happen to our body 10 years after vaccination?

The unwanted side effects of a vaccine are closely monitored not only during clinical trials but also after its final approval, when it has already been used extensively.
It turned out that the process of developing a vaccine could be significantly accelerated without breaching safety. Still, however, the vaccine had to successfully pass all clinical trial phases (I, II, III) - just like any vaccine had in the past.
Hundreds of volunteers in Phase II as well as thousands of volunteers in Phase III have been vaccinated since mid-2020 – with thousands of vaccinated patients now joining the crowd. Apart from a few known reactions (headache, muscle pain, fatigue etc.), no significant side effects have been observed so far.
No one knows what will happen in 10 years, however, so the farther we are from the vaccination starting point, the more likely it will remain that way.
Many people can link their illnesses or health problems to the COVID vaccine - as most of the population would have received the vaccine at the time. If two phenomena appear directly after each other or if two variables are related to each other, we cannot consider one as the cause and the other as the consequence.
MMR vaccine and the development of autism in children?
No relationship could be proven - except that autism is usually diagnosed and the first dose of the MMR vaccine is usually given when the patient is a child.
In medicine, we often use a risk-benefit assessment. We should be aware that the benefits of a vaccine that will protect us and millions of others with us from a serious disease with potentially lasting consequences, are so far – already minimal and over time – far greater than the risks of any unspecified Is.
Long-term side effects, as their fear was with every new vaccine in human history. Until now, vaccinations turned out only as evidence of their great importance in health protection and their ability to save many human lives - and not long-term negative consequences.
Can I become infertile after getting the vaccination?
One rumor that has surfaced is that vaccination against COVID-19 can lead to infertility. The reason must be that the RNA structure of the coronavirus, resp. Its protein is similar in structure to the lining of the uterus which can be affected by vaccination.
Each cell of a living organism is equipped with a certain protein structure. However, the protein in the virus differs from the protein composition of the human body and thus the lining of the uterus. The vaccine cannot change the lining of the uterus and therefore interferes with the fertility of the human body.
