Federal agencies are studying post-vaccination neurological issues
With no public announcements, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
and National Institutes of Health (NIH) both are studying neurological
problems that have appeared in people after receiving the COVID
vaccines (

Epoch Times has confirmed via emails that the studies are underway.
Two U.S. agencies have been quietly studying neurological problems that
have appeared in people who have had COVID-19 vaccines, The Epoch
Times has found.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and National Institutes of
Health (NIH) have been conducting separate research projects into
post-vaccination neurological issues, which have manifested with
symptoms like facial paralysis and brain fog and have been linked in
some cases with the vaccines, according to emails.
One attempt to gain understanding of a problem that experts around the
world are struggling to understand is being carried out by Dr. Janet
Woodcock, who was acting commissioner of the FDA until Feb. 17.
Woodcock, now the FDA's principal deputy director, has been personally
evaluating neurologic side effects from the COVID-19 vaccines since
at least Sept. 13, 2021, according to the emails, many of which have
not been reported on previously. FDA epidemiologists are also
gathering data to look into the issues, according to messages from
Dr. Peter Marks, another top FDA official.
A team at the NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and
Stroke (NINDS), meanwhile, started seeing patients reporting vaccine
injuries for a study in early 2021 after receiving complaints shortly
after the vaccines were made available. A portion of the patients was
examined in person at the Bethesda, Maryland, facility.
None of the reviews or studies appear to have been announced, and
health officials have said little about them publicly, despite a
growing recognition among experts that at least some issues are
likely linked to the vaccines.
