This highly contagious infectious disease, later dubbed COVID-19, created an unprecedented global pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First cases diagnosed in France (2\/10)<br>In France, the first confirmed cases were reported at the end of January 2020. About twenty days later, the country recorded its first deaths linked to the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Containment (3\/10)<br>A national lockdown was introduced on March 17, 2020. Although it was lifted less than two months later, mask wearing became mandatory.<br>At the same time, the authorities, in collaboration with the Institut Pasteur, launched a massive vaccination campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many Questions (4\/10)<br>Several pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Johnson &amp; Johnson, have developed vaccines in record time.<br>This has raised many questions and debates about their safety, efficacy, and long-term effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Confirmed adverse reactions (5\/10):<br>After millions of doses administered and nearly five years of data, specialists have reported known side effects such as high blood pressure, myocarditis\/pericarditis, allergic reactions, and heavy menstrual bleeding.<br>Most of these effects remain rare but are documented in the scientific literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serious side effects? (6\/10)<br>To this day, some people, including scientists, continue to question a possible link between COVID-19 vaccines and various health problems.<br>A recent large-scale study has explored this issue further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This study was conducted by the Global Immunization Data Network and involved more than 99 million people in eight countries: Argentina, Australia, Canada, France, Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, and Scotland.<br>Its findings were published in the scientific journal Vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers&#8217; comments (8\/10):<br>&#8220;Most of the vaccinated people were between the ages of 20 and 59, and France is the country where the largest number of doses have been administered,&#8221; the researchers explain. The vaccines studied were produced by Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca.<br>These results fuel ongoing debates among healthcare professionals and patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome and cerebral venous thrombosis (9\/10)<br>Researchers observed an increase in cases of Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome (GBS) and cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) after the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome usually causes progressive muscle weakness.<br>Cerebral venous thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein in the brain, blocking blood flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">French basketball player Victor Wembanyama had already suffered from some form of thrombosis, which forced him to end his season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further research is needed (10\/10)<br>Additionally, all vaccines have been shown to increase the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis \u2013 inflammation of the heart muscle or its surrounding tissue \u2013 although these events remain rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Other issues requiring further research have been identified,&#8221; the journal said.<br>The researchers emphasize that further investigation is needed to fully understand the link between vaccination and these adverse effects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In December 2019, a new virus emerged in China and rapidly spread worldwide, raising serious international concerns, especially from the World Health Organization (WHO).
