In a study titled “New-onset psychosis following COVID-19 vaccination: a systematic review”, published online on April 12, 2024, four researchers from the Department of Psychiatry and Narcology, Riga Stradins University, Riga, Latvia, “conducted a systematic review of case reports and case series on new-onset psychosis following COVID-19 vaccination from December 1st, 2019 to November 21st, 2023, using PubMed, MEDLINE, ClinicalKey, and ScienceDirect.”
“Data extraction covered study and participant characteristics, comorbidities, COVID-19 vaccine details, and clinical features. The Joanna Briggs Institute quality assessment tools were employed for included studies, revealing no significant publication bias.”
The results consisted of the following:
“A total of 21 articles described 24 cases of new-onset psychotic symptoms following COVID-19 vaccination. Of these cases, 54.2% were female, with a mean age of 33.71 ± 12.02 years. Psychiatric events were potentially induced by the mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine in 33.3% of cases, and psychotic symptoms appeared in 25% following the viral vector ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine. The mean onset time was 5.75 ± 8.14 days, mostly reported after the first or second dose. The duration of psychotic symptoms ranged between 1 and 2 months with a mean of 52.48 ± 60.07 days. Blood test abnormalities were noted in 50% of cases, mainly mild to moderate leukocytosis and elevated C-reactive protein. Magnetic resonance imaging results were abnormal in 20.8%, often showing fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensity in the white matter. Treatment included atypical antipsychotics in 83.3% of cases, typical antipsychotics in 37.5%, benzodiazepines in 50%, 20.8% received steroids, and 25% were prescribed antiepileptic medications. Overall, 50% of patients achieved full recovery.”
We can conclude that all this data, although it is fairly small, suggests a potential link between the vaccinated, especially those of young age, mRNA, and viral vector vaccines with new-onset psychosis within seven days post-vaccination.
I believe that there are more vaccinated who are suffering from psychosis post-vaccination especially when we remember that these studies are generally peer-reviewed, which means, there is always some sort of bias. In fact, none of these studies condemn the vaccines.
Will we ever get to know?
