Jake- You are correct that everybody's reaction to Covid vaccines is different. However, there is no indication at this time that epilepsy and covid vaccines kill people.

Should those with seizures triggered by fever avoid getting the COVID vaccine?

Elevated temperature (fever) is a common side effect after getting a vaccine. Fevers have been reported as a side effect after getting the COVID vaccine because the immune system is reacting to create immunity in the body. Some people with epilepsy have seizures that are triggered by fever. However, the available data about the risks of COVID and the safety of the COVID vaccines still support vaccination. If you or your loved one have seizures triggered by fever, please talk to your health care provider about:

The specific benefits and risks of the COVID vaccine for you or your loved one
Recommendations about where you or your loved one receive the vaccine, such as a location where medical staff are available
A Seizure Action Plan that includes consideration of rescue therapies

What was the actual cause of death for all the people who you say have died as a result of the covid-19 vaccine?

Hi Merry,
Regarding deaths, I was referring to rare conditions.
Sorry if I implied the deaths were directly related to the vaccine. To set the record straight they were not.
