A scientific study among 1704 German healthcare workers (1) shows that more than a third of them have reported sick after one or more corona mRNA vaccinations. With each additional dose, there was a significant increase in the proportion of healthcare workers on sick leave (P < 0.0001, comparing first and second doses; P < 0.0001, comparing first and third doses; P < 0. 0001, comparison of the second and third doses). The percentage of sick healthcare workers was 3.8% after the first dose, 21.8% after the second dose and 27.9% after the third dose (Figure 1). The average number of sick days also increased. In connection with this, healthcare workers increasingly used medication against side effects of the corona vaccines with each additional dose (Figure 2).

Figure 2. Percentage of healthcare workers (HCWs) with post-vaccination medication intake after the first (first dose), second (second dose) and third (third dose) corona vaccination injection. From (1), Fig 4A.
The government is inviting health workers again for a corona mRNA vaccination from October 2, without providing information about the risk of side effects. This study shows that the risk of side effects for healthcare workers increases with each injection.
The Doctors Collective believes that the risk assessment of mRNA corona booster vaccinations is poorly communicated by the government to healthcare workers, but also to other groups, such as the vulnerable and pregnant women. Given the risk assessment, we believe that the population-wide autumn campaign is irresponsible, due to known and unknown risks, low and/or unknown effectiveness, also in the context of naturally built-up immunity and unexplained excess mortality.
