Effective 1 Jan 2021 the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority (now known as IHACPA) advised of a new ICD Code to identify the adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccination. In Australia, the emergency use code to be implemented was U07.7: Emergency use of U07.7 [COVID-19 vaccines causing adverse effects in therapeutic use]. This code was to be assigned in addition to external cause codes where clinical documentation indicates that a patient has experienced an adverse effect due to COVID-19 vaccination. As per the information from the IHACPA, the use of U07.7 will not appear as a Primary Code – as such both ED Presentations and Hospital Inpatient Admissions were requested providing a count per month from 1 Jan 2019 to present where U07.7 appears at any level across ICD coding AND a count of the related Primary Diagnosis Codes was requested.
For the Non-Admitted (ED data) they provided this table indicating over 400 ED Presentations where doctors and / or coders associated the COVID-19 vaccines with the reason for presentation. In late 2021 and early 2022 where the bulk of vaccinations and boosters were given this was reported as more than one a day for several months.
For those that don’t know, ED and Admitted data is usually counted separately so they don’t double count. So, presumably separate to the 400+ ED Presentations, there were also 561 inpatient admissions coded with U07.7. A sample of the 561 admitted presentations is below.
Having converted this into Excel, the Grand Total of All Diagnoses per Month is represented below. At the height of vaccination 70 inpatient admissions per month were considered by SA Health Dr’s / coders as caused by the COVID-19 vaccines and 110 ED and IP Presentations/Admissions per month. Combined with ED presentations that is 3-4 presentations/admissions per day turning up to an SA Health hospital that were considered by their own staff as a vaccine related issue, where then 2-3 got admitted each day.
A breakdown of the Primary Diagnosis causes is represented below. Unfortunately, 281 were “Other” and not specifically identified. However, there were 4 neoplasms, 21 diseases of the nervous system, 108 cardiovascular including 3 identified as stroke, and 23 admissions for anaphylaxis relating to the COVID-19 vaccines, as well as a large myriad of other issues affecting almost any system in the human body.
Of course, this data is significantly under-reported as we know just from the number of people we personally know around us that are injured and presented to hospital, as well as from the data from the original SADS Substack - the curious case of SA data, showing a vast increase in both cardiac and neurological presentations and admissions to SA Health hospitals at a time when there was essentially no Covid-19 in the state, but a high vaccination rate. From the data above, it seems these vaccines could cause just about anything…
