Exploratory Data Analysis

For all those VAERS_ID that were DISABLEd, what were the Top Ten symptoms for each VAX?

Field Analysis:

First see
Number One Symptom By Vaccine – Disabled Only

This is much the same query as in:
Top Ten Symptoms By Vaccine
The difference being, the data here is filtered for DISABLEd

For table counts, see:

Analysis:

Results 1:

DTP:
DTP looks to have some serious symptoms. Convulsion is in the first place, followed by pyrexia, Mental retardation severity unspecified, Autism, Crying, Speech disorder, Hypotonia (floppy baby syndrome)

With DTPHIB, Convulsion is also in the first place

FLU3:
Symptoms of FLU3 have multiple classifications of pain.
Pain is the number one symptom. Followed by Pain in extremity (2), Injection site pain (6)

Unlike so many other VAX with Pyrexia as the number one symptom, with FLU3, Pyrexia is ranked in 9th place.Similarily, FLU4, FLUA3, FLUC4, and FLUX all list a pain as the number one symptom, as well as other types of pain.

MMR:
Symptoms of MMR look serious. In addition to Pyrexia, the top ten symptoms include: Autism, Speech disorder, Aphasia (inability to comprehend language), Abnormal behaviour, Convulsion, Diarrhoea, Rash, Autism spectrum disorder (again), Crying

OPV (polio vaccine):
Symptoms of OPV look serious. Convulsion is the number one symptom. Followed by Pyrexia, Autism, Mental retardation severity unspecified, Agitation, Crying, Speech disorder, Infection, Hypotonia (floppy baby syndrome), Hypokinesia (decreased bodily movement)

PNC (Pneumonia vaccine):
Symptoms of PNC look serious. Pyrexia, Convulsion, Autism, Crying, Speech disorder, Developmental delay, Abnormal behaviour, Irritability, Diarrhoea, Hypotonia

There are similar results with PNC13.

VARCEL (chickenpox vaccine):
Symptoms of VARCEL look serious. Pyrexia, Autism, Speech disorder, Aphasia, Abnormal behaviour, Rash, Convulsion, Autism spectrum disorder, Diarrhoea, Crying

VARZOS (combination vaccine for herpes-zoster/shingles and chicken pox):

Symptoms of VARZOS look serious. Herpes zoster, Pain, Rash, Pain in extremity, Headache, Injection site pain, Pyrexia, Vaccination failure, Fatigue, Post herpetic neuralgia

What’s interesting to note is that while the purpose of the VARZOS vaccine is to immunize against Herpes zoster, the number one symptom of VARZOS, is Herpes zoster.

Results 2:

Only the top symptoms shown, with greater than 1% of the results. 22 of 211 rows.

Of all top ten symptoms (211 rows), the top 50% of symptoms are found in only 18 rows.

The remaining symptoms are found in 193 rows. Another long tail.

Pyrexia is once again the number one symptom. Followed by Headache. The symptoms for DISABLEd post vaccination seem to affect the brain first.

Then, the rest of the human body (with the exception of Autism).

Pain, Fatigue, Asthenia (weakness), Arthralgia (joint pain), Autism, Convulsion, Crying, Myalgia (muscle pain)

However, if pain, and Arthralgia (joint pain), Myalgia (muscle pain), Pain in extremity, Injection site pain, Back pain, were all combined, pain, would be ranked in first place.

Autism:

Of the 88 VAX that had at least one DISABLEd, 27 VAX ranked Autism and/or Autism spectrum disorder in the top 10.

DT and HBPV both rank Autism as the number one symptom.

Four VAX listed -both- Autism, and Autism spectrum disorder, in the top ten: MEN, MMR, MMRV, VARCEL

With three of these, MEN, MMR, and MMRV, if the two terms for Autism were combined into just one term, then Autism would also be ranked in the number one position. For VARCEL, Autism would remain in second rank.

Which would mean that, of the 88 VAX that had at least one DISABLEd, five VAX would rank Autism as the number one symptom:
DT, HBPV, MEN, MMR, MMRV
