No, the Covid jabs do NOT hurt

And just when you thought the 2nd Covid wave was behind us and the Black Fungus cases were declining, this:

The first report of five cases of Cytomegalovirus (CVM) related rectal bleeding in COVID immunocompetent patients "These patients came with abdominal pain & bleeding in stools with nearly 20-30 days after the diagnosis of COVID," says Prof Anil Arora of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.

In effect none of these patients were immunologically compromised and therefore were healthy adults, before they contracted Covid.

One of these patients had to have an emergency surgery to remove the right side of the colon and another suffered massive bleeding and severe Covid chest disease and died.

Do remember that doctors and epidemiologists have warned that we need to stay safe and follow Covid protocol even after being fully vaccinated. For those who haven't got their doses, get on the Cowin App and try your luck or walk in to one of the several hospitals offering the facility.
