What is the truth about coronavirus and asymptomatic spread?
Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel joins 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' to discuss recent studies regarding the asymptomatic spread of coronavirus.
The Boston doctor believed to be the first in the world to suffer an adverse reaction to Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine said it started immediately after the shot was given. Dr. Hossein Sadrzadeh said that at first, he thought it was anxiety, but then his tongue started tingling and then it went numb.
Sadrzadeh, who has a history of shellfish allergy, used an EpiPen on himself and was admitted to Boston Medical Center's emergency department. He felt better by the following day.
The CDC is already investigating at least six reactions to the vaccine, but all are believed to have occurred after the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine was administered.
