A COVID jab caused a man to start cross dressing while others became compulsive gamblers, medical records reveal.
The drugs also caused a spike in sex drives and even brought on increased farting, it is claimed.
A report from the nation’s drugs watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, listed some of the weirdest reported side-effects of Covid medications logged over the past five years.
It comes after it was revealed 16,000 people have made a compensation claim to a government scheme for alleged harm caused by the vaccines.
Among cases logged were 18 people whose libidos increased uncontrollably — while another 61 saw a fall in their sex drive.
There were 24 cases of eating disorders and 43 patients said they went on to suffer paranoia.

Some 415 people said the AstraZeneca jab caused them to suffer from flatulence.
Uncontrollable yawning, fatigue, nausea, skin rashes and gambling were also recorded.
The register acts as an “early warning system” for potential side effects.
