The journal Science published an article linking COVID-19 vaccines to autoimmune disorders.
Several of the autoimmune disorders associated with the vaccine include small fiber neuropathy and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).
The publication comes as mainstream agencies have published little to nothing about the long-term effects of the COVID-19 vaccines.
Founder of CanWeTalkAboutIt Agnieszka Wilson told The Defender, “We’ve been screaming from the top of our lungs about these things happening,” adding, “And finally, slowly, it’s being acknowledged.”
The authors of the article noted that the “debilitating suite of symptoms” is similar to Long Covid, but some call the symptoms “Long Vax.”
These Long Vax cases appear to be “very rare,” a statement frustrating many as autoimmune disorders as a result of the COVID-19 vaccine are underreported.
“Under-reporting is a known and serious disadvantage of the VAERS system,” according to Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) expert Jessica Rose, Ph.D.
“Unfortunately, we can never really know how many people are suffering from adverse events. Reports can go missing, reports can remain in temporary VAERS ID limbo or never get filed in the first place,” Rose noted.
Reporting from The Defender:
The article hypothesizes that the Long Vax symptoms might be caused by an immune overreaction to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Science wrote: “One theory is that after vaccination some people generate another round of antibodies targeting the first. Those antibodies could function somewhat like spike itself: Spike targets a cell surface protein called the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, enabling the virus to enter cells.”
