In the U.S., a Miami physician died following complications of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) after his first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. ITP is a rare autoimmune condition in which the body generates autoantibodies to its own platelets, resulting in low platelet counts, blood clots, and bleeding if the platelet count drops very low. About 50,000 adults are diagnosed with ITP in the U.S. per year. Risk is increased in young women and people with other autoimmune conditions.
In a case series, James Bussel, MD, and colleagues reviewed 20 reports of thrombocytopenia after receipt of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. Bussel is professor emeritus of pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City who has published extensively on ITP. His group found that 17 of these patients did not have pre-existing thrombocytopenia. Patients' median age was 41 and 11 were women.
For cases of CVST linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine in Europe, the leading hypothesis is that these few patients may be experiencing an autoimmune reaction. Two teams of researchers in Germany and Norway said they had identified an autoantibody called heparin platelet factor 4 antibody that may be involved in CVST's development...
Heparin platelet 4 antibody causes heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), in which heparin paradoxically activates platelets, leading to platelet depletion and clotting. HIT is a well-known but rare complication of heparin use that develops in about 1%-2% of patients. Some patients who have never been exposed to heparin can also have this autoantibody.
Moreover, this antibody has been linked previously to rare cases of CVST -- about 20 have been reported in the literature, according to Pruthi.
This is a unique situation because the German and Norwegian researchers actually found a unique antibody for which there's no other explanation than the vaccine..."

Just wait two or three years for the science baffling spike in autoimmune diseases
Trump's fault???
I was realizing this morning that we talk about getting the vaccine, and we should be more specific and say getting the experimental vaccine. I think that a survey would probably find that most Americans do not realize or appreciate that this is an experimental vaccine that has been released on emergency basis for people who are at risk. It is now being misused by giving it to everyone, without testing, without understanding the consequences, and with potentially deadly outcome to lots of people.
No. It’s American consumer culture and the need to treat this whole exercise like ordering a drive thru a McDonald’s when in actuality it’s a serious undertaking on the body and people with certain conditions should be advised accordingly and monitored.
True.
6 out of 7 million that’s probably about the same as any other vac except fauxci and the rest have there money on the 2 shotter:-)
Here’s the VA’s take on the Anthrax vaccine:
1.Yes, you were ordered to take the Anthrax vaccine.
2. Yes, you were given the Anthrax vaccine.
3. Yes, you developed autoimmune diseases from the Anthrax vaccine.
4. Not everyone developed autoimmune diseases from the Anthrax vaccine, so get lost.
The government knew that the vaccine they made us take was not effective against the Anthrax type that Saddam Hussein had. They made us take it anyway.
The government knew that the Anthrax vaccine would cause autoimmune disorders in some people receiving the vaccine. The government knew that the vaccine wasn’t effective against the type of Anthrax weapons Saddam Hussein has. They made us take the vaccine anyway.
This was our government.
There probably is a benefit to taking the Covid vaccine. Some people will develop autoimmune diseases from it. It comes down to a cost/benefit analysis.
How many will die or be disabled by the vaccine versus the numbers who will not die or be crippled by Covid because of the vaccine?
There should be some form of compensation for people who receive the vaccine and then develop autoimmune diseases.
Perhaps the money could come from Fauci?
“of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST)”
Maybe they should add a small amount of warfarin to the injection.
“Lucira’s COVID-19 All-In-One Test Kit”
Or not vaccinate. I can’t believe all the sheep lining up for their vaccines when there is no threat.

Vaccine history shows 3-10 years with the rushed Gulf War 1 shots, 10 months for the 70’s SARS and Swine flu shots ....Not sure about the More modern Dengue, it was half a year before being yanked.....Yes Johnny, haste makes waste.
Let me excerpt it, I doubt the vaccine Nazis ( or those that rushed to get them) will want to read it. They are all “stuck” ( pun intended) with their mindset- Once jabbed, they will never admit or research their actions ( human nature).
“Abstract
RNA-sensing Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are often described as antiviral receptors of the innate immune system. However, the past decade has shown that the function and relevance of these receptors are far more complex. They were found to be essential for the detection of various bacterial, archaeal, and eukaryotic microorganisms and facilitate the discrimination between dead and living microbes. The cytokine and interferon response profile that is triggered has the potential to improve the efficacy of next-generation vaccines and may prevent the development of asthma and allergy. Nevertheless, the ability to recognize foreign RNA comes with a cost as also damaged host cells can release nucleic acids that might induce an inappropriate immune response. Thus, it is not surprising that RNA-sensing TLRs play a key role in various autoimmune diseases. However, promising new inhibitors and antagonists are on the horizon to improve their treatment....”
I also took the anthrax series of vaccinations in the Military.
I have taking lots of vaccines for travel, even some of the more exotic ones.
In my opinion (in my case), anthrax was the worst. I could feel my body tightened up and uncomfortable for years afterward.
Maybe it was an autoimmune reaction.
One of the anti-malarial drugs also did not agree with me, giving me very vivid nightmares.
There is always going to be a spread of individual reactions, to any food, drug or vaccine, based on individual genetics and circumstances.
We just have to monitor and manage risks, to operate through as best as we can.
One in a million type reactions.
The ITP (although rare) also occurs with other vaccines - but dramatically less common with vaccines than when people get the actual diseases.
The CVST (less than one in a million) seem to be occurring LESS among those vaccinated, than among the general population.
That is likely because the sample was not random. We preferentially vaccinated older people. For most health issues, the older people are more susceptible, but this malady strikes more among women in their prime.
The concern is that this serious reaction (6 women, out of 6.8 million people vaccinated) was seen more after the first shot of vaccine, than after the second (though still less than the predicted occurrence among the unvaccinated population).
I think the likely outcome is a pause to cover the bureaucrats butts for liability (in their careers and office politics, not real legal liability), and then a resumption in the use of J&J - with a controversy that will never die hanging over it.
I get you, but I just don’t trust the actual numbers. And even if it were “one in a million” — that one in a million individual deserves a right to know if they MAY be more predisposed than another person to such a risk.
I get that some of these reactions are unpredictable. But let’s ignore clotting risk for a second...
Another “pre-existing” condition that needs to be taken seriously before being vaccinated is whether one has had Covid before and if so, for how long and when. The medical advisory bodies of various countries have differing opinions and protocols. And even here some of the debates have been made public. Should Covid survivors receive “one dose? two dose? no dose?” etc...
It is so dangerous to treat these vaccines no differently than getting a Happy Meal at a McDonald’s drive thru.
The blood clots from the J&J vaccine have been in women 18 to 48. Lancet reported that the use of birth control pills increases the risk of blood clots by a factor of 3. The vascular effects of the virus itself has been of concern too. Could 2 or 3 of these be interacting to cause blood clots?
Scientists in Europe has suggested as much about the AstraZeneca vaccine which bears some resemblance to the J&J in its employment of viral vector DNA technology as opposed to mRNA technology.
Which is why people under 55 are no longer administered in in countries like France, Canada, England etc...Korea it’s 65?
That being said, clotting in general as it pertains to all ages seems to be a risk inherent even in the rival vaccines.
