Yale scientists’ study suggests Covid-19 vaccines may have led to horrible condition, PVS

A new study from researchers at the prestigious Yale University has revealed a previously-unrecognised side-effect of the Covid-19 vaccine.

A study from researchers at Yale University suggests Covid-19 vaccines may have led to a previously-unrecognised condition referred to as “post-vaccination syndrome” in some people.

The symptoms include exercise intolerance, excessive fatigue, numbness, brain fog, insomnia, palpitations, tinnitus, dizziness, muscle pain, and even biological changes to immune systems.

A summary of the study published online last week acknowledged “Covid-19 vaccines have prevented millions of Covid-19 deaths” but a “small fraction of the population” have reported suffering from the condition PVS.

It claimed patients with PVS were significantly limited in care and support because the condition is not officially recognised by health authorities.

Lead researcher and an immunologist at Yale University, Dr Akiko Iwasaki, wants to change that.

She told the Daily Mail the research is a work in progress and the team needs funding to expand it to a larger cohort and validate the current findings.

But Dr Iwasaki wants people suffering to know the research will continue in an effort to get better medical care for them.

“People with PVS have felt dismissed and ignored because PVS is not a medically recognised condition,” she told the publication.

“I believe that rigorous scientific research will lead to better diagnosis, treatment and prevention of PVS. Such research will also lead to better transparency and safer vaccines.”

Dr Iwasaki told The New York Times: “It’s not like this study determined what’s making people sick,” she said, “but it’s the first kind of glimpse at what may be going on within these people.”

The team collected blood samples between December 2022 and November 2023 from 42 people with PVS (29 females and 13 males) and 22 healthy people without it (11 females and 11 males) for the research.

Dr Iwasaki and her team found that people with post-vaccination syndrome had one thing in common — a higher plasma level of the coronavirus spike protein.

“Something else is allowing this sort of late-phase expression of spike protein, and we don’t really know what that is,” she said.

The study has not yet been published in a scientific journal.
