Covid vaccines and Auto Immune Disease

Post by onebigpill »

I am not hugely political, and I am vaccinated for covid. However, I have been hearing that the covid vaccine may be linked to auto immune diseases. Any knowledge or medical studies about this?

Thanks,

Before I began my explanation, please note that the vaccines do not increase the risk of developing an autoimmune disease. The risk of developing an autoimmune disease is increased as a result of developing a Covid 19. So yes, the vaccines are indeed linked with the development of autoimmune diseases for people who develop Covid 19. But the association is negative, not positive. In other words, no evidence has been found that the vaccines increase the risk of developing autoimmune disease, but for Covid 19 patients, having the vaccines prior to developing Covid 19 actually decreases the risk of developing autoimmune disease. If you want a medical reference:

I hope this addresses your concerns./
