COVID-19 Vaccines May Trigger Rheumatic Inflammatory Diseases: Study

[SWAlexander]

On average, patients developed rheumatic diseases 11 days after vaccine administration, according to the study.

A new review suggests that COVID vaccines "may trigger" rheumatic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, including arthritis, vasculitis, lupus, and adult-onset Still's disease.

On average, patients developed rheumatic diseases 11 days after vaccine administration, according to the study. Seventy-five (over 27 percent) of these patients experienced total disease remission, and about 50 percent improved following treatment. Eight were admitted to intensive care, and two died from their symptoms.

"The short time span between COVID-19 vaccine administration and the onset of R-IMIDs suggests the potential possibility of a cause-and-effect relationship," the authors wrote.

Epoch Times is not a trustworthy outlet.

Do you have a link to the review? I clicked on the Epoch Times story but can't read the whole article and I don't want to subscribe. But I would like to see the "review".

COVID-19 vaccination statistically reduces the risk of some autoimmune diseases following COVID-19 infection according to this study:


Risk of autoimmune diseases following COVID-19 and the potential protective effect from vaccination: a population-based cohort study
Kuan Peng et al. EClinicalMedicine. 2023.

Abstract​

Background: Case reports suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection could lead to immune dysregulation and trigger autoimmunity while COVID-19 vaccination is effective against severe COVID-19 outcomes. We aim to examine the association between COVID-19 and development of autoimmune diseases (ADs), and the potential protective effect of COVID-19 vaccination on such an association.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in Hong Kong between 1 April 2020 and 15 November 2022. COVID-19 was confirmed by positive polymerase chain reaction or rapid antigen test. Cox proportional hazard regression with inverse probability of treatment weighting was applied to estimate the risk of incident ADs following COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccinated population was compared against COVID-19 unvaccinated population to examine the protective effect of COVID-19 vaccination on new ADs.
Findings: The study included 1,028,721 COVID-19 and 3,168,467 non-COVID individuals. Compared with non-COVID controls, patients with COVID-19 presented an increased risk of developing pernicious anaemia [adjusted Hazard Ratio (aHR): 1.72; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.12-2.64]; spondyloarthritis [aHR: 1.32 (95% CI: 1.03-1.69)]; rheumatoid arthritis [aHR: 1.29 (95% CI: 1.09-1.54)]; other autoimmune arthritis [aHR: 1.43 (95% CI: 1.33-1.54)]; psoriasis [aHR: 1.42 (95% CI: 1.13-1.78)]; pemphigoid [aHR: 2.39 (95% CI: 1.83-3.11)]; Graves' disease [aHR: 1.30 (95% CI: 1.10-1.54)]; anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome [aHR: 2.12 (95% CI: 1.47-3.05)]; immune mediated thrombocytopenia [aHR: 2.1 (95% CI: 1.82-2.43)]; multiple sclerosis [aHR: 2.66 (95% CI: 1.17-6.05)]; vasculitis [aHR: 1.46 (95% CI: 1.04-2.04)]. Among COVID-19 patients, completion of two doses of COVID-19 vaccine shows a decreased risk of pemphigoid, Graves' disease, anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome, immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune arthritis.
Interpretation: Our findings suggested that COVID-19 is associated with an increased risk of developing various ADs and the risk could be attenuated by COVID-19 vaccination. Future studies investigating pathology and mechanisms would be valuable to interpreting our findings.

How about this one?

The two vax-shots did not protect me from: "anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome, immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune arthritis."

I don't know anything about healio, but as for the words inside the parentheses, when you combine COVID-19 infection and vaccination in the same report, people can use the "results" in a misleading way.

I know that COVID-19 can trigger diseases. I also know that I know of more people dying before the vaccines came out than after. I know of more people dying that didn't take advantage of the vaccine than those who got the vaccine.

Also, from @Cipher's post: COVID-19 vaccination statistically reduces the risk of autoimmune diseases following COVID-19 infection according to this study:

And are you saying that after two vaccines you came down with anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome, immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune arthritis?

 

[SWAlexander]

And are you saying that after two vaccines you came down with anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome, immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune arthritis?

Yes, and I have the lab tests before the vaccine and after.

Instead of doubting me, I suggest Dr. McMillans research.

[Violeta]

I am not doubting you, what I am saying is that the way the information about autoimmune diseases following COVID-19 and the vaccines is more valid than the headline from Epoch Times.

It reduces the risk, not eliminate it.
