COVID Vaccines and Autoimmune Conditions: Experiences and Claims

I personally, Megan, and I was pretty okay

after the initial vaccine, about a year and a half after the vaccine,

I developed psoriasis, an autoimmune condition linked to that depression,

and I wasn't sure what was going on.

And there's a brilliant doctor in Malibu,

a very well-known established gastroenterologist called Sabine Hazan,

and she did some published research,

which is pretty extraordinary and a bit scary,

but we need to talk about it,

is that she found that three years after taking the COVID vaccine,

a very important bacteria in the gut called bifida bacteria,

it's a very important part of the gut microbiome,

it's a good bacteria,

after three years went down to zero.

Now why that's important is that bacteria is very important for health,

it's important for producing neurotransmitters like serotonin,

so a lot of people might be suffering from anxiety, depression,

because of a vaccine they had two or three years ago,

it triggered, almost certainly she feels,

she called me up and said, Asim,

you have the exact signature of someone who's vaccine injured

because your bifida is zero.

And I've had this resistant problem for now, you know,

coming up to a year and a half,

I've still got depression, it's mild, but it's still debilitating at times.

And I see other doctors I speak to are saying

they're seeing explosion of autoimmune conditions.

Megan, if you don't mind me asking,

I remember you mentioned the fact that

you had some issue that you think was vaccine-related

that caused an autoimmune issue as well.

Yeah, that I tested positive for an autoimmune condition,

though it was undiagnosed or unspecified, which one?

Right, okay.

So, and in your mind,

do you feel it may have been linked from,

you know, with everything you know about your health?

Well, I asked the rheumatologist.

No, I asked the rheumatologist, I said,

do you think this could be linked to the fact

that I got the, I got double-shotted by COVID, by Pfizer,

I had both of the vaccines,

and then I got one booster.

And in New York, you couldn't travel,

you couldn't do anything unless you prove, it was just ridiculous.

I wish I hadn't done it, but I did.

So, I got that third booster, first booster, and third shot total.

And within a month, I got COVID.

It was right when the Omicron version started to circulate.

So, within a month, I both had the booster and then COVID,

and then I had my annual physical, and it showed up.

And I then got sent to a rheumatologist,

and I asked her, do you think this,

because it was unspecified, it was like, which one?

They tested for a few specific immunes,

it didn't like register one versus another.

And I said, do you think this could be

because of what just happened with the getting the booster

and then getting COVID within a month?

And she said,

yes, I do.

And you're not the only patient I

have seen have this exact sequence of events.
