not trying to start a heated debate here. people are free to dismiss this theory but i think it should be part of the discussion. last week i read this great article on brain inflammation/damage, vaccination history, and the emergence of certain chronic diseases. it's LONG but there are very few articles that cover a broad historical perspective like this one. i have been in this space (what some call "antivaxx" but is really just people wanting proper safety testing, informed consent, and no mandates) for 14 years. and i have read a lot about vaccines. i have come to the conclusion that when industry is causing the health problem it will not be looked into. there will be no studies done. no money available.
here is the article on substack: https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-much-damage-have-vaccines-done
my extremely fast breakdown of his article (which misses a lot of points) is that vaccines can cause brain damage and inflammation. I believe the mechanism is via an immune response. most people don't know this but vaccines generally contain a component that is design to provoke a strong immune reaction. this is not the pathogen itself as you might suspect. it's called an adjuvant. examples of this are Thimerosal (contains mercury) and aluminum salts. vaccines are a product designed to permanently (or at least for years) alter your immune response to a specific pathogen. however, i find it hard to believe it can have this very specific effect without altering other aspects of the immune system. and then there is the toxicity of the adjuvant itself.
so lately i've been focused on the immune system/ brain inflammation angle. this means using different keywords like treating encephalopathy, encephalitis, reducing inflation markers. searching pubmed for studies.
my current theory (after eliminating many others) is i was injured by vaccination early in life. i have had issues for years. strange events in childhood consistent with vaccine injury. and now, unfortunately, would put myself in the chronic fatigue category.
if you look into the covid injury data (vaers, v-safe) you will see it has unprecidented injury and death rates. you will also see all manner of explanations for these injuries and deaths that don't involve the vaccine. none of these stories will lead back to the vaccine. and it got me wondering if CFS might be similar. another mystery illness baffling most mainstream doctors. doctors who prefer to keep their medical license.
perhaps someone with a broader understanding of CFS history can put some pieces together. CFS outbreaks around new vaccines? bad vaccine batches? vaccines can definitely reactivate dormant viral infections as we've seen with covid. so you could get a group of vaccinated having what appeared to be a viral infection. that would be confusing.
i realize that some of this may seem like wild speculation or just crazy talk. 20 years ago i would have thought the same thing. i used to get all my shots. but, if i'm honest, i knew nothing about vaccines. i'm on a different page now but it took about 6 months of research for that to happen back around 2010. i am still not categorically against vaccines. i evaluate them one at a time with a set of criteria.
thoughts?
