Vaccine Injuries Spark Reactions After Yale Study Links Covid Shots to Severe Health Issues

A recent Yale University study has shed new light on a condition believed to be linked to Covid-19 vaccines, providing some sense of validation to individuals who have suffered debilitating side effects after receiving their shots, the Daily Mail reports.

Many of these individuals, including healthcare workers, military personnel, and everyday citizens, have shared stories of struggling with symptoms ranging from extreme fatigue to heart palpitations, which they say began shortly after vaccination.

One such person is 31-year-old Lindy Ayers, an Army veteran from Arkansas. Ayers, who was in peak physical condition before receiving her second Pfizer shot in 2021 as part of the military mandate, became wheelchair-bound just months after the vaccination. Initially misdiagnosed with anxiety and later long Covid, Ayers’ condition only worsened, leaving her unable to walk or function normally. It was only much later that doctors at Veteran’s Affairs and Stanford University confirmed her diagnosis of “chronic fatigue” due to the vaccine, alongside reactivated Epstein-Barr virus, a key finding in the Yale study.

The small study by Yale researchers identified a syndrome, called post-vaccination syndrome, which shares symptoms with long Covid, including brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus, and exercise intolerance. The study also found that the vaccine might activate dormant viruses, like Epstein-Barr, and impact the immune system in ways that are still under investigation. Some patients also exhibited high levels of coronavirus proteins in their blood long after receiving the vaccine, leading to sustained inflammation.

Dr. Trevor Keyler, a 39-year-old biology professor from Minnesota, was another individual whose life was affected by his Moderna vaccine. Keyler, who was previously healthy, experienced tremors, fatigue, partial blindness, and blood clots after his vaccination. Despite his symptoms, he was initially told by doctors that they were unrelated to the vaccine, leading to years of misdiagnoses. His condition has since deteriorated, forcing him to reduce his work hours and adjust his lifestyle dramatically.

Though these personal accounts echo the findings in the Yale study, experts note that further research is needed to understand the full scope of the condition. The Yale study emphasized that the results are still in the early stages, and it is unclear how common this syndrome is or how long it may last.

A number of others, including Kari Ponce de Leon from Montana and Erica Evers from Iowa, have reported similar health problems after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine. Ponce de Leon developed blood disorders, while Evers, who initially hesitated to take the vaccine due to its potential risks, has been battling vision problems, retinal hemorrhages, and brain swelling since her shots in 2021. Despite these issues, doctors have struggled to connect the symptoms directly to the vaccine, leaving Evers and others without a clear diagnosis or treatment options.

For many of these individuals, the new study brings a sense of relief, confirming that their experiences may be linked to the vaccine and not merely coincidental or exaggerated. However, the lack of widespread medical recognition and support has left them feeling isolated and dismissed. Ayers, in particular, hopes that the growing body of research will lead to better treatment and recognition for people suffering from post-vaccination conditions.

While vaccines, including those from Pfizer and Moderna, have been shown to save millions of lives globally by preventing Covid-19, this study highlights the need for more in-depth exploration of the potential long-term side effects. Health experts stress that it is important for medical professionals to listen to patients’ concerns, acknowledge their symptoms, and explore all possible causes in order to ensure a more comprehensive understanding of vaccine safety.
