Thank you for the links! Here’s a review about autoimmunity in COVID-19: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896841120301281#sectitle0075 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S089684112... > There is a study[0] showing cross-reactivity between SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and other human tissues, thus predisposing the host to autoimmune diseases. This should apply even more so to any vaccine since vaccines produce a more robust immune response. Since the antibody tested in the study was a commercial, monoclonal one, this is somewhat hard to assess. But I think you’re right given what they found in the blood tests. > This does not really shine a light on pre-disposition to an autoimmune disease 6-9-12 mo down the road. Autoimmune reactions should happen in the short run, right?

>Autoimmune reactions should happen in the short run, right? I believe Pandermix took 6 months for narcolepsy to develop.

  According to https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0033536 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjourn... the onset judged by "first contact to health care" was much earlier.

    There seems to be an early-onset but also long-standing effect, maybe due to circulating antibodies inducing the autoimmune response over time.

      This does not make sense to me. Your own antibodies triggering an autoimmune response ?

  The important to thing to realize about Pandermix was that the rate of people impact was so small that even if we followed 50k phase 3 participants over 10 years, we wouldn't have uncovered the issue. The narcolepsy issue was never going to be uncovered before it was rolled out large scale.
