How much of this can be explained by pure statistics? When you have vaccination rates of 60% and above, you're going to see very rare diseases and disorders show up in the treated population. Correlation doesn't imply causation.
It would be great to see what the prevalence of diseases in treated population is compared to that in the previously (pre-covid) untreated population, I expect that comparing against the currently untreated population could be problematic due to the higher incidence of covid in this population.
I feel that the paper (from a scan admittedly) is more a anecdotal listing of cases so I don't get a feel for whether the needle has shifted or not wrt autoimmune case incidence. While I think it's a great idea to look into the effects of the vaccination on folks, I also fear that the downside effects of anti-vaxxers waving this paper around out of context saying you see you shouldn't get vaccinated because you're going to have all these autoimmune issues.
