We've been seeing stuff like this with COVID-19. Long term, COVID-19 can increases susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, diseases which end up having dramatic impacts on brain health. I know some of the scientists that are having a field day publishing research measuring biomarkers that can predict brain health, and they are absolutely seeing an uptick after COVID-19, and have linked it to malfunctioning immune systems.

Could provide a link to which biomarkers there are increasing? Can they be correlated to the variants of virus and vaccine?

  Ok, I misunderstood the difference between an autoimmune disease and immune dysfunctions. COVID can cause malfunctions such as cytokine storms which have a downstream effect of increasing GFAP and NFL, two biomarkers which indicate brain health. If you search long COVID and NFL and GFAP, you should get several studies linking the after effects of acute COVID to increases in these biomarkers. I don't have specific examples though since I didn't read this, I got this from a researcher that's confirmed it in her own (currently unpublished) study and using it to make other observations, I can link you that though when it does get published! That being said I believe articles (like these https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8320425/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8320425/) will confirm as much, I'm just not parrotting any of the findings. As for variants, Omicron was not as bad I'm told, mostly because Omicron caused fewer people to get severely sick as it evolved to become less deadly. Thus there were fewer immune malfunctions. Vaccines should not have caused immune malfunctions as those malfunctions were induced by COVID making people severely sick, often to the point where they ended up in ICUs.
