The obvious followup question to this line of questioning is whether your proposed mechanism is robust enough to cause a 62% year over year increase. I don’t doubt that the spike protein could damage islet cells, frankly I’m not nearly expert enough to evaluate that claim. Assuming it did, I find it pretty unlikely that it causes this much of an effect. Most medicines intentionally designed to cause specific outcomes would be lucky to have an effect this strong.
- roody15 3y agoAgreed. However the virus is relatively new as are the vaccines. We are still in the process of getting longitudinal information. The introduction of the spike protein does coincide with the dramatic rise of diabetes. You are correct this may not be the reason however it is still quite plausible that this is a largest contributing factor. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-66054946.amp https://www.bbc.com/news/health-66054946.amp
