Scientists from Yale University have discovered a syndrome linked to the mRNA Covid vaccines that damages the immune system and causes chronic fatigue with spike protein persisting in the blood for up to two years. The Mail has more.
The previously-unknown condition – dubbed ‘post-vaccination syndrome’ – appears to cause brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus and exercise intolerance.
Some sufferers also show distinct biological changes, including differences in immune cells and the presence of coronavirus proteins in their blood, years after taking the shot.
The condition also appears to reawaken a dormant virus in the body called Epstein-Barr which can cause flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes and nerve issues.
The full results of the small study have not yet been published, and the Yale experts emphasised the results “are still a work in progress”.
Yet the findings, from a well-respected institution, suggest more research on post-vaccination syndrome is needed, independent experts said.
The next phase of the research will be to ascertain how widespread the condition is and who is most at risk.
Thousands of people have said that Covid vaccines injured them since the shots were rolled out in 2021.
But the fragmented nature of the US healthcare system makes it challenging to identify rare side effects.
Larger studies have failed to separate the symptoms suffered after Covid vaccination from unrelated illnesses that would have occurred regardless.
Dr Akiko Iwasaki, study author and immunologist at Yale University, said: “This work is still in its early stages, and we need to validate these findings.
“But this is giving us some hope that there may be something that we can use for diagnosis and treatment of PVS down the road.” …
In the new study, Iwasaki’s team collected blood samples from 42 people with post-vaccination syndrome (PVS) and 22 people without it between December 2022 and November 2023.
When they analysed the patients’ immune systems, those with PVS had different proportions of some immune cells. It’s unclear what these differences might mean as the researchers couldn’t link them to specific symptoms.
The team also looked at 134 people with long Covid, as PVS symptoms overlap with it, as well as 134 healthy vaccine recipients.
Both people with long Covid and those with PVS seemed to have reactivated Epstein-Barr syndrome.
More than nine in 10 adults have had Epstein-Barr at some point in their lives, a common infection spread through bodily fluids like saliva or semen.
It causes symptoms like fatigue, fever and rashes, and once symptoms disappear, the virus remains dormant in the body, where it can be reactivated when the immune system is low.
People with PVS also had elevated levels of Covid spike proteins.
The levels in PMS patients were even greater than those found in patients with Long Covid, a condition with similar symptoms linked to the virus itself.
Persistent spike proteins in the body are thought to cause some of Long Covid’s symptoms, by keeping the body in a constant state of inflammation.
This was true in patients who received their vaccines between 36 and 709 days prior.
Dr Iwasaki said: “That was surprising, to find spike protein in circulation at such a late time point.
“We don’t know if the level of spike protein is causing the chronic symptoms, because there were other participants with PVS who didn’t have any measurable spike protein.
“‘But it could be one mechanism underlying this syndrome.” …
Dr Harlan Krumholz, co-senior study author and Harold H. Hines, Jr. Professor of Medicine at Yale, said: “It’s clear that some individuals are experiencing significant challenges after vaccination.
“Our responsibility as scientists and clinicians is to listen to their experiences, rigorously investigate the underlying causes, and seek ways to help.”

The story has been covered by (unusually) the New York Times , and also by Alex Berenson, Peter McCullough and A Mid-Western Doctor. According to Steve Kirsch, all the mainstream medical journals the researchers tried to submit the paper to refused to consider publishing it. Which, if true, is utterly shameful and a betrayal of science and the trusting public.
Berenson provides some further details on the immune system damage:
The study found that patients with post-vaccine syndrome had low levels of crucial CD4 ‘helper’ T-cells, and some of their CD8 ‘killer’ T-cells showed evidence of what immunologists call exhaustion.
He says the new study has additional credibility because the authors had previously been dismissive of problems with the vaccines:
The new findings are particularly credible and concerning because LISTEN’s Co-Chair, Dr Akiko Iwasaki, is a former President of the American Association of Immunologists who in 2021 called concerns about the mRNA shots “absurd”.
In a press release announcing the preprint’s findings this morning, Dr Iwasaki struck a different tone. “That was surprising, to find spike protein in circulation at such a late time point,” she said. “We don’t know if the level of spike protein is causing the chronic symptoms… but it could be one mechanism underlying this syndrome.”
Nicolas Hulscher, writing on Dr Peter McCullough’s Courageous Discourse Substack, notes that the findings “help to explain delayed adverse events and long-term harms from COVID-19 mRNA injections, especially given that 320 peer-reviewed scientific studies confirm that the spike protein is highly pathogenic on its own”.
It comes amid reports that Covid vaccines “could be suspended for all age groups in America under radical new plans backed by key health figures in the Trump Administration” – though this story appears to be largely pinned on Jay Bhattacharya’s previous support for the Hope Accord rather than any clear new developments.
Persistence of post-vaccination spike protein in the blood and its association with Long Covid-type symptoms was discovered way back in summer 2022 by a team of US researchers – though it doesn’t appear that that study ever made it into a peer-reviewed journal (why not?) A study in early 2023 published in Circulation found an association between persisting blood spike protein and myocarditis (heart inflammation) in young adults and adolescents. So the latest results should not have come as a surprise to anyone paying attention. The work should also have been done way before now, of course. Such as, for example, before the vaccines were injected into billions of arms.

If serious medical conditions are linked to covid jabs, the chances of jabs being foisted on us in future as happened with covid are far less because the population just won’t wear it.
If it had all gone swimmingly, we’d be under jab tyranny for ever.
I wish I shared your optimism in respect of people seeking out information and making their own decisions. Unfortunately, I know so many people who unthinkingly and dutifully go along to get their jabs and boosters because the government has told them to.
The jab tyranny during the covid years was made possible by the mass participation.
It wouldn’t have taken much resistance to stop it, but there was virtually none. I think in future there will be enough critical.mass of resistance.
I think you may be right. More than 100,000 NHS workers declined the “covid vaccine” and the government backed down from making it mandatory as they had done for care home workers, because they realised the mess they would be in logistically and politically otherwise. I remember being on the tube in London after the general mask mandate had finished but TFL decided to keep going with it – there were plenty of people still masking, but plenty not. TFL binned the mandate not long after.
The government only backed down because the then health secretary, Sajid Javid, was embarrassed live on TV by Dr Steve James, stating he would not be jabbed.
Meanwhile my sister came within two days of being sacked from her job at a London teaching hospital for refusing the jab (she is a respiratory consultant).
I note that Sajid Javid was knighted recently.
Well hard to know all the reasons but had that Dr James bloke been just one isolated “anti vaxxer” it think they could have got away with it, but against 100,000+ at a time when the headlines were all about the NHS being short staffed
I agree. I think enough people now have had adverse effects or know someone who has had adverse effects or died to generate far more resistance. I know 3 people who have had adverse effects plus 4 who died of strokes and 6 who have developed aggressive cancer (3 now dead, 1 terminal and two who have had treatment and may survive).
In the future the psyop used to attack humanity will likely be a totally different scenario yet again. A previous faux event was 9/11 and the ‘war on terror’. The next may be, for example, a total collapse of banking and currency, a failure of digital systems crashing all computers and the internet. Or a world war.
Thanks for cheering up my Friday! I thought it was the government that used fearmongering tactics but we seem to be doing a fine job of it. Sadly though you’re probably right.
Mass participation was made possible by fear mongering by your gov’t medical advisors and gov’t at the time. The message from them, “You were going to die if you declined the covid vaxx(es).
20% of any population are capable of critical thinking.
20% will swallow anything (aka Guardian/ BBC and become avid disciples.
The rest go wherever they’re led.
Indeed. So do I. Very disheartening.
’Survival of the fittest’ is a cruel mistress.
I hope you’re right, but I still see far too many people saying that they’ve had jab number 57 and are still feeling ill. The problem is that generally there are not enough people who have read Turtles All The Way Down and understand that pretty much every vaccine ever created doesn’t do what its developers thought it did.
The Sheeple will do it all over again. 80% are either stupid or fascist or both.
The narrative is that only the unstabbed (me) died.
Most sheeple believe that.
None of them because they are idiots, understand that the death rate did not move, and that flu disappaered, cancer, dementia etc went down, and that spring 2020 was murder of the old behind closed doors.
They are too stupid to comprehend anything.
In any study I have seen, 10-20% max of the pop possess critical thinking skills.
Previously unknown to whom? To “experts” whoever they might be…?
Back in the real world I don’t know anyone who doesn’t know someone who has been hurt by the wretched things.
Or died.
Coming up to the fifth anniversary of that ides of March weekend, preceding publication without peer review beyond the confines of South Kensington, of Report 9 by the self-appointed sages of Imperialist College, London.
Same Report 9 that used the word assume (or derivative thereof) over 40 times, including assuming the spread of a respiratory virus with an age-fatality profile that paralleled general mortality…
…In workplaces, schools and homes, predominantly populated by younger, fitter and healthier people,
…But not assuming spread in hospitals, residential care and nursing homes, predominantly populated by older, less fit and more unhealthy people.
As discussed briefly by Caesar and the Soothsayer…
Caesar: Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue shriller than all the music
Cry, “Caesar!” Speak, Caesar is turn’d to hear.
Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March.
Caesar: What man is that?
Brutus: A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.
Caesar: Set him before me; let me see his face.
Cassius: Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.
Caesar: What say’st thou to me now? speak once again.
Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March.
Caesar: He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.
Perhaps’s they have noticed which way the wind is blowing now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh9aJk4y-rc&list=WL&index=4&t=25s might be interesting – Dr. Suneel Dhand’s latest 6.5 minutes on RFK’s plan.
Off-T.
This doesn’t look very good for a certain Mr Johnson. He’s seemingly responsible for thousands of deaths both home (C1984) and abroad.
Keep them coming Donald.

Shocking, but perhaps not surprising.
Quite, where would the military-industrial complex get its 30 pieces of silver every day without some wars to foment.
I hope he bastard rots in hell.
One of my regrets was hoping he’d recover from his covid infection.
I wonder how many idiots actually believed he was at death’s door.
And apparently he was the only person ever to have walked int on ICU. Lol.
So the symptoms of Post Vaccination Syndrome (PVS) and so-called “Long Covid” have very similar symptoms – Hmmm
All the things we’ve been saying on here since the rollout began, and were attacked and vilified for, are now being admitted to, albeit reluctantly and without due fanfare.
Would be interesting to know how many people who (claim to) have so-called “Long Covid” are unvaxxed?
Just like the number of deaths within 1 week, 2 weeks or longer of an actual injection, we’ll probably never really know. All the people who “died suddenly”, had they recently had a “vax” or booster, again we’ll probably never know. Such records are probably being destroyed, or as they’ll claim lost or mislaid!
It is a bitter pill to swallow because it demonstrates that they attacked you and damaged you whether you took the injection or not. Resolve, courage, erudition, understanding – they all counted for nothing because this toxin is designed to have no respect for virtue or guile. You are a lesser person than you otherwise would’ve been because of this in terms of your health. If you want concepualize it then think of Klaus Kinski in Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu or the French torture film Martyrs. You will have the flesh flayed from your bones. The whole of your psycho-spiritual emotional reality will be in tatters. Beauty long gone. Totally reduced and dejected. Most likely you will despair and succumb. But if not then the embryo of a tasty little hard nut might be born. Weak and without coordination but still it sprouts up. Look at human populations all over the world and the horrors they endured and yet they survived. There is no going back to the vitality that we had a few years ago for a very long time but it is my belief that it is impossible for anything in the materium to extinguish the divine anthropos. But don’t beat yourself up too much if you decide that you’ve had enough especially given all of the environmental factors that make a bad situation even worse.
Look at the terms for example ‘chronic fatigue’ sound harmless enough. Chronic is an open-ended word and in this context seems to mean forever. People who are used to training everyday report these symptoms and describe them as the same as the feeling of overtraining. And even if they take a couple of weeks off exercise if they attempt a modest workout then they pay for it the following day. There are ways to combat it but it is a nasty situation when the best and most vital of people feel afflicted by this malaise. It is a serious diminution of vital energy.
I seem to remember the phrase was something like:
“…being used under emergency licensing…prior to completing full clinical trials ”
Well the evidence is clearly showing that use should have stopped by now.
I have a question.
Does the AZ vaccine (adenovector DNA) also produce persistent spike protein production? Does anyone know?
RFK ban the mRNA covid vaxxes immediately.
