For the second time in under a month, The New York Times has published an article about people who developed a rare autoimmune disease after receiving COVID vaccines.
Monday’s article featured two women, both of whom were described as healthy before they received the Moderna vaccine. The women, ages 72 and 48, are now being treated for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a condition that develops when the immune system attacks platelets (blood component essential for clotting) or the cells that create them, according to the Times.
On Jan. 13, the Times reported on the death of Dr. Gregory Michael, a Florida doctor who died 15 days after getting the Pfizer vaccine. Michael, who was 56 and described as “perfectly healthy” by his wife, developed ITP three days after being vaccinated. He died of a brain hemorrhage on Jan. 3. As The Defender reported on Jan. 13, Dr. Jerry L. Spivak, an expert on blood disorders at Johns Hopkins University, said it was a “medical certainty” the Pfizer vaccine led to Michael’s death.
Spivak, who was interviewed for Monday’s article in the Times, reiterated the link between the vaccine and ITP. Another doctor, Dr. James Bussel, a hematologist and professor emeritus at Weill Cornell Medicine who has written more than 300 scientific articles on the platelet disorder, also said he thinks there is a “possible” association between the vaccines and ITP.
Bussel told the Times:
“I’m assuming there’s something that made the people who developed thrombocytopenia susceptible, given what a tiny percentage of recipients they are. Having it happen after a vaccine is well-known and has been seen with many other vaccines. Why it happens, we don’t know.”

When it all goes to Hell, and it’s headed there, they will call them the Trump vaccines and blame it all on him. And us.
I’ll take my chances with the disease.
“If it saves just one life”
AstraZenica’s vaccine uses fetal stem cells. I don’t know about Sputnik.
Since I didn’t drink the Kool-Aid, I never had any plans to get the vaccine. I’m sticking by my decision.
That's not how it works - causality assessment requires a bit more evidence than an N=1.
There may be some actual affect on auto-immune thrombocytopenia but to say after one case that its "certain" is quackery.
Boop
“AstraZenica’s vaccine uses fetal stem cells.”
Stop spreading that lie.
““I’m assuming there’s something that made the people who developed thrombocytopenia susceptible, given what a tiny percentage of recipients they are.

Apparently this occasionally happens with other vaccines as well.
I was diagnosed with Thrombocytopenia years ago. Last labs were at 99. No way on earth would I get within a mile of one of these Franken-vaccines.
Michael, who was 56 and described as “perfectly healthy” by his wife, developed ITP three days after being vaccinated.

He’s perfectly healthy, Jim.
BTTT!!!
Move along. Nothing here. Don’t look.

Thanks for posting.
It seems that there have been about 35 cases, and it happens with many different vaccines. The doctor quoted is the world expert on this disease.
This possible side effect is at the bottom of the list of things to concerned about where these ‘vaccines’ are concerned
Another ‘article’ from an anti-vaxxer propaganda mill.
“Children’s Health Defense is an American 501c3 nonprofit advocacy organization, known for its anti-vaccine activism. Much of the material put forth by the organization involves misinformation on vaccines and anti-vaccine propaganda. It was founded and is chaired by Robert F. Kennedy Jr Established under the name World Mercury Project in 2016, it has been campaigning against various public health programs, such as vaccination and fluoridation of drinking water. The group has been contributing to vaccine hesitancy in the United States, encouraging citizens and legislators to support anti-vaccine regulations and legislation. Arguments against vaccination are contradicted by overwhelming scientific consensus about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.”

Or, if you don’t like wikipedia, there’s this:
“Brother and Sister of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Accuse Him of Spreading Misinformation on Vaccines”
“A brother, sister and niece of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday chastised him for campaigning against vaccines, saying he has been disseminating “dangerous misinformation” that discourages immunization even as measles spreads throughout the United States.
They declared that they love him and praised his work to protect the environment. “However, on vaccines he is wrong,” they wrote in a column published in Politico under the headline “RFK Jr. Is Our Brother and Uncle. He’s Tragically Wrong About Vaccines.”
Mr. Kennedy’s sister, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, a former lieutenant governor of Maryland; his brother, Joseph P. Kennedy II, a former Massachusetts congressman; and his niece, Maeve Kennedy McKean, executive director of Georgetown University’s Global Health Initiatives, criticized him for participating in social media campaigns that have stoked fear and mistrust of vaccines and for attacking public health institutions seeking to stem the spread of infectious diseases.

They also believe 5G is a major threat to children’s health.
The Children’s Health Defense Team is about as credible source as the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Oh, okay
Whew
😰🥴
🙃
What’s wrong with using proven and tested medicines (Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin), vitamin D, and Zinc?
The AstraZenica vaccine was created from a virus grown in a cell line derived from aborted fetal tissue.
That means lots of pro life people would avoid this vaccine for reasons of conscience.
Some people will say hey you’re not injecting aborted fetus when you get the vaccine, but that’s a strawman that ignores the whole issue
This is starting to sound like the aftermath of those who took the Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13:16, 16:2) or some such thing. We really are seeing Previews of Coming Attractions.
