The previous post was put together because of fear and panic. Of course, all you have to do is switch on the news or scroll endlessly, and that fear just spirals out of control.
For those questioning my training, I have a post about me, but if you do not read it, then that is up to you, but hate posts will be removed, as this takes time and energy.
I very clearly state my PhD is in oncology...cancer research, which entailed research and going where the research leads. One of my exciting projects was looking at the role of Dendritic cells, which are like the 'waiters' of the immune system. They present the menu to the 'snipers' of the adaptive immune system, and this does not make me an immunologist, but I sure have learned a lot on my journey and continue to do so.
However, you soon realise that, when you dive deeper, there are even more unanswered questions... this is called 'science'. Go where the research takes you, not where you want it to take you.
Vaccines are a hot topic; the choice is yours... thankfully.
2.5 decades ago, when I was studying nutrition medicine, most practitioners in the alternative field were a 'laughed at' called 'quacks'. The mention of 'leaky gut' had mainstream practitioners laughing, but now leaky gut is recognised in mainstream medicine. So I guess we are all quacks ๐
But staying on course...let's get onto molecular mimicry..๐ฅ
In 1976, a massive Swine Flu vaccination campaign in the U.S. led to a shocking discovery that vaccinated people were suddenly facing a 4 to 8 times higher risk of developing Guillain-Barrรฉ Syndrome (GBS), a condition where the body attacks its own nerves. The program was immediately halted, and decades later, researchers found that the vaccine triggered 'mistaken identity' aka Molecular Mimicry, where the immune system confused the vaccine components with the protective coating of the human nervous system.
This landmark study shows that sometimes, we may not have the answers right now, but we can connect the dots and come to our own conclusions when making some life decisions regarding health and well-being and more.

And the article 3 decades later
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18522505/
If you want to go further down this road, look up why there is not a vaccine for Strep A, one of the most common bacterial infections in children, yet it can lead to all manner of psychological symptoms.
