A big study of over 640,000 people who had Covid. Showing the risk of developing autoimmune diseases as a result. The IRR column is the one to look at, I’ve converted to % risk below. So: - 43% greater risk of developing an autoimmune disorder - 23% greater risk of developing more than one disorder - 42% greater risk of rheumatoid arthritis - 55% greater risk of coeliac disease. etc. It’s a horror story. The BS of ‘living with’ Covid is coming home to roost. This is pre-vaccines, but remember vaccines don’t prevent infection. And we haven’t vaccinated younger children at all in Australia, so this data applies directly to them. For the vaccinated, the fact Covid so easily infects them as well suggests the same damage is likely being caused there.
