An autoimmune disease is a condition that results when your immune system wrongly attacks your own organs, tissues, glands, or cells. It’s the inflammation that results from this misguided attack that causes symptoms.
Some of the world’s leading immunologists blame exposure to SARS-CoV-2, others blame the experimental COVID vaccines — but could both potentially cause a devastating super-epidemic of autoimmune disease?
There’s been increasing concern voiced by world-leading immunologists that we could soon witness a devastating super-epidemic of autoimmune diseases. Some think it’s our exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus that’s the major concern. While others are more worried about the novel, still experimental vaccines, delivered at an unprecedented scale. But could it be both? In this piece, we aim to get under the covers of this complex area that’s been getting very little airtime in the mainstream media.
Autoimmune 101
Autoimmune diseases represent a diverse group of over 100 diseases including type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, lupus, psoriasis, coeliac disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, Addison’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, pancreatitis, Graves disease, Hashimoto’s, fibromyalgia, and many other common diseases.
The underlying mechanism that links all these diseases is the loss of self-tolerance. As a result, the body starts to attack healthy cells or parts of itself, leading to the characteristic symptoms of one of the myriad autoimmune diseases.
Autoimmune super-epidemic
The suggestion that we might face a super-epidemic isn’t a wild hypothesis. It’s a carefully considered judgment based on the fact we’re already amidst an autoimmune epidemic in the Western industrialized world.
