Megyn Kelly has made a striking assertion that she sustained injuries from the Pfizer Covid vaccine. In a recent episode of her podcast, the conservative commentator revealed that she developed an ‘unspecified autoimmune condition’ following her two vaccine doses and a booster shot. During her conversation with Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a cardiologist associated with RFK Jr., she mentioned that medical professionals were unable to identify the exact disorder affecting her, but suggested a possible connection to the vaccine.
The 54-year-old expressed her concerns to a visibly taken aback Dr. Malhotra, stating, “I inquired with the rheumatologist about a potential link to the Pfizer vaccine and booster, and she confirmed, ‘Yes, and you’re not the only patient I have who has experienced this sequence of events.’ I regret having received the vaccine, but I did.” Kelly further admitted that her belief in the safety of the Covid vaccine was “the number one thing I’ve been wrong about.”
Despite her claims, the CDC continues to advocate for the vaccination of both children and adults, asserting that the benefits of protection against Covid outweigh the minimal risk of side effects. This discussion follows a significant study from Yale University, which identified a previously unrecognized condition termed ‘post-vaccination syndrome’ (PVS) associated with mRNA Covid vaccines. The limited study indicated that patients with PVS exhibited notable biological alterations in their immune systems. However, Yale experts informed DailyMail.com that the findings are still evolving, and the prevalence of PVS remains uncertain.
In the podcast, Megyn Kelly, as depicted, claims to have experienced an autoimmune injury due to her Covid vaccination. Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist considered for a prominent advisory position alongside RFK Jr., reacted with alarm to Kelly’s account of vaccine-related injury. Experts estimate that the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines have saved millions of lives worldwide, including approximately 3 million in the United States, with the risk of severe side effects estimated at around one in 50,000. According to CDC data, Covid continues to claim the lives of about 300 Americans each week. Kelly did not elaborate on her specific symptoms or the effects of her diagnosis.
The most prevalent symptoms associated with the newly recognized Post-Vaccine Syndrome (PVS) include cognitive difficulties, dizziness, tinnitus, heart palpitations, and exercise intolerance, characterized by fatigue following minimal physical activity. In these uncommon instances, the vaccine seems to reactivate a latent virus known as Epstein–Barr and disrupt individuals’ immune systems in complex ways that are still under investigation.
Additionally, individuals diagnosed with PVS exhibited elevated levels of coronavirus spike proteins in their bloodstream, persisting years after vaccination, which may result in a chronic inflammatory state. Dr. Malhotra, who has faced allegations of disseminating misinformation for asserting that the Covid vaccine has led to numerous fatalities among young individuals, stated to DailyMail.com after the interview: “The revelation by one of the most recognized public figures in the United States about being vaccine-injured and feeling secure enough to discuss it with a knowledgeable doctor indicates that many, potentially millions, of Americans are enduring their struggles in silence.”
Dr. Malhotra expressed his belief that his autoimmune disorder was also a consequence of the Pfizer vaccine. Approximately two and a half years post his second dose, he was diagnosed with psoriasis, a condition that results in red, scaly patches on the skin. Affecting around 7 million Americans, psoriasis is thought to stem from an immune system overreaction, leading to excessive skin cell production. Dr. Malhotra experiences lumpy, itchy rashes due to this condition and must frequently apply antibiotic ointments to manage flare-ups. He conveyed to DailyMail.com his conviction that his psoriasis (illustrated here) was induced by the Pfizer Covid vaccine.
In light of RFK Jr.’s appointment as Health Secretary, what transformations can we anticipate in MAGAland?
Dr. Malhotra sought assistance from gastroenterologist Dr. Sabine Hazan, whose research indicates that Covid vaccines may deplete the body of beneficial bacteria, specifically Bifidobacterium.
Bifidobacterium is believed to enhance the production of immune cells. Dr. Malhotra informed DailyMail.com that a microbiome test revealed she had no Bifidobacterium, which is considered one of the essential gut bacteria for overall health.
While some case studies have reported instances of psoriasis following Covid vaccination, the research remains inconclusive, and there has been no direct association established between the condition and vaccines. Ongoing studies on vaccine side effects continue to emerge, yet the CDC maintains its recommendation for Covid vaccines and boosters, particularly for older adults and those with weakened immune systems, as they may be at greater risk for the disease.
Currently, only two long-term side effects have been definitively associated with the Covid vaccine: anaphylaxis and two forms of heart damage known as myocarditis and pericarditis. In cases of myocarditis, it is believed that the immune system may mistakenly identify the mRNA in Covid vaccines as a threat, prompting an autoimmune response that results in inflammation of the myocardium, the heart muscle. A similar mechanism is thought to contribute to pericarditis, which causes inflammation of the pericardium, the protective sac surrounding the heart.
Both myocarditis and pericarditis have been associated with various viruses, including those responsible for the common cold and hepatitis, as well as Covid. Although most cases are mild, there are rare instances where these conditions can lead to significant heart damage, impairing the heart’s ability to pump blood and potentially resulting in heart failure, heart attacks, or strokes. In the United States, the incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis is uncommon, with estimates ranging from one in 50,000 to one in 200,000 individuals.
Federal statistics indicate that the risk of developing myocarditis from Covid infection is considerably higher than that associated with vaccination, prompting experts to continue endorsing the vaccines. Furthermore, autoimmune diseases have been more consistently linked to long Covid than to vaccination, making it challenging to ascertain whether a person’s side effects stem from the virus or the vaccine if they have previously contracted Covid.
