Experts fromYale Universityhave uncovered a new, concerning condition linked to theCOVID-19 vaccines. Dubbed “Post-Vaccination Syndrome” (PVS), it not only comes with a host of uncomfortable symptoms—but it also causespersistent biological changesyears after injection.
Not only that, the scientists also identified a troubling connection between PVS and the reactivation of a virus known as Epstein-Barr, a dormant agent thatresides in most people and causes flu-like symptoms.
“This work is still in its early stages, and we need to validate these findings,” Dr. Akiko Iwasaki, the study’s author, said. “But this is giving us some hope that there may be somethingthat wecan use to treat PVS down the road.”
While the study has notbeen publishedin its entirety, its initial findings have been enough to scare and anger netizens.
“I can’t believe they forced us to take the shot without fully understanding its long-term effects,” one user wrote.

Thefindingsare the result of research conducted on blood samples collected from 42 people diagnosed with the syndromeand comparing themto 22 control subjects who had the vaccine but had not experienced any post-jab symptoms.
The results showed that those with PVS had different proportions of immune cells compared to the control group, as well aselevated levels of COVID spike proteins years after being vaccinated.
These proteins were also found in 134 subjects who contractedcoronavirusand suffered from it for a long period of time.
“That was surprising to find spike protein in circulation at such a latetimepoint,” Dr. Iwasaki said.
Patients suffering from PVS reported experiencing fever, dizziness, and brain fog years after receiving their coronavirus shots
For many patients, the symptoms of PVS have been life-altering. Such is the case of 32-year-oldSascha Schwartz, a care worker from Germany, who has been fighting the symptoms of the syndrome ever since hewas administeredan AstraZeneca vaccine.
“I’ve never felt such stark helplessness and powerlessness as I have over the last two years. I feel trapped in my own body andhave the feelingthat I no longer exist,” Schwartz said in an interview.
Fever, dizziness, and constant headaches became a part of his daily routine. The worst, he said, is a “brain fog” that makes it impossible for him to concentrate.
“You go on autopilot. It’s like being drained of vitality. It’s like you’re in a stupor, where stimuli no longer register, and you feel electricity in your head,” he shared.

Making matters worse was the dismissal of several doctors who, according to him, swatted away his complaints as “psychosomatic,” or the product of mental stress.
“It took me six months to find an immunologist who would take me and my complaints seriously,” he recounted, remembering how doctors told him countless times: “This can’t be; thevaccinesare safe.”
AstraZenecawas forcedto formally admit that their vaccine could, in rare cases, trigger an illness that results in permanent brain damage

The refusal to face the possibility thatCOVIDvaccines came with long-lasting side effects for some people is nothing new forKate Scott, the representative of a UK group called Vaccine Injured and Bereaved (VIBUK).
“We were pushedinto the shadows during the pandemic,” she told theBBC.
“We are an uncomfortable truth, but we are a truth and the truth is for everyone in our group—the vaccine caused serious harm and death.”

The Scott family sued AstraZeneca in August 2023, and, as a result, the pharmaceutical company was forced to admit in February 2024 that its COVID vaccine “can, in very rare cases, cause VITT.”
The study’s authors urged doctors to not dismiss patient concerns and to listen to their experiences

Dr. Harlan Krumholz, the co-senior author of the Yale study and a professor of medicine at Yale, urged a cautious approach to interpreting the findings but acknowledged the severity of the challenges some individuals face after vaccination.
“It’s clear that some individuals are experiencing significant challenges after vaccination,” he mentioned. “Our responsibility as scientists and clinicians is to listen to their experiences, rigorously investigate the underlying causes, and seek ways to help.”

On the other hand, Dr. Paul Offit, a vaccine expert at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, spoke with the Daily Mail to defend the injections, emphasizing that they remain safe for the vast majority of people.
“The vaccines have been given to billions of people at this point, and there were large prospective placebo-controlled studies that didn’t show these effects,” he said.
As for the Yale study, the next stages involve understanding how widespread PVS truly is and identifying who might be most at risk.
While the paper is still in its infancy, its findings underscore the importance of further investigation into post-vaccinationsymptoms.
Netizens were left feeling powerless and angry and took to social media to share their experiences

“My coworker’s 28-year-old son has the heart of an eighty-year-old and cannot walk up more than five steps without stopping to rest for about 3-5 minutes to catch his breath,” one user wrote.
“I’m a 72-year-old who runs 5K regularly without difficulty. My stamina has now gone since Covid. I struggle to run and get breathless and tired very easily. This has nothing to do with age,” another shared.
“I got most of the above symptoms and my life has deteriorated so badly. I try most things to negate the damage, but who knows how much damage has actually been done?!” one reader said.
“Most of us already knew this, as evidence from independent studies showed this to be the case over and over again,” another argued.
“But if anyone even dared to mention it to the media, they were called ‘conspiracy theorists.’”
