Adjuvants in Vaccines and AITD

[asiatic]

I have previously posted that I think my Graves was triggered by 3 vaccines given prior to a holiday to the far east. Before deciding to have the Covid Jag I read quite a few papers and one in particular stood out.

Autoimmune/Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants and Thyroid Autoimmunity

Abdulla Watad et al. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne). 2017.

It concludes :- “ASIA syndrome (Autoimmune Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants ) is being more recognized by physicians, and therefore, more studies and cases have reported the correlation of the exposure to various adjuvants with diverse autoimmune diseases. Still, very few clinical reports and animal models studies were published to show the relationship. However, the clinical cases of HT and/or subacute thyroiditis were observed after the exposure to vaccines as well as silicone implantation. Therefore, we believe that the minority of cases is not owing to rarity of association between adjuvants and AITD rather than the lack of awareness among physicians of such association. Consequently, physicians must be mindful that thyroiditis and other thyroid disorders can be induced by diverse adjuvants and therefore to reconsider non-essential vaccination in genetically predisposed individuals for autoimmune diseases."

Being unsure if covid vaccines contain adjuvants or not, I researched and there appears to be some confusion/misinformation or maybe terminology variations. the 1st link below indicates there are adjuvants, the 2nd that there arent and the 3rd that at least there are no alum adjuvants. Maybe you can research also (let me know outcome)? Either way, Im not suggesting you get the covid jab or not - it should be an individual decision in my opinion.

Thank you userotic for those links. The vaccines I had were for Hep A, Typhoid and Tetanus which did contain Aluminium Salts. I decided to go ahead and have the AstraZeneca jag which I believe like the Pfizer one doesn't include this adjuvant.

Indeed. I think the article in the 1st link I provided ("the conversation") is confusing and is actually referring to (mRNA) vaccine carriers rather than adjuvants, as detailed here

nature.com/articles/s41565-.... The AZ is not mRNA.

How was the astrazeneca jab? Have you had both doses?

Thank you

Hi Ling. Had both doses Jan / March and seem to be ok. According to Elaine Moore there are reports of increased TRAb afterwards. Eyes bothering me a bit but probably due to hayfever.

Thanks for sharing.

Ya the TRAb bit really concerns me : (
