Disclaimer: I am not anti-vax, I am simply pro-open discussion based on facts.
A study in Sweden followed 3 million women (some who received the HPV vaccine and some who didn't) for 4 years. Those who received the vaccine were 50% more likely to be diagnosed with celiac disease. And 50% of those cases were diagnosed within 1 year of receiving the first dose.
There was no increased risk of being diagnosed with any other autoimmune disease. So you can basically rule out the "Well, maybe vaccinated people get more healthcare" kind of thing. But that's exactly what the authors of the study claimed anyway. Despite the numbers, they decided that it was all a coincidence. This should alarm you. We now live in a world where hard data can be overruled by speculation, and the results of a study can be determined before it's even carried out.
Even if there isn't a causal relationship... with ANY other drug, it would be yanked off the market for further safety testing. We wouldn't take these chances.
But nope. Instead there's next to no media coverage. Young women aren't being warned of this huge, insane, life-changing risk. Celiac affects 1% of the population. If the HPV vaccine increases your risk by 50%, then 1 in 200 women who receive it will develop a disease with severe, lifelong dietary restrictions that they otherwise wouldn't have had. Every woman deserves to have the most recent, accurate information to make a balanced decision. But instead the conversation is over before it's even begun.
Here's the link if you're interested:
You can be pro-vaccine in principle - I am and nobody wants smallpox, diphteria or polio back, do we? - and still recognize that women (or children or some ethnicities with a higher risk for certain diseases or people who are not of average weight....) are not represented and studied sufficiently in medical trials, which mostly use the average man as a standard. And recognizing that this is dangerous because severe side effects may be overlooked and demanding that this should change is not being "anti-vax". It's recognizing that there may be risks for women (and other non-average groups) that are not there for the average man this medical product was tested for. What those risks are and if they are severe or negligible compared to the benefits of the vaccine (again... smallpox, diphteria, polio...I'd also include tetanus because that is a really terrible way to die) probably depends on the individual vaccine (and brand/manufacturer, country where it was manufactured...).
EDIT: Something that is also not mentioned enough is that - depending on your personal risk factors and living situation - some vaccines may more sense than others. It makes no sense to get vaccinated against tick-borne-encephalitis if you are an office worker and never spend any time walking through high grass or the forest. It may make sense if you spend every day in the forest for work and live in an area with many ticks. Same goes for the flu shot. If you are a young, healthy adult with no pre-existing conditions who is unlikely to pass it on to someone who has high chance to die if they catch it... I don't think it's a must and I personally don't get flu shots. I've never had the flu either.
It's not "anti-vax" to say that vaccines should be properly tested, people should be adequately informed about the risks compared to the benefits in their individual case and that not all vaccines make sense for all people.
Idk about this one but me and many past friends and coworkers got injured by our covid jabs. Two of them got Moderna and developed huge welts and hives all over their bodies and now they have to get a $20k allergy shot every month for the rest of their lives, they'd be screwed without health insurance.
I got menstrual problems for a while and a stomach disease called Gastritis from my J&J shot.
I'm not even anti vax but i def don't trust any mrna bullshit and thats been rushed out esp when it takes at least several years to fully research and develop a safe one.
I'm very anti vaccine. I was injured by the Anthrax vaccines I received in the Army. I will NEVER take another vaccine so help me God.
I'm not anti-vax but I refused the covid jabs and will continue to do so. Why? I no longer trust the 'science'. It was a rushed job that did not get properly tested. I wasn't okay with being a guinea pig for what amounted to a social expirement in controlling the masses through fear and guilt (but that's a whole nother thesis I could write). With all the problems being reported now I am so very glad I stood my ground and told them to fuck off with that nonsense. Too much wasn't adding up and the absolutely insane pressure they were putting on the general populace to COMPLY with no end in sight just made me think there was something else going on. What number booster are they pushing now?
I would love to trust the science, but science isn't pure anymore. It's not about finding solutions and answers, it's about pushing whoever's funding it's agenda. Yeah I'm not a doctor, but I'm not exactly dumb and I already don't trust the US medical system for fucking good reason (If you're curious get your hands on a first edition copy of E. Richard Brown's Rockefeller Medicine Men. The newer editions are CENSORED to protect the establishment). It's just another revenue generating machine.
Are Swedish people more prone to Celiac disease? It seems to be very common among Dutch people I know.
Interesting, the HPV viral mRNA in the vaccine triggered an autoimmune reaction for these women perhaps?
On the topic of vaccines, the Covid vaccine is awful and I regret getting all 3 jabs. My family skipped the vaccine because my parents are anti-vaxxers (they're big on the conspiracy theories) and then they got covid. They said they were tired for a few days, and bedridden for a night. My mother got long covid, where she was tired for a few weeks after. One of my family members tested positive and had no symptoms. A few months later I got Covid, I was in bed for a week, couldn't breathe well at certain times of the day, was coughing almost to the point of coughing up blood, it was awful. It really seemed like I got hit worse than my family did.
This made me realise vaccines are probably not all what they're cracked up to be.
I have few young friends who developed lumps in their Breast’s after the Covid vaccine. They had no issues prior at all or any signs of anything. They are in their early 30s. My other friends period got messed up, some of them are losing their hairs, my mother now is terminally ill with cancer. She had no issues again prior to that and all of us just happened within one year of taking the shot. These studies were not performed on women or kids yet the push it on them so much.
My other gf was pregnant and when she took the shot, lost her baby.
Watch “Pain Killer” on Netflix. Pharma and governments don’t have our best interests in mind.
I don’t care what people call me. There are things that were approved and shouldn’t have been.
This should have been jerked as a violation of TOS. Firstly, it adds NOTHING to female benefit. Secondly, this is 100% wrong. I never received the HPV vaccine and, guess what, I still developed celiac disease. Rather, it is a provable genetic disease affecting those with haplotype HLA-DQ2.2, 2.5, and HLA-DQ8. Thirdly, a study is not scientific fact. It is precisely that -- a study. However, my second point is scientific fact.
Sis, stop discriminating against people with chronic illnesses. The rest of you blindly agreeing with her also need to do better.
I'm not as educated about mRNA vaccines as I'd like to be, but I wonder if there's a connection between HPV and celiac disease overall? Like, would these women also have developed celiac disease if they'd contracted HPV? With some quick googling, I wasn't able to find any links between HPV and celiac overall, but I did find some evidence to suggest other viruses are linked to developing celiac disease, such as enteroviruses and reoviruses. And at least a few sources suggesting a link between gluten sensitivity and cervical cancer. Maybe the issue isn't the vaccine itself, but an underlying immune system issue that is "triggered" by exposure to certain viruses.
I'm not an expert in reading medical journal articles, but ive got a few thoughts. And fyi, I'm pro-vax. I got my hpv vax when I was a teen without any trouble.
Anyway...
The very last sentence in the paper says "our study...does not raise any safety issues or concerns." This strikes me as bad science. The fact is that they found a ~50% increase in celiac diagnoses in vaccinated women. They, of course, add a couple obligatory sentences about how more research is needed. But to say that there are "no safety concerns" at this time is a stretch.
Of the 45 possible diagnoses they looked at, they found 7 positive associations (more likely than unvaxxed to be diagnoses) and 4 negative associations (less likely to be diagnosed) that were statistically significant before sensitivity analyses. Celiac was the only diagnosis still significant after senstivity analyses.The authors conclude that the association between vax and celiac was due to patients having contact with doctors for this vaccine lead to being diagnosed with pre-existing celiac, rather than a cause and effect relationship. The authors go on to give some evidence that celiac is commonly under diagnosed, and that diagnoses after vax follow a pattern often seen with "unmasking" an existing condition.
Mwynn2000, you point out that there must be something unique about celiac because this was the only one of the diagnoses examined that showed a significant association. The information we're missing is the rates and likelihood of under-diagnosis of the other conditions that showed some association with the vax. If those other conditions are not commonly undiagnoses until contact with a doctor, then I'd say the authors' findings are pretty strong. But why didnt they explain that to us (or why didnt a reviewer ask for that in th final draft?) If any of those other conditions are commonly undiagnosed, then I'm skeptical of the authors' conclusions.
