For years, thousands of Americans who suffered debilitating side effects after getting the Covid vaccine were told there was no evidence the shot was linked.
Some were branded antivaxxers, others told their symptoms were imagined or related to other conditions, like long Covid.
On Wednesday, a team from Yale University known for their rigorous work revealed the mRNA shots can cause a previously unknown condition known as ‘post-vaccination syndrome.’
The syndrome appears to cause brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus, extreme fatigue and biological changes to patients’ immune systems.
Dr Akiko Iwasaki, the lead researcher behind the paper, told DailyMail.com she understands her findings could be seen as controversial. But she wants patients to know her team will keep studying to bring them ‘better transparency and safer vaccines.’
Dr Iwasaki told this website: ‘For patients who are suffering from post-vaccination syndrome, we want them to know that we see you, we listen, and we will keep on doing more research in this area so that this condition can be recognized, and better medical care can be provided.’
She believes her work will ‘absolutely’ be a paradigm shifting moment.
‘People with PVS have felt dismissed and ignored because PVS is not a medically recognized condition,’ Dr Iwasaki said.
‘I believe that rigorous scientific research will lead to better diagnosis, treatment and prevention of PVS. Such research will also lead to better transparency and safer vaccines.’
Dr Iwasaki and her team emphasized the results ‘are still a work in progress,’ and that it is unclear exactly how common PVS is.
But Dr Iwasaki, who is the director of the Center for Infection & Immunity at the Yale School of Medicine, said the team planned to address this question by launching larger studies.
‘We would like to expand our research to a larger cohort and validate our current findings,’ she said. ‘We need funding to carry out such future work.’
The CDC still recommends Covid vaccines, especially for those who are elderly or immunocompromised and vulnerable to the disease.
Covid is also still killing about 300 Americans every week, CDC data shows.
Following the new research, DailyMail.com spoke with dozens of Americans who report being injured from the vaccines and have expressed hope that their symptoms are being validated.
One of them was Kari Ponce de Leon, a 43-year-old mother from Montana who decided to get the Pfizer Covid vaccine in February 2021 out of a sense of duty.
However, what she thought was a good deed turned into a years-long ordeal with dangerous blood conditions that could have caused deadly bleeding.
The mother-of-two told DailyMail.com: ‘I thought that I was doing the right thing.’
She stressed that while she’s not anti-vaccine and has ‘had all the vaccines that I can,’ she does feel the government abandoned her after mandating the shot.
She said: ‘I’ve never had a problem before. I’ve had all the vaccines that I can. My kids are vaccinated. I believe in vaccines.’
Just two days after her vaccine, she noticed red spots all over her hands and an uncontrollable nose bleed.
Doctors diagnosed Mrs Ponce de Leon with a series of blood conditions that caused her immune system to block platelets.
Platelets are essential for blood to clot and for wounds to heal, so having too few could lead to uncontrolled, deadly bleeding.
After months of infusions to get her platelets back to normal, Mrs Ponce de Leon was rushed to the University of Washington in 2022.
Doctors replaced all of her plasma with donor plasma where doctors performed plasmapheresis, a procedure that removes all of the plasma from blood and replaces it with donor plasma.
Mrs Ponce de Leon has fully recovered, but doctors were unable to offer an explanation for her conditions.
One doctor wrote in a letter that her condition was likely caused by the vaccine ‘because he couldn’t find any other reason.’
In the Yale study, participants with PVS had reactivated Epstein-Barr, a contagious virus that can cause flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes and nerve issues.
It has also been shown to attack the blood and marrow, which may have explained Mrs Ponce de Leon’s sudden blood disorders.
She told DailyMail.com that while she supports vaccines, she is cautious about supporting treatments heavily touted by government authorities.
She said: ‘It’s just very frustrating with this one because I did what I thought I was supposed to do. I thought I was doing the right thing, and then the government just hangs you out to dry. It’s like gaslighting.
‘It’s demoralizing. It makes me sad that I can’t really trust the public health institutions anymore.’
Dr Iwasaki’s research is part of Yale’s LISTEN Study, an ongoing trial on post-vaccine injuries and long Covid, a mysterious condition blighting an estimated 17million Americans.
The condition manifests differently in each person, but it includes an array of symptoms from fatigue to brain fog to shortness of breath.
The cause of long Covid is poorly understood, but one of the team’s theories is that the Covid virus could be ‘hiding’ in internal organs like the gut. This would make the virus undetectable in standard nasal swabs.
Dr Iwasaki’s lab is also preparing for the possibility of future pandemics by studying bat coronaviruses that resemble Covid-19 to study how they replicate, as well as immunotherapy for cancer.

Hopefully President Trump and his Secretary for Health Robert Kennedy Jr will follow through on their promises to ban lethal mRNA injections. That will make it extremely difficult for traitors like Starmer to push them forward for their globalist masters if the biggest player the US says they’re now proven unsafe.
Covid “so called vaccine” is not a vaccine in the normal meaning of Vaccine.
Years later, and they’re still risking their careers to simply state the truth? This should be disturbing to people, but it’s not. People have accepted that truth has been thrown to the ground, and they couldn’t care less as long as they’ve got French fries, porn, and TV shows.
An interesting photo on X of a woman holding up a newspaper she’s kept since 2011. The headline shows Bill Gates and he says depopulation through forced vaccination is the most environmentally-friendly way of doing it. I guess he believes all that Zyklon B nonsense would poison him too? Six billion plus makes six million look like a pool party, but he seems to ignore such a huge number killed with toxins could release much of that into the environment if so many were cremated or buried in so short a space of time.

Ive seen those who took more than one shot, four in the case of an ex girlfriend, that got “ brain fog, dizziness, etc”, but add one more: They got stupider than they already were. Add Deep anger and memory loss. Don’t let them drive the car. Yet, i dont know anyone who has died. Unless they had a preexisting condition , or got a bad case of the flu, which did kill lots. I also beleive that being kept indoors, a full year for many, away from the sunshine, had a lot to do with their illnesses.
In just the second sentence of the piece, the author tried to slap us with the rubber dong of “long covid”. Those of us with an IQ above that of a rotting cabbage know damn well that “long covid” is festering bullshit trying to cover up for the fact that some bleating imbecile’s immune system was destroyed by the vaxxx “solution” of rat shit, Satan’s piss, and toxic sludge. Every single idiot, 100% of them, of those I ever knew or heard of who claimed they had “long covid” were dangerously stupid enough to have gotten the shot.
My girl is friends with one of those dumb-f*cks and we were just talking about it again just two days ago because the friend was boo-hooing about her struggles with “long covid”. I told my girl that I’d bet her my inheritance that her friend was stupid or cowardly enough to get vaxxxed. My girl dug back through the chick’s social media and, sure enough, she had been on there bragging a couple of years ago about getting injected, and then was terminally stupid enough to get a “booster” of that sludge.
Then there is a guy I work with who claims that “covid” killed him. The dude literally flat-lined at the hospital. Then it came out that he had been fine, but decided to get vaxxxed. Within one day, he had a massive coronary and system failure. He has been a train-wreck of health issues since. The dude still blames it on “covid” rather than the vaxxx, but I have called him on that. He’s in serious denial, but I’m not letting him get away with blaming the very adverse reaction to his stupidity on something that didn’t actually exist.
The piece vomited out, “The CDC still recommends Covid vaccines, especially for those who are elderly or immunocompromised and vulnerable to the disease.” The CDC should be burned to the ground with everyone locked inside.
Then there was this whopper, “Covid is also still killing about 300 Americans every week, CDC data shows.” Fuuuuuuuck YOU.
If its not removed from circulation soon, can we at least rename to clotshot? If ‘we’ can rebrand monkeypox to mpox… long clotshot (cshot) too! (it’s got a nice ring, even if it’s not right – fair is fair) 🙂
I’ve seen reasonable arguments that this is a limited hangout.
Yale, the home of Skull & Bones and the alma mater of many politicians.
A reknowned team of researchers we’ve never heard of before.
Dr. Akiko Iwasake, a young, female Japanese. DEI hire?
Conclusions that focus on common disabilities that have accompanied aging for millenia and now label them a syndrome. (Good news for the euthanasia pushers who need a diagnosis to justify their murders.)
My take-away is not that the jab may cause these, but that all the other, actually deadly things it causes or exacerbates, like heart attacks, are being brushed off.
And the CDC is still recommending the “vaxx”

Everyone I know. who receives regular vaccinations including mRNA, is hale & hardy. Nonetheless I decline the smorgasbord of available shots.
