Reddit mentions of Vaccines and Autoimmunity

There's a very good book about autoimmunity and vaccines that is fairly easy to read: https://www.amazon.com/Vaccines-Autoimmunity-Yehuda-Shoenfeld/dp/1118663438 (also downloadable from ebook sites)

> In light of the discovery of autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants, or ASIA, Vaccines and Autoimmunity explores the role of adjuvants – specifically aluminum – in different vaccines and how they can induce diverse autoimmune clinical manifestations in genetically prone individuals.

It's a shame that vaccines have to be so vigorously defended at every turn, and you're being interrogated like some kind of criminal in this thread. They cause a whole bunch of issues that are never reported or linked to jabs.

Don’t waste time arguing. He’s a regular troll.

Yehuda Shoenfeld physician and autoimmunity researcher. With about 1,634 publications! (ResearchGate) is real impressive.

More from wiki:

> he has published more than 1920 papers. Also, he has authored and edited 40 books and contributed more than 350 chapters to various books, most recently Vaccines and Autoimmunity published by Wiley Blackwell. Prof. Shoenfeld is on the editorial board of 43 medical journals.

Listening to known quackery blogs (anyone who speaks out on the dangers of vaccines) regarding his credentials is foolish.

This book?

Assuming it's the same book, the person who contributed to this book bases a lot of their research on vaccine effects on autoimmunity on animal models, non of which have been replicated in humans:

...and in another paper whereby one of these authors makes a similar claim about MMR causing autoimmune, they cite their own book (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Vered_Molina-Hazan_molina/publication/7633403_Infection_vaccines_and_other_environmental_triggers_of_autoimmunity/links/57691c9f08aed2126c3fddde.pdf reference 53).

EVEN IF we pretend this has become medical fact, the chance of epidemics potentially killing/permanently disabling millions; I'd love to be the guy that has to explain to the population after a massive preventable bug wipes out thousands that "there was a tiny chance of an auto immune complication".

In another paper, another author of that book even acknowledges that the causality between the two is rare, even flimsy, at best:

In another paper the second author also mentions that the autoimmune complications are generally present with or without vaccination; i.e. correlation doesn't imply causation.:

Penn & Teller explain it best in this video, just add "and causes autoimmunity on to when he says autism.

edit: forgot a reference and grammar

Many problems down the line, it seems. Have you had a chance to read Vaccines and Auto-immunity? I haven't gotten around to it yet but it looks like a good resource.
