The COVID Shots are Fueling the Rise of ME/CFS Cases

By STEVE KIRSCH

It’s obvious if you look at the data. But the “experts” claim that vaccines cannot possibly cause ME/CFS. They AVOID explaining the data I’ll show you below.

Executive Summary

The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors held a special meeting today to examine the huge problem with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

It seems clear to me this is being caused by the COVID shots. This wasn’t a problem during COVID. It only became a problem after the COVID shots rolled out.

The VAERS data shows the COVID vaccines are the only vaccines causing this.

Here’s the evidence so you can decide for yourself.

The video of the hearing

Here’s the hearing video. You can start watching around 1:38:00 into the presentation to get an overview.

Comments are turned OFF.

Why would the supervisors not want to see comments from those who could not attend? Does this lead to better decision making by limiting the input to just a few people?

Background on ME/CFS

ME/CFS is an acquired, chronic, multi-systemic disease characterized by significant relapse after physical, cognitive, or emotional exertion of any sort. The disease includes immune, neurological and cognitive impairment, sleep abnormalities, and autonomic dysfunction, resulting in significant functional impairment accompanied by a pathological level of fatigue. The cause of the disease remains unknown, although in many cases symptoms may have been triggered by an infection or other prodromal event [U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, (3)].

The underlying etiology is not known. There is no readily available laboratory test to diagnose ME/CFS, no FDA-approved drug for ME/CFS, and no cure. Many ME/CFS patients experience significant disability. At least one-quarter of ME/CFS patients are house- or bedbound at some point in their lives (4, 5). The direct and indirect economic costs of ME/CFS to society have been estimated at $17 to $24 billion annually (6), including $9.1 billion attributed to lost household and labor force productivity (7).

So basically, we don’t know what causes it, or how to cure it, but for sure it isn’t caused by vaccines 😉

Survey on X shows ME/CFS is primarily caused by vaccines

Click the image to get the final stats, but it’s pretty obvious from this short survey that vaccines are the main driver of ME/CFS.

It’s astonishing to me how the experts can be so clueless; they don’t even mention the possibility that vaccines can cause ME/CFS. How can they miss the elephant in the room?

This survey took me about 15 seconds to write.

If I’m wrong, where is the “correct” survey? Have they ever asked their patients this question? What were the results?

Synopsis of the 3 hour hearing

The most relevant speaker was:

Supriya Narasimhan, MD, Chief of Infectious Diseases Division, Medical Director of Infection Prevention, and Hospital Epidemiologist at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center

At 1:42:00 she talks about stats, but only from Jan 2022, not before. Why that date? They don’t say. It would be VERY interesting to see when these cases started going up, and not just show when they started going down.

Two key points:

Most of the ME/CFS cases are NOT associated with COVID.
Cases dropped starting in 2022
She completely ignored stats before that

She attributes the drop in cases to the vaccine (and better healthcare) and she is very proud that Santa Clara is one of the most highly vaccinated counties in the US!

Since most of these cases are NOT associated with COVID, claiming that the vaccine is a major cause in the drop in cases is nonsensical, but the Supervisors don’t notice.

My favorite part is when Lisa Lahey (from VSRF) talks about the elephant in the room. Lisa points out she’s a close friend of a young mother, previously perfectly healthy, who got ME/CFS a few days after her Moderna shot! She never had COVID. She asks why we are not shown the full data (prior to 2022).

In short, the experts can’t seem to spot the elephant in the room.

The VAERS data

The COVID vaccines are the MAIN vaccines that cause CFS.

The HPV vaccine also causes ME/CFS, but to a lesser degree.

But with the COVID shots, the cases have not gotten out of control as you can see from the VAERS data below and the fact that this has never been an issue in Santa Clara County before.

There is simply no other way to explain the VAERS data below (since other vaccines were given during COVID like the flu vaccine).

Yet to my utter astonishment, none of the experts pointed out the VAERS data. How is it possible they can miss this? It took me 30 seconds to run the query.

PEI study

The Paul-Ehrlich-Institut says it’s impossible for the COVID shots to cause ME/CFS because 1) there is no safety signal and 2) there is no plausible mechanism of action.

That’s reassuring. <sarcasm off>

They don’t explain the VAERS data above at all.

CDC didn’t track this until 2021!

The CDC noticed a problem in 2021 after the COVID shots rolled out and wrote this report.

It wasn’t an issue before 2021.

Vaccine injured stats from Nurse Angela

VSRF’s Nurse Angela (a former UCSF nurse who now treats the vaccine injured full time) estimates that more than half of the COVID vaccine injured have ME/CFS caused by the COVID vaccine.

That’s a train wreck.

Yet that statistic was COMPLETELY IGNORED by every expert presenter at the meeting.

Informal survey on X validates the high rate of ME/CFS among those injured from the COVID vaccine

Nearly half the vaccine injured report ME/CFS symptoms caused by the vaccine.

If you don’t believe my survey, run your own. You’ll get a similar result. This isn’t rocket science.

My take

ME/CFS simply wasn’t an issue prior to 2021.

The expert have NO CLUE as to why this skyrocketed in 2021! Of course they have no clue because they are not allowed to consider the possibility it could have been the vaccine. They completely rule out the possibility.

What other option is there for the rapid rise? It wasn’t COVID because everyone in SCC is vaccinated. So what caused this among so many people? The only explanation that is remotely plausible is the COVID vaccine. Yet the experts completely ignore the obvious and consider it a medical mystery with no viable hypothesis as to the cause.

How come there isn’t an ME/CFS problem in places with low COVID vaccination rates? Why is this only a problem in counties with high COVID vaccination rates? I wonder what is different? Hmmmm…..

The rapid rise in ME/CFS coincided with the rollout of the COVID shots and declined thereafter.

The fact that a large percentage of COVID vaccine injured have ME/CFS should be a huge red flag. And isn’t it remarkable that the “experts” didn’t cite this statistic at all? If I’m wrong, what is the “correct” number? To simply ignore all these injuries entirely is shameful.

The experts always avoid talking about the elephant in the room. They don’t even consider the possibility that the vaccine could have fueled this.

Explanation from an expert

I reached out to Supriya Narasimhan and told her I didn’t want to spread misinformation and wanted an explanation for the VAERS data and my X survey data showing vaccines are the main driver of ME/CFS.

She didn’t respond.

Summary

None of the experts can explain why ME/CFS skyrocketed in 2021. They are baffled. And they won’t acknowledge that the peak was post-vaccine, not post-COVID.

None of the experts are even considering whether the COVID vaccine could be responsible.

Over half of the COVID vaccine injured have ME/CFS, it’s one of the most common side effects.

They will never find what they refuse to look for.
