Day 663: MIS-V

A ponderously-titled case report in Vaccines, Autoantibody Release in Children after Corona Virus mRNA Vaccination: A Risk Factor of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome?, recounts the difficulties in identifying and treating multisystem inflammatory syndrome in a Pfizer-vaccinated, COVID-negative 18-year-old, partly because MIS can occur up to 12 weeks after infection (or in this case, injection).

Interestingly, they note that multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) is a known side-effect of COVID vaccines and abbreviate it MIS-V, multisystem inflammatory syndrome after vaccination, following an earlier case study. They postulate a mechanism, "elevated functional autoantibodies against G-protein-coupled receptors", and casually note the negligible mortality rates of COVID in pediatric patients, as opposed to the real risks of MIS-V.

They cite the only previous case study in children, a healthy 17-year-old from Denmark; the EU report on it mentions that MIS-C occurs naturally at a rate of 2–6 per 100,000, and MIS-A at less than 2 in 100,000. For the record, VAERS is now up to 54 cases of MIS-V ever, with two from other vaccines and two bad entries with no vax listed that are still clearly about COVID. (The new one is about a 15-year-old.) Nine cases are clearly in adults, while the rest are under 30 and may or may not be MIS-C, as the cutoff for pediatric cases is 20 but VAERS groups 18–29 together.

On another topic, one of the known side-effects of lying to and gaslighting people is named "confession by projection". You can see it in action by rereading this hit piece on Alex Berenson that The Atlantic ran in April, and observing who was really spouting the "half-truths, untruths, and obfuscations." (You'd think the CDC would admit to at least one vaccine death, if only to get people to stop quoting their unbelievable zero deaths.)

P.S. Masssachusetts cases were up four elevenths of a percentage point today.
