‘Alarming’ Sevenfold Increase in Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Linked to COVID-19 and Vaccine

Published

on

According to a large case series recently published in Burns, a sudden rise in Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), a rare and potentially fatal skin disorder, may be brought on by COVID-19, higher vaccination rates, or a lowered threshold brought on by vaccines or prior infections.

Prior to COVID-19, researchers at Concord Repatriation General Hospital in Australia observed two to four cases of SJS, also known as toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), annually. The same burn center saw a sevenfold increase in cases just in the first half of 2022.

Three of the 14 patients had received a COVID-19 vaccination a month prior, and five of the 14 patients had COVID-19 a month prior to developing SJS/TEN. There have been zero cases of SJS/TEN in unvaccinated people.

The rarity of the condition and the existence of drugs known to cause the disease make the connection difficult to demonstrate, but the researchers called the sharp increase in cases since the start of the pandemic and the introduction of the vaccine “alarming.”

A severe hypersensitivity condition known as SJS/TEN causes the skin to develop rashes, blisters, and peels, giving the appearance of a severe hot water burn. Sepsis, pneumonia, infection, or death can result from mucous membranes, including those in the mouth, eyes, and genitalia.

Although SJS and TEN were once thought to be distinct illnesses, they are now considered to be symptoms of the same disease, with SJS being the less severe form and TEN being the most severe.

Medications, including epilepsy medicines, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory painkillers, are the chief cause of SJS/TEN, but certain viruses and vaccines can also cause the condition. Due to its potentially fatal nature, SJS/TEN is considered a medical emergency, and patients are treated in burn units.

Researchers’ 3 Theories for Sudden Rise in SJS/TEN Cases

The researchers proposed three theories for the sudden increase in SJS/TEN cases.

Virus-Induced

According to the first hypothesis, the SARS-CoV-2 virus may cause SJS/TEN by physically attaching to receptors that cause a T-cell-mediated response. Herpes simplex, Epstein-Barr, and influenza viruses are some of the other viruses that have been linked to SJS/TEN.

Vaccine-Induced

The second theory, COVID-19 vaccines may directly bind to the cell receptors that cause SJS/TEN and have an impact on the body’s T-cell immune response that causes SJS/TEN. This T-cell response peaked seven and 28 days after vaccination, which is in line with the cases that were actually seen.

Two patients had received an mRNA vaccine, and one had received a viral vector vaccine, within a month of developing SJS/TEN in the study’s three cases that were linked to vaccination. Eight additional cases of SJS after COVID-19 vaccination were discovered by researchers in the published literature; four of these cases were connected to mRNA vaccines, three to viral vector vaccines made by companies like AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson, and one to a whole virus vaccine.

According to the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), 198 cases of SJS/TEN following COVID-19 vaccination were reported between Dec. 14, 2019, and June 23, 2023. Historically, VAERS has been shown to report fewer than 1 percent of actual vaccine adverse events, which means other cases of SJS/TEN may have occurred but were unreported.

Threshold Lowering

According to the authors’ third hypothesis, getting COVID-19 or getting vaccinated “primes” the immune system and lowers the threshold at which a drug will cause SJS/TEN. As shown in each of the following instances, the drug would not otherwise result in the condition without this “priming”:

  • A 26-year-old male received two previous doses of a viral vector vaccine and one mRNA vaccine dose. After experiencing vaccine-associated symptoms, he took paracetamol and ibuprofen and developed SJS. He had previously taken both medications with no adverse effects.
  • A 60-year-old female had COVID-19 six weeks before the onset of SJS/TEN. During that time, she received allopurinol for gout and experienced a reaction, despite taking the drug in the past with no ill effect. The woman had received two doses of an mRNA vaccine.
  • A 45-year-old male developed a reaction to a seizure prophylaxis drug. He was diagnosed with COVID-19 four weeks before developing SJS/TEN and was triple vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine.
  • A 53-year-old female received a viral vector vaccine three weeks before the onset of SJS/TEN. She was quadruple vaccinated with viral vector and mRNA vaccines and reacted to medications received for a life-threatening scleroderma complication.

The potential connection between SJS/TEN and COVID-19 vaccines has not been acknowledged by regulatory bodies in the US or abroad, nor have they looked into how the virus or vaccine can prime the immune system.The authors of the study recommend further investigation into the effects that viruses like SARS-CoV-2 have on immune-mediated diseases like SJS/TEN.

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer is set to testify in Kari Lake’s lawsuit to investigate fraudulent mail-in ballot signatures.

Kari Lake’s trial in her lawsuit against Maricopa County is set to take place on September 25 and 26. Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer has been subpoenaed to testify and defend Maricopa County’s mail-in ballot procedures and their refusal to be transparent. The Recorder oversees mail-in voting operations, which were manipulated to steal the election from Lake. The trial will be held at 101 West Jefferson St., Phoenix, AZ 85003, in Courtroom 811 at 9:00am PT.

Lake has been fighting against the rigged 2022 election and her lawsuit for public 2022 voter signature records. This evidence will undoubtedly prove the election was rigged in Lake’s upcoming Appeals Court battle. Maricopa County contends that these records contain sensitive information, so they refuse to be transparent with elections. A ruling in a separate Yavapai County Court case confirmed that Maricopa County has been incorrectly defining “voter registration record” and unlawfully verifying mail-in ballot signatures.

The new Yavapai County Court ruling will require only voter registration forms to be used for signature verification, as opposed to previously accepted fraudulent mail-in ballots and other signature forms. Under the Arizona Elections Procedures Manual, when a signature is accepted on a mail-in ballot envelope or a voter uses an in-person polling place touch screen signature log, it is added to the voter’s “registration record” for future reference. Many voters were seen with similar affidavit signatures in consecutive elections that do not match other signatures on their voter registrations or past affidavits.

Arizona election integrity nonprofit We The People AZ Alliance was also in court for oral arguments in their public records lawsuit against Runbeck Election Services in Phoenix and Maricopa County. The Judge indicated he would issue a written ruling on Runbeck and Maricopa County’s Motion to Dismiss “shortly.”

The Gateway Pundit inspected hundreds of illegally verified 2022 mail-in ballot signatures and corresponding voter registration records in Maricopa County through a public records request and reported on the clear fraud involved. Stephen Richer, the Republican responsible for verifying these mail-in ballot signatures, will testify on the stand at trial and attempt to prevent Lake from accessing evidence of a fraudulent election.

New Study Finds Trace Amounts of mRNA in Vaccinated Mothers’ Breastmilk

Published

A recently published peer-reviewed research study has raised significant concerns about breastmilk of vaccinated mothers being contaminated with mRNA.

The research, recently published in the prestigious Lancet medical journal, reveals that the administration of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to nursing women might result in the systematic transmission of the vaccine components to breast milk.

Researchers from New York University Grossman Long Island School of Medicine have found that breast milk was contaminated with mRNA up to 45 hours after vaccination in ten women they analyzed. This contradicts the official narrative from government agencies, politicians, and corporate media who believed mRNA was safe for breastfeeding mothers and their infants. Officials have insisted that mRNA shots do not travel throughout the body, but the study suggests that the COVID-19 vaccine mRNA administered to lactating mothers can spread systematically to breast milk in the first two days after maternal vaccination. The study’s peer-reviewed paper was published in the October 2023 edition of the Lancet.

This is not the first study to make these findings, with traces of mRNA found in women’s breast milk in 2022. The authors of the Lancet paper continue to promote the vaccination of breastfeeding mothers, claiming that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines play a vital role in the fight against SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, they do not explain why mothers should take such a risk to be vaccinated against a virus with only mild symptoms.

The significance of this research extends beyond the scope of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, providing valuable insights into the transport and presence of vaccine mRNA in breast milk, which can be relevant for assessing the safety and efficacy of future mRNA-based therapies administered to lactating women.

US presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy criticizes DOJ and FBI for sentencing Infowars host Owen Shroyer to 60 days in prison, threatening to use his presidency to pardon non-violent Jan 6 protesters and political prisoners.

“Yesterday a man by the name of Owen Shroyer was sentenced to prison for *speech*, not violence, on Jan 6 – for marching around the Capitol, using a bull horn, & shouting things like ‘1776!’ No violence. Didn’t enter the Capitol. That’s it,” said

 Ramaswamy Wednesday on X. “I don’t know the guy & I have no idea if he’s a ‘good person’ or not, but that’s not what our justice system is supposed to determine.”

The Republican presidential candidate announced plans to pardon non-violent Jan 6 protesters and political prisoners, citing the FBI’s ‘evidence’ used in their pursuit. He also announced a live-stream of a detailed plan to shut down the FBI and other federal agencies.
