The Looming Disaster of Underestimating Covid Autoimmunity
The evidence is becoming incontrovertible
Our research has highlighted from early 2020 that severe COVID-19 was a viral mediated autoimmune disease. The last 3 years has been about raising awareness as it has direct implications for therapy and longer term disease risk from infection and vaccination.

Results
In total, 641,704 patients with COVID-19 were included. Comparing the incidence rates in the COVID-19 (IR=15.05, 95% CI: 14.69–15.42) and matched control groups (IR=10.55, 95% CI: 10.25–10.86), we found a 42.63% higher likelihood of acquiring autoimmunity for patients who had suffered from COVID-19. This estimate was similar for common autoimmune diseases, such as Hashimoto thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, or Sjögren syndrome.
The autoimmunity hypothesis is supported by a body of evidence linking viral infections to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases as well as results from recent clinical and basic research demonstrating persisting autoantibodies and serological autoreactivity following SARS-CoV-2 infection in a subset of patients.

The Looming Disaster of Underestimating Covid Autoimmunity
Dr Philip, in your opinion how would you rank the level of danger: Covid, mRNA jabs, viral vector jabs?
The IgG4 class switch worries me, because there was a study showing it happened to everybody whose first exposure to the spike was through an mRNA vaccine. There were billions of people vaccinated with the mRNA vaccines before they had been infected. Most of my family and friends fit that case. Supposedly there is a lot of COVID circulating, so I assume affected people may have high levels of IgG4 antibodies produced repeatedly and develop the IgG4 related diseases.
The wikipedia article on IgG4 related diseases mentioned autoimmunity. Obviously I don't understand these things, but it worries me.
EDIT: Another concern is the possibility that autoimmunity might stimulate the production of IgG4 antibodies constantly.
