Understanding COVID Vaccine Side Effects: The 20% Immune Surge

A new study from Taiwan highlights prolonged immune activation in one in five recipients. Is this hyperimmunity?

Sometimes I feel as though I’m watching a slow-moving car crash, unsure when it will hit the wall.
It’s not because I am “anti-vax” — though I’ve been called that. It’s because, from early 2020, I’ve been trying to understand the biology of the spike protein and how, whether from infection or vaccination, it can bind to normal tissues and drive autoimmune responses.

That has been my concern from the beginning.
And each time new data emerge, I look for signs that help clarify how this story unfolds.


The Paper That Stood Out

“Reactive Axillary Lymphadenopathy Among Different COVID-19 Vaccines.”
It’s a retrospective analysis of over a thousand patients undergoing breast sonography — and it provides some of the clearest numbers yet on just how common lymph-node inflammation has been after vaccination.

The results are striking:
