(7,006 posts)Here is the thing about Autoimmune reactions. In some cases, humans don't know they have them until something is triggered. For instance, iodine. It is common for African-Americans to develop an autoimmune or allergy based reaction to iodine in shrimp or shellfish based foods - AFTER the age of 40. I personally know four close family members that did not find this out about their bodies until AFTER they ate shellfish -- in their 40's -- AFTER eating shellfish based products for decades prior without an issue.
This is what is not widely known about a rMRA vaccine. The first vaccine of its type that is not using a dead or diluted virus to develop antibodies. Specifically, how will people with Autoimmune reactions (adverse reactions) react to a rMRA Vaccine. Again, this is what Dr. Fuller was stating.
We will learn in the months ahead by the wide distribution but it could have been another way to learn it.
