You can read the full story of how this little project began here. It started when I began to notice a growing number of posts like the ones featured below on my Reddit feed.

For 4 years now, I've been collecting screenshots from across Reddit of vaccine side effects. I kept my focus on individuals under 40, who were previously healthy and suddenly sick over the last two years.

As I came across conditions in publications on PubMed, I followed any related subreddits, eventually following over 80 medical and diagnosis subs.

I began searching the subs for keywords and phrases like "vax", "vaccine", "booster", "Pfizer", "Moderna", "shot", etc, and started creating a database of adverse vaccine events by symptom. Like a VAERS database, but for Reddit.

But there were also hundreds of posts describing the exact same sudden onset in previously healthy, young individuals experiencing the exact same symptoms as the individuals who stated their troubles all began after getting the vaccine.

So instead of making any assumptions, I decided to reach out and ask. I was able to message 2390 Reddit users before all of my accounts got blocked.

I got responses from 1422 individuals. Out of those 1422 responses, only 117 said that they had not received the vaccine.

Chronic Fatigue and Dysautonomia following COVID-19 Vaccination Is Distinguished from Normal Vaccination Response by Altered Blood Markers
SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination can entail chronic fatigue/dysautonomia tentatively termed post-acute COVID-19 vaccination syndrome (PACVS). We explored receptor autoantibodies and interleukin-6 (IL-6) as somatic correlates of PACVS. Blood markers determined before and six months after first-time SARS-CoV-2 vaccination of healthy controls (N = 89; 71 females; mean/median age: 39/49 years) were compared with corresponding values of PACVS-affected persons (N = 191; 159 females; mean/median age: 40/39 years) exhibiting chronic fatigue/dysautonomia (≥three symptoms for ≥five months after the last SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination) not due to SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or confounding diseases/medications. Normal vaccination response encompassed decreases in 11 receptor antibodies (by 25–50%, p < 0.0001), increases in two receptor antibodies (by 15–25%, p < 0.0001) and normal IL-6. In PACVS, serological vaccination–response appeared significantly (p < 0.0001) altered, allowing discrimination from normal post-vaccination state (sensitivity = 90%, p < 0.0001) by increased Angiotensin II type 1 receptor antibodies (cut-off ≤ 10.7 U/mL, ROC-AUC = 0.824 ± 0.027), decreased alpha-2B adrenergic receptor antibodies (cut-off ≥ 25.2 U/mL, ROC-AUC = 0.828 ± 0.025) and increased IL-6 (cut-off ≤ 2.3 pg/mL, ROC-AUC = 0.850 ± 0.022). PACVS is thus indicated as a somatic syndrome delineated/detectable by diagnostic blood markers.
