Thank you for the links! Here’s a review about autoimmunity in COVID-19: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S089684112...

> There is a study[0] showing cross-reactivity between SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and other human tissues, thus predisposing the host to autoimmune diseases. This should apply even more so to any vaccine since vaccines produce a more robust immune response.

Since the antibody tested in the study was a commercial, monoclonal one, this is somewhat hard to assess. But I think you’re right given what they found in the blood tests.

> This does not really shine a light on pre-disposition to an autoimmune disease 6-9-12 mo down the road.

Autoimmune reactions should happen in the short run, right?
