Autoimmune Disorders and The Politics of Evaluating Covid-19 Vaccine Harm. An interview with Claudia Chaufan, MD, PhD
Who Decides What Counts As Evidence?
In 109 studies in 2022 regarding the relationship between the Covid Vaccine and Autoimmune Disorders “Nearly 60% of the studies reported relapses or flares, and approximately one-quarter documented new-onset conditions in individuals with no prior history of autoimmunity.”

Interview Summary – By Claudia Chaufan, MD, PhD
This interview presents the work of Claudia Chaufan, MD, PhD, a health policy scholar, professor, and non-practicing physician. Her research examines how medical evidence is produced, interpreted, and governed, and how issues of human significance come to be framed within medical jurisdiction, including the extension of medical and psychological labels to define and manage dissent in ways that shape policy compliance and institutional legitimacy. Her interest in the relationship between Covid-19 vaccination and autoimmune disorders emerged from a broader concern with how large-scale policy responses – including lockdowns, mandates, and mass vaccination – were justified and normalized, with limited space for critical scrutiny of their evidentiary basis.
To explore how potential harms were being assessed, Chaufan and her team conducted a scoping review of 109 studies published in 2022 on Covid-19 vaccination and six autoimmune conditions. The review identified three recurring patterns: relapses or flares in individuals with pre-existing autoimmune disease, new autoimmune conditions in those already affected, and new-onset autoimmune disorders in previously healthy individuals. Nearly 60% of studies reported relapses or flares, and approximately one-quarter documented new-onset conditions in individuals with no prior history of autoimmunity.

CHINA BEFORE COMMUNISM – FALUN DAFA – SHEN YUN – TRUTHFULLNESS – COMPASSION – FOREBEARANCE – Shen Yun 2026, California. “5,000 Years of Civilization Reborn Shen Yun is a brilliant artistic revival and celebration of China’s rich cultural heritage. But after decades of communist rule, much of this divinely inspired culture has been lost. Now, ancient legends and timeless virtues come alive on stage, preserving the essence of a civilization that has endured for millennia. With every performance, Shen Yun conveys the extraordinary depth and breadth of genuine Chinese culture, bringing the magnificence of 5,000 years of civilization vividly back to life.”
Kirk’s Comments: I go every year to a performance in Sacramento, California. Yes the dancers are amazing. It is an American-based company based in New York of mostly Chinese artists many of whom are Falun Gong Practitioners. The show is performed in 20 countries and 200 cities yearly was viewed by a million people in 2026 showing over 5000 years of Chinese Culture before Communism. These performers cannot return to Communist China for fear of persecution and imprisonment for their faith and and tens of thousands (Falun Gong) have been “used” for “Live Organ Harvesting” and the billion dollar on-demand organ transplantation business in China.

Stage four pancreatic cancer had spread to his lymph nodes and liver, and doctors were clear- stabilization was the best outcome he could hope for. With limited time and undergoing chemotherapy, Mark fully committed to change. Having never meditated before, he and his wife meditated twice a day, every day, focusing on Blessing of the Energy Centers. Two weeks after a powerful meditation experience, a scheduled PET scan showed something no one expected – no tumor in his pancreas. Two years later, Mark continues to receive clear scans. As he says, “I didn’t cure cancer. I became somebody who no longer has it.”…” Continue reading Meditation “Cures” Pancreatic Cancer, Self-Love For Healing, Carnivore Diet Thoughts, Herbs for Pain and More…
