Japanese Doctor Discovers Link Between HPV Vaccine and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

After receiving the HPV vaccination, many women have reported that they have developed chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Many researchers believe that that the condition is linked to autoimmune disease, however, until recently, the reason why some women have developed the condition post-HPV vaccination has remained a mystery. However, after years of speculation as to why some women develop this condition post-vaccination, one doctor in Japan believes that he has the answer.

Study: Adjuvants in Hepatitis B Vaccine Linked to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia

Once again, we need to look outside of the United States to find studies looking at vaccine safety. Israeli researchers from Chaim Sheba Medical Center have published a new study in the journal Immunologic Research looking at vaccine adjuvants in the hepatitis B vaccine and their association with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. The title of the study is: Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia following immunization with the hepatitis B vaccine: another angle of the 'autoimmune (auto-inflammatory) syndrome induced by adjuvants' (ASIA). The authors state: "This study suggests that in some cases CFS and FM can be temporally related to immunization, as part of ASIA syndrome. The appearance of adverse event during immunization, the presence of autoimmune susceptibility and higher titers of autoantibodies all can be suggested as risk factors."
