One month after getting Pfizer’s vaccine, children experienced a sharp decline in immune proteins, or cytokines, according to a study in Frontiers in Immunology.

Does that mean these children developed vaccine-acquired immune deficiency, or VAIDS, after they received the shots, as some reports speculated?

Dozens of cytokines participate in immunity, and many promote unhealthy or dangerous inflammation. To our knowledge, the 27-cytokine panel the researchers used to measure immune function was not validated to diagnose either immune deficiency or inflammation. It provides hints or clues but is not confirmatory…
