Emily, I relayed your query to our friend said she has been wondering if she has cancer. Now she will get a full workup. Thank you.

BioNTech CEO: Seeking details on heart inflammation reports
BioNTech is seeking details of reports from Israel of cases of heart inflammation among people receiving the COVID-19 vaccine it is making with Pfizer
Thank you for your reply. I am glad it was easy for you! I am definitely struggling! I was onboard just last week, before I learned about our friend. How do you feel about the 3rd and 4th boosters? Do you feel comfortable with repeated exposures to an unknown vaccine? I wrestle with this daily and find very little information regarding the possibility of increased side effects (immune enhancement), with the exception of doctors and scientists who are opposed. So not very helpful is allying my concerns.
GardenSpider, the only experience I have with ITP after vaccination (rabies) was in a toy breed rescue dog that also was the only dog I had to have had a microchip. The other toy breed dog I had got mast cell cancer in his rabies vaccine site, but as horrible as that was and the cancers that killed two other dogs of mine, cancer was easier to deal with than the pure autoimmune disease.
I wonder if your friend had something that was activating his/her immune system prior to the vaccine. I wish we knew more about pinpointing risk factors for triggering autoimmunity because that would help us avoid this outcome after both vaccinations and natural infections.
Hi Emily and larger FT community. Thank you for your input.
Here is the redacted letter from my friends doctors regarding her condition of ITP (Idiopathic Thrombocytopinic Purpura) weeks after getting the second AstraZenca vaccine. Any ideas, thoughts are most welcome as she has taken a turn for the worse. Thank you,
Conclusions: In our two case reports, we found an association between vitamin D deficiency and immune thrombocytopenia where platelet levels responded to vitamin D treatment and hydroxychloroquine but not to prednisone. We believe there may be synergism between vitamin D supplementation and hydroxychloroquine. The mechanism by which high-dose vitamin D results in increased platelet counts in immune thrombocytopenia patients is unknown. However, vitamin D has long been thought to play an immunomodulatory role, which may include a dampened immune response in patients with immune thrombocytopenia or other autoimmune diseases.
In our practice we have observed a number of patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) whose platelet count has increased after vitamin D replacement...
