This video answers three questions about Corona, the vaccine, and MS:
- Can a Corona vaccination trigger the immune system to “overreact”? – Here, a reader had problems with her MS after a Corona infection and is therefore now afraid to get vaccinated against Corona.
- Should we boost now or wait for the Omicron vaccine? – Put differently: Can you save yourself a vaccination?
- Attention, hypothesis: Is Multiple Sclerosis in relation to Epstein-Barr virus perhaps what Long Covid is in relation to the Corona virus? – This would mean that MS is a viral disease and not an autoimmune disease and that MS would be the chronic after-effects of the Epstein-Barr virus.
Prof. Mathias Mäurer answers all three questions in the video.
