href="https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.18.25322379v2">heeft vastgesteld</a> dat bij sommige mensen het spike-eiwit tot wel 709 dagen na coronavaccinatie nog in het bloed voorkomt. Voor de studie onderzochten de wetenschappers pati&#235;nten die na de vaccinatie gezondheidsklachten kregen die sterk lijken op Long COVID. Dit wordt ook wel het &#8216;postvaccinatiesyndroom&#8217; genoemd. Zij kregen na de coronaprik onder meer last van extreme vermoeidheid, slapeloosheid, zenuwpijn, oorsuizen en moeite met helder denken (&#8216;brain fog&#8217;). Ook zagen de onderzoekers heractivatie van het Epstein-Barr-virus, een &#8216;slapend&#8217; virus dat normaal door het immuunsysteem wordt onderdrukt. </p><p>De vaccins van Pfizer, Moderna en Janssen zetten lichaamscellen aan om spike-eiwit te produceren. Bij Pfizer en Moderna gebeurt dit via mRNA-instructies en bij Janssen via een aangepast adenovirus. Hierdoor ontstaat een afweerreactie. In theorie zou de aanmaak van spike-eiwit maar korte tijd moeten duren, zo is door overheidsinstanties en deskundigen geclaimd. Maar de Yale-studie trekt in twijfel of dat wel altijd zo is.</p><h2>&#8216;Spike-eiwit kan nog lang circuleren&#8217;</h2><p>&#8216;Dat spike-eiwit kan blijkbaar nog lang blijven circuleren&#8217;, reageert Jona Walk, die als arts promoveerde op vaccinontwikkeling en immuniteit, na inzage van de resultaten. Volgens Walk is er door de onderzoekers een gevoelige meettechniek gebruikt, waarmee bij een deel van de pati&#235;nten spike-eiwit wordt gevonden. Dat spike-eiwit lijkt, zo zegt ze, gelinkt te zijn aan de klachten die zij ervaren. &#8216;Het kan zijn dat het lichaam na vaccinatie nog steeds spike-eiwit blijft aanmaken, of dat het nog niet is afgebroken.&#8217; Volgens Walk is het onderzoek relatief klein en moeten de resultaten nog in een grotere studie worden bevestigd. </p><p>Hoogleraar experimentele geneeskunde Mihai Netea (Radboud UMC) noemt de aanwezigheid van het spike-eiwit &#8216;een interessante bevinding&#8217;. Volgens hem is het Yale-onderzoek &#8216;correct&#8217; uitgevoerd. Netea benadrukt dat het om een &#8216;kleine groep mensen&#8217; gaat die postvaccinatieklachten ervaart en dat dit &#8216;niet representatief&#8217; is voor de grote meerderheid van gevaccineerden.</p><p>In 2024 publiceerde bijwerkingencentrum Lareb <a href="https://www.lareb.nl/Knowledge/FilePreview?id=44810&amp;p=33576">een rapport</a> waarin staat dat in Nederland 2282 mensen melding hebben gemaakt van langdurige gezondheidsklachten na coronavaccinatie. </p><p>Dick Bijl, epidemioloog en voormalig hoofdredacteur van het <em>Geneesmiddelenbulletin</em>, noemt de studie &#8216;interessant&#8217; maar vindt deze nog &#8216;niet overtuigend&#8217;. Het bloedonderzoek werd eenmalig bij de pati&#235;nten uitgevoerd en is daarom een &#8216;momentopname&#8217;, zo zegt hij. Ook zegt Dick Bijl net als Jona Walk dat de proef, om het wetenschappelijk te bewijzen, opnieuw in een grotere groep mensen moet worden herhaald. Het relatief kleine aantal pati&#235;nten (42) maakt de studie volgens hem niet sterk. </p><p>&#8216;Dit werk bevindt zich nog in een vroeg stadium, en we moeten deze resultaten bevestigen&#8217;, <a href="https://news.yale.edu/2025/02/19/immune-markers-post-vaccination-syndrome-indicate-future-research-directions">beaamt</a> ook hoofdonderzoeker Yale-hoogleraar immunologie Akiko Iwasaki. &#8216;Dit is verre van het definitieve antwoord over het postvaccinatiesyndroom.&#8217; Toch levert het onderzoek volgens Iwasaki belangrijke aanwijzingen op: &#8216;Het was verrassend om op zo&#8217;n laat moment [na vaccinatie] nog spike-eiwit in de bloedsomloop aan te treffen&#8217;, zegt ze. &#8216;Het zou een van de mechanismen kunnen zijn die ten grondslag liggen aan dit syndroom.&#8217;</p><p><em>NRC Handelsblad</em> <a href="https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/01/23/bijwerkingencentrum-lareb-erkent-patroon-van-longcovidachtige-klachten-na-vaccinatie-oorzaak-niet-duidelijk-a4187826">beschreef eerder</a> hoe het team van Iwasaki, dat de pati&#235;nten al sinds 2022 volgt en onderzoekt, de term &#8216;postvaccinatiesyndroom&#8217; in de wetenschappelijke literatuur introduceerde. De afgelopen jaren heeft het bestaan van de aandoening onder artsen en wetenschappers <a href="https://www.science.org/content/article/rare-link-between-coronavirus-vaccines-and-long-covid-illness-starts-gain-acceptance">meer erkenning</a> gekregen. Toch wordt het nog niet officieel als bijwerking erkend door autoriteiten zoals het Europees Geneesmiddelenbureau (EMA).</p><h2>&#8216;Tijdschriften wilden geen vaccinbijwerkingen publiceren&#8217;</h2><p>De Yale-studie verscheen vorige maand <a href="https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.18.25322379v2">online</a> als zogeheten &#8216;preprint&#8217;. Het is nog niet door een wetenschappelijk tijdschrift geaccepteerd. Het Yale-team ervaart, zo blijkt, moeite om zijn onderzoek gepubliceerd te krijgen. Zo liet Yale-hoogleraar en cardioloog Harlan Krumholz, coauteur van de studie, <a href="https://www.statnews.com/2025/02/24/post-vaccine-syndrome-yale-study-covid-vaccinations-rare-complication-fuels-critics/">aan de website </a><em><a href="https://www.statnews.com/2025/02/24/post-vaccine-syndrome-yale-study-covid-vaccinations-rare-complication-fuels-critics/">Statnews</a></em><a href="https://www.statnews.com/2025/02/24/post-vaccine-syndrome-yale-study-covid-vaccinations-rare-complication-fuels-critics/"> weten</a> dat het team besloot om de resultaten nu al naar buiten te brengen, omdat onzeker is wanneer publicatie zal plaatsvinden. Krumholz liet doorschemeren dat de onderzoekers eerder hebben ervaren dat wetenschappelijke tijdschriften &#8216;geen resultaten van vaccinbijwerkingen wilden publiceren&#8217;. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hLH5!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F84a35f78-79f5-4a44-ac8d-a61f4ba0c69b_860x193.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hLH5!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F84a35f78-79f5-4a44-ac8d-a61f4ba0c69b_860x193.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hLH5!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F84a35f78-79f5-4a44-ac8d-a61f4ba0c69b_860x193.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hLH5!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F84a35f78-79f5-4a44-ac8d-a61f4ba0c69b_860x193.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hLH5!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F84a35f78-79f5-4a44-ac8d-a61f4ba0c69b_860x193.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hLH5!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F84a35f78-79f5-4a44-ac8d-a61f4ba0c69b_860x193.png" width="860" height="193" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/84a35f78-79f5-4a44-ac8d-a61f4ba0c69b_860x193.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:193,&quot;width&quot;:860,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:34820,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.vincentharmsen.nl/i/157681850?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F84a35f78-79f5-4a44-ac8d-a61f4ba0c69b_860x193.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hLH5!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F84a35f78-79f5-4a44-ac8d-a61f4ba0c69b_860x193.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hLH5!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F84a35f78-79f5-4a44-ac8d-a61f4ba0c69b_860x193.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hLH5!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F84a35f78-79f5-4a44-ac8d-a61f4ba0c69b_860x193.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hLH5!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F84a35f78-79f5-4a44-ac8d-a61f4ba0c69b_860x193.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Harlan Krumholz tegen website <em>Statnews.</em></figcaption></figure></div><p>Saillant detail is dat <a href="https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.11.09.23298266v1">een eerdere preprint</a> van het Yale-team uit 2023, een verkennende studie naar pati&#235;nten met het postvaccinatiesyndroom, ook nog niet is geaccepteerd door een wetenschappelijk tijdschrift.

Als internist in opleiding merkt ze in haar praktijk dat, vanwege het stigma, zelfs pati&#235;nten soms bang zijn om te vertellen over  bijwerkingen die ze ervaren:</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8216;Na twijfel vertelt een pati&#235;nt dan dat de klachten zijn ontstaan na coronavaccinatie. Dat is ontzettend heftig. Dan durven mensen het dus niet eens in de spreekkamer aan een arts te vertellen. Er is schaamte. Ze voegen er dan vaak nog aan toe dat ze echt geen antivaxer zijn.&#8217;</em></p></blockquote><p>Veelzeggend is ook dat, toen het KRO-NCRV-programma <em>Pointer Checkt</em> vorig jaar aandacht besteedde aan Long COVID-achtige klachten na vaccinatie, de pati&#235;nt die zij spraken, &#8216;Jordy&#8217;, alleen anoniem zijn verhaal wilde vertellen &#8216;uit angst voor negatieve reacties&#8217;. </p><div id="youtube2-WBoIrSqtuAQ" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;WBoIrSqtuAQ&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:&quot;128&quot;,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/WBoIrSqtuAQ?start=128&amp;rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><h2>Long COVID of postvaccinatiesyndroom?   </h2><p>De auteurs van de Yale-studie schrijven dat de symptomen van mensen met het postvaccinatiesyndroom sterk overeenkomen met die van long COVID-pati&#235;nten.</p><p>Het Nederlandse bijwerkingencentrum Lareb opperde in 2024 in <a href="https://www.lareb.nl/Knowledge/FilePreview?id=44810&amp;p=33576">een rapport</a> dat Long COVID-achtige klachten na coronavaccinatie om die reden mogelijk ook het gevolg zouden kunnen zijn van een &#8216;niet-gediagnosticeerde&#8217; coronabesmetting. De klachten zouden dan niet door vaccinatie zijn ontstaan, maar door een onopgemerkte corona-infectie. In het rapport noemt Lareb &#8216;een causaal verband&#8217; tussen de klachten en vaccinatie niet bewezen. </p><p>Maar kan het dan ook andersom? Kan Long COVID, omdat de symptomen zo sterk overeenkomen, misschien in sommige gevallen in werkelijkheid een bijwerking van coronavaccinatie zijn?</p><p>Een anekdote die sinds publicatie van de Yale-resultaten boven water kwam, is het verhaal van Hollywood-scriptschrijver Heidi Ferrer. Zij pleegde euthanasie na een worsteling met &#8216;Long COVID&#8217;, iets dat werd opgetekend door <em><a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2021/06/23/us/nick-guthe-heidi-ferrer-suicide-covid-long-haul/index.html">CNN</a></em>, <em><a href="https://www.newsweek.com/heidi-ferrer-long-covid-battle-before-death-screenwriter-1601898">Newsweek</a></em> en <em><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9698313/Dawsons-Creek-writer-Heidi-Ferrer-commits-suicide-COVID-battle.html">The Daily Mail</a></em>. Maar in een priv&#233;video vertelt haar man, Nick Guthe, dat haar klachten ondragelijk werden kort na het krijgen van het Moderna-vaccin, zo <a href="https://disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/yale-researchers-find-covid-spike">onthulde</a> onderzoeksjournalist Paul Thacker.</p><p>Lareb-directeur Agnes Kant zegt in een reactie dat het niet volledig is uitgesloten dat Long COVID in sommige gevallen een niet-gediagnosticeerde bijwerking van coronavaccinatie is, maar dat dit minder voor de hand ligt. Volgens Kant is nog niet zeker of mensen Long COVID-achtige klachten door vaccinatie kunnen krijgen, maar weten we al wel dat dit een gevolg kan zijn van een corona-infectie. &#8216;We weten ook nog niet of vaccinatie Long COVID-achtige klachten kan verergeren&#8217;, zegt ze. &#8216;De meeste studies laten zien dat coronavaccinatie de klachten van Long COVID niet verergert. In enkele onderzoeken leidde een coronavaccinatie zowel tot verbetering als verergering van Long COVID-klachten.&#8217;    </p><h2>Stellige uitspraken tijdens de pandemie</h2><p>Het onderzoek naar het postvaccinatiesyndroom plaatst uitspraken die tijdens de coronapandemie zijn gedaan in een nieuw licht. Zo stelden deskundigen dat coronavaccins slechts zeer korte tijd in het lichaam werkzaam zijn. Bijvoorbeeld in januari 2021, toen IC-arts en OMT-lid Diederik Gommers (Erasmus MC) <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/43i4Unmgz2hpHjhPDQxgcr">door </a><em><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/43i4Unmgz2hpHjhPDQxgcr">BNR Nieuwsradio</a></em> werd gevraagd of er een risico bestond dat het spike-eiwit nog lange tijd door het lichaam zou worden aangemaakt:</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8216;Dat kan niet, want dat RNA dat je inspuit blijft maar een paar uur in jouw cellen. Dat wordt heel snel afgebroken. Dus dat verdwijnt. (&#8230;) Het enige wat erin blijft zitten is je antistoffen en je geheugencellen. (&#8230;) Ik heb het nog nagevraagd en Pfizer zegt: dat verdwijnt heel snel uit je cellen.&#8217;</em> </p></blockquote><div class="native-audio-embed" data-component-name="AudioPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;label&quot;:null,&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;26aa636f-8d17-4405-af91-132cc8922345&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:75.676735,&quot;downloadable&quot;:false,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p>&#8216;Dit fragment is heel illustratief voor wat er misging&#8217;, reageert Jona Walk. &#8216;Wat je heel erg zag tijdens de coronapandemie, was dat mensen met een klein beetje kennis, zoals artsen met beperkte kennis over vaccins, in talkshows werden neergezet als experts op een vakgebied waarin ze eigenlijk geen deskundigen zijn. Zij herhaalden dan vaak enkel de conclusies van andere onderzoekers &#8212; veelal vanuit de industrie &#8212; zonder voldoende begrip van en aandacht voor de onzekerheden.&#8217;   </p><p>Heeft Diederik Gommers destijds het onderzoek waar Pfizer zich op baseerde zelf ingezien? In een reactie per e-mail laat Gommers weten:</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8216;Ik heb het niet meer scherp, maar volgens mij heb ik geen artikel gekregen van Pfizer maar heb ik hen en &#233;&#233;n van de virologen van ons centrum [Erasmus MC] gevraagd hoe het zat. Voor zover ik me kan herinneren, heeft Pfizer een stof toegevoegd aan het vaccin zodat het mRNA minder snel wordt afgebroken. Dat was de informatie die ik had in die tijd.&#8217;</em></p></blockquote><p>Was het niet voorbarig om zo stellig te zijn over de werking van het coronavaccin en het spike-eiwit? Gommers is het daar niet mee eens. Hij schrijft:</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8216;Door het doen van onderzoek leren we steeds meer en komen we steeds meer te weten. Dat voortschrijdend inzicht is heel belangrijk in de wetenschap en is steeds een puzzelstukje van de grote puzzel.&#8217;</em></p></blockquote><h2>Pfizer zwijgt over postvaccinatiesyndroom</h2><p>Pfizer gaat desgevraagd niet in op het standpunt van het bedrijf, destijds of nu, over de werking van het spike-eiwit. Ook blijft onbeantwoord of het Pfizer-vaccin bij sommige mensen het postvaccinatiesyndroom kan veroorzaken. Wel laat een woordvoerder per e-mail weten:</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8216;Sinds de eerste goedkeuring van de Food and Drug Administration [de Amerikaanse toezichthouder] in december 2020 zijn de Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19-vaccins toegediend aan meer dan 1,5 miljard mensen in 181 landen en gebieden in elke regio van de wereld en hebben ze een gunstig veiligheidsprofiel aangetoond in alle leeftijdsgroepen. In de loop van de pandemie en daarna hebben mRNA COVID-19-vaccins miljoenen levens gered.&#8217;</em></p></blockquote><p>Over de resultaten van het Yale-team zegt Pfizer:</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8216;Pfizer heeft kennisgenomen van deze preprint van de onderzoeksgroep van Yale. We delen de mening van de onderzoekers dat het vroege data betreft van een zeer kleine en diverse groep individuen en dat er meer onderzoek nodig is.&#8217;</em></p></blockquote><p>Een andere deskundige die tijdens de coronapandemie sprak over de werking van de coronavaccins was hoogleraar immunologie Marjolein van Egmond (Amsterdam UMC). Kort voor de start van de vaccinatiecampagne, in december 2020, ging zij in een explainervideo van de Universiteit van Nederland in op zorgen die  leefden over mogelijke langetermijnbijwerkingen. Ze zei toen:</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8216;Bij vaccins heb je eigenlijk alleen maar kortetermijnbijwerkingen. En langetermijnbijwerkingen zien we eigenlijk nooit. Dat komt omdat het vaccin maar heel kort in je lichaam zit. Het is een training voor je afweersysteem, dat direct wordt geactiveerd en daarna breekt het lichaam het vaccin af. Dat betekent dat het vaccin niet nog jarenlang in je lichaam zit waardoor er later opeens nog allerlei langetermijneffecten kunnen optreden.&#8217;  </em> </p></blockquote><div id="youtube2-nWC0loLNd4k" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;nWC0loLNd4k&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:&quot;119&quot;,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/nWC0loLNd4k?start=119&amp;rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Van Egmond besloot haar betoog met het voorbehoud dat het nooit &#8216;voor honderd procent&#8217; kan worden gegarandeerd omdat &#8216;we niet in de toekomst kunnen kijken&#8217;. </p><p>Hoe kijkt Marjolein van Egmond nu terug op haar uitspraken? In reactie op een e-mail met vragen laat Van Egmond, via een woordvoerder van het Amsterdam UMC, weten niet beschikbaar te zijn voor commentaar.</p><h2>&#8216;Wij worden als pati&#235;nten weggemoffeld&#8217;</h2><p>Bij Magdalena Dzambo (39) voelde het in augustus 2021, een etmaal na het ontvangen van haar eerste Pfizer-prik, alsof haar lichaam &#8216;onder stroom&#8217; kwam te staan. Dzambo dacht dat het &#8216;gekke maar normale bijwerkingen&#8217; van het mRNA-vaccin waren, maar haar klachten verergerden. Nu, meer dan drie&#235;nhalf jaar later, is ze &#8216;een schim&#8217; van de persoon die ze ooit was, zo zegt ze. Ze heeft last van geheugenproblemen, moeite met helder nadenken, extreme vermoeidheid, tintelende en brandende sensaties in het lichaam, hartkloppingen en steken in de hartstreek.</p><p>Dzambo vertelt dat ze aanvankelijk op onbegrip en een gebrek aan erkenning stuitte. &#8216;Bij het Erasmus MC, waar ik als eerste belandde, werd tegen mij gezegd: er is geen verband met vaccinatie. Ik dacht: hoe kun je dat nu zeggen? Het is een nieuw vaccin en je weet nu al dat er geen verband is? Het voelde als een politieke uitspraak, en niet als een medisch oordeel.&#8217;</p><p>Dzambo laat een brief van het Erasmus MC zien waarin te lezen is dat artsen van de polikliniek neurologie haar destijds adviseerden zich vooral te richten op het &#8216;leren omgaan met de klachten in plaats van op volledig herstel en zoeken naar [de] oorzaak&#8217; van de klachten.</p><p>Gevraagd naar een reactie laat een woordvoerder van het Erasmus MC weten niet in te kunnen gaan op &#8216;individuele pati&#235;ntrelaties&#8217;.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

het Maastricht UMC die in maart 2023 noteert dat ze lijdt aan &#8216;chronisch pijnsyndroom met autonome klachten&#8217;, die zijn &#8216;ontstaan na COVID-vaccinatie&#8217;. &#8216;Voor ons als pati&#235;nten is dat al een hele grote stap, zo&#8217;n erkenning dat het na vaccinatie is ontstaan&#8217;, zegt Dzambo. &#8216;Wij worden als pati&#235;nten zo erg weggemoffeld.&#8217;</p><p>Een pijnlijke ervaring is ook dat vorig jaar een foto van Dzambo, afkomstig van haar Instagram-account, in beeld komt tijdens een item van <em>RTL Nieuws</em> over desinformatie rondom vaccinaties.

postvaccinatiesyndroom krijgen en anderen niet.&#8217; </p><p>Het Yale-team heeft aangegeven het onderzoek nu in een grotere groep pati&#235;nten te willen gaan herhalen. &#8216;Het is duidelijk dat

Dat kondigde Meta-CEO Mark Zuckerberg vorige maand in <a href="https://about.fb.com/news/2025/01/meta-more-speech-fewer-mistakes/">een videoboodschap</a> aan. Volgens hem zijn de factcheckers &#8216;te politiek vooringenomen&#8217; geweest. In plaats daarvan komt er een systeem van <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Notes">community notes</a>, zoals dat ook op X bestaat. </p><p>In de Nederlandse media ging het al snel over het opportunisme van Zuckerberg, die met zijn &#8216;knieval&#8217; toch vooral toenadering tot de nieuwe Trump-regering zou zoeken. </p><p>Onderbelicht bleef echter een interessante overweging achter het besluit. Zuckerberg wil naar eigen zeggen met de stap afrekenen met &#8216;censuur&#8217; die op zijn platformen heeft plaatsgevonden. Specifiek noemde hij het debat over de coronavaccins. De Amerikaanse overheid zou grote druk op Meta hebben uitgeoefend om berichten daarover offline te halen. Volgens Zuckerberg was deze overheidsbemoeienis, omdat het gaat om de vrijheid van meningsuiting, mogelijk zelfs ongrondwettig. <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/3kDr0LcmqOHOz3mBHMdDuV">Dat vertelde hij recent in de podcast van Joe Rogan</a>. </p><p>&#8216;Ze hebben ons onder enorme druk gezet om dingen offline te halen die, eerlijk gezegd, gewoon waar waren&#8217;, aldus Zuckerberg.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder"

e-mails van Facebook die als gevolg van <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/final-report-weaponization-federal-government">een door de Republikeinen geleid onderzoek in het Amerikaanse Congres</a> openbaar zijn gemaakt. </p><p>De documenten schijnen licht op wat er tijdens de coronapandemie achter de schermen bij Facebook plaatsvond. </p><p>&#8216;We staan onder aanhoudende druk van externe belanghebbenden, waaronder het [Biden-]Witte Huis [&#8230;], om vaker inhoud die ontmoedigt het COVID-19-vaccin te nemen te verwijderen&#8217;, schrijft bijvoorbeeld een Facebookmedewerker in april 2021 in een e-mail die direct gericht is aan Mark Zuckerberg.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"
