Washington, DC, March 17, 2022 – Dr. Greg Poland, Director of the Mayo Clinic’s vaccine research group, told reporters last week that he developed tinnitus–ringing in the ears that can be debilitating–shortly after receiving his second COVID vaccine. According to MedPage Today, “Poland believes there may be tens of thousands of people affected in the U.S. and potentially millions worldwide. He feels strongly that more research should be done to determine what caused these symptoms and what can be done to help people desperate for relief.”
Many parents of children who regressed following routine childhood vaccinations and were later diagnosed with autism have long suspected that their children are suffering from tinnitus. Some researchers believe that neuroinflammation may be behind tinnitus reports in some COVID-19 vaccine recipients. Inflammatory biomarkers and neuroinflammation are also suspected in regressive autism patients.
