Research on COVID 19 vax causing Essential Thrombocythemia?

I have E.T. - CalR mutation. Here’s the timeline of my Covid vaccines and my diagnosis:

- Pfizer Covid vac #1 on 3/16/21
- Pfizer Covid vac #2 on 4/13/21
- Pfizer Covid booster on 12/16/21
- Diagnosed w/E.T. on 1/26/22
with platelet count of 922,000

I find it hard to believe that this is a coincidence.
I think a huge problem with all of this is that it doesn’t seem like the physicians have to report this kind of “coincidence “ anywhere.

Hi @kbc. It’s understandable how some events can feel more than coincidental. From my research over the years, in the case of Covid vaccinations, there a few documented cases of people who developed thrombocytopenia, a decrease in platelet production. This can also happen with the measles, mumps and rubella vaccination.

The Covid vaccination hasn’t been shown to cause any genetic mutations such JAK2 or CALR which can lead to changes in blood production with disorder of the bone marrow called Myeloproliferative disorders or Myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Clearly your numbers after the vaccination are higher. Do you have a baseline of your platelet count prior to vaccinations?
