Dear Reader,

Happy Monday. The incidence rate of childhood Type 1 diabetes has risen since the pandemic, and COVID-19 vaccine myocarditis is more common than we thought.

A recent JAMA study showed that Type 1 diabetes in children increased in 2020, with an additional rise in 2021.

Doctors are asking if COVID-19 vaccines are involved in the 2021 increase.

While study authors did not address this possibility, doctors like critical care specialist Dr. Paul Marik and Brazilian endocrinologist Dr. Flavio Cadegiani are suspicious of mRNA vaccine involvement.

One might find a Type 1 diabetes increase in 2020 and 2021 hardly surprising, given that widespread lockdowns contribute to a more sedentary lifestyle, increased junk food consumption, obesity, and so on.

However, that assumption is a mistake of conflating Type 2 diabetes with Type 1.

While the two diseases share the name diabetes mellitus and similar symptoms, they are triggered by completely different things, board-certified internist Dr. Keith Berkowitz tells The Epoch Times.

Type 2 diabetes is a disease of lifestyle.

It can be driven by sugar consumption, obesity, insulin resistance, and all the other metabolic risk factors.

Type 1 diabetes, however, is of autoimmune origin. With Type 1, the body mistakes its pancreatic beta cells, which act as insulin factories, as something foreign and attacks them.
Apart from genetic predispositions, viral infections and vaccinations are common triggers for autoimmune diseases.

COVID-19 vaccines may be no exception, Dr. Marik suggests.

He cites several case reports on patients who developed Type 1 diabetes following either COVID-19 infection or COVID-19 vaccination.

The COVID-19 spike proteins that present on the viral surface and that are produced by the body after vaccination are likely causing autoimmunity, Drs. Marik and Cadegiani say.

1. Pancreatic cells can be infected by spike proteins and die.

2. Spike proteins are structurally similar to pancreatic proteins, so a crossfire of immune attacks against spike proteins may lead to pancreatic damage. 

However, there may still be hope.

Dr. Cadegiani and Dr. Berkowitz shared with The Epoch Times treatments and therapies they recommend to patients at risk of diabetes after COVID infection and vaccination.
