Yes, you're right about an auto immune being an overactive immune system.
In Jan of 2021 my husband had some major health issues going on. He was hospitalized several times. The docs could not figure out what what casuing his issues. He had EVERY test done under-the-sun. One of the their conclusions was that he had an idiopathic autoimmune disease. In other words, they had no idea what he had.
So, I looked up everything I could about auto immunes diseases to try and keep my husband healthy. WEB MD popped up first and said to be sure to get ALL your vaccines. That didn't make sense to me. If my son had a suppressed immune system and the introduction of a vaccine would harm him, then why would you give someone with an overactive immune system a vaccine and make their system over-react and wreak havoc in their body? I delved deeper in my research. I came upon several well known university websites and they all said to STOP taking any vaccine if you have an autoimmune issue.
Well, when I went with my husband to his follow up visit, his doctor immediately said he should get the jab!!! Since my husband was 62 yrs old and the cut-off in FL was 64 at that time to get the jab, his doctor said he could write an authorization for my husband to get the jab because of his health issues. I then asked the doctor, "Is that advisable because my husband has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease?" The doctor sat back.... scratched his chin.... thought for a moment and then said, "You have a valid point and he should wait." I had a valid point?!? He's the one with the medical degree!!!! He's a good doctor and has helped my husband otherwise, but he still recommends my husband get the jab.
As a side note.... last Feb, my one son's whole family caught covid and we had been with them just prior to that. My other son, who had been visiting and staying with us at the time, caught it as well as myself. My husband never caught it.
Isn’t auto immune an overactive I
Immune system?? So why does it need priming. SMH

Thank goodness you did the research.
