Several large studies show the link between the HPV vaccine and the risk of developing serious autoimmune, brain and hematological diseases
Several studies presented by The Epoch Times demonstrate the correlation between the administration of the HPV vaccine and the risk of developing serious autoimmune, brain and hematological conditions.

Thus, a study published in March 2024, cited by The Epoch Times , shows that the quadrivalent vaccine against human papillomavirus (qHPV) can increase the risk of developing several autoimmune diseases.
The retrospective cohort study published March 7 in Vaccine, titled “Evaluation of the Safety Profile of the Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus Vaccine on the Risk of Developing Autoimmune, Neurologic, and Hematologic Diseases in Colombian Adolescent Girls,” found that adolescent women who were vaccinated had a 4.4 times greater risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis than those who were not vaccinated. Similarly, vaccinated adolescent girls had a 2.76 times greater risk of developing juvenile idiopathic arthritis.The study found that women who received the qHPV vaccine had a 2.86 times greater risk of developing thyrotoxicosis (a condition characterized by an excess of thyroid hormones in the body resulting from an overactive thyroid gland), while the risk of developing idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) was 2.54 times higher in the vaccinated group. Thyrotoxicosis causes inappropriately high levels of circulating thyroid hormone, and ITP is a blood disorder characterized by an abnormal decrease in platelets.
According to another study reported by The Epoch Times, HPV vaccination can trigger rare, often misdiagnosed autoimmune brain diseases.
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) antibody encephalitis has been linked to several vaccines, including HPV and COVID-19 vaccines.
New research shows that the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine can trigger a rare autoimmune brain disorder that causes psychiatric or neurological symptoms after vaccination and is easily mistaken for psychosis in its early stages.
The study, titled “Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, human papillomavirus, and microRNA,” published in Current Medicinal Chemistry in February 2024, identified a possible relationship between anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antibody encephalitis and HPV vaccination.
Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is an acute autoimmune disorder in which the body creates antibodies against N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in the brain. NMDA is a receptor for the amino acid glutamate. Glutamate is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter released by nerve cells in the brain and plays a crucial role in learning and memory formation.
When anti-NMDA antibodies attack the brain, they disrupt normal brain signaling, causing swelling – or encephalitis – and a range of neuropsychiatric symptoms , such as hallucinations, cognitive impairment, paranoia, aggression, epilepsy, movement disorders, impaired consciousness and speech disorders. Often these symptoms cause the illness to be misdiagnosed as the early stages of psychosis.
Also, in an article titled ” Concerns Over Increase in Neurological and Autoimmune Disorders After HPV Vaccines: Large Studies ,” The Epoch Times presents several studies, which we highlight below:
A Danish study involving 79,102 female and 16,568 male subjects found that HPV vaccines significantly increased rates of serious nervous system disorders. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) have been considered “definitely associated” with the HPV vaccine.
Also, a large Danish and Swedish study , which included nearly 300,000 girls, found a significant association between the HPV vaccine and increased rates of Bechet’s syndrome (ratio 3.37), Raynaud’s disease (1.67), and diabetes type 1 (1.29).
A second large study , which included 3 million Danish and Swedish women between the ages of 18 and 44, identified seven adverse events with statistically significantly increased risks following HPV vaccination: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, celiac disease, lupus erythematosus, pemphigus vulgaris, Addison’s disease, Raynaud’s disease and encephalitis, myelitis or encephalomyelitis.
Also cited is a 2017 French study involving more than 2.2 million young girls, which found evidence of a 3.78-fold increased risk of developing Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Also, a 2011 US study found a nearly two and a half to 10 times higher risk of developing GBS within six weeks of being vaccinated with Gardasil.
Although the mechanisms underlying these autoimmune reactions are not yet fully understood, some researchers note that the considerable overlap of protein sequences between HPV and the human genome can cause the immune system to attack itself. Other scientists are also concerned that adjuvants (such as aluminum) used to activate the immune system may have harmful effects.
