The sad news that Celine Dion had to cancel shows because she is suffering from\u00a0Stiff Person Syndrome<\/a>\u00a0has some people conjecturing that vaccines did it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Its cause is unknown, but there seems to be a\u00a0mechanism<\/a>\u00a0by which the immune system attacks a specific protein resulting in motor neuron dysfunction.<\/p>\n

We have\u00a0no reason<\/a>\u00a0to believe that the COVID vaccine caused this in Celine Dion, any more than anything else she\u2019s experienced. SPS seems to\u00a0affect<\/a>\u00a01-2 people in a million people, and the rates do not appear to be increasing since the covid vaccine was introduced. This is another example of people jumping to conclusions without evidence.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

There is no evidence linking Celine Dion’s Stiff Person Syndrome to the COVID vaccine.
