I find this interesting. How can we then know the accuracy of the liver shunt statistics commonly mentioned? This comment and some other articles I have read make me wonder if some of the cases of 'mild liver shunt' are not actually reactions to vaccines. No one is going to be performing many autopsies on mild/moderate cases (bc they often live long lives anyway, particularly with diet modifications) so we really have no way of knowing if it is actually liver shunt or something else.
