That claim — that 100% of COVID-vaccinated people develop amyloid micro clots — is not supported by current medical evidence. It's worth being cautious about health claims that use absolute numbers like "100%," as these are rarely accurate in medicine.

That claim — that 100% of COVID-vaccinated people develop amyloid micro clots — is not supported by current medical evidence. It's worth being cautious about health claims that use absolute numbers like "100%," as these are rarely accurate in medicine.

Leading health organizations, including the American College of Cardiology and the American Society of Hematology, have reviewed the evidence and concluded that COVID-19 vaccines are safe for people with amyloidosis — including those with cardiac involvement. What is well understood about amyloidosis is that it develops through specific, well-documented pathways:

- AL amyloidosis is caused by abnormal plasma cells producing misfolded light chain proteins
- ATTR amyloidosis is linked to a misfolded transthyretin protein, either inherited or age-related
- AA amyloidosis develops from prolonged inflammation due to underlying conditions

None of these established pathways are linked to COVID-19 vaccination. It's always a good idea to discuss any concerns about vaccines or treatments directly with your amyloidosis care team, who can give guidance tailored to your specific situation.
