Megyn Kelly has claimed she was injured by her Pfizer Covid vaccine.
On the latest episode of her podcast, the conservative commentator revealed she developed an ‘unspecified autoimmune condition’ after getting two shots and a booster.
She told Dr Aseem Malhotra, a cardiologist with ties to RFK Jr, that doctors were unable to determine which specific condition she has.
However, she claims that her doctor confirmed the condition was caused by the vaccine.
The 54-year-old told Dr Malhotra: ‘I asked the rheumatologist if it could be linked to the Pfizer vaccine and booster, and she said “Yes, and you’re not the only patient I have who’s had this sequence of events.”
‘I wish I hadn’t done it [gotten vaccinated], but I did.’
Kelly also conceded that thinking the Covid vaccine was safe was ‘the number one thing I’ve been wrong about.’
Her reveal comes after a bombshell Yale University study, mRNA Covid vaccines may have caused the previously unknown condition ‘post-vaccination syndrome’ (PVS) in some patients.
In the small study, Yale researchers found patients with previously unknown ‘post-vaccination syndrome’ show distinct biological changes.
The Yale experts told DailyMail.com that the results are ‘still a work in progress,’ and it’s unclear how common PVS may be.
The CDC still recommends the vaccines for children and adults, saying the protection against Covid still outweighs the small risk of side effects.

Experts estimate the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines have saved millions of lives globally, including 3million in the US and around 1.6million in Europe. Covid is also still killing about 300 Americans every week, CDC data shows.
Kelly did not specify her symptoms or the impact the diagnosis has had on her.
But the most common symptoms caused by the newly-identified post-vaccine syndrome (PVS) appear to be brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus and exercise intolerance, a feeling of exhaustion after limited exercise.
In these rare cases, the vaccine also appears to awaken a dormant virus known as Epstein–Barr and interfere with people’s immune systems in complicated ways still being studied.
Meanwhile, people with the post-vaccination condition had high levels of coronavirus spike proteins in their blood, years after taking the shot, which could leave their bodies in a permanent state of inflammation.
Dr Malhotra – a controversial critic of the Covid vaccine – told DailyMail.com he believes his autoimmune condition was also caused by the Pfizer vaccine.
About two and a half years after getting his second dose, Dr Malhotra was diagnosed with psoriasis, which causes red, scaly patches to form on the skin.
The condition, suffered by 7million Americans, is thought to be caused by an immune overreaction, resulting in an overgrowth of skin cells.
Psoriasis causes Dr Malhotra’s to break out into lumpy, itchy rashes, and he needs to regularly apply antibiotic ointments to keep it from flaring.
Kelly, pictured here, said tests could not find which condition she suffers from, and she did not detail her symptoms. She did tell Dr Malhotra: ‘I wish I hadn’t done it’

Dr Malhotra sought medical help from gastroenterologist Dr Sabine Hazan, whose research suggests Covid vaccines strip the body of the healthy bacterium Bifidobacterium.
Bifidobacterium is thought to boost immune cell production.
Dr Malhotra told DailyMail.com: ‘She did a microbiome test on me and discovered I had zero Bifidobacterium, one of the most important gut bacteria for health.’
However, while some case reports have detailed cases of psoriasis occurring after Covid vaccination, research is mixed, and the condition has never directly been linked to vaccines.
Research on vaccine side effects is still emerging, and CDC still recommends Covid vaccines and boosters, especially for those who are elderly or immunocompromised, as they could be more vulnerable to the disease.
