Megyn Kelly recently revealed that she has been privately dealing with a long-term health issue, which she believes may have started after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination.
Kelly said the troubling diagnosis from her doctor came after her final COVID-19 shot in 2020, along with subsequent virus strains. While she didn’t specify the exact condition, she described the autoimmune-related symptoms as “f***ing annoying.”
“I just had my annual physical, and it’s still testing positive for autoimmune,” Kelly, 54, said in a new interview. “I really, really regret having gotten the vaccine. Felt like I was fighting for my life.”
Kelly, a top-rated SiriusXM podcaster and founder of the newly launched MK Media podcast network, shared that she received two doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in 2020, followed by a booster shot on her doctor’s recommendation.
Kelly described living in New York City during that time as extremely challenging, noting that lockdown restrictions effectively excluded the unvaccinated from participating in everyday life. She recalled knowing individuals who went to great lengths to obtain fake vaccination cards to get around the mandates.
“You could get the fake cards, but it was hard. I didn’t know how to do it,” she told DailyMail.com. “So, I trusted my doctors and I did it.”
In last week’s interview, Kelly expanded on a revelation she first made in a February episode, where she disclosed testing positive for an unspecified autoimmune condition. She said her rheumatologist speculated that the disorder may have been triggered by one or more of her three COVID-19 vaccine doses, followed by a subsequent infection.
“I said [to the rheumatologist], ‘Could it be that I had the third shot – and then within a month of it, got the Omicron version,’” Kelly recalled. “And she said, ‘yes.’”
“It’s an unfortunate thing. You can’t undo the past,” she noted while also pointing out that other people have experienced “worse” outcomes than hers. “But we were lied to,” Kelly added, alluding to alleged deception by then-lead U.S. immunologist Dr. Anthony Fauci and other U.S. health experts. “It was not an informed assumption of the risk.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has since documented several serious side effects—affecting a small percentage of vaccine recipients—including myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), pericarditis (inflammation of the heart lining), and Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare autoimmune nerve disorder.
While COVID-19 vaccines are widely credited with saving millions of lives during the once-in-a-century pandemic, a growing number of medical advocates and affected individuals have criticized governments and vaccine manufacturers for minimizing—or in some cases, actively suppressing—public discussion about potential side effects.
Ongoing research at Yale University is investigating potential links between COVID-19 vaccinations and conditions such as exercise intolerance, insomnia, brain fog, and dizziness. Referred to as “post-vaccination syndrome” or PVS, researchers suggest the symptoms may, in some cases, contribute to autoimmunity or long-term tissue damage.
“There’s no question people have been hurt and even killed,” Kelly told DailyMail.com. “I, for one, have learned a ton, but remain pissed off about how the whole thing was handled.”
Late last month, Kelly said during her radio show that she believes U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts could be on the “thinnest of possible ice” depending on how he rules regarding President Donald Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to quickly deport illegal migrant gang members.
After a lower court judge ruled Trump’s use of the centuries-old law was improper — a decision upheld by a federal appellate court on Thursday — the administration filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court. Kelly indicated on her SiriusXM program that Roberts may be the one Republican-appointed judge who would side against the president.
“John Roberts, above all, knows if he hands down a ruling telling the commander-in-chief that the nine men and women in black robes have the final say over what is perceived as a military threat unleashed on us by a foreign government, he’s on the thinnest of possible ice,” the host said. “He’s so obsessed with the court. I just can’t see him wanting to do it.”
