Severe Allergic Reactions post Vaccination Discussed in Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons
TUCSON, Ariz., June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Severe allergic reactions involving a cytokine storm can follow vaccination for respiratory viruses such as influenza or COVID-19, writes Irene Mavrakakis, M.D., in the summer issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons. A possible treatment is cromolyn sodium, which prevents the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators from immune cells called mast cells. It is often used in asthma. Dr. Mavrakakis presents a case history of a patient with latex allergy who experienced a severe reaction to an influenza vaccination. For years after this, she experienced frequent episodes of life-threatening anaphylaxis. Eventually these were eliminated by a strict diet, latex avoidance, and medications including cromolyn sodium. This type of reaction involves a type of serum antibody called immunoglobulin E (IgE), Dr. Mavrakakis explains. Repeated exposures to triggering allergens can lead to increased IgE responses and very severe reactions. Specific studies have demonstrated the production of IgE anti-influenza virus antibodies in the vaccinated. This raises the possibility that repeated exposure from annual vaccination could intensify allergic responses and immune reactivity, she suggests, also pointing out the paucity of evidence for the benefit of repeated shots. Implementing comprehensive immune profiling, including markers such as histamine, IgE, tryptase, and eosinophils, could help identify patients predisposed to severe inflammatory reactions, she states. She also recommends: (1) study of longitudinal changes in IgE and other immune markers in vaccinated populations; (2) evaluation of the potential for cross-reactivity between influenza and coronavirus antigens, possibly exacerbating immune responses; and (3) clinical trials to assess the effectiveness of allergy treatments, including cromolyn sodium and other mast-cell stabilizers, for managing cytokine storms related to respiratory virus vaccinations. The Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons is published by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), a national organization representing physicians in all specialties since 1943.

Budget office estimates increase of 10.9 million people without health insurance under Trump's bill
The analysis comes at a crucial moment in the legislative process as Trump is pushing Congress to have the final product on his desk to sign into law by Fourth of July. The work of the CBO, which for decades has served as the official scorekeeper of legislation in Congress, will be weighed by lawmakers and others seeking to understand the budgetary impacts of the sprawling 1,000-page plus package. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Ahead of CBO's release, the White House and Republican leaders criticized the budget office in a pre-emptive campaign designed to sow doubt in its findings. Advertisement White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said CBO has been 'historically wrong' and Senate Majority Leader John Thune said the CBO was 'flat wrong' because it underestimated the potential revenue from Trump's first round of tax breaks in 2017. The CBO last year said receipts were $1.5 trillion or 5.6% greater than predicted, in large part because of the 'burst of inflation' during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. Advertisement Leavitt also suggested that CBO's employees are biased, even though certain budget office workers face strict ethical rules — including restrictions on campaign donations and political activity — to ensure objectivity and impartiality. Alongside the costs of the bill, the CBO had previously estimated that 8.6 million people would no longer have health care and 4 million fewer would have food stamps each month due to the legislation's proposed changes to Medicaid and other programs. The bill, called the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' after the president's own catch phrase, is grinding its way through Congress, as the top priority of Republicans, who control both the House and Senate — and face stiff opposition from Democrats at every step in the process. Democrats call it Trump's 'big, ugly bill.' All told, the package seeks to extend the individual income tax breaks that had been approved in 2017, but will expire in December if Congress fails to act, while adding new ones, including no taxes on tips. It also includes a massive buildup of $350 billion for border security, deportations and national security. To help cover the lost revenue, Republicans want to slash some federal spending. They propose phasing out green energy tax breaks put in place during Democrat Joe Biden's presidency. New work requirements for some adults up to age 65 on Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, would begin in December 2026 and is expected to result in less spending on those programs. The package also would provide a $4 trillion increase to the nation's debt limit, which is now $36 trillion, to allow more borrowing. The Treasury projects the debt limit will need to be raised this summer to pay the nation's already accrued bills. Advertisement Now in its 50th year, the CBO was established by law after Congress sought to assert its control, as outlined in the constitution, over the budget process, in part by setting up the new office as an alternative to the White House's Office of Management and Budget. Staffed by some 275 economists, analysts and other employees, the CBO says it seeks to provide the Congress with objective, impartial information about budgetary and economic issues. Its current director, Phillip Swagel, a former Treasury Department official in Republican President George W. Bush's administration, was reappointed to a four-year term in 2023.
