Dr. Mypinder Sekhon, who was leading the team in Canada and have authored the report and study told CNN that when he examine and evalutes the patient during working at Vancouver General Hospital, he finds that there must be “repeated findings across many jurisdictions” which shows link and can be considered a “definitive marker.”

The Senior author of Denmark’s Study Dr. Torben barington aslo agreed that the all the findings from the study have so much potential in scitific interest, and it can help in COVID-19 vaccine, but there are still various factors we have to look upon.
