  We derive a quantum kinetic theory for QED including both elastic and inelastic collisions. By assuming parity invariance, we find the classical limit of the kinetic theory generalizes the well-known classical kinetic theory to massive case. The resulting classical kinetic theory simplifies when fermion bare mass is much greater than thermal mass. In this case only elastic collision is relevant and screening is only needed for Coulomb scattering. As an application, we obtain an additional contribution to the shear-induced spin polarization from the collision term. We also discuss phenomenological implications of the contribution.
