It was supposed that the spike protein--which the vaccines induce your body to produce--was itself harmless, and would stay in or near the site of injection (the deltoid muscle). It turns out--as detailed by scientists at UC San Diego and the Salk Institute in a report that "shows conclusively that COVID-19 is a vascular disease"--that "the spike protein alone was enough to cause disease" and "has a major damaging effect on the vascular cells."4 Researchers from the University of Bristol also found that "the spike protein binds to cells... which line the small vessels of the heart... trigger[ing] a cascade of changes which disrupt normal cell function."
Thus, Canadian scientist Byram Bridle's fear: "We made a big mistake... We thought the spike protein was a great target antigen, we never knew the spike protein itself was a toxin and was a pathogenic protein. So by vaccinating people we are inadvertently inoculating them with a toxin."
Bridle also discovered, that, according to Pfizer's confidential "biodistribution study," the lipid nanoparticles containing the spike protein manufacturing instructions circulate in the blood and throughout the body for days (an average of 13 days after first injection in some people), and accumulate "in organs and tissues including the spleen, bone marrow, the liver, adrenal glands, and in 'quite high concentrations' in the ovaries."
It seems more than reasonable that doctors like pediatrician J. Patrick Whelan are right to be "concerned about the possibility that the new vaccines... have the potential to cause microvascular injury to the brain, heart, liver and kidneys in a way that does not currently appear to be assessed in safety trials of these potential drugs."
Maybe we need some more of what Marcie Smith Parenti calls for: "actual scientific research on the question." Maybe before encouraging, let alone mandating, everyone to ingest the cool new "app" that makes their cells produce this protein all over their bodies.
Here's Thai-German microbiologist Sucharit Bhakdi's very clear five-minute explanation of what gives Dr. Whelan such concern--what is happening in the vaccinated body if the circulating spike protein acts like... well, exactly how you'd expect it to act, having "a major damaging effect on the vascular cells". Surely no one will try to force people to take these genetic therapeutics unless they are to be able to explain, just as clearly and persuasively, why they are certain that this is wrong:
Associated with all this, and alluded to by Bhakdi, is the danger of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) or "pathogenic priming." This is a process in which a vaccine that successfully neutralizes a virus also primes the immune system in such a way that, if challenged again with the same or a similar virus, it initiates a "cytokine storm" in which the immune system starts attacking the body's own organs. In this case that would mean that vaccinated people who overcome a first infection with Covid might get deathly sick when infected again with Covid or another coronavirus (i.e., the common cold).
Fauci himself warned about this: "You vaccinate someone, they get infected with what you're trying to protect them with [sic 'from'], and you actually enhance the infection" [his emphasis].
This is a known risk with SARS viruses and coronavirus vaccines, and it occurred in previous animal trials of mRNA vaccines. A study on Covid vaccine safety concerns in October 2016 goes over some of these cases. The most tragic example of ADE occurred in trials of vaccine for respiratory-syndrome coronavirus (RSV). Of the 20 infants in the vaccinated group, 16 required hospitalization, including two who died, while only one of the 21 participants in the control group was hospitalized. As the authors of study note: "we have learnt the absolute necessity of tracking the comprehensive safety of vaccines before large-scale application, no matter the urgency of the moment." See this analysis by Irish scientist Dolores Cahill and this paper from Shenzhen University Institute for Advanced Study. Unfortunately, clinical trials for these Covid vaccines did not fully test for this. Warp-speed and all.
As Robert Malone, who developed the mRNA technology, says: "The clinical trials were not designed to detect ADE, despite it being a major risk for corona vax development... FDA specifically acknowledged that ADE was a risk, and suggested focused trials were warranted - but did not require them... I find no trials to rule in/out ADE."
The testing is now being done on those vaccinated via the "let's see what happens" method. As this paper from NYU Langone and Tulane researchers puts it: "COVID-19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralising antibodies may sensitise vaccine recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated...This risk is sufficiently obscured in clinical trial protocols and consent forms for ongoing COVID-19 vaccine trials."
So, we do not yet know whether this is happening, and it's a level of risk that nobody should be forced to take. No matter the urgency of the moment.
Relativity
Speaking of risk, everyone--every person making a decision whether to take a vaccine, and every society making decisions about public-health policy--should be aware of the difference between relative-risk reduction (RRR) and absolute-risk reduction (ARR). As explained in a Lancet article, RRR "considers only participants who could benefit from the vaccine," while ARR considers "the difference between attack rates with and without a vaccine [within] the whole population."
