COVID-19 vaccine discussion

It this fake news?  Is this guy who claims to be a doctor lying?  Is he inviting hatred and contempt upon himself for the lulz, or something more sinister?  Or is he just really dumb?

What say you, Surly?

Didn't watch the podcast, but there are many doctors and researchers who are dumbasses. Type any of his points and I'll respond.

 

If this is about the spike protein being pathogenic and toxic, that simply isn't true. Only pathogens can be pathogenic and the spike protein is not a pathogen. The spike protein also isn't toxic per se. Like many foreign proteins, the spike protein is immunogenic meaning the human body mounts a response against it. This is good and what keeps our species viable. Sometimes the immune response to a protein can go haywire and cause issues but this is not the same as the protein itself doing harm. If the spike protein did cause harm it would be a local issue near the site of injection and the nearest lymph nodes. This is because vaccines mostly remain near the site of injection. Very few people have had localized reactions with the sort of necrosis that a toxic agent would be expected to create. Moreover, the spike protein only stays intact in the human body for a few weeks so whatever toxicity could exist would disappear after that time.

He states there is peer reviewed evidence these spike proteins are not staying in the shoulder, and are entering the blood stream. 

He states these spike proteins can cross the blood brain barrier, and also concentrate in several different organs.

He also states these spike proteins cause blood clots, and other damage to the cardiovascular system.

Like I mentioned, it is a very short clip.  It would be great if you gave it a listen, and could refute his claims.

CLAIM: COVID-19 vaccines make people produce a spike protein that is a toxin and can spread to other parts of the body and damage organs.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. COVID-19 vaccines instruct the body to produce spike proteins that teach the immune system to combat the spikes on the coronavirus, and experts say these proteins are not toxic.

THE FACTS: A recent radio interview with an Ontario professor is being shared widely online to mislead social media users about COVID-19 vaccines. 

In an episode that aired in May, Canadian radio host Alex Pierson interviewed Dr. Byram Bridle, an associate professor in viral immunology at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College, about whether the vaccine was safe for children. 

On the show, Bridle says that he is pro-vaccine, but goes on to discuss a fringe theory that the spike protein that the body produces from the vaccine is toxic and can damage certain organs. 

“We made a big mistake. We didn’t realize it until now, 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,” he says. 

Though Bridle used the term “we” there is no indication that he was involved in any way in developing COVID-19 vaccines. Other scientists refute Bridle’s characterization of the spike protein.

“The spike protein is immunogenic, meaning it causes an immune response, but it is not a toxin,” said William Matchett, a vaccine researcher at the University of Minnesota Medical School.

All the vaccines that received emergency use authorization in the U.S. do not contain actual spike protein from COVID-19 or the live COVID-19 virus. The spike proteins that coat the coronavirus allow the virus to easily infect the human cell and replicate. However, the vaccine works by teaching the immune system to fight off the spike protein in the body and get rid of it. 

Dr. Dan Kaul, an infectious disease expert at the University of Michigan, said that the vaccines have been proven safe and effective through clinical trials and the millions of people who have so far received the vaccines in the U.S.

“In terms of the spike protein itself being pathogenic in some way that’s just simply not true,” he said in response to Bridle’s claims. 

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines rely on messenger RNA, often referred to as mRNA, that delivers a set of instructions to create that spike protein so your body can learn to identify and fight off the virus. The Johnson & Johnson is a vaccine that carries its genetic instructions for the spike protein through a modified adenovirus. 

Posts online shared quotes of Bridle’s interview to further push the false narrative that  COVID-19 vaccines are dangerous and attack the body. 

In the interview, Bridle says that the spike proteins generated by the vaccines don’t stay in the shoulder muscle, but spread and are “causing so much damage in other parts of the bodies of the vaccinated.” But Dr. Adam Ratner, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at NYU Langone Health, said that vaccines are mostly concentrated at the site of injection or the local lymph nodes. 

“What was said in the radio show was completely inaccurate,” Ratner said. “There is no spike protein in the vaccines first of all. The amounts that are made after the mRNA is injected are very small and it almost exclusively stays locally. It is nowhere near the amount he was talking about.”

In the radio interview, Bridle mentions a study of 13 health care workers that he said confirmed that the spike in protein was found in their blood. But experts say they found nothing of concern from that same study, which was conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and appeared in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases in May.

Bridle left out key details of the study, which relied on an ultrasensitive detection tool, said Matchett, of University of Minnesota.  

“The spike became undetectable by 14 days after the first dose of the vaccine,” Matchett said of the study. “After the second dose, they could not detect the spike protein in the blood of any of the participants because the participants had all generated anti-spike antibodies.”

Bridle also mentioned a Japanese study to support his claims about the spike protein. But the study, which is written in Japanese, does not look at spike proteins from the vaccine, Matchett said.

Bridle did not respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press. An auto-reply email from his account said that a more comprehensive report on his comments would soon be published. 

“My answer to the question posed by the host was objective and founded on multiple reliable scientific sources,” he said in the auto-reply.

Why the fuck would you want the spike proteins to stay in the “shoulder”? They have to be exposed to antigen presenting cells so your body can make some fucking antibodies. That guy is a moron

 

Edit: also, the vaccine doesn’t cause cells in your shoulder to produce the spike proteins. I really doubt that guy is a physician. If he is, he slept through cell biology and immunology

The info presented by neomoon states it is supposed to stay at the injection site.

But Dr. Adam Ratner, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at NYU Langone Health, said that vaccines are mostly concentrated at the site of injection or the local lymph nodes.

Local lymph nodes yes. Intramuscular in the deltoid is ridiculous. And “local” lymph nodes for the shoulder would include axillary, supraclavicular and  infraclavicular, anterior and posterior cervical and even suboccipital on that side. And even if some of the spike proteins got into the blood, who gives a shit? There have been literally billions of doses given. If this was a problem we would know about it.

 

You have to be a fucking idiot to think that the medical community/scientific community would either want to or be able to hide any significant number of complications such as organ failure or brain injury or cardiovascular injury due to spike proteins. The only thing a scientist likes as much as discovering something new and great is showing that someone else’s new and great discovery is bullshit.

First, the average entrance GPA is higher for Vet School than Med School in the US. From what I know about this (which is very little), there aren't many vet schools around the country so there aren't many spots for applicants. Second, he didn't go to Vet School as far as I know: He does research at a Vet School as an associate professor. In other words, he is a PhD not DVM.

Weekly Uk survey has some interesting data. Vaccine protects against severe illness as we know, but case rates are higher in vaccinated in most age cohorts. 
 

Source-https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-vaccine-weekly-surveillance-reports

 

My theory:  People who are more cautious were both more likely to follow pre-vaccine precautions and more likely to get the vaccine.  They are also more likely to get tested now if they feel sick.

So more cautious folks didn't get as much disease pre-vaccine but they got out of the bunker post-vaccine and they're now getting breakthrough cases.  And they are more likely to go get a test if that happens.

The less cautious group had more natural immunity pre-vaccine from catching COVID and they are less likely to go get a test now, because that would admit that they were morons not to get the vaccine.  But eventually those that need hospitalization show up in the data.

ROME (AP) — Moderna has no plans to share the recipe for its COVID-19 vaccine because executives have concluded that scaling up the company’s own production is the best way to increase the global supply, the company’s chairman said Monday.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Noubar Afeyan also reiterated a pledge Moderna made a year ago not to enforce patent infringement on anyone else making a coronavirus vaccine during the pandemic.

“We didn’t have to do that,” Afeyan said. ”We think that was the right, responsible thing to do.” He added: “We want that to be helping the world.”

The United Nations health agency has pressed Moderna to share its vaccine formula. Afeyan said the company analyzed whether it would be better to share the messenger RNA technology and determined that it could expand production and deliver billions of additional doses in 2022.

“Within the next six to nine months, the most reliable way to make high-quality vaccines and in an efficient way is going to be if we make them,” Afeyan said. Asked about appeals from the World Health Organization and others, he contended that such pleas assumed ”that we couldn’t get enough capacity, but in fact we know we can.”

Super-small sample size.  Not that I discount that sort of result as a possibility, I'd just like to see a more rigorous study with a larger sample.

That said, the point remains, the best way to knock this fucker down is to saturate the population with vaccines that are proven to be safe and effective.  But we won't do that, because we're SO.  FUCKING.  STUPID.
