This professor has since been discredited. For example, during COVID-19 vaccine development, animal studies were designed specifically to look for signs of so-called antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) which he is referring to, — and did not find evidence of it. In deployment of vaccines, it has not been observed in the context of the appearance of the coronavirus either. Point: Contradicting Prof. Montangnier would be Dr. Helen Chu, an immunologist and professor of medicine at the University of Washington who said that though ADE was a theoretical concern at the beginning of the pandemic, we are not seeing it in the clinical trials or in the real world as vaccines roll out as they have been deployed. He also argued that flu shots would kill Covid-19 patients, which is also false, as explained in an AFP Factual article and has a further propensity for commenting on areas out of his speciality. No major scientific papers support this man's assertion, and by and large he no longer has any credibility in scientific circles. I think there should be more due diligence on sources before posting them of FR...least that is what we used to do in the old days here.
