'We made a big mistake’ — COVID Vaccine spike protein travels from injection site, can cause organ damage

COVID vaccine researchers had previously assumed mRNA COVID vaccines would behave like traditional vaccines. The vaccine’s spike protein — responsible for infection and its most severe symptoms — would remain mostly in the injection site at the shoulder muscle or local lymph nodes.

But new research obtained by a group of scientists contradicts that theory, a Canadian cancer vaccine researcher said last week.

“We made a big mistake. We didn’t realize it until now,” said Byram Bridle, a viral immunologist and associate professor at University of Guelph, Ontario. “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.”

DR. Brindle: “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. In some people, this gets into circulation, and when that happens in some people it can cause damage — especially in the cardiovascular system.”

Bridle said his claims were “completely backed up by peer-reviewed, scientific publications.”

But they’re not.

Bridle cited two things: a study accepted for publication in the peer-reviewed journal Clinical Infectious Diseases and a document about Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine. But neither source backs up his claims.

“My reading of the article you sent is Bridle is over-interpreting our results,” said David Walt, a professor at Harvard Medical School and the study’s co-author.

The study measured proteins in plasma samples from 13 participants who received two doses of Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine. It found that spike protein “was detectable in three of 13 participants an average of 15 days after the first injection.”

But those results don’t indicate the coronavirus vaccines are dangerous. It suggests the vaccines are working as designed.

“Our study simply validated that the mRNA vaccine is translated into the protein it is designed to encode,” Walt said. “Because our method is 100-1000 fold more sensitive than others, we detected VERY low concentrations of the protein in most vaccinated individuals.”

The paper’s authors hypothesized that it could be due to the body’s immune response. During that process, T cells kill other cells that present the spike protein, causing an “additional release of spike into the bloodstream.”

That phenomenon isn’t a cause for concern, Walt said.

“While it is true that the spike protein has ‘superantigen’ properties, which means it has the POTENTIAL to cause adverse effects, we know that it doesn’t cause these effects in many infected patients, it doesn’t cause many of these superantigen effects in most vaccinated individuals, and the levels are incredibly low in the blood, suggesting this shouldn’t be a concern,” he said.

The second source Bridle cited is a “biodistribution study” obtained from the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency. He said the study shows how the coronavirus spike protein circulates in the bloodstream of vaccinated individuals and accumulates in their organs.

Pfizer said the document, which is in Japanese, doesn’t back up Bridle’s claims.

“The document is a real (common technical document), though it’s not leaked – it’s part of the submission data applied by Pfizer to PMDA (Japan’s version of FDA) for its review,” Kit Longley, senior manager of science media relations said, “The document is about the pharmacokinetics overview seen from lab studies and we can confirm it’s not about spike proteins from the vaccine resulting in dangerous toxins that linger in the body.”

But Bridle’s own colleagues at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College say the immunologist’s claims are wrong.

“The bottom line is the vaccine contains an altered protein that is designed to prevent full activation, and it circulates for a short period of time at levels that are far below what would be a concern,” said W. Glen Pyle, a professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences.

J. Scott Weese, an associate professor in the Department of Pathobiology, said “that all evidence suggests the coronavirus vaccines are safe. Misinformation about the safety of the vaccines appears to be aimed at creating fear and confusion during a critical time in this pandemic.”

“The efficacy and safety of mRNA vaccines is astounding, to me, particularly for a virus we’ve only known for a year and a half,” Weese said. “mRNA vaccines have been used on millions of people, including extremely high rates of vaccination in high-risk populations (elderly, patients with other diseases), with incredibly low adverse event rates.”

Public health officials have closely monitored the vaccine rollout for potential adverse effects. Amy Greer, an associate professor in the Department of Population Medicine at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College, said that the system appears to be working.

“Given the large number of mRNA vaccines administered to date, the absence of (safety concerns) with the mRNA vaccines is really a significant scientific achievement,” she said.

The claim that spike proteins from coronavirus vaccines are dangerous toxins that cause damage in the body is FALSE, based on all the research out there. A recent study found spike protein in the blood of individuals vaccinated against COVID-19, but the levels were too low to cause damage, according to one of the study’s authors. Pfizer and Bridle’s colleagues also say his claims about spike proteins are wrong. Public health officials say the three coronavirus vaccines approved for emergency use in the U.S. are safe and effective at preventing serious infection.

An author of the study Bridle cited said Bridle “over-interpreted” its results. And several of Bridle’s colleagues emphasized his claims about spike proteins are wrong.

“A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines,” according to the CDC.

Carolyn Coyne, a professor of molecular genetics and biology at Duke University, said that spike proteins do stay in the body for some time. But the proteins are eventually broken down, and the vaccines are constructed in a way that limits the ability of the proteins to fully bind to cells and create more infectious particles.

“There is no scientific data to indicate that the spike protein is toxic or that it lingers at any toxic level in the body after vaccination,” said Abby Capobianco, press officer for the FDA.

I might have had covid, but whether I did or I didn’t, I figure I’ve got natural immunity either way.

Why do I say that?

Because from what I observe, the people who catch it get over it in less than a week.

That speed of recovery suggests our immune system is recognizing the virus and deploying antibodies that already exist from fighting similar coronaviruses.

Another way to look at it is to consider that - here we are looking at having had Covid19 as a GOOD thing because it means we now have immunity that is as good as - or better than - a vaccine.

So if it’s a good thing to have had it, why should I be afraid of catching it?

The sensible thing in retrospect would have been to let it spread - even encourage it like we often do with chicken pox. We used to have “chicken pox parties” to make sure our kids got chicken pox when they are young - because chicken pox is more serious for adults.

No distancing - no shut-downs - no masks - and certainly no experimental vaccinations! The most we should have done is stay home if you have sloppy cold symptoms. Nobody wants to be sneezed and coughed on.

But the government had all sorts of agendas - so here we are.
