Moderna Scientists Warn mRNA Vaccines Carry Toxicity Risks
Epoch Times ^ | 02/06/2024 | Zachary Steiber

The technology used in Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine carries toxicity risks, scientists with the company said in a new paper.

A major challenge now is how to efficiently de-risk potential toxicities associated with mRNA technology,” the scientists wrote in the paper, which was published by Nature Reviews Drug Discovery on Jan. 23.

The Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 shots use modified messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology. The mRNA is delivered by lipid nanoparticles (LNP).

The toxicity risks include “lipid nanoparticle structural components, production methods, route of administration and proteins produced from complexed mRNAs,” the authors of the paper said.

Authors of the paper include Eric Jacquinet and Dimitrios Bitounis, Moderna employees, and Maximillian Rogers, who was working at Moderna when the paper was being done.

Moderna didn’t respond to a request for comment.

The mRNA vaccines have multiple known side effects, including heart inflammation and severe allergic shock. Those may stem from hypersensitivity reactions, which can be elicited by “any LNP-mRNA component” but are most likely triggered by PEGlyated lipid nanoparticles, which is “the most potentially reactogenic component,” the scientists said.

Polyethylene glycol, or PEG, an ingredient in the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, is known to cause allergic reactions. Outside scientists are divided over the mechanism behind the heart inflammation, while Pfizer has posited that the LNPs are behind the issue.

The new paper drew from prior publications and other data. The authors didn’t carry out any new experiments.

Some of the papers cited included those that have found mRNA and the spike protein delivered by Moderna’s shot in various parts of human beings weeks or months after vaccination, despite health officials claiming when the vaccines were rolled out that such materials would exit the body within days.

The scientists said that Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine is “safe and effective” and hailed the development of an updated shot as “demonstrat[ing] the rapid timeline for modifications with mRNA technology in the clinic.” Due to the “transient nature of mRNA,” though, “repeat administration may be necessary,” they said.

The scientists added later that reducing risks of toxicities with mRNA-based vaccines and drugs is necessary but “complicated.” That can be accomplished through a multi-pronged approach that includes advanced testing in laboratories and adjusts preclinical, animal trials to better account for “differences in human and animal physiology.”

Moderna and other companies are currently testing a number of new mRNA products, including influenza vaccines and cancer treatments.

“Thanks to the mRNA platform we built, we have an exciting pipeline, with up to 15 launches in the next five years,” Stephane Bancel, Moderna’s CEO, told investors in the company’s most recent earnings call.

The paper’s corresponding author, Mansoor Amiji of Northeastern University’s Departments of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Chemical Engineering, referred a request for comment to Mr. Bitounis, who didn’t provide any answers.

Dr. Malone Reacts

Dr. Robert Malone, who helped invent the mRNA technology, said the paper downplayed the range of risks that have been linked to the mRNA-based vaccines and may be part of a limited hangout, or a propaganda technique.

That technique, a form of misdirection, involves people offering some information to obscure or prevent the discovery of other information.

“My most generous interpretation of the overall intent of the article is that this article summarizes and represents information concerning risks and toxicities of this platform technology which Moderna wishes to have disclosed in a manner which puts the firm, its activities and the underlying platform technology in the best possible light,” Dr. Malone, who wasn’t involved with the paper, wrote in his review.

“A less generous interpretation of intent is that this article represents a subtle form of propaganda strategy commonly referred to as a limited hangout.”

“A less generous interpretation of intent is that this article represents a subtle form of propaganda strategy commonly referred to as a limited hangout.”

In other words, I think, it focuses on the delivery mechanism, and has the reader presume that the underlying mRNA technology is harmless.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. I’ve been looking for it. Show it to me.

For those inclined, visit X and find "Christie Laura Grace". Christie has in-depth threads detailing the lipid nano particle interactions with both the mRNA and the dsDNA contaminants (see McKernan) found in the "vaxxines". The "zeta potential" of the LNP+RNA mix determines which tissue/cell types have binding affinity. Ovary, testis, liver, kidney, heart and brain can be targeted.

The dirty production mRNA+LNP+dsDNA in the injections is capable of transfecting human cells and allowing the dsDNA to integrate with the host cell DNA.

What REAL docs and scientists told us THREE years ago.

Said docs/scientists were mocked, mercilessly, by the FR $hot $hills.

And yet, people still keep defending it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Go figure.

By this summer Big Pharma will again join the Dems and blame this all on Operation Warpspeed ... and Trump.

The vaccines are bad, but is really, really bad is boosting with them.

Multiple shots are very destructive

Well, well, another article on immunology from the esteemed journal The Epoch Times. /sarc

Given the source, my BS meter is already spiking.

But it’s late, so I will have to wait until tomorrow to track down the original source and read it.

Will it say what the tale spinners at The Epoch Times claim it says?

I doubt it. They only get away with spewing misinformation because their intended audience is scientific illiterate and incapable of fact-checking medical misinformation.

Thanks.

We’re vindicated but that will never be admitted by the vax covidians.

Its stuff we all knew because the docs sounding the alarm repeatedly pointed this out. The apologists and vax nazis screamed at us it wasn’t true.

Gee...what happened to “Safe AND Effective”?

Because it was BS from jump street.

People should hang for this but no one will...
Mistakes may have been made...can’t we just move on?

Pizz on the lot of ‘em.

When you get down to it, all these molecules created by man that do not occur in nature to some degree are poisonous. Sometimes our bodies react in a manner we view positively, like lowering cholesterol, but changed your body chemistry none the less.

We have been focusing on eliminating as many man made molecules from our lives as possible. We do things like use coconut oil for lotion, ghee or tallow to cook with, shred our own cheese, avoid all processed food. We buy food that doesn’t have ingredients. That kind of thing.

Who knows which molecule will be the next asbestos? Glysophate?
