In a peer-reviewed pre-proof accepted for publication in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, researchers presented two cases that demonstrate, for the first time, the ability of COVID-19 vaccines to penetrate the fetal-placental barrier and reach the inside of the uterus. Additionally, researchers detected spike protein in placental tissue, indicating the bioactivity of the mRNA in reaching the placenta.

Researchers vaccinated two pregnant women with mRNA vaccines shortly before delivery to determine whether the mRNA in COVID-19 vaccines reached the placenta or fetus following maternal vaccination.

The primary objective of the study was to investigate the knowledge gaps surrounding mRNA therapies during pregnancy, utilizing the COVID-19 vaccine as a foundation for future mRNA therapeutic developments, given its established use,” the study’s corresponding author, Dr. Nazeeh Hanna, a neonatologist, told The Epoch Times by email.

Researchers Find Vaccine mRNA in Samples

The first patient, “Patient 1,” was a 34-year-old woman at 38 weeks and four days gestation who received two Pfizer vaccine doses and two booster doses—one Pfizer and one Moderna. The Moderna booster dose was administered two days before the delivery of a healthy baby by cesarean section.

The second patient, “Patient 2,” was a 33-year-old woman at 40 weeks gestation. She received two Pfizer vaccine doses. The last dose was given 10 days before vaginal delivery of a healthy baby.

According to the paper, researchers found detectable vaccine mRNA in both placentas tested. The localization of the vaccine mRNA was mainly in the villus stroma—the connective tissue layer that supports the fetal capillaries and villous trophoblast. The villous trophoblast, the primary barrier between maternal and fetal tissues, supports the exchange of nutrients between a mother and her fetus.

Researchers also detected a “notably high signal” of vaccine mRNA in the placental decidua tissue of Patient 1, who received four vaccine doses. The decidua is the specialized endometrium layer that forms the base of the placental bed.

Spike protein expression was also detected—but only in the placenta of Patient 2. However, vaccine mRNA was detected in Patient 1’s cord and maternal blood samples, which were unavailable for the second patient.

The authors said the expression of spike protein in the placenta of the second patient but not in the first suggests that more than two days are necessary following vaccination for the mRNA to reach the placenta and be translated into the spike protein, which is then expressed in placental tissue.

Finally, researchers found the integrity of vaccine mRNA varied across different samples—the vaccine’s ability to activate an immune response relies upon fully intact mRNA. According to the findings, vaccine mRNA was largely fragmented in the cord blood and less fragmented in the placenta. In the placentas, 23 percent and 42 percent of the initial integrity was retained in Patients 1 and 2, respectively. In maternal blood from Patient 1, the vaccine’s mRNA had a high level of integrity at 85 percent. Integrity decreased to 13 percent in cord blood, suggesting limited bioactivity.

COVID-19 mRNA vaccines use lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver mRNA. “The findings suggest that lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are capable of reaching the placenta and releasing mRNA within placental cells, where it is then translated into the spike (S) protein. However, by the time the mRNA reaches the fetus, it is no longer encapsulated by the LNPs, leading to its degradation (only 13% of the mRNA is intact in fetal circulation),” Dr. Hanna told The Epoch Times.

Dr. Hanna noted that the authors of the recently published paper did not evaluate the implications of transient spike protein expression in the placenta or the effects of degraded mRNA on the fetus.

Dr. Christiane Northrup, an obstetrician-gynecologist, is an advisory board member of MyCycleStory. She told The Epoch Times in an email, the group has been studying this kind of thing since the vaccine rollout in 2021. “There is no question whatsoever that the Covid 19 ‘vaccine’ ingredients are present in the placenta and throughout the body.”

“There have also been VAERS [Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System] reports of infants dying of thrombocytopenia (low platelets) following maternal vaccination, and also evidence of infants having heart attacks in the womb following maternal vaccination. None of this is new information. It has simply been widely and systematically censored,” she added.

Dr. Dan McDyer, an obstetrician-gynecologist, told The Epoch Times in an email that he is not surprised by the “discovery of evidence of mRNA from the SARS CoV-2 injections and/or SARS CoV-2 spike protein present in fetal cord blood and placental tissues.”

“To me, the recommendation of administering this medication to pregnant women was one of the most irresponsible actions in the history of modern medicine. I am so disappointed that the entities charged with the mission of protecting public health (FDA) and women’s health (ACOG) were derelict in their duties because it only took me about 15 minutes of online research to determine that these lipid nanoparticles were going to cross the placenta and infect the fetus,” Dr. McDyer said.

Dr. James Thorp, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and maternal-fetal medicine physician, told The Epoch Times by email that the paper shows mRNA from both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines can cross the placenta into the fetal blood entering the placental tissue.

“These authors observed a ‘notably high signal’ in the decidua, which is the lining of the uterus. This concentrated mRNA in the decidual tissues will be translated into high concentrations of spike protein, likely contributing to a myriad of devastating effects on human reproductive function—not just severe abnormalities of menstrual periods, but infertility, multiple pregnancy complications, and severe bleeding in pregnancy and in the post-partum period,” Dr. Thorp said.

Dr. Thorp added that despite their “horrifying” findings, the authors still concluded their evidence “overwhelmingly supports” the COVID-19 vaccine’s effectiveness in mitigating the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 in pregnant and non-pregnant women.

Initial Clinical Trials Excluded Pregnant Women, Yet Studies Suggest mRNA Biodistribution

Initial clinical trials for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines excluded pregnant women, so there was no biodistribution data on the mRNA in COVID-19 vaccines and its ability to reach the placenta or fetus following maternal vaccination. However, assessment reports provided to the European Medicines Agency by Pfizer and Moderna show that mRNA is distributed to various tissues, including the liver, adrenal glands, spleen, and ovaries in animal studies.

An animal study cited by the authors of the paper shows that lipid nanoparticles of similar composition in other mRNA injections delivered functional mRNA to the placenta and other fetal organs.

Two previous human studies by the same researchers assessed whether the mRNA in COVID-19 vaccines is present in the placenta following maternal vaccination using different methods. The first study failed to detect mRNA in maternal and cord blood or placental tissue. The researchers attributed this to the long interval between vaccination and delivery and the methodology used in the study. The second study using improved sensitivity to detect mRNA also did not reveal vaccine mRNA. However, the authors attributed this to the probe that targeted the SARS-CoV-2 gene rather than the vaccine mRNA sequence.

In the current study, the authors used a more sensitive and robust approach which allowed them to have a more precise quantification of vaccine mRNA for superior accuracy, and a probe tailored explicitly for the vaccine mRNA, ensuring more reliable detection.

“Animal work clearly shows the distribution of the lipid nanoparticles to several organs, including the liver, adrenal glands, spleen, and ovaries. So, reaching the placenta was not surprising. In humans, we have previously published that the vaccine mRNA can be distributed to breast milk.” Dr. Hanna told The Epoch Times.

‘Catastrophic on Several Levels’

Dr. McDyer said the ability of the lipid nanoparticles to cross the placenta and infect the fetus could be “catastrophic on several levels,” impacting a developing fetal immune system.

“Imagine this: The fetal immune system ‘learns’ the appearance of ‘self’ early on by recognizing molecules, MHCs (Major Histocompatibility Complexes), on the surface of all of our cells. This appearance of ‘self’ is most certainly disrupted by the appearance of spike protein on the surface of these cells (cell membranes) as induced by the ‘vaccines,’’’ he told The Epoch Times.

Additionally, fragments of spike protein will also likely appear in the MHCs on the cell surfaces. This causes a slight disfigurement of these MHCs which is likely to have an effect on the immune system’s capability to recognize ‘self,’” he added.

Dr. McDyer said he is certain disrupting cellular homeostasis by distracting the fetal cells to produce foreign proteins, such as the spike protein, instead of the proteins necessary for a developing fetus, will have detrimental unknown consequences. He believes this explains why one of his colleagues, a pediatric neurosurgeon, has seen a few unborn babies who have had strokes, an event he says he has never heard of in his entire career until now.

We know that spike [protein] initiates clot formation, which can result in strokes,” Dr. McDyer said. “This is all so sad as it was completely unavoidable if normal, historical precautionary approaches were in place.”

Dr. Hanna believes that introducing mRNA to the fetus may pose potentially plausible risks but may also yield biologically plausible benefits. “The potential of mRNA-based interventions in addressing maternal and fetal health issues is profound. Such insights could substantially advance the crafting of safer and more effective mRNA-based therapies during pregnancy,” he said.

Which does not surprise me in the least.

What better way to reduce the population than ensure it gets passed down from one generation to the next?

Many freepers insisted this wasn’t possible, that the spike proteins remained at the injection site, and that we were crazy for believing otherwise.

Funny - isn’t it? Where are the Ever-Trumpers to address this? I reference it in discussions about the lack of enthusiasm for Trump = don’t want to believe there are a lot of people that view Trump as the mechanism to allow the mandate to take place. I view this current election that a lot of people are not eager to vote for either Trump or Biden.
Perhaps when they pull Biden at the convention and install Mike 0bama as the candidate that will get the team excited about the game.

what about spreading to the unvaxxed partner? ie: shedding

this was known to be possible since the first few months where the vaxx was shown to focus on the reproductive organs. unprotected sex would transfer the mRNA and once inside the new unvaxxed host... it would start replicating.

A peer reviewed study published in the The National Center for Biotechnology Information, “Evaluation of transplacental Transfer of mRNA Vaccine Products and Functional Antibodies During Pregnancy and Infancy” concludes:

“To determine the transplacental transfer of mRNA vaccine-derived products, we examined available maternal blood at delivery, placenta tissue, and cord blood for Spike protein by western blot and vaccine mRNA by PCR. All available delivery samples (maternal blood, placental tissue, and cord blood) were negative for Spike protein by western blot (Supp Fig. 1, Supp Table 3) and did not have detectable levels of vaccine mRNA by PCR (Suppl Table 3). Together, this indicates that products of mRNA vaccination do not reach the fetus after vaccination during pregnancy at readily detectable levels.”

“Uptake of COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy has been slow5, and reasons for vaccine hesitancy are likely multifactorial—but theoretical concerns that vaccine mRNA products could cross the placenta have been raised. We found no evidence of mRNA vaccine products in any of our delivery samples at readily detectable levels, consistent with a recent study that did not find evidence of mRNA vaccine-related Spike protein in placenta tissue by immunohistochemistry after maternal vaccination”31.

“Minimal mRNA Uptake and Inflammatory Response to COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Exposure in Human Placental Explants”

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004223016267

Conclusion:

“In conclusion, our results provide further support to published clinical research that COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy was not associated with increased pregnancy complications or adverse neonatal outcomes.33,34 There have been no adverse histopathologic findings in placentas isolated from vaccinated pregnancies.35,36 Thus, our results provide additional reassurance regarding the safety of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in pregnancy, which have been shown to protect both the mother and the baby against COVID-19 and associated complications.

It was to President Trump’s favor that he gave funding to create a new vaccine at “Warp Speed.” The vaccine pharmaceuticals took a huge risk in the delivery of a vaccine that was better than 90% effective after live clinical trials that required 40,000 participants.

The vaccine effort was a race against the virus to create herd immunity. COVID-19 was not only highly contagious, but it was deadly. Because of President Trump, the race against the spread was, and had, to be at “Warp Speed.” When there was vaccine hesitancy among ignorant people, it was the Biden Leftnicks who rolled out the mandates. In September 2021, President Joe Biden announced that the federal government would take steps to mandate COVID-19 vaccination for certain entities under the authority of the federal government or federal agencies. Biden should have rolled out a comprehensive education program to get the America public on board for the crucial war against the virus.

A new report suggests vaccine mRNA does not remain at the injection site following vaccination but can “spread systemically”

Recycling this again - how many times has this been done now to create a phony "new" conspiracy? A liquid injection will spread beyond the injection site...well no kidding.

to the placenta and umbilical cord blood of infants whose mothers are vaccinated during pregnancy.

That's not new either and was even promoted as a benefit of being vaccinated while pregnant - indeed was heavily promoted: “Antibodies go from the mother’s bloodstream to the placenta and then travel through the umbilical cord to the fetus,” Edlow said. https://covid19.nih.gov/news-and-stories/covid-19-vaccination-pregnancy-likely-benefits-moms-babies

Whether or it was or is wise to get vaccinated during a pregnancy is a legitimate discussion. Making stuff up like it is a new revelation to recycle a conspiracy like it is something that was withheld and covered up is not - that's dishonest. As is trying to act like it is shocking or a surprise that liquid injections can and do move beyond injection sites as though they aren't supposed to and usually don't.

Stop the shameless nonsense already.

Oh, no sir - not a single person said that, and rightfully called out those claiming injections stay only at the injection site as spreading a phony conspiracy so they could then sight something to "reveal" it spread beyond the injection site...because they were and still are - it's shameless and embarrassing - and yet it keeps happening - just recycling this and other fake conspiracies as a newly discovered revelation. This is far from the first time this has been posted as some supposed "new" information.

I reviewed this study’s data myself. It’s scary. The mRNA shot was just slightly less effective for terminating a pregnancy than the Morning After Pill.

“A new report suggests vaccine mRNA does not remain at the injection site”

why on earth would ANY educated person believe that ANY injection would “remain on site”? ... after all, William Harvey demonstrated the existence and function of the circulation system in the early 1600s ...

yes. think about it. it’s injected into your body using a needle. the delivery was nothing magical... it just got into your body. once in your body the mRNA starts replicating ‘trillions and trillions of times’ to quote fauci.

if that’s the case... and it likes to hang out around your nether regions... it’ll hop a ride during intercourse and find itself in yet another body... where it’ll just keep replicating.

there’s nothing stopping it once it’s in the body.

Ignorant people?
I assume you are ignoring the data from places where masks nor vaccines were mandated related to spread of the ‘disease’. In addition to the data related to vaccine injury that occurred when administered and now long-term impact. mRNA was not a ‘novel’ approach to a ‘novel’ virus. It had failed for over 40 years - the evidence has been there.
Trump had people in the White House telling him these things; instead he allowed his cabinet appointments to stab him in the back instead of take the PR hit on standing on science related to this event.
I find your post alarming considering the subject of the article posted; perhaps you were one that reported people to Twitter/YouTube/Facebook when they stated facts related to the harm of the COVID jab. Considering it is now common knowledge the efficacy rates were total BS - going so far as to pollute the control group in Johnson County Kansas when live testing was taking place - sorry to say this - the live clinical trial was a sham and done on purpose. We had NO ONE standing up for us while the private/public partnerships worked to eliminate cheaper and effective treatments for the ‘disease’. Trump got rolled on this - even though he boasted of taking hyrdoxychloroquine - I consider it too complicated a subject for him to tackle effectively for a good public polling result.
Don’t forget - the elimination of the cheap and effective treatments HAD to be removed from the table - by law the emergency use authorization could not be utilized if ‘horse paste’ was found to work better and safer.
