“How long have you practiced medicine?

Would an MD’s care to set this person straight?”

You should type less and research more, the FACTS I posted are out there, get off your lazy ass and look for them.

Claim 3 (Unsupported): “Vaccines suppress the NK cells, destroying the immune system of tens or hundreds of millions who are receiving the vaccines”

Later in the video, Coleman referred to claims made by Geert Vanden Bossche, an independent consultant who previously worked in vaccine development. Vanden Bossche claimed in an open letter on Twitter, addressed to the World Health Organization, that mass vaccination against COVID-19 would lead to more severe disease. This Health Feedback review demonstrated why Vanden Bossche’s claim is misleading and unsupported by scientific evidence.

Coleman claimed that vaccines promote the generation of specific antibodies that compete with NK cells, which he called “the body’s natural defenses”. He asserted that this would render NK cells ineffective.

But Coleman’s claim isn’t consistent with what we know of NK cells. NK cells, or natural killer cells, are a type of white blood cell that recognize virus-infected cells without relying on antibodies, and thus can respond to a viral infection faster than other types of immune cells, since the body can take days to weeks to produce antibodies.

However, even though NK cells can generate an immune response in the absence of antibodies, there are also mechanisms by which antibodies promote NK cell action, known as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity[6]. This antibody-mediated activation causes NK cells to eliminate cells that have been infected by a pathogen. This demonstrates that antibodies don’t render NK cells ineffective, as Coleman claimed. Rather, they assist NK cells in fighting infection. Coleman offered no evidence showing otherwise.

The role of NK cells in fighting COVID-19 is unclear at the moment, although researchers detected elevated levels of activated NK cells in patients with severe COVID-19[7]. Overall, Coleman’s claim that antibodies induced by vaccination interfere with NK cell function is unsupported by scientific evidence, since this effect has not been detected in vaccinated persons.
