‘ROLL up your sleeve please.’
‘OK. Which one? Does it matter?’
‘Um… let me consult the latest research.’
And I just have.
This week, a new Nature article, linked in Global Health Now, claimed ‘COVID vaccine works faster with both doses in the same arm’. But do they? The article, reporting on a study in Cell, also referred to an earlier study in The Journal of Clinical Investigation, where it had been shown that, instead of administering doses in the same arm (ipsilateral), using different arms (contralateral) was more effective.
It was stated in the article that the results of the earlier study ‘don’t contradict the latest study’s findings’ and that the recent study showed ‘possibly improved responses’ from vaccination in the same arm at early time points, as well as ‘clearly superior’ immune responses later on after vaccination in opposite arms.
Of course, the above presents an interesting clinical and scientific conundrum which, all things being equal, would be worth investigating further (remarkably, the conclusion of both studies). However, these are covid vaccines, manufactured using mRNA technology; everything is far from equal. Apart from the fact that these are studies of the efficacy of the vaccines at raising immunological markers and not at preventing covid infections, the covid vaccines are not effective. Worse, they are dangerous. Investigations into these vaccines should cease forthwith as a matter of public protection.
The absolute risk reduction for infection with covid ranges from 0.8 per cent to 1.3 per cent for the covid vaccine, and this has been known since 2022. This means, in the worst case, 120 people must be vaccinated to prevent one infection. For hospitalisation, 2,700 people must be vaccinated, and to prevent a single death, over 10,000 people must be vaccinated.
If the vaccines were ‘safe’ as was claimed early in their rollout, the above figures may be acceptable. In reality, no vaccines are entirely safe, and the covid vaccines have proved to be just about the most unsafe vaccine ever rolled out.
On his Focal Points website, Dr Nicolas Hulscher, who has a Master’s in Public Health, says ‘We Have the Data – It’s Time to Cancel mRNA’. With fully cited information based on studies involving 184million participants, the data clearly indicates the dangers inherent in vaccines that depend on mRNA technology to work. Hulscher shows the increases in risks of the following serious adverse events after administration of covid vaccines:
- Myocarditis (+510 per cent after second dose)
- Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (+278 per cent after first dose)
- Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (+223 per cent after first dose)
- Guillain-Barré Syndrome (+149 per cent after first dose)
- Heart Attack (+286 per cent after second dose)
- Stroke (+240 per cent after first dose)
- Coronary Artery Disease (+244 per cent after second dose)
- Cardiac Arrhythmia (+199 per cent after first dose)
Regarding the central nervous system and mental health, following covid vaccines, increased problems are reported as follows:
- Alzheimer’s(+22.5 per cent)
- Cognitive impairment (+137.7 per cent)
- Ischemic stroke (+44 per cent)
- Haemorrhagic stroke (+50 per cent)
- Transient ischemic attack (+67 per cent)
- Myelitis (+165 per cent)
- Myasthenia gravis(+71 per cent)
- Depression(+68.3 per cent)
- Anxiety disorders (+43.9 per cent)
- Sleep disorders (+93.4 per cent)
He also shows that there has been a 20 per cent increase in teens visiting emergency rooms following covid vaccinations. It is interesting to note that this was the specific age group for which the UK Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) claimed efficacy of 100 per cent, thus encouraging widespread use. Brains of stroke patients were found to have mRNA fragments and covid spike proteins 17 months following vaccination, and the WHO reported an increase in deaths in the covid vaccinated. They described the deaths as ‘paradoxical’, clearly unable to accept or unwilling to admit that the covid vaccines were dangerous. Given what we know and what could be predicted from the likely mechanism of the mRNA covid vaccines, it is surely more logical to describe these deaths as ‘inevitable’.
The debate over which arm to use for Covid-19 vaccination may offer a fascinating glimpse into immunological mechanics, but it cannot be meaningfully pursued without first addressing the broader question of vaccine efficacy and safety. With growing data highlighting both the limited and absolute benefit and increasing concern over safety of mRNA vaccines, continued investment in such research risks lives. Until clear, independent reassessment is undertaken, caution should guide policy and practice in the area of mRNA technology.
