Nobel Winner Highlighted “Non-Trivial” Side Effects of mRNA Vaccines Including Auto-Immunity and Blood Clotting Risks

by Robert Kogon
2 October 2023 3:04 PM

In what seems like an inevitable development, scientists Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman have been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine for their role in developing the mRNA technology underlying the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, which were rolled out in late 2020.

But in a paper published as recently as 2018 and which is extensively quoted in an article at MedPageToday, none other than Drew Weissman warned that prior clinical trials of mRNA vaccines had produced results which were “more modest in humans than was expected based on animal models… and the side effects were not trivial”, including “moderate and in rare cases severe injection site or systemic reactions”.

Further summarising the paper by Weissman and three colleagues in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, MedPageToday notes:

Their chief safety concerns, which they said should be closely watched in future trials, were about local and systemic inflammation, as well as keeping tabs on the “expressed immunogen” and on any auto-reactive antibodies.

“A possible concern could be that some mRNA-based vaccine platforms induce potent type I interferon responses, which have been associated not only with inflammation but also potentially with autoimmunity,” they wrote. “Thus, identification of individuals at an increased risk of autoimmune reactions before mRNA vaccination may allow reasonable precautions to be taken.”

The authors also noted that extracellular RNA could contribute to edema, and cited a study that showed it “promoted blood coagulation and pathological thrombus formation.”

The MedPageToday article is titled ‘Want to Know More About mRNA Before Your Covid Jab?‘ How many readers actually went ahead and got it after they knew?

The Chagos Islands were ceded to Britain by a treaty. Does anybody know if the government of the day has the legal right to negate treaties without the consent of Parliament? Doesn’t that sound rather presidential?

Don’t think anyone’s ahead of you on this. Otherwise there would have been some explanation in the Telegraph article. I fear the answer to your questions are: They haven’t, and it wasn’t.

With surrender monkey Starmer in Downing Street, if I lived in tha Falklands, I’d start learning Spanish or whatever it is they speak in serially-bankrupt corrupt, failed-state Argentina.

And if I were Gibraltarian I’d be equally concerned.

I would be asking that 4 Regiments of the British Army be dispatched to defend our Islands! And what is left of the Navy and Airforce. Stalin wants to get rid of our services all together! This is why.

The Chancellor might be relaxed about dumping Gibraltar, but might say NO re the Falklands.

Worth noting that if the Gov was still interested in oil as an energy source, the existence of oil to be extracted is a reason for holding on to the Falkland Islands. However, there are quite a few published articles on this topic, including the potential dispute as to whether it should ever be used at all. It would be ironic if the islanders wanted to extract oil and sell it South America. Maybe money would want to get out of the UK altogether in that case; who knows.

Just search for “falklands oil reserves”.

The Government – in the form of Mad Ed Milliband – is not interested in oil as an energy source – so expect the Falklands to be surrendered sooner rather than later.

I fear that this is the prime reason why this Government will give up the Falklands. The power to issue licenses for oil and gas extraction lies with the Government in Port Stanley and not Westminster. Therefore, Milliband will not be able to stop them doing it and his plan to stop all oil extraction will fail. Handover the islands to Argentina and it is more carbon production exported and more achievement for the idiot.

If that communist bstard tries to give up the Falklands and Gib, he’ll be hanging from a lamppost by the end of the month (metaphorically, before the Gestapo start checking my thinking).

He’ll do whatever his Chinese overlords demand, and do it willingly.
Every action so far, inc open borders, carbon zero, wrecking the economy, benefits the CCP.
They humiliated a corrupt Biden and used their Democrat agents to destroy America using the same playbook.
If you want to understand Starmer’s next move, look east.
It is willing, deliberate, intentional and completely overlooked by ourz naive MSM.

Well, if that be true that’s a signal to Spain and Argentina if ever I saw one.
As I recall/ some idiot Labour foreign secretary said as much re the Falkands re Argentina.
That worked out well.

Starmer cannot do this without full consent of Parliament. Can a single MP make a binding Treaty which applies to all the population? He has assumed this will pass because he has a majority, an assumption which cannot be made. We, the British people do not consent, and even more particularly will not have parts of our population, the Falklands or Gibraltar, given away to a foreign power. Who does he think he is? I suggest the entire Labour party be transferred to China or Russia and be deported NOW. This is simply dictatorship of the type which Stalin would be proud. Has he asked the population if they wish to be transferred? No, and they probably don’t! Evil.
