A friend, Ashmedai, highlighted a fascinating animal study, which found that giving pregnant rats the Pfizer Covid vaccine induced ‘autism-like’ traits in the male pups born after such vaccination.
The placebo-controlled study was published in Neurochemical Research.
The researchers set out to evaluate the effects of Covid vaccination on rats during pregnancy to see the effect on the offspring:
This study aimed to investigate the gene expression of WNT, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, specific cytokines, m-TOR expression, neuropathology, and autism-related neurobehavioral outcomes in a rat model. Pregnant rats received the COVID-19 mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine during gestation. Subsequent evaluations on male and female offspring included autism-like behaviors, neuronal counts and motor performance.
To their dismay, the scientists indeed found profound disturbances in the neurodevelopment of pups born to rat mothers vaccinated during gestation:
Compared to the control group of rats injected with harmless saline solution, pups born to Covid-vaccinated mothers displayed a decrease in neuronal counts, a marked reduction in social interaction, and abnormal, repetitive patterns of behaviour. The study authors rightly call that autism-like behaviours.
Researchers used well-accepted tests of rat development to evaluate their sociability and novelty tolerance.
It turns out that male pups affected by the Covid vaccine during gestation were abnormally afraid to socialise and actively avoided novel situations. The authors point out that such maladjustments are “autism-like”. They show the comparison with the control group:
Decreased Neuronal Counts and Cognitive Deficiencies of Male Pups
Sadly, Covid-vaccinated male pups had significantly reduced neuronal counts:
The Covid vaccines decreased neuronal counts by one-third:
The above-mentioned CA3 neurons are responsible for spatial intelligence and general cognition, so they are very important for life success in all mammals, including humans.
As a result of cognitive deficiencies due to a lack of neurons, vaccinated male pups failed to learn as well as their unvaccinated control counterparts, suggesting a learning disability:
An animation of the rotarod rat test is here:
Indeed, male rats born to vaccinated mothers demonstrated impaired abilities:
Specifically, within the group that received the BNT162b2 vaccine during gestation, there was a significant difference between males and females (F = 14.315; p < 0.001), with males exhibiting more pronounced effects as compared to females. Conversely, no such sex difference was evident in the saline control group (F = 0.014; p = 0.907). Additionally, when comparing the BNT162b2 and saline groups within each sex, significant differences were found in males (F = 12.488; p = 0.001) but not in females (F = 0.059; p = 0.810).
A Very Sad Outcome
Please appreciate the plight of the crippled vaccinated male rat pups. They were born with decreased neuronal counts, are fearful of socialising and are resistant to novel situations. It’s a bad combination.
Covid vaccines made them unlikely to grow up into functional adults able to find a mate and establish a happy rodent family.
While I feel sorry for the individual animals affected, I am thankful to the authors who conducted such experiments to highlight the dangers of vaccinating rats with Covid vaccines during pregnancy.
Is it possible that the rat study found a perfect moment in foetal development, a time when giving a Covid vaccine would disrupt foetal brain formation in some subtle ways?
What About Humans?
We were repeatedly told that “vaccines do not cause autism”.
The context of such discussions usually is whether vaccinations after birth can make children autistic. I do not have an opinion on this. I am not required to have an opinion on everything and find such discussions lacking substance and definitions.
It is possible that the term ‘autism’, usually referring to a lifelong developmental pattern beginning with birth, is the wrong one to apply to sudden problems arising shortly after childhood vaccinations.
I am aware of numerous confident authors presenting ‘definite proofs’ of how vaccines cause autism, but I have not yet been convinced of the quality of those ‘proofs’. I also read several official studies demonstrating that vaccines do not cause autism, and they always rely on data unavailable to the public.
In the placebo-controlled animal experiment we are exploring, vaccines (given during pregnancy) do cause autism-like symptoms in lab rats. That does not prove that the same happens during human pregnancies – but this finding raises an alarm. Clearly, they should have done this experiment before vaccinating humans.

Are there any illnesses that vaccines don’t cause?
Nope.

Which country in the western world has the highest (conventional) jab rates and, coincidentally of course, the highest autoimmune disease rate?
And we’re rapidly catching up.
What I think is best put into words by Covaxxing pregnant rats caused humans to diagnose their offspring with ‘autism’¹. More experiments urgently need to be conducted to find out what’s causing this human behaviour change.
¹ Who still haven’t managed to understand the difference between autism and Down syndrome. Here’s a hint: Down syndrome is what causes Swedish teenagers to turn into climate change celebrities, who’ll happily bath in any crowd accepting their intellectual clumsiness.
My two sons are now in their 30s. They both had the MMR jab in the early ’90s, when concern about the link with autism was already being talked about. However, I believed “the authorities” and my GP when she said there was no link.
I wouldn’t believe her now and my sons would not be having the MMR.
And the USA is still recommending them in children! About the only good that may come out the Post Office scandal is that big business isn’t to be trusted. Certainly not taken at face value.
Well I’m not going to blame the death jab entirely here, especially as they’re including the year 2020, but look how quick the author puts the blame on Covid. Hasn’t this been debunked yonks ago?
”Between 2020 and 2022, 293 women in the UK died during pregnancy or within 42 days of the end of their pregnancy. With 21 deaths classified as coincidental, 272 in 2,028,543 pregnancies resulted in a maternal death rate of 13.41 per 100,000.
This is a steep rise from the 8.79 deaths per 100,000 pregnancies in 2017 to 2019, the most recent three-year period with complete data. The death rate has increased to levels not seen since 2003 to 2005.
The main cause of death was thrombosis and thromboembolism, or blood clots in the veins.
The second most common cause was Covid-19. But even when deaths due to Covid were excluded, the maternal death rate for 2020 to 2022 – 11.54 per 100,000 pregnancies – remained higher than the rate for 2017 to 2019.
Heart disease and deaths related to poor mental health were also common, according to a review of the data by the Guardian.”

When cash goes it is game over as I have stated repeatedly.
There’s another aspect to that: Every electronic payment transaction ends up creating a permanent record of who bought what where at which time for which price in the global computer network. Everytime somebody pays “with card”, he basically submits a new surveillance record about what he’s currently doing and where he is.
Shouldn’t studies like this been done before medical authorities and practitioners pressured pregnant woman into take the jabs?? On the other hand, a little critical thinking would have helped. If a pregnant woman knows to be careful about the type of cheese she eats, then surely she should have thought twice about a rushed medical intervention. Does anyone know the percentage of pregnant women who refused the jab? Do we have studies on babies born to women who took the jab before they became pregnant?
I remember Karol Sikura on GB News one night, adamantly saying “Has everyone forgotten about Thalidomide?” Why does nobody listen to people like him?
“What do you think?”
Bring back Andrew Wakefield all is forgiven.
