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.

Informative graph, but Pakistan and Bangladesh notably absent – camouflaged by British citizenship and/or difficult to track stats for non-citizens?
They are on the chart. Both names overlaying each other, mixed in with Nigeria and Slovakia.
Okay thanks, gotcha.
They are overwritten bottom left, just above Latvia and Slovakia.
The question is, what are our authorities going to do with this table? Ignore it, I suppose.
Just look at US crime statistics by race.
Bit of a change of tack from Farage here;
“But it is our intention, ultimately, that if you’ve come illegally, you should not be able to stay.”
”Nigel Farage has announced a change in Reform UK’s policy on illegal immigration, now seeming to support, at least in principle, the mass deportation of ALL illegal immigrants in Britain.
“I know the problem is huge, because there are an estimated 1.2 million people here illegally. And going beyond the last 100,000 is not going to be an easy job. It’s going to be one hell of a battle, and we know that the state, the apparatus of state, will fight us at every point.”
This follows his comments last year, in an interview with Steven Edginton on GB News, where he said it was not his ambition to deport all illegal immigrants, saying “it is a political impossibility.”
During the press conference, Farage also said:
“We will bring a total end to all asylum claims from people who have come here on travel visas, or who are overseas students.”
“We will demand the deportation of all foreign criminals.”
He promises Reform will appoint a Minister for Deportations if the win the next general election.
He also suggests the citizenship of foreign nationals given the right to remain in Britain may be revisited if they commit crimes.
Are Reform listening to criticism that they have softened on immigration lately?
Farage promises further policy announcements in three-to-four weeks’ time.”

They are still building the policy platform, and so some fluidity in the detail is to be expected.
Is that Neil-speak for Nigel’s flip flopping? He seems to be blowing in the wind these days, particularly since his chairman bought his way in and they set up yet another limited company together
Nationalities don’t commit crimes. People commit crimes and people also have a nationality. That there are lots of Albanian criminals in the UK doesn’t meant lots of Albanians are criminals (they might or might not be but nothing about this follows from the initial observation).
You’re right, but at a group level, some groups are more inclined than others to certain behaviours. The much more interesting question is what do you do with the information. There are various options, none of which will be followed.
Groups have no behaviour. If some set of people is artificially partioned into some set groups and one then looks for a certain propery among group members, the rate of occurence of the property will vary between the artificially created groups, as it would also vary for any other conceivable artificial partition. This is essentially historical information of no conceivable use beyond being descriptive for the period of time which is covered.
In addition to this, the population numbers used to calculate the imprisonment rates are estimates aka guesses as the actual numbers are unknown and the rates are really pretty low. Eg, according to the Noah Carl article, 70.3 of every 1000 Albanians in the UK are in prison. That’s 7.03% which means that about 13.2 Albanians in the UK aren’t in prison for every Albanian in the UK who is.
If you have an idea what should be done to these 13 Albanians because of the 1 Albanian in prison, I’d like to know about it. My idea would be nothing.
I would stop all immigration for a few centuries. If I ever restarted it I would favour races that had a track record of developing advanced civilisations whose history and culture were similar to ours- basically, white Europeans. I believe that would make our country a better place to live in than alternative approaches. As to those already here, deport all illegals and cut back welfare hoping that at least some of those making a negative contribution would decide to leave. Deport all foreign criminals.
That’s principally something I agree with. But not because of statistics like the one mentioned in this article which I consider essentially meaningless minus better truisms like Operations of criminals are more mobile than those of people who aren’t.
Kind of welcome but only a baby step in the right direction.
Valuable chiefly as an indication that the political weather is finally starting to change on this vital issue.
Long long way to go.
