“I Will Not Be Taking the Current Vaccines
After being in the "hesitant" category for several months I am now in the "no" category. As a retired medical doctor I have plenty of time, and a genuine fascination, to thoroughly research this topic. I have been diligently reviewing every scientific journal I can find, reading every online news article I come across, and going through countless case reports on the CDC VAERS website. I now have a clearer understanding of how these vaccines influence our immune system and organs and how they cause the multiple short, medium, and long term adverse effects.
I am convinced that the benefits promoted by experts on TV regarding these vaccines are much less than what they promise, and the adverse reactions are significantly more than they want us to believe. The effects of these vaccines on the human body are infinitely more complex than anyone can imagine... a million shades of gray, you may say.”
Collaboration.
“I want to thank my friend Ronik Khachatoorian, Ph.D., a brilliant molecular biologist, who has helped me better understand these complex processes. Ronik is an expert in the metabolic function of the liver, protein synthesis, immunology, and viruses -- he spent years studying dengue and zika viral reproduction. We chat on the phone several times a week but we still haven't figured out whether spike proteins are made in significant amounts in other tissues and organs of the body -- besides the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and deltoid muscle (and probably bone marrow and ovaries). But even if small amounts are made in those places, and the spike proteins present themselves on the surface of cells, they could cause damage by themselves or initiate an immune reaction against them, causing additional damage. Ronik and I make a good team. I have a general medicine background which helps me see things from a broad, clinical perspective -- like the whole elephant -- and he helps me understand how things work at the cellular level. Ronik has calculated a rough estimate on how many spike proteins are made. He based this on the peak level of the spike proteins in the blood, their molecular weight, an estimate of each mRNA strand translating one spike protein every two minutes, that there are trillions of mRNA strands injected into the deltoid muscle, and that translation occurs for a week or so. The count could easily be a minimum of hundreds of trillions of spike proteins being made within that time frame. Of course this varies widely among individuals. The young with healthy livers and lymph nodes make much more than the elderly. It is impossible to know the exact numbers. We welcome other molecular biologists to offer their thoughts. You can find info about Ronik on LinkedIn.’
Blood Clots.
‘In some individuals the spike proteins may initiate blood clots. Spike proteins are thought to trigger platelets to clump together (platelet aggregation). Clots in our blood vessels can be tiny and not cause any problems and eventually dissolve; or, over time, grow big enough to travel to the brain causing a stroke, travel to the heart causing a heart attack, to the lungs causing pulmonary embolisms, form in blood vessels in the abdomen, or the clots can form in blood vessels in the legs causing a DVT, deep vein thrombosis. Sometimes they may be small and travel and lodge in different parts of our organs and not cause any noticeable effect (or mild, difficult to pinpoint symptoms), but nevertheless do minor damage to our organs. When the media mentions the "rare" cases of blood clots they do not acknowledge the possibility of countless small clots that go undetected. There could also be antibodies against platelets which could cause clot formation and/or a low platelet count leading to bleeding. AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson both have spike proteins on their viral vector which also trigger clots and, overall, cause similar adverse reactions. Keep in mind the possibility that not all batches of the vaccines are made perfectly. There could be some that have suboptimal numbers of mRNA strands, others may have more, and still others may have imperfect mRNA strands that translate spike proteins shaped differently than what we expect. This could have unknown consequences. I am also learning about spike proteins binding to ACE2 receptors on cells which are found predominanty in the cells lining the blood vessels, heart, lungs, kidneys, and intestines. I have recently learned that ACE2 receptors are also found on nerve cells in the brain and throughout the body which may explain the variety of nerve-related side effects people are experiencing (see the side effects page). Sometimes I wonder if a more appropriate name for an mRNA injection is SPEM, spike protein expressing material.”
Note:
‘I retired in 2018 and was traveling around the world when this pandemic started. Friends and family kept asking me about the benefits and safety of these vaccines and wanted an honest opinion, so I began to look into it. The deeper I delved, the more I wanted to solve the puzzle. I originally placed this article on my personal Facebook Ray Sahelian page and it had more than 1,500 shares. Then, without warning, on Sunday April 18 (my post originally was placed on March 17), I woke up to see that the page, with dozens of references to medical journal articles, had been deleted. So I moved it here (luckily a friend had copied the article and emailed it to me). I think this is a reasonable and well-thought-out article. I am not comforted that FB deleted it without giving any warnings or reasons other than it "violated community standards." Are scientists not allowed to voice opinions that diverge from the currently accepted and potentially politically motivated narrative, especially on a topic with such limited understanding? So I opened an additional account on MeWe where info is not censored. Feel free to Follow me on Facebook, or friend me on MeWe; there are groups that discuss Covid vaccine adverse reactions without censorship. The information below the line has not been updated since 2019.”
