It is, as McGill's Jonathan Jarry wrote and as Yale's Omer told us, a classic example of the appeal-to-nature fallacy that invokes the primacy of natural solutions, mechanisms, or substances over those deemed unnatural and human created. Unless I am scientifically proven wrong, it is difficult to understand how current human interventions will prevent circulating variants from turning into a wild monster. Its not an instantaneous solution, as massive vaccination campaigns require manufacturing and deployment at scale, but its a fix we know well and have implemented in the past. The world now stands at a crossroads again. One can easily extrapolate this scourge to resistance to our self-made antiviral antibiotics. In my new book, The inescapable immune escape pandemic, I am sharing my insights and perspectives on how the Covid-19 pandemic continues to evolve. On today's show Dr. Ben discusses with Dr. Geert how we got it wrong by implementing a mass vaccination campaign in the middle of a pandemic. A BBC fact check of Vanden Bossche's claim was deemed "false" with multiple vaccine experts saying large scale vaccinations were more likely to weaken the COVID-19 virus, not cause it to mutate to to a morte lethal variant. So its not surprising that Dr. Vanden Bossches letter reminds me of Andrew Wakefields warning about the MMR vaccine. Geert then moved on to join the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundations Global health discovery team in seattle (USA) as senior Program officer. However, even if this phenomenon occurs with a human vaccineit doesnt, as far as we knowthats an even more compelling reason to be vaccinated. Vaccinating during a pandemic is "unthinkable" and is causing deaths, the winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize for Medicine said. Brief content visible, double tap to read full content. A vaccine shows your body an inert part of the virus so that it can make neutralizing antibodies against it. The resulting type of immune response is unprecedented and licenses the host immune system to readily eliminate infection or to cure disease across a broad range of unrelated pathogens and/ or mammalian species. Coordinated Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation's Ebola Vaccine Program and contributed to the implementation of an integrated vaccine work plan in collaboration with Global Health Partners (WHO, Bill \u0026 Melinda Gates Foundation, CDC, UNICEF), regulators (FDA) and vaccine manufacturers to enable timely deployment or stockpiling of Ebola vaccine candidates.Sharing his perspective on mass vaccination in COVID-19.You can support us with a financial contribution through Patreon. An example of a leaky vaccine is the vaccine against Mareks disease, highly contagious and deadly viral disease of chicken that is a major problem in the poultry industry, and Dr. Vanden Bossche relies on this precedent, as Nirenberg explains: For a moment though, lets entertain the notion that the vaccines are leaky. The mechanism he invokes is that vaccine-produced antibodies will "outcompete" the more general defenses of the innate immune system. Whats particularly dangerous about Dr. Vanden Bossches misinformation is that, on the surface, he appears to be a vaccine expert, whom antivaxxers touting his open letter (and all the follow-up science hes been Tweeting and posting to his website) have been describing as a worlds expert in vaccines. As a creative thinker, innovator, entrepreneur and visionary, Geert has been invited to speak at multiple international congresses. 1996-2023, Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates, The Kindle title is not currently available for purchase. SOURCE: Geert Vanden Bossche, Children's Health Defense, The HighWire. (Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan) Director, Research Program Leader and Head of Adjuvants . Vanden Bosche argues that widespread vaccination will put evolutionary pressure on the viruses to develop adaptations in this case changes to the spike protein that allows the virus to infect cells in a way that will allow it to escape the vaccine's protection. No need to panic. Vanden Bossche has achieved some public attention for publiciz-ing an open letter to the World Health Orga-nization opposing vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2; his letter has been seized upon by advocates against vaccination as it seems to (Indeed, thus far, it appears that this is the case.) Ill refer you to Nirenbergs demolition of Dr. Vanden Bossches nonsense about innate immunity, as he explains why its nonsense better than I can. In general, you would have a hard time identifying any human vaccine that could be called leaky (though emerging findings regarding influenza vaccines give hints that there may be a leaky vaccine effect involved, given their excellent efficacy among children, who are critical vectors, I am not so convinced- though if we do grant that they are leaky, this only serves to undermine Bossches argument). Thats antibiotic resistance. ", The notion that lockdowns have weakened our innate immune system is equally without basis. If the virus manages to do so, it can benefit from the (momentarily) suppressed innate immunity, thereby causing disease in an increasing number of these subjects and ensuring its own propagation. Theres even grift likely involved! However, increasingly clear evidence exists that the current COVID-19 vaccines reduce transmission, as well as the amount of viral material available for shedding, even in asymptomatic cases. If the body ends up making low levels of these antibodies, i.e. When this happens, the immune system has to rely on more specialized effectors of our immune system (i.e., antigen-specific Abs and T cells) to fight the pathogen. However, Dr. Vincent Iannelli asked the question, Who is Geert Vanden Bossche? too and isunimpressed. Some of these copies may by chance have the right kinds of errors in their genetic code to become variants of concern, although the mutation rate of this coronavirus is quite low. He has a long list of companies and organizations he's worked with on vaccine discovery and preclinical research, including GSK, Novartis, Solvay Biologicals, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Encontre diversos livros escritos por Vanden Bossche MD Phd, Geert com timos preos. Therefore he has zero credibility when it comes to advising the public or anyone else about how to avoid negative effects of mass vaccination. It is caused by a herpesvirus and it gives chickens a number of health problems, including cancer. All of these variants were discovered prior to any widespread vaccination program. By educating these cells in ways that enable them to durably recognize and target Coronavirus-infected cells, our immune system could be perfectly armed for a targeted atack to the universe of Coronaviruses prior to exposure. He held adjunct faculty appointments at universities in Belgium and Germany. Follow authors to get new release updates, plus improved recommendations. (Vanden Bossche did not respond to a detailed list of questions sent by Snopes on March 23, 2021.). Specifically, scientists have long been pointing out that, the more we let COVID-19 circulate, the more likely virus variants that can escape the immune response to the vaccine (and/or to natural infection) are to emerge, and they use this argument as a rationale for vaccinating as many people as possible as fast as possible, in order to slow that circulation of the virus to as low a rate as possible, thus reducing the opportunities for strains resistant to the vaccine and strains able to re-infect previously infected people to emerge. After all, as Nirenberg and the review article I quoted above note, while it is true that variants of concern demonstrate reduced antibody neutralization, we do not as yet have an absolute correlate regarding how high an antibody level is required to be protective, making the practical meaning of this observation difficult to determine. On Kindle Scribe, you can add sticky notes to take handwritten notes in supported book formats. As I like to say, if you ever write anything that channels Andrew Wakefield, you really should reconsider your life choices. It has been observed that over time Mareks disease virus has become more virulent, and this has been attributed classically to a leaky vaccine effect. While one can barely make any incorrect scientific statements without being criticized by peers, it seems like the elite of scientists who are currently advising our world leaders prefer to stay silent. Natural Abs are not germ-specific whereas acquired Abs are specifically directed at the invading pathogen. Quote: Selectve viral immune escape is, for example, known to occur when the neutralizing capacity ofAg (antgen-)specifc serum antbodies (Abs) does not sufce to fully eliminate highly . "The food you eat isnt sterile, he explained, the dust you inhale isnt sterile, the water you drink isnt sterile.. Geert Vanden Bossche Stokes Fear of COVID-19 Vaccine To Promote His Own Flawed 'Solution' Anti-vaccine activists are promoting a veterinarian's claim that the only way to prevent a future. Ultimately, most vaccines are based on a recombinant spike protein sequence. Vanden Bossche is using an eerily similar argument about COVID-19 vaccines and SARS-CoV-2, he wrote for the blog Science-Based Medicine, to the one used by Wakefield about [the measles-mumps-rubella] vaccine and measles. Dr. Vanden Bossche has become world famous for warning Humanity against the health danger of conducting mass vaccination programs during a pandemic. The estimated length is calculated using the number of page turns on a Kindle, using settings to closely represent a physical book. by Geert Vanden Bossche, an independent virologist and self-described vaccine expert, attacking my letter. He subsequently worked with the Global alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GaVI) in Geneva as senior ebola Program Manager and with the German center for Infection Research in Cologne as Head of the Vaccine Development Office. The #CoronavirusFacts database records . . Mass vaccination will only work if the vaccine prevents or decreases transmission; i.e., if it is not leaky (although he doesnt use the term). But if you have a full and overpowering army at your command, the invaders wont stick around for long. GENEVA/NEW YORK, 15 July 2020 - The World Health Organization and UNICEF warned today of an alarming decline in the number of children receiving life-saving vaccines around the world. Originally Posted by MissTerri Geert Vanden Bosch didn't use Del Bigtree or JFK jr. to spread his message. This is not all that impressive, given that Snopes could only identify two patent applications in Vanden Bossche's name both for "immunologic formulations" and both of these patents, records indicate, had their "applications terminated before publication.". Experts and politicians have remained silent while obviously still eager to talk about relaxing infection prevention rules and springtime freedom. Without vaccines, the virus is allowed to jump from person to person and make imperfect copies of itself, and this flawed replication process is like a worldwide game of Russian roulette. Find Geert: https://www.geertvandenbossche.org/ https://twitter.com/GVDBossche As a creative thinker, innovator, entrepreneur and visionary, Geert has been invited to speak at multiple international congresses. In their lengthy medical op-ed on LifeSite News, Dr. Paul Alexander and Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche warn the public health decision makers that the mass vaccination program that uses "imperfect non . There is a reason why a new flu vaccine is made each year: the influenza virus drifts and shifts and the vaccine needs to be reformulated to be a better match for the specific viruses that are predicted to be common during the next flu season. Maybe. My statements are based on nothing else but science. Geert Vanden Bossche, PhD Geert Vanden Bossche, PhD, DVM, is a vaccine research expert. . Geert Vanden Bossche is a scientist who published an open letter warning of global catastrophe due to deadly variants of COVID-19 selected for by mass vaccination. As the virus spreads, it mutates here and there and new variants of concern emerge. Let me try to explain this by means of a more easily understood phenomenon: Antimicrobial resistance. He asserts that his statements "are based on nothing else but science." It won't be easy for everyone to to hear their mistakes. These assumptions come without scientific studies or data to support them and indeed are not always reasonable. One benefit of several current COVID-19 vaccines, most notably the mRNA vaccines, is that they can be easily modified to induce the development of antibodies programmed specifically to deal with whatever new variants crop up. VERDICT. Before this open letter, I hadnt recalled ever having heard of Dr. Vanden Bossche before, so I looked around. Theres abundant evidence that Vanden Bossche has a not-so-hidden agenda. 'Mass vaccination campaigns conducted on a background of high infectivity rates will dramatically increase the likelihood of previously asymptomatically . Thus if evidence emerges that particular variants do appear to influence vaccine efficacy, it should be possible to periodically reformulate the vaccines so that they better match the circulating strains. But even if the COVID-19 vaccines were leaky, meaning they still allowed some vaccinated people to transmit the virus to others, there is evidence that they could still efficiently contain the spread of the disease. If you claim to be not antivaccine but your message is so attractive to a rabid antivaxxer and leader of the antivaccine movement like Del Bigtree that he spends an hour promoting it, you are either deluding yourself about being not antivaccine, or youre a useful idiot for the antivaccine movement, possibly both.
