Do mRNA Vaccines Create Dangerous, Contagious Prions?!

Claim : mRNA Vaccines Create Dangerous, Contagious Prions!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The Expose (formerly The Daily Expose), which claims or suggests that mRNA vaccines create contagious prions that cause neurodegenerative diseases!

Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Prions caused by mRNA injections may be contagious

Mounting research suggests a serious side effect of the covid mRNA injections could be dementia, and the prions that cause it may be contagious.

Frameshifting, as we now know occurs in the covid injections, can induce prion production and lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (“CJD”).

Sid Belzberg’s prions.rip website, which collected data on neurological side effects post-injection, found a notably high incidence of diagnosed CJD cases, suggesting an alarming trend.

A series of articles highlight biases in clinical trials and observational studies, suggesting covid-19 vaccines’ safety and effectiveness have been massively overstated.

The Global Covid Vaccine Safety Project study – funded by the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention – reveals significant side effects, including myocarditis, pericarditis, and blood clots, underscoring the need for re-evaluation of covid vaccine risks and benefits.

According to mounting data, one of the more serious side effects of the covid mRNA injections appears to be dementia, and worse yet, this previously untransmissible disease may now be “contagious,” transmissible by way of prions.

In my 2021 interview with Stephanie Seneff, PhD, she explained why she suspected the covid shots may eventually result in an avalanche of neurological prion-based diseases such as Alzheimer’s. She also published a paper detailing those mechanisms in the May 10, 2021, issue of the International Journal of Vaccine Theory.

In summary, the take-home from Seneff’s paper is that the covid shots, offered to hundreds of millions of people, are instruction sets for your body to make a toxic protein that will eventually wind up concentrated in your spleen, from where prion-like protein instructions will be sent out, leading to neurodegenerative diseases.

Truth : mRNA Vaccines Do Not Create Dangerous, Contagious Prions!

This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The Expose, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : mRNA Vaccines Do Not Create Prions

Let me start by pointing out that mRNA vaccines do not create prions or cause prion diseases, which are transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) – brain disorders caused by prion proteins.

Even though anti-vaccine activists continue to make that claim, they have provided no evidence to back that up. The two papers quoted in the The Expose article do not prove that mRNA vaccines create prions:

The Bart J. Classen paper was just a 2.5-page opinion piece, without any actual evidence, that was published in a journal that is not only listed in the Beall’s list of predatory publishers, it is not even indexed in PubMed!

The Idrees and Kumar study, on the other hand, referred only to the S1 spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but not the COVID-19 vaccines. Why? Because COVID-19 vaccines do not travel to the brain, whereas COVID-19 infections can and do enter the brain.

On top of that, the Idrees and Kumar study did not claim that the S1 spike protein created prions, or caused prion diseases. It only stated that the S1 spike protein might cause the aggregation (clumping) or “heparin-binding proteins”, which can lead to the degeneration of the brain.

So why on Earth would anyone claim that mRNA vaccines create prions, or cause prion diseases? Where is the evidence???

Fact #2 : No Evidence SARS-CoV-2 Virus Can Create Prions

The spike protein is both the “uniform” and the “weapon” of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The crown (corona) of protein spikes is what gives the virus family its distinctive appearance and name – coronavirus, and it is how the virus attaches to our cells and gains entry.

If the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein truly has multiple binding areas that can create prion proteins, then the virus itself would actually cause prion diseases!

As of 8 May 2021, there have been over 161 million cases of COVID-19 globally, with over 3.34 million deaths. There have been ZERO cases of prion diseases associated with COVID-19 infections.

If the COVID-19 coronavirus cannot even create prions, or cause prion diseases, then how can COVID-19 vaccines create prions, or cause prion diseases???

Fact #3 : All COVID-19 Vaccines Use Spike Protein

As I pointed out in my earlier article, COVID-19 vaccines are designed to specifically target the spike protein because :

it is the defining feature of the SARS-CoV-2 virus
antibodies targeting it will block the virus from binding with our cells

Regardless of what vaccine technology is used for COVID-19, the focus is to present the virus spike protein to the immune system, because it is exposed on the cell surface, and presents as a major antigen. Antibodies against the spike protein would also help to block the virus from attaching to our cells, and infecting them.

If the spike protein is what creates prions, or causes prion diseases, then all COVID-19 vaccines would create prions, or cause prion diseases, not just mRNA vaccines!

Yet, that is obviously not the case – no COVID-19 vaccine, whether based on mRNA or other technologies, create prions, or cause prion diseases.

Fact #4 : Viruses Multiply, Vaccines Won’t

I should also point out that if the spike protein is so dangerous, then it is even more important to get vaccinated against COVID-19. After all, viruses multiply, while the vaccines won’t!

Even if we simply look at the mRNA vaccines alone, they contain a limited number of mRNA instructions that encode for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The mRNA instructions enter a limited number of cells, which then produce and display those spike proteins on their surfaces, to trigger our immune system.

If you are infected by the actual SARS-CoV-2 virus though, it quickly hijacks your cells to produce millions of copies – each covered with spike proteins, which then infect even more cells, in an ever-expanding chain reaction.

Until your immune system learns to stop and defeat the SARS-CoV-2 virus, it will keep producing millions and millions of viruses that will circulate through your body, delivering those nasty spike proteins everywhere.

So if you are really worried about the spike protein, you should really get vaccinated against COVID-19!

Fact #5 : The Expose Is Known For Fake News

Like Real Raw News and The People’s Voice, The Daily Expose is a website that capitalises on making shocking but fake or misleading stories to generate page views and money. It was later rebranded as The Expose.

Founded in November 2020 by Jonathan Allen-Walker – a welder from Lincolnshire, The Expose / Daily Expose is infamous for publishing COVID-19 and vaccine misinformation.

Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news or misinformation, so you should NEVER share anything from Daily Expose / The Expose. Here are some of its stories that I personally debunked earlier:

Everything posted by The Expose / Daily Expose must be considered fake news, until proven otherwise.

Can Pfizer Vaccine Cause Prion / Alzheimer’s Disease?!

Classen Study : Pfizer Vaccine Can Potentially Induce Prion Disease

The journal Microbiology & Infectious Diseases just published a “research article” by J. Bart Classen, MD of Classen Immunotherapies.

This paper claims to have found that the Pfizer mRNA vaccine could potentially induce prion disease that would lead to the development of common neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and Alzheimer’s disease.

SHOCK! HORROR! OMG!

Now, take a minute to let the shock and horror subside, before you read on and find out what the facts really are…

Pfizer mRNA Vaccine Does NOT Cause Prion / Alzheimer’s Disease!

Here is the short version – there is no evidence that mRNA vaccines cause prion or neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s or ALS.

The truth is – the Classen study is not even a “study”, much less a research paper. It is just a 2.5-page opinion piece that makes a lot of bombastic claims, with ZERO evidence to back them up.

Unsurprisingly, it is only published in Microbiology & Infectious Diseases. Sounds impressive, but it is “not a reputable or reliable journal“, as Georgetown University virologist, Dr. Angela Rasmussen notes.

Dr. David Gorski, professor of surgery and oncology at Wayne State University concurred, pointing out that Microbiology & Infectious Diseases is listed in the Beall’s list of predatory publishers, and is not even indexed in PubMed.

But let’s go through J. Bart Classen’s claims, and find out what the facts really are…

Fact #1 : Prion Diseases Are Transmissible Misfolded Proteins

Prion diseases are transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) – brain disorders caused by prion proteins.

These are basically misfolded proteins that causes other proteins to fold themselves into the same shape.

Think of the prion protein as Agent Smith in Matrix Revolution, turning everyone he touches into a clone of himself.

Most people will have heard of Mad Cow Disease – Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), and you may have heard of the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Kuru. These are all prion diseases.

Fact #2 : The Spike Protein Is From The SARS-CoV-2 Virus

The spike protein is both the “uniform” and the “weapon” of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

The crown (corona) of protein spikes is what gives the virus family its distinctive appearance and name – coronavirus, and it is how the virus attaches to our cells and gains entry.

If the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein truly has multiple binding areas that can create prion proteins, then the virus itself would actually cause prion diseases!

As of 8 May 2021, there have been over 161 million cases of COVID-19 globally, with over 3.34 million deaths.

There have been ZERO cases of prion diseases associated with COVID-19 infections.

Fact #3 : Many COVID-19 Vaccines Use The Spike Protein

It is odd that Classen would focus on RNA-based vaccines, particularly Pfizer. After all, many other COVID-19 vaccines also target the spike protein.

As I pointed out in my earlier article, many COVID-19 vaccines are designed to specifically target the spike protein because :

it is the defining feature of the SARS-CoV-2 virus
antibodies targeting it will block the virus from binding with our cells

If Classen is correct that the spike protein induces prion disease, then it would be true of ALL vaccines that mimic the spike protein.

Yet, after over 680 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered (as of 13 May 2021), there have been ZERO reports of prion disease associated with any COVID-19 vaccine.

Fact #4 : RNA Binding Protein Is Not RNA / mRNA

Classen used this 2012 study to push the narrative that RNA binding proteins have been “shown” to cause “a number of neurological diseases including Alzheimer’s disease and ALS”, specifically TDP-43 and FUS.

The trouble is the study he used did not actually prove that those RNA binding proteins cause prion disease, much less Alzheimer’s disease or ALS or any other neurological disorders.

The study merely used an algorithm to “scour the human genome” to identify “RNA-binding prion candidates” for further investigations.

More importantly though – the study he referred to identified RNA binding proteins with prion-like domains, not RNA and certainly not mRNA which is used in … tadaa… mRNA vaccines.

That is like saying that since some dog breeds are potentially dangerous, cats and hamsters are therefore also potentially dangerous. Really???

Fact #5 : mRNA Vaccines Do NOT Enter Our Cell Nucleus

I have pointed this out many times before – the mRNA instructions in the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines do NOT enter the cell nucleus (where our DNA resides).

They are only read and used by the cell ribosomes in the cytoplasm (outside of the nucleus) to create the spike proteins, before being discarded.

This point is important because the two RNA binding proteins that Classen kept pointing out either predominantly exists in the nucleus (TDP-43) or can only be found inside the nucleus (FUS).

How is it possible for mRNA or the spike protein it creates interact with TDP-43 or FUS inside the cell nucleus, if they never enter the “locked room” that is the cell nucleus?

Fact #6 : Vaccine Spike Protein Do NOT Bind With ACE2 Receptor

After our cell ribosomes create the spike proteins, they are presented on the cell surface, to trigger the immune system.

These faux spike proteins do NOT bind with the ACE2 receptor, since they are actually part of the same cell surface as the ACE2 receptor.

Only the spike protein of a real SARS-CoV-2 virus will actually bind with the ACE2 receptor, in order to infect the cell.

Fact #7 : No Evidence Zinc Causes TDP-43 To Go Prion

There is simply no evidence that a zinc ion turns on TDP-43’s “pathologic prion transformation”.

Plus, zinc ions exist in all our cells – it is critical for cell division and growth, and our immune system.

These zinc ions would have turned on TDP-43’s prion tendencies long before any SARS-CoV-2 spike protein comes close to the ACE2 receptor!

Fact #8 : ACE2 Receptor Is On The Cell Surface…

As Dr. David Gorski brilliantly points out, the ACE2 receptor is on the cell surface, while the TDP-43 exists in the cell nucleus.

Think of the ACE2 receptor as the door to your house, and the TDP-43 is inside your locked bedroom. How does the zinc ion fly from the main door up the stairs, through the locked door into your bedroom?

By magic? Unfortunately, Classen did not elaborate how this miracle was achieved.
