I’m not sure making fun of rubes is productive. Consider how long it took for the authorities to conclude the primary mode of transmission was aerosol. Consider that people were detained by police for being outdoors in fresh air. Or consider how long it took to admit that vaccinated people could still spread the virus. If you are going to mock people for being wrong, be prepared to look in the mirror.

Of course, you are correct because the payload stays in the deltoid muscle and is almost immediately drained to the lymph-nodes and contained and removed so efficiently... oh snap. None of that was true.

Thanks to the lipid nanoparticles the mRNA goes absolutely everywhere in the body almost immediately and thanks to the pseudouridine the mRNA lasts quite a bit longer than we were told.

In fact, spike production has been seen at 6 months post injection. Was that the limit of its persistence? Nope. Just the limit of their will to test for it.

Well, I guess it's a good thing that the spike protein is harmless. Oh, wait, that wasn't true either. It is the dangerous part of the virus.

Of course, since it has no live virus, it can not replicate... but isn't it simply using the human cells to produce more of itself. Yes, so the virus is no longer needed thanks to the ongoing spike transfection.

Well, at least it's not like the human cells are producing spike protein at higher levels than the virus was when it was killing people... um... oops?

but I guess we'll have to go on faith that the shedding bit isn't happening. Although I can not imagine why it wouldn't be. It has to go someplace, right?

Considering the ridiculous pile of fails ya'll have stacked up so far, you gotta be right about this. I mean, that whole broken clock ratio has got to work out for you at some point.. Also, I am certain you spent more time studying what could go wrong, than you did writing self owning articles in ignorance in a valiant attempt to belittle people who do not have your credentials nor your really big... um... brain. I mean , all they have is the scientific method, while you have a piece of paper that someone signed that says that you don't have to follow such silly rules any more.

ps. Just out of curiosity, are you a member of MENSA? I have this really bad feeling that our public health apparatchik and self proclaimed elite academic class is populated almost entirely by people who willingly sent $100 to an organization in exchange for a card worth a nickel that said they were geniuses...

There are extremes on both sides of the vaccine debate. I just want more transparency and nuance in our leaders communications.

Dr. Offit likes to present himself as someone intelligent enough to filter through the various theories presented, and report to you the “truth“. In this case, he is harping on the most crazy of the crazy in order to obfuscate legitimate criticism and concerns.

I don’t know if shedding is a serious risk or not, but I would not dismiss it. Pfizer certainly seemed to consider it sufficient risk to advise vaccinated men to avoid sex during the study.

Equating it to other mRNA is cavalier also. Other mRNA is not stabilised through m-pseudouridine substitution, and hence considerably more fragile & short lived. Nor is it encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles.

Finally there is evidence that unvaccinated children of vaccinated parents can have vaccine induced antibodies. How does that happen?

An abundance of caution would seem like the correct approach to me, rather than the “let’s jab everyone, at risk and not at risk, previously infected or not, with a product we don’t properly understand, are not evaluating properly and with no serious QC in place” you seem to be advocating Offit.

I cannot imagine what they are "smoking" or imbibing to come up with these truly hair-brained ideas about the hazards of vaccination. That others accept these flagrantly absurd and untrue allegations is a tragedy.

In case anyone interested Rebekah studies say nothing negative about vaccines, actually addresses basic biology, such as infectious agents can be found in exhaled breathe. Wow! THATS crazy. The fake dr site she references is basically flood the zone with shit site. Bunch of studies some good (nature one) but most published in questionable journals.

Another article shilling his new book. Offit probably thinks he chose something so ridiculous, that it couldn't possibly be true. The truth though is that we still don't know whether this is true. Although rather inconveniently for him, there are case reports that say otherwise, so it IS possible, even if rare (and as someone pointed out, why would you prevent people in the Pfizer trial from having intercourse if this couldn't possibly happen, the only answer is they didn't know or they already knew at that stage that this was at least a possibility).

It's accepted now the lipid nanoparticles go everywhere and very early on too, thanks to the Japanese biodistribution study (subsequently it seems the blood brain barrier and even possibly the placenta seem to be readily crossed), despite being told that it stayed in the arm. This in itself should be extremely concerning, but somehow it is not, (but that's for another day)... If it goes everywhere, then why not into secretions. Can you say with any amount of confidence they don't go there? I don't think so.

The utterly ridiculous choice of the spike as the replication target (because it itself has at least some toxicity, and also because it is one of the fastest mutating parts of the virus, essentially ensuring ineffectiveness and probably ADE as well), ensure that even if the lipid nanoparticles themselves weren't shed, the spike also could be, causing any number of untold reactions. Yes it has a much shorter half life than the modRNA but there's a heck of a lot more of it. Certainly there are many reports of breastfeeding mothers and those who had intercourse with those receiving the vaccine, of very unusual adverse reactions in the unvaccinated babies and partners. Without one of these mechanisms happening, it would be impossible to find any adverse reactions or antibodies to the vaccine spike in those who are unvaccinated, but you do.

Anyway, it's always worth mentioning that Offit can't even bring himself to take any more covid vaccines himself, so honestly, at this point I don't know why anyone bothers listening to him. After literally being wrong about almost everything, can you blame people for being sceptical, especially when you can't even bring yourself to take the products you're shilling for. Don't you want to save granny you hypocrite.

How come you didn’t address the studies on Covid vaccine shedding? Your argument would be more convincing if you were to refute the publicly available evidence. I don’t think readers have much appetite to simply taking Experts’ word for it these days. https://open.substack.com/pub/amidwesterndoctor/p/unraveling-the-mystery-of-mrna-vaccine?r=jufg5&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

And as previously discussed, when public health agencies treat good and decent citizens this deceitfully and cruelly, there will be consequences.

Paul, if you are serious about gaining public trust then you have to deal with the reality of what our government agencies have done.

By the FDA not responding to what happened to Maddie De Garay they only further that distrust .

“The center for countering digital hate” a.k.a. the center for countering speech I don’t like...

when you kept loved ones from being with their families/friends as they were being murdered with protocols in hospitals, you created your so-called SNL skits. That’s just one of many examples! I am not an advocate of Mike Adams. I’m trying to use the Bible for discernment of current events and thus had to stop listening to his noise a long time ago.

Your new book seems to be loaded with you picking out and poking at as much sensationalized topics from the “anti-vax” side as you can find. But you and yours created all of this!

Vaccine acquired paralytic polio was once considered ridiculously implausible as well.

The “vaccine” was never tested to see if it stoped transmission of the virus. The 95% effective was at reducing hospitalization which means you created asymptomatic carriers of the virus. They were absolutely correct in using caution since transmission is possible in the vaccinated. To ridicule them for using caution is cowardly. I am ashamed for you Paul.

all based upon the assumption that there was some sort of "deadly Plague" in the form of "COVID"

however, what if the whole fiasco was a total HOAX?
