STUDY: COVID Vaccines Lead to More Dangerous, Contagious Variants
A new unpublished study shows that COVID vaccines have led to more dangerous and infectious variants:
…vaccine breakthrough cases are preferentially caused by circulating antibody-resistant SARS-CoV-2 variants, and that symptomatic breakthrough infections may potentially transmit COVID-19 as efficiently as unvaccinated infections, regardless of the infecting lineage
The data indicate that fully vaccinated people are much more likely to carry antibody-resistant and more infectious virus.
Fully vaccinated were more likely than unvaccinated persons to be infected by variants carrying mutations associated with decreased antibody neutralization (L452R, L452Q, E484K, and/or F490S) (78% versus 48%, p = 1.96e-08), but not by those associated with increased infectivity (L452R and/or N501Y) (85% versus 77%, p = 0.092).
The study also found that vaccines didn’t even reduce viral load:
Differences in viral loads were non-significant between unvaccinated and fully vaccinated persons overall (p = 0.99) and according to lineage (p = 0.09 – 0.78).
This study backs what Geert Vanden Bossche predicted about the risks of mass-vaccination in the middle of a pandemic.
As this study shows:
Our data show that anti-disease vaccines that do not prevent transmission can create conditions that promote the emergence of pathogen strains that cause more severe disease in unvaccinated hosts.
