(Just The News)—When Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shifted nearly $500 million designated for mRNA vaccine development to “safer, broader vaccine platforms that remain effective even as viruses mutate,” predictable wailing followed from the public health establishment and mainstream media but also some old-guard conservatives.
National Review editors praised COVID-19 vaccines for their belatedly alleged protections against severe outcomes, citing President Biden’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the claim they reduced hospitalization and death by 70% among those vaccinated, even as the editors acknowledged the virus naturally became “less severe over time.”
The publication’s intern even called COVID vaccines, whose inability to stop infection and transmission was known to then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky a month after emergency use authorization, “the most phenomenal medical breakthrough of the 21st century.”
Yet peer-reviewed global research keeps identifying severe adverse events following mRNA vaccination in some groups at low risk from COVID, and a German-led paper in the official journal of the International Union of Immunological Societies offers a causal explanation.
“Our findings reveal that numerous off-target products are produced by mRNA-based corona vaccines following translation of the encoded spike monomers,” said researchers affiliated with institutes on physiology, medical informatics, pharmacology and “Molecular and Translational Therapeutic Strategies” in Germany and Hungary.
