and reckless,’ citing papers showing that toxic nanoparticles accumulate in
ovaries.

(LifeSiteNews) – Scientists have known
for nearly a decade that the lipid nanoparticles like those currently used in
novel mRNA COVID vaccines accumulate in ovaries and are potentially toxic to
reproductive health, a former vice president and top researcher at Pfizer said
at a conference hosted by LifeSiteNews Thursday on the fertility dangers of
COVID vaccines.
“You’re not being told the truth,” said Michael
Yeadon, former Pfizer Vice President and Chief Scientist Worldwide for
Respiratory Pharmacology and Toxicology, who is now the Chief Scientific
Advisor for the Truth for Health Foundation. “Thinking about this, I try
to imagine that I was speaking to my own young adult daughters, for whom I
would be very concerned if they got these vaccines.”
Yeadon cited scientific papers dating back to 2012
that warn of potential reproductive hazards of lipid nanoparticles that are
used in COVID shots.
Both Moderna’s and Pfizer’s mRNA vaccines use
specialized nanoparticle lipids or lipoproteins as carriers for their main ingredient
– unstable mRNA protein that causes cells to produce the notorious coronavirus
spike protein and elicit an immune response. These are the molecules that
required the extremely low temperatures to preserve stability of the lipid
encasing the fragile mRNA.
Accumulation in reproductive
organs
German researchers reported in their paper
published nine years ago, “Accumulation of nanocarriers in the ovary: A
neglected toxicity risk?,” that there is a “potential toxicity risk of
all nanoscaled drug delivery systems” and an accumulation of different
microscopic carrier molecules in rodent ovaries. Their research involved
injection of lipid “nanocarriers,” including some with an ingredient common to
both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s mRNA COVID vaccines: polyethylene
glycol.
Instead of loading the carriers with drugs or mRNA,
the researchers from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg Department of
Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmaceutics and the University of Regensburg
loaded the nanocarriers with a fluorescent dye they could trace. They reported
a “high local accumulation of nanoparticles” in “specific locations of the
ovaries” in all mice and rats treated with five different nanocarrier drug
delivery systems of different sizes.
Remained in ovaries 25
days later
The fluorescence intensity was detectable in
ovaries just two hours after injection and increased within ovaries after 24
hours and remained constant at a high level over several days. A bright
fluorescence signal was detectable even 25 days after injection, they reported.
The German researchers warned that this
accumulation in ovaries may alert to an “important toxicity issue in humans,”
but they did not know. Perhaps, it “might as well open a new field of targeted
ovarian therapies,” they reported and concluded that further study was
necessary to discover the unknown impact of the phenomenon.
Pfizer’s
unpublished data
These findings confirm a Pfizer “biodistribution
study” of its lipid nanoparticle carrier system in lab animals which
showed that the vaccine nanocarrier molecules leave the muscle site of
injection, enter blood circulation, and then accumulate in organs and tissues,
including the spleen, bone marrow, the liver, adrenal glands, and especially
the ovaries.
The biodistribution study looked only at the
nanoparticle carrier proteins and did not include the vaccine ingredient
mRNA, which presumably would be delivered inside the carrier in
the real world experiment and trigger production of spike protein in
the cell it lands in, as intended.
Thalidomide disaster
“We never, ever give experimental treatments to
pregnant women,” said Yeadon, pointing to the Thalidomide disaster, in which doctors gave
women a drug in the 1950s and 1960s to treat nausea in pregnancy, resulting in
thousands of children being born with severe deformities, including malformed
organs, leading to death, shortened limbs, and missing fingers and toes.
“Thalidomide taught everyone a lesson. Now we know
harms can happen, and so we’ve spent the last 60 years being really careful,”
said Yeadon.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) recommends all current experimental COVID vaccines, which have been
granted Emergency Use Authorization only and are still in human clinical trials
for another year at least, for pregnant
and breastfeeding mothers.
Yeadon called government promotion of the vaccines
to pregnant women and young women of reproductive age “stupid and
reckless.”
“When they say they’re safe, you must
know they don’t know that. They’ve not been around long enough for them to
possibly evaluate.”
Yeadon, who has served as consultant to over 30
biotech companies and founded his own biotech company that later was sold to
pharmaceutical giant Novartis, cited other research showing that the spike
protein from the coronavirus, which all the current vaccines are based on, has
similarities to human proteins that could induce autoimmune reactions,
including reactions affecting fertility.
Data showing that 15 pregnant women who were
vaccinated developed three-fold higher levels of antibodies against their own
placentas was dismissed and hidden by the vaccine industry and public health,
he said.
‘Do not take these vaccines’
The risks of ingredients in the COVID vaccines to
fertility are too well documented to have been simply ignored, Yeadon
suggested. “Do not take these vaccines,” he warned. “There’s a severe risk to
your ability to conceive and carry a baby to term. Worse, these are deliberate
acts which I believe whoever is doing it is lying about it to hide it and
they’re smearing people who are trying to warn you. Who do you trust?”
Menstrual
irregularities
The research cited by Yeadon could explain the tens
of thousands of reports of menstrual
irregularities, hundreds of reported miscarriages, and other
reproductive issues following vaccines which have been reported to adverse
event reporting systems worldwide.
This week, the U.K. Medicines and Healthcare
products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) ruled that there was ‘no
evidence’ that the 30,304 reactions reported to the Yellow Card system
relating to a variety of menstrual disorders from women who had received one of
the three COVID vaccines currently approved for use in the U.K. were in any way
related to the injections.
Toxic effects
Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet, an independent physician
specializing in reproductive hormones impact on general health and co-founder
of the Truth for Health Foundation, pointed to another study,
this one from 2018, in which researchers again warned of the reproductive
toxicity of nanoparticles.
“Indeed, studies have shown that NPs
[nanoparticles] are likely to have toxic effects on many organs, such as the
brain, liver, and lungs, which are the most studied target organs,” the Chinese
researchers reported in their paper, titled “Potential adverse effects of
nanoparticles on the reproductive system.” “Only recently, attention has been
directed toward the reproductive toxicity of nanomaterials.”
The study reviews literature showing that
nanoparticles can pass through the blood–testis barrier, placental
barrier, and barriers protecting reproductive tissues, and then
accumulate in reproductive organs.
The accumulation of
nanoparticles damages organs (testis, epididymis, ovary, and uterus) by
destroying specific cells, leading to reproductive organ dysfunction
that adversely affects sperm and eggs and may disrupt the ovarian
cycle. “In addition, NPs can disrupt the levels of secreted hormones,
causing changes in sexual behavior,” according to the researchers.
“It’s not just sexual behavior,” said Vliet, who
has practiced climacteric medicine focusing on reproductive health and the
impact of hormones on general health for 35 years. “It’s the health and optimal
function of every organ in our body.”
The review paper cited earlier German research
on nanocarriers but also looks at dozens of studies of other nanoparticlized or
microscopic molecules including graphene oxide, titanium dioxide and catalogues
their negative impact on various aspects of reproduction.
Impacts reproductive systems of newborns
In one 2015 study referenced,
researchers injected a PEG polymer into rat puppies and concluded that
“neonatal exposure to PEG-b-PLA might affect the development and function of
hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis (HPO), and thereby alter functions of the
reproductive system in adult female rats.” In other words, newborns exposed to
these nanoparticles did not develop normal reproductive systems.
LNP-driven safety parameters
Other studies by the vaccine industry have raised
safety concerns over lipid nanoparticles (LPN). One 2018
study by researchers from COVID vaccine-makers Moderna and AstraZeneca
UK and three other pharmaceutical companies looked at the safety of modified
mRNA formulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) after repeated intravenous
infusion to rats and monkeys.
It described “primary safety-related findings” that
were “mainly LNP driven.” These included increased hematopoiesis
(production of blood components) in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow (rats)
and “minimal hemorrhage in the heart (monkeys).” Other safety-related findings
in the rat included “changes in the coagulation parameters at all doses, as
well as liver injury,” and in the monkey, “splenic necrosis” and “lymphocyte
depletion were observed.”
There is no evidence that the vaccine manufacturers
looked at the effects of the LPN (or mRNA) on reproductive organs or function.
The researchers concluded: “Future work will be geared toward evaluating
different routes of administration, the effects of chronic dosing, and the risk
to juvenile animals, as juveniles may be particularly important in the setting
of rare disease.”
Two years was not a long time to answer all of the
questions raised in the study about the long-term potential effects of modified
mRNA or LPN in juvenile animals – let alone humans. Yet the CDC currently
promotes Pfizer’s experimental vaccine for all
children over age 12 and for pregnant
and breastfeeding mothers.
The Moderna Spikevax COVID-19 vaccine
was approved for 12 to
17-year-olds this week by the Medicines and Healthcare products
Regulatory Agency (MHRA) of the United Kingdom.
Moderna and Pfizer did not reply to questions and
requests for comment from LifeSiteNews before publication.
