For vaccines, resistance equates to strains of the microbe, the virus, or the bacteria that can elude the imperfect immunity created by the vaccine. Even more hilariously (and a bit uncomfortably) Frei is pretty spot on when she notes: However, this is on very shaky ground. In de tweede plaats stelt hij dat deze vaccinaties op termijn wellicht auto-immuunziekten zouden kunnen veroorzaken. [2], Na een carrire in de academische wereld in Belgi en Duitsland werkte Vanden Bossche bij verscheidene bedrijven aan de ontwikkeling van vaccins (GSK Biologicals, Novartis Vaccines, Solvay Biologicals). Unless I am scientifically proven wrong, it is difficult to understand how current human interventions will prevent circulating variants from turning into a wild monster. De Belgische wetenschapper Geert Vanden Bossche heeft het internet veroverd met zijn waarschuwing voor een wereldwijde ramp: de massale coronavaccinaties zouden een virusvariant kunnen creren die tegen de vaccins bestand is waardoor veel doden zouden vallen. En wat met die massale sterftegolf die Geert Vanden Bossche voorspelt? But wait, says Dr. Vanden Bossche. Exactly. His argument is that the COVID-19 vaccine is leaky, that it does not prevent transmission, allowing the evolution of nasty variants in the absence of symptomatic disease. There is, indeed, compelling scientific evidence that these cells play a key role in facilitating complete elimination of Covid-19 at an early stage of infection in asymptomatically infected subjects. p.381-386. In fact, I basically said the same thing in 2019 when writing about Andrew Wakefields invocation of the same argument regarding the MMR vaccine and measles variants. Geert Vanden Bossche is een Belgische dierenarts[1], viroloog[1], zelfverklaard mRNA-vaccinatie specialist en onafhankelijk onderzoeker en adviseur op het gebied van vaccins. It means either "from the woods" or "from Den Bosch ". Well, similar to the rules applying to classical antimicrobial antibiotics, it is paramount that our self-made antiviral antbiotcs [sic] are made available in sufficient concentration and are tailored at the specific features of our enemy. En nooit is het probleem daardoor groter gemaakt. Vanden Bossche asserts that COVID-19 vaccines pose a unique risk of producing dangerous variants in part because people who are vaccinated will be spreading the mutations while asymptomatic. As a dedicated virologist and vaccine expert I only make an exception when health authorities allow vaccines to be administered in ways that threaten public health, most certainly when scientific evidence is being ignored. Add a bio, trivia, and more. The molecular weight cut-off of microcapsules is determined by the reaction between alginate and polylysine. It appears that Vejon Health is a dormant company, if it exists at all. [Editors note: Scott Gavura had circumstances pop up that prevented him from producing a post for today. ", The notion that lockdowns have weakened our innate immune system is equally without basis. Vanden Bossche has been able to avoid allegations of peddling such a cure at least in the credulous anti-vaccine community because his resume legitimately includes stints at companies or initiatives involved in vaccine development, including The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This is what COVID-19 vaccines do, and their ability to reduce the opportunities for the virus to mutate is why rapid vaccination is imperative. Your membership is the foundation of our sustainability and resilience. Zijn pleidooi werd vooral opgevangen en verspreid in de vaccin-kritische beweging. The notion that this is somehow a problem relies on the unsupported claim that a natural infection would be better equipped to kill SARS-CoV-2. By Geert Van den Bossche Nov 6, 2018 Activity Leefbaarheid en mobiliteit zijn belangrijke uitdagingen binnen de Deltaregio. Snopes and the Snopes.com logo are registered service marks of Snopes.com, Image Via Screencapture / geertvandenbossche.org. Zo lijkt uit deze reactie dat Vanden Bossche een interview had met VRT terwijl die vermeld hadden dat ze Vanden Bossche hadden gecontacteerd maar dat hij niet wenste reageren. Dat komt doordat ons immuunsysteem voor een virus heel moeilijk te omzeilen is. Before this open letter, I hadnt recalled ever having heard of Dr. Vanden Bossche before, so I looked around. While there is no doubt that current vaccines will become less effective over time due to genetic drift, this is not something that vaccine science is unaware of or unprepared for. He asserts that his statements "are based on nothing else but science." Please read and share: https://t.co/0Fupw9JInP #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/I24mSjpVKM, Geert Vanden Bossche (@GVDBossche) March 6, 2021. Hij was daarbij kritisch over de veiligheid van een ebolavaccin. Vanden Bosche argues that widespread vaccination will put evolutionary pressure on the viruses to develop adaptations in this case changes to the spike protein that allows the virus to infect cells in a way that will allow it to escape the vaccine's protection. However, increasingly clear evidence exists that the current COVID-19 vaccines reduce transmission, as well as the amount of viral material available for shedding, even in asymptomatic cases. However, this type of prophylactic vaccines [sic] are completely inappropriate, and even highly dangerous, when used in mass vaccination campaigns during a viral pandemic. Dan vraag ik me af waar we mee bezig zijn. En dan moet je weten dat het coronavirus eigenlijk niet zo heel veel muteert in vergelijking met bijvoorbeeld de griep. However, Dr. Vanden Bossches claims to have worked with the Gates Foundation, GAVI, and other vaccine-related enterprises does seem to be legitimate, which makes me wonder: Has he gone crank or is he a grifter? Het magazine Knack ontdekte bovendien dat Vanden Bossche zijn artikels publiceerde in tijdschriften die publicaties aanbieden tegen betaling, dat bij sommige publicaties een functie bij de Universiteit Gent vermeld wordt die niet bestaat, en dat hij nepconferenties bijwoonde. Theres abundant evidence that Vanden Bossche has a not-so-hidden agenda. As I noted when Andrew Wakefield explicitly used the example of Mareks disease to claim that a leaky vaccine to MMR would cause a global catastrophe by selecting for deadly measles variants, yes, a leaky vaccine changes the selective pressure and permits the evolution of highly virulent strains because the virus retains the ability to continue to spread among vaccinated populations, leading to the vaccine selecting for the most virulent mutations. 1499-1505), Flemish painter. Again, this is an argument antivaxxers have made dating back at least to the pertussis vaccine. The current monkeypox outbreak is a result of the Covid vaccinations that are connected to Covid reinfections and the related reactivation of cytotoxic t-cells, claims Dr. Vanden Bossche. Vanden Bossche has created a scientific-sounding argument that vaccination will encourage the production of COVID-19 variants that our immune systems will be unprepared to fight. NK cells are part of the cellular arm of our innate immune system and, alike [sic] natural Abs, they are capable of recognizing and attacking a broad and diversified spectrum of pathogenic agents. Again, the possibility that COVID-19 might be developing resistance to vaccines or immune escape is not a reason to halt the vaccination campaign. 721. View geert vanden bossche's profile on LinkedIn, the world's largest professional community. Before I get to Vanden Bossches open letter and his warning to the world that mass vaccination with the current COVID-19 vaccines is likely to lead to a global catastrophe due to the proliferation of ever-more-transmissible COVID-19 variants (as if the COVID-19 pandemic itself hasnt been a global catastrophe! Dr. Vanden Bossche has publicized his letter on Twitter: In this open letter I am appealing to the @WHO and all stakeholders involved, no matter their conviction, to immediately declare such action as THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY OF INTERNATIONAL CONCERN. Nirenberg goes further and notes that the antibody titers induced by vaccines are MUCH higher than those seen after infection, and we see hallmarks of memory responses induced by these vaccines from even a single dose, suggesting that, even though there is a decrease in neutralization by vaccine-induced SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, that might not portend a loss in protection. That. Frans historicus Emmanuel Todd (volledig interview): Derde Wereldoorlog is al begonnen, Met 3000 kwamen ze naar Brussel op 26 februari 2023, Europe for Peace. Al was het maar om het lezerspubliek niet langer voor de gek te houden besluit Vanden Bossche. Opleiding Vanden Bossche studeerde achtereenvolgens aan de Universiteit van Namen en Gent , waar hij in 1983 zijn doctoraalexamen diergeneeskunde ( DVM ) haalde (cum laude). Integendeel zelfs. As a scientist I do not usually appeal to any platform of this kind to make a stand on vaccine-related topics. It is precisely this type of highly specific, high affinity Abs that current Covid-19 vaccines are inducing. De statisten waren een politieke fractie tijdens de Brabantse Omwenteling, die aanhangers waren van de Staten. Laat ons een sereen, publiek debat voeren over de vragen die van belang zijn in plaats van te twitteren. ACV en ABVV voeren actie tegen brutale sociale uitbuiting Subsidies voor ziekenfondsen en zorgkassen: een goede zaak, Kind en Gezien in het Vlaams Parlement: Parlementsleden leven in een andere wereld, Sarah Bracke: Voor de afbrokkeling van vrouwen- en LGBTQ+-rechten hoeven we niet enkel naar extreemrechts te kijken, Crisis Crche Crevits: ouders starten kinderopvang in ontvangsthal van kabinet Hilde Crevits, De vrouw als zondebok is meer dan een historische terugblik op brandstapels, Kinderopvang blijft strijden tot beleid verbetert: Je bent met de belangrijkste levensjaren van een mens bezig, 80 jaar geleden werden Sophie Scholl, Hans Scholl en Christoph Probst gexecuteerd door het nazi-regime, Viviana dAuria, Luce Beeckmans, Tasneem Nagi, Heleen Verheyden, Cline Drieskens, Aikaterini Anastasiou, Jeroen Stevens, Isabelle Benoit, Viviana dAuria, Luce Beeckmans, Tasneem Nagi, Heleen Verheyden, Cline Drieskens, Aikaterini Anastasiou, Jeroen Stevens, Isabelle Benoit. Natural Abs are not germ-specific whereas acquired Abs are specifically directed at the invading pathogen. After all, if a human vaccine lets deadlier versions of a disease flourish, that is all the more reason to be protected from those deadly strains. Eerst werd het nog genegeerd maar door de vele vragen hierover voelde VRTNWS zich toch genoodzaakt te reageren op haar website. Of course, the type of vaccines to be used would be completely different from conventional vaccines in that theyre not inducing the usual suspects, i.e., B and T cells, but NK cells. So, as we grow up, we increasingly mount pathogen-specific immunity, including highly specific Abs. The role of spike protein variability inT cell immunity is likely to be elucidated in experimental studies in the next few months; a priori, the enhanced repertoire of T cell epitopes makes the loss of cytotoxic activity or recognition improbable. 10.8K. Volgens hem kan dat vooral gebeuren wanneer mensen slechts n dosis krijgen, of te lang moeten wachten op een tweede. A very similar mechanism may also apply to viruses, especially to viruses that can easily and rapidly mutate (which is, for example, the case with Coronaviruses); when the pressure exerted by the armys (read: populations) immune defense starts to threaten viral replication and transmission, the virus will take on another coat so that it can no longer be easily recognized and, therefore, attacked by the host immune system. As I suspected, Dr. Vanden Bossche is selling something. Fact-checkers noemt Vanden Bossche marionetten van een georkestreerde smaadcampagne die zich als leek willen mengen in zulk complex gegeven als virologie. mRNA-vaccins werden al volop ontwikkeld vr COVID-19 uitbrak (En coronavaccins zoals Pfizer en Moderna maken gebruik van messenger-RNA dat in de cellen van de mens eiwitten aanmaakt van virusuitsteeksels, red.). Er bestaat geen bewijs dat de beweringen van Geert Vanden Bossche kan ondersteunen. Dat punt maakte ook Otto Yang, professor Infectieziekten aan de Universiteit van California, in de krant USA Today. One such claim that I hadnt yet seen is another favorite antivax claim, although admittedly its a rather niche claim in that you dont hear it too often. She is member of the SP.a political party, and she was Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Budget and Consumer Protection in the Belgian federal government. Zijn pleidooi werd vooral opgevangen en verspreid in de vaccin-kritische beweging. Seriously, as a vaccine expert, how is it that Dr. Vanden Bossche does not know this? The virus is now able to escape immunity (so-called: immune escape). Hij wordt op YouTube voorgesteld als een wereldwijde vaccinautoriteit met een grote reputatie, maar dat klopt niet. De verantwoordelijkheid over de inhoud ligt bij de auteur. This is a very confused argument. Geert Vanden Bossche is a scientist who published an open letter warning of global catastrophe due to deadly variants of COVID-19 selected for by mass vaccination. Hierbij vertegenwoordigt hij standpunten die slechts door een heel kleine minderheid van wetenschappelijke experts wordt gedeeld.
