Japanese preprint calls for protecting blood banks from donations by Covid-vaccinated
Abnormalities following genetic vaccination with mRNA and DNA-based Covid vaccines are cited as significant risks to the blood supply
A new Japanese preprint study posted on March 15 highlights blood and other abnormalities associated with the new class of mRNA and DNA-based Covid vaccines that debuted in late 2020, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and AstraZeneca shots, and calls for Japan’s blood supplies to be protected from the blood of those who have received them.
Authored by Jun Ueda of the Department of Advanced Medical Science at Asahikawa Medical University and Hideyuki Motohashi of the Tokyo Medical University Hospital, along with five others, the study, not peer reviewed, calls for the use of genetic vaccines to be suspended until an adequate harm-benefit assessment can be carried out. Short of that, the authors call for blood donors to be required to provide a history of genetic vaccination, including timing and number of doses.
“The coronavirus pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020, and a global genetic vaccination program has been rapidly implemented as a fundamental solution. However, many countries around the world have reported that so-called genetic vaccines, such as those using modified mRNA encoding the spike protein and lipid nanoparticles as the drug delivery system, have resulted in post-vaccination thrombosis and subsequent cardiovascular damage, as well as a wide variety of diseases involving all organs and systems, including the nervous system.”
The authors urge that blood products provided by genetic vaccine recipients be screened for pathogenic spike protein generated by the shots or modified mRNA or DNA contaminating the samples, and for the products to be discarded if such is found. Longer term, they suggest new screenings be developed to determine safe “cut-off” levels for any such products in the blood supply in order to limit discarding donated blood, as well as the development of new methods to remove genetic vaccine contaminants from blood. They further suggest adding to blood transfusion consent forms the possibility that such contaminants could be missed and remain in the blood supply.
“Although the Director-General of the WHO declared the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency on May 5, 2023, post-vaccination syndrome (PVS), caused by genetic vaccines that have been promoted worldwide and have been given to billions of people, has become a major global problem requiring a reasonable harm–benefit assessment of the global use of genetic vaccines.”
As a reminder, the mRNA and DNA technology used in the first Covid vaccines authorized in Western-aligned countries like the US, Britain, and Japan was unlike that used in any prior vaccine in history, and had never been tested at scale in humans prior to 2020. Whereas previous vaccines typically involved weakened or dead viral material being injected into the body to produce the immune response, the mRNA and DNA shots essentially involved injecting into the body tiny fat particles (lipid nanoparticles) containing the biological equivalent of software code (messenger RNA, or mRNA), which was designed to make its way into the patient’s cells and “program” those cells to produce (“synthesize”) protein structures. These proteins look just like the so-called “spike protein” of the Covid-causing coronavirus — the part that allows the virus to attach to and enter the cells — and are intended to elicit the same immune response the weakened or dead virus would.
The problem (or at least one of them) is, with a live, weakened, or dead virus, the body’s immune system is presented with the entire virus to create the immunity against, while with the genetic vaccines, only the spike is presented and later recognized. If there are significant mutations in the spike as the virus evolves, natural immunity or whole-virus immunity is more likely to remain effective against the mutated virus than is a genetic vaccine that created immunity only to the (now mutated) spike.
Another problem was discovered when both the lipid nanoparticle containing the mRNA, as well as the spike it produced, were found to travel in the bloodstream around the body to remote sites rather than quickly degrade near the site of the injection. Japan was one of the countries to require pharmaceutical companies to perform biodistribution studies and submit their results in order to gain regulatory approval for their Covid vaccines. Such studies look at how components of the vaccines accumulate in various body tissues. As I mentioned in my 2021 Covid timeline Two Years in Wonderland, those studies showed that the lipid nanoparticles used in the vaccines travel to the liver, spleen, ovaries, testes, adrenal glands, and bone marrow and collect there. It has also been proven that the spike proteins travel and collect in some of these same tissues. The leading theory for why genetic Covid vaccines cause injury is that the spike protein itself acts as a pathogen, with vaccine-induced immune system dysfunction often cited as a secondary cause. The spike is said to be able to damage tissues and promote micro-clotting, much like the natural spike protein from the virus can do.
“Contrary to initial expectations, it was found that genes and proteins from genetic vaccines persist in the blood of vaccine recipients for prolonged periods of time, and a variety of adverse events resulting from genetic vaccines are now being reported worldwide.”
The study also discusses the phenomena of immune imprinting and antibody-dependent enhancement, by which repeated exposure to proteins from earlier variants of the virus are said to induce a preferential immune response to that antigen and to promote viral infection and symptoms. More than one study since the advent of mRNA Covid vaccines have found the risk of infection and symptoms increased, and effectiveness waned, with an increased number of vaccine doses.
“In addition to thrombosis, individuals who have received multiple doses of a genetic vaccine may have multiple exposures to the same antigen within a brief period, thereby being imprinted with a preferential immune response to that antigen. This phenomenon, called original antigenic sin or immune imprinting, has caused COVID-19 vaccine recipients to become more susceptible to contracting COVID-19.”
Funding for the study was supported by donations from members of the Japanese Society for Vaccine-related Complications and the Volunteer Medical Association of Japan, which won’t lend it credibility with Covid vaccine proponents. The study uses loaded terminology like referring to the vaccines as being more akin to biomedicine and immune therapeutics than to traditional vaccines. Given their mechanism of action, this is objectively true, but vaccine supporters love to leverage controversies over terms like “gene therapy” to try and paint skeptics as wild conspiracy theorists, even though this kind of terminology was relatively uncontroversial when these technologies were under development before Covid.
Contrast the study’s funding, though, with that of the vaccines themselves and the media that promote them. Network programming, especially in the news segment, is hugely reliant on pharmaceutical industry funding. This was no more evident than when news networks colluded with industry and their regulatory enablers to promote misinformation about the safety and effectiveness of off-patent therapeutics like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine both before and after the introduction of the Covid vaccines. These drugs and others, especially ivermectin, were used widely in countries with low vaccination rates, like India, that saw health outcomes during the pandemic that were superior to North American and western European countries that went all-in on mRNA.
Just this past week, the American Food and Drug Administration agreed as part of a legal settlement to remove social media posts and webpages that urged people to stop taking ivermectin to treat Covid, including an infamous 2021 social media post that said, “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.” This was just one example of a litany of cynical, condescending messages being promoted at a time when frontline physicians around the world were reporting success against Covid with combinations of various relatively inexpensive drugs that were perceived as potential threats to Pharma’s multi-billion dollar vaccine profits. But at least this settlement result provides some symbolic justice for those wronged by such messaging.
But as heart- and cancer-related deaths continue their upward trends since the vast experiment with mRNA vaccines began in early 2021, their testing and introduction having been shortened by ten years under Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, followed by the mother of all hard-sell campaigns by Joe Biden, more and more people are being forced to take notice of the consequences unfolding. As that realization sinks in, more pressure will be put on the media-regulatory-pharmaceutical complex to do something, and they may be forced against their will and their bank accounts to take mitigating measures like protecting the nation’s blood supply. That or they will succeed in continuing to pretend that everything’s okay while the casualties accumulate. Only time will tell.
