A timely article. There’s very little data supporting the biological effects of vaccines given to pregnant women. As you state, it is up to the recommending bodies to investigate safety and effects of MIA on fetal brain development. The pregnancy vaccines must be halted until their safety is characterized.
Wow! Combine this with the excessive vaccination in early childhood and yikes! The effects on children's brains! It has been said the USA has as a percentage of population more serial killers than other western countries. One has to wonder if there is a correlation. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries-with-the-most-serial-killers
The vaccine industry's "Just a few antigens so no harm done by vaccinations during pregnancy" position reminds me of Paul Offit's "A baby's immune system can respond to 10,000 antigens at once, so there's no problem with giving a baby several different vaccinations at the same time."
The vaccine industry's crude "Vaccines are safe, effective, and necessary" magic tricks depend on the public's ignorance, gullibility, and "desire to believe."
The COVID spikejab's widespread horrific adverse effects are opening many people's minds to the possibility that vaccines aren't the innocent miracle workers they are promoted as. So we have an opportunity to educate people. Can articles like this one be boiled down to a paragraph or two, or better yet, a short "cartoon strip" with simple eye-catching illustrations, and launched into social media? Maybe "corrective knowledge" about vaccines could go viral.
On a related topic, remember the Zika virus that was blamed for causing microcephaly in Brazilian babies even though it had been around for decades and never done that before? An odd thing was that this epidemic of microcephaly just happened to occur right after a big push to give pregnant women in that region the tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis vaccine. Hmmm...
And then some anti-vaxxer in the U.S. looked up statistics on microcephaly in the U.S. and -- goodness! -- discovered that the incidence of microcephaly in U.S. babies increased by a factor of six after tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis vaccination was recommended for pregnant women in the U.S.
Oddly, not long after that alarming information was put out in social media, the statistics on microcephaly in U.S. babies *prior* to this vaccination recommendation were "disappeared" from the website where this anti-vaxxer had seen them.
Just another magic trick by the vaccine industry. But the "microcephaly effect" should certainly be included when we talk about risks of vaccination during pregnancy, don’t you think?
Excellent breakdown of the epitope-level analysis versus pathogen counting. The distinction between theoretical peptide windows and experimentally validated epitopes is crucial, even when filtered through HLA restriction and immunodominance hierarchies the numbers remain substantial. What stood out most is how FHA's 3500+ amino acid precursor alone contributes thousands of peptide oportunities, this single antigen dwarfs entire viral proteomes. The lack of pregnancy-specific epitope mapping studies is problematic given how drastically gestation alters Treg balance and cytokine thresholds, we're extrapolating non-pregnant immune profiles onto a fundamentaly different immunological state.
Epitopes being presented to T and B cells contributes to immune stimulation. But these antigens and epitopes wouldn’t even register in the absence of the inflammatory adjuvants—such as aluminum and DNA. I think that’s overlooked by the purveyors (Offit) of the ridiculous notion that 10,000 antigens (vaccines) can be given at one time.
Extremely important topic. Thank you. This is a drum that needs to be beat again and again. No vaccines during pregnancy to avoid increasing what we don't want: immune activation. The burden of proof is on those who want to vaccinate pregnant women and they have come no where near "clearing the bar". Again, thank you for your clarity and precision.
Brillant breakdown of the epitope-level analysis versus pathogen counting. The distinction betwen theoretical peptide windows and experimentally validated epitopes is precisely what gets lost in public discourse, but even after filtering we're still looking at dozens of immune targets per antigen. I remember when my sister was pregnant and got pressured into the flu shot, nobody explained the sheer antigenic load at the molecular level. The FHA protein alone contributing thousands of peptide windows is kinda wild when you think about cumulative burden.
An exceptional article my friend. Thank you for your continued hard work to bring good science which evidence-based care and decision making can build upon. Thank you for caring for birthing mothers. You are a compassionate intellectual, and that is rare.
