Nobel Prize Goes to Dubious mRNA Research Used to Develop COVID Shots
On Oct. 2, 2023, the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly to scientists Katalin Karikó, PhD and Drew Weissman, MD, PhD “for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.” The mRNA (messenger RNA) “vaccines”—which […]
Pulling Out All the Stops to Sell More COVID Shots
This year, Pfizer, Inc. and Moderna, Inc. have experienced sharply declining sales of their messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 shots, Comirnaty and Spikevax. Pfizer reported first-quarter (ending Mar. 31, 2023) sales of $3 billion for Comirnaty—down 75 percent from the same period in 2022.

More Than Half of U.S. Dog Owners Concerned About Pet Vaccines
The novel messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 shots, notably Pfizer/BioNTech’s Comirnaty and Moderna/NIAID’s Spikevax biologics, were not he only shots causing millions of Americans to worry and be skeptical about their safety and efficacy over the past three years. A new study published last month in the journal Vaccine found that more than half of dog […]
COVID Shot Transmits Aerosolized Antibodies to Those Who’ve Not Gotten It: Study
A peer reviewed study recently published in Immunohorizons has provided evidence that individuals, who received messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 shots, are able to transmit aerosolized antibodies to unvaccinated individuals. The study, which was originally reported in preprint in May 2022, looked at masks worn for one day by laboratory workers who received a COVID shot. […]
