I was deceived about COVID vaccine safety: 5. Mechanisms of action; 6. Evidence from animal studies

[Note: This excellent and comprehensive article is so long that I'm separating it into multiple blog posts. The first five in the series were posted on Stand Together Corvallis Parents blog on 1/20,1/22, 1/24, 1/26, and 1/28.

5. Plausible mechanisms of action
In the last section I alluded to “something about the vaccines that was increasing one’s chances for all-cause morality.”
We have plausible mechanisms of action for why the vaccines could cause such a diverse array of serious harms.
The Covid vaccines work by instructing your body to create something called the spike protein, and there are multiple studies showing that the spike protein alone is cytotoxic, which I’ve previously written about here.
What we don’t know is why some people experience such severe reactions from the vaccines, and others don’t experience anything obvious. It might be that some people produce more spike protein than others, or perhaps in some cases there has been accidental intravenous injection (see this).
It’s also unclear why the two mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are more associated with heart inflammation, while the adenoviral viral vector based vaccines like the J&J or AstraZeneca vaccines are more associated with blood clotting issues, when all of them encode for the spike protein (although there are some differences between them).
When you look at VAERS, all the vaccines do have each of these conditions associated with them (heart inflammation, clotting), but we don’t know why the rates for each of the conditions seem higher for some vaccines more than others.
There could, of course, be other things going on with the adenoviral viral vector based vaccines like the J&J or AstraZeneca vaccines, and we also can’t rule out quality control or contamination issues. The differences might also have something to do with the dynamics of how spike protein is produced; for example, perhaps in a vaccine like Moderna, which has a higher concentration of mRNA compared to the Pfizer one, we get a sudden spike in spike protein (pun intended), while the adenoviral viral vector based vaccines lead to a more steady production of spike protein over a longer period of time.
We don’t know, because the vaccine companies were not required to study how much spike protein gets produced in the body, or for how long, or how much it varies across individuals, or how long it stays in the body, or where in the body it ends up, etc.
Other plausible mechanism of action are discussed here, here, and here.
On top of that, this study done in mice showed that the lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) used to encase the mRNA vaccines might be highly inflammatory:
6. Evidence from animal studies
In addition to the study mentioned in the last section, there was another study done in mice which showed that injection with the Pfizer covid vaccine led to all sorts of heart and liver pathologies:
By the way, if you read this paper carefully, you’ll notice that the descriptions of the data often don’t match the data itself. I suggest you look at the data before reading the descriptions, which might bias your interpretations of the data. You might also notice weird things going on with some of the scales in the graphs.
Oh and don’t forget to look at the figures in the supplementary materials, especially the last one.
In fact, this paper was a turning point for me; it tipped me off that there was something really rotten going on in biomedicine. I wrote about it here: https://joomi.substack.com/p/vax-injected-mice.
