Hi, Jean - the only point I was making in posting his bio was that he has a lot of experience with vaccines, at many places, with many employers, and therefore has some experience/standing to have an opinion about how this particular set of vaccines is being handled.
I am skeptical about the workings of most of his listed employers, and generally have developed skepticism about modern vaccines at all. While I have had all the normal "kid" vaccines, I think the last one I got was the Polio vaccine in grade school, in the 1950s. As I've watched the rollouts of all these new vaccines, I have serious questions about them. Back in my day, vaccines were few and well-spaced-out. In my non-medical opinion, that gave my little body time to work with each of the vaccines individually. I'm not even sure that they had that triple-shot Measles/Mumps/Rubella vaccine, which is the subject of some concern by many parents who have noticed changes in their children, nevermind the "studies" which "debunk" their concerns. Nowadays, kids get many more vaccines, starting with a Hepatitis B vaccine at birth (is a newborn's system really ready for that kind of thing?), and they just pile on one after another. I think, if I were a parent, I'd be holding up the red flag and asking a LOT of questions about all this. I haven't taken a flu shot in more than 25 years - why, when it's really a guess whether the powers that be picked the right strains. Last I recall, the average flu shot is somewhere between 40% and 60% effective - and every year I have friends and relatives who got the flu immediately after taking that shot. Better I should stick to building my immune system against whatever virus shows up every year. The last flu I had was New Year's 1987/88; husband's was 1998 - his 50th birthday. Since then, not even a bad cold or sore throat, despite winter working conditions on construction sites and daily contact with a constant stream of new people. Back to Vanden-Bossche. His experience working with vaccines, to me, means his opinion has more value than, say, our resident Troll. When he says what he did, that's worth something to me. To save anybody the trouble of looking for his comment, I'm reposting it here.... “As of the early days of the mass vaccination campaigns, at least a few experts have been warning against the catastrophic impact such a program could have on global and individual health. Mass vaccination in the middle of a pandemic is prone to promoting selection and adaptation of immune escape variants that are featured by increasing infectiousness and resistance to spike protein (S)-directed antibodies (Abs), thereby diminishing protection in vaccines and threatening the unvaccinated." ” From: "Jean Baugh" &lt;oldglorytexa...@gmail.com&gt; Date: Tue, Aug 17, 2021 11:43 am To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: CS&gt;Re: CS&gt;Re: CS&gt;Re: CS&gt;Vaccine Expert Vanden Bossche Calls For “Immediate Halt” To Vaccinations, Says They Encourage “Escape Mutant” Variants - LewRockwell Hi, I was reading about Bossche but got no further than the 'Kill Bill and Melinda Gates' foundation. Enough ot that! Jean On Tue, Aug 17, 2021 at 1:40 AM Cyndiann Phillips &lt; cyndi...@gmail.com&gt; wrote: He is a veterinarian. Vanden Bossche’s scientific argument in broad terms is that the current COVID-19 vaccines, through a mechanism analogous to antibiotic resistance, will create mutant variants of the virus that escape the protection of those vaccines. This problem will be exacerbated, he claims, because people who have been vaccinated (and/or social distancing and staying inside during the pandemic) will be less capable of fighting off those strains than someone who has not been vaccinated. As we explain below, this scenario is speculative, scientifically flawed, logically inconsistent, and belied by actual data. https://www.snopes.com/news/2021/03/26/geert-vanden-bossche/ On Mon, Aug 16, 2021 at 8:45 PM Linda Ellis &lt; li...@mayaluga.com&gt; wrote: Crackpot? Really? · Geert Vanden Bossche received his DVM from the University of Ghent, Belgium, and his PhD in Virology from the University of Hohenheim, Germany. He has worked for several vaccine companies (GSK Biologicals, Novartis Vaccines, Solvay Biologicals), serving various roles in vaccine R&amp;D as well as in late vaccine development. He joined the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation’s Global Health Discovery team as Senior Program Officer before working with the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) in Geneva as Senior Ebola Program Manager. At GAVI he tracked efforts to develop an Ebola vaccine. He represented GAVI with other partners, including WHO, to review progress on the fight against Ebola and to build plans for global pandemic preparedness. He then joined the German Center for Infection Research in Cologne as Head of the Vaccine Development Office. In a summary of his findings regarding the Covid vaccination programs, he writes: “As of the e! arly days of the mass vaccination campaigns, at least a few experts have been warning against the catastrophic impact such a program could have on global and individual health.Mass vaccination in the middle of a pandemic is prone to promoting selection and adaptation of immune escape variants that are featured by increasing infectiousness and resistance to spike protein (S)-directed antibodies (Abs), thereby diminishing protection in vaccinees and threatening the unvaccinated.” From: "Cyndiann Phillips" &lt; cyndi...@gmail.com&gt; Date: Mon, Aug 16, 2021 6:00 pm To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: CS&gt;Re: CS&gt;Vaccine Expert Vanden Bossche Calls For “Immediate Halt” To Vaccinations, Says They Encourage “Escape Mutant” Variants - LewRockwell another crackpot On Mon, Aug 16, 2021 at 4:52 PM T.
