    Cureus | Retraction: COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines: Lessons Learned from the Registrational Trials and Global Vaccination Campaign

    Retraction
    The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. Following publication, concerns were raised regarding a number of claims made in this article. Upon further review, the Editors-in-Chief found that the conclusions of this narrative review are considered to be unreliable due to the concerns with the validity of some of the cited references that support the conclusions and a misrepresentation of the cited references and available data.

    The authors disagree with this retraction.

    Paper claiming ‘extensive’ harms of COVID-19 vaccines to be retracted

    The senior author on the work was Peter McCullough, a cardiologist at the Institute of Pure and Applied Knowledge who lost his board certification after the American Board of Internal Medicine found he had “provided false or inaccurate medical information to the public.”

    Indeed, McCullough had already lost one paper, in Current Problems in Cardiology, from Elsevier, when he and his colleagues submitted their latest opus to Cureus. And SSRN, which hosts preprints for The Lancet, another Elsevier journal, had removed work by him and colleagues claiming large numbers of deaths from COVID-19 vaccines.

    In a Feb. 9, 2024 letter to the journal and the publisher, John P. Moore, a microbiologist at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City, and Gregg Gonsalves, an epidemiologist at Yale School of Public Health, in New Haven, Conn., expressed their “serious concerns” about the article. Among their objections:

    The authors utterly lack relevant professional qualifications that would enable them to assess the scientific publications they draw on and/or attempt to criticize. The authors self-describe their affiliations under the rubric of “Independent Research”, or list private foundations, or in one case report an academic discipline unrelated to biology. In short, the authors cannot draw on years of training in biological science, but appear to be self-taught via the “University of Google”.

    They continue:

    The point here is that the Cureus review merely regurgitates claims about mRNA vaccines that have circulated on the internet and been debunked over and over again, including by fact-checking organizations (e.g., Factcheck.org, and the USA Today and Politico factcheck teams).

    They conclude:

    By bringing this highly problematic review to your attention, we hope that you will conduct a thorough review of how it was accepted for publication in Cureus under the Springer Nature imprimatur. How appropriate was the peer review process? How did the editor act? Is the acceptance of this review symptomatic of a wider problem at the journal? Finally, if you share our views that this review is so flawed as to be dangerous to public health, you may well decide that it should be retracted.

    I watched more of that ladies video. Her and the study said the MNRA vaccines were not really vaccines but rather gene therapy which is utterly false.

    Can mRNA Vaccines Alter a Person’s DNA? | Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

    she further goes on to say that there is nothing to stop our bodies cells from continuing to produce the spike protein, which is also false

    What Stops the Body from Continuing to Produce the COVID-19 Spike Protein after Getting an mRNA Vaccine? | Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

    It does appear to be true in some young people who get myocarditis that there is lingering spike protein vs no spike protein in those that don’t get myocarditis. There is an association but it isn’t totally clear if there is causality. Myocarditis is also a side effect of some other vaccines and is a more frequent and more severe side effect of Covid 19


    How long do mRNA and spike proteins last in the body?

    In 2020 hundreds of hospitals and medical facilities were close and a hundred thousand nurses were furloughed … and hospitals were empty except for the remaining nurses who performed elaborate Tik Tok routines.

    In 2021 …

    Babble on about Covid, the vax, boosters...

    At it's core, covid was a pandemic of stupidity, catapulting the national debt from 22.7 Trillion in '19, to 30.9 Trillion in '22.

    That's 8 Trillion dollars we pissed away to save half a million baby boomers.

    ...while engaging in so much other nationally suicidal behavior...

    Yes, and I continue to laugh at people who believe there are two parties.

    Seems you missed--or rather, intentionally ignored--the 8 Trillion dollars of additional debt incurred.

    That's real !@#$!@#'n money/value, with real @%@#$'n consequences for those who haven't had the opportunity to live the full life those surviving boomers have lived, compliments of the sacrifices of their predecessors.

    (...of course, sacrifice was never quite the trait likely associated with the 'me gen').

    Touche'.

    One party has at least made attempts to upset the status quo. That's the party that seeks to be 'conservative'.

    The party that purports to *liberalism*, not only holds steadfastly to the status quo, but has adopted the SQ as its sacrosanct orthodoxy, where those that dare venture off the res, are immediately ostracized, if not prosecuted.

    Perhaps a distinction without a difference, in practice, as it turns out.

    I mean--can't get much more radical than DJT--who got us pretty much the SOSDD...

    C'est la vie.

    Our NC Governor was a Covid tyrant. Republicans in our state assembly enjoy a veto-proof majority but hardly raised a peep as they agreed with lockdowns.

    Dr. Boz talk about the papers retraction. Peer reviewed before its release. So much for “peer” reviews—-
