Geert Vandenbossche, Patric Van Oostveldt (UGent) , Jo Demeester (UGent) and Jean Paul Remon (UGent) ( 1993 ) BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOENGINEERING. En nooit is het probleem daardoor groter gemaakt. Na de eerste Franse inval in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden verdwenen zij van het toneel. As we explain below, this scenario is speculative, scientifically flawed, logically inconsistent, and belied by actual data. View geert vanden bossche's profile on LinkedIn, the world's largest professional community. (Truly, those were simpler times.). "Dat is een compleet ander mechanisme. As those have stronger affinity for the pathogen (e.g., virus) and can reach high concentrations, they can quite easily outcompete our natural Abs for binding to the pathogen/virus. Agnes van den Bossche (c.1435 - c.1504), Flemish painter. So, there is not one second left for gears to be switched and to replace the current killer vaccines by life-saving vaccines. Men noemt mij een stalker omdat ik oproep tot debat. However, Dr. Vincent Iannelli asked the question, Who is Geert Vanden Bossche? too and isunimpressed. There's even grift likely involved! Hes selling his idea of a vaccine designed to activate natural killer cells. Dat geeft de hoogst mogelijke bescherming en zal de verspreiding van het virus dus nog verder naar omlaag duwen. #LikeMe is een Belgische muzikale jeugdserie die wordt uitgezonden sinds 2019. By the time I get through this, I suspect youll understand why the misinformation that Dr. Vanden Bossche is selling (and I use the word selling intentionally, as I suspect theres grift involved) is nonsense and nothing more than repackaged antivax tropes. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, Steven P. Novella, MD Founder and Executive Editor, David H. Gorski, MD, PhD Managing Editor, allowing infection and natural herd immunity to occur is better, American Association of Physicians and Surgeons, The Sixth Extinction: Vaccine Immunity and Measles Mutants in a Virgin Soil, excellent rebuttal of Dr. Vanden Bossches mangling of immunology, proofreading mechanism that results in a low mutation rate, Andrew Wakefield wrote about MMR and vaccines, Nirenbergs demolition of Dr. Vanden Bossches nonsense, The Not-So-Hidden Agenda Behind Bossches Concern Over COVID Mass Vaccination, surgical oncologist at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, American College of Surgeons Committee on Cancer Liaison Physician, Ear Acupuncture for Procedural Pain in Neonates: More Randomized Controlled Nonsense. Hij wijst erop dat hij geen soort van hobby viroloog is zoals hij wordt weggezet in de media en benoemt zijn ervaringen en diplomas waaronder bepaalde zaken die niet veel Vlamingen hem hebben voorgedaan. Ill refer you to Nirenbergs demolition of Dr. Vanden Bossches nonsense about innate immunity, as he explains why its nonsense better than I can. David Gorski / March 18, 2021 In landen als Isral en het Verenigd Koninkrijk dalen de cijfers in goede richting, in de VS en de UAE is er een lichte stijging. Before this open letter, I hadnt recalled ever having heard of Dr. Vanden Bossche before, so I looked around. Hij waarschuwt met name voor de risico's van het vaccineren van kinderen met mRNA-vaccins. A company claiming to develop such a product is currently registered to an address identified on Yelp as his veterinary practice. De community ruimte is een vrije online ruimte (blog) waar vrijwilligers en organisaties hun opinies kunnen publiceren. 60 ID:Ofxf3u990 ? Experts and politicians have remained silent while obviously still eager to talk about relaxing infection prevention rules and springtime freedom. The virus is now able to escape immunity (so-called: immune escape). Were in a race with the new variants, Sara Del Valle, a computational epidemiologist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico explained in a March 2021 feature in the scientific journal Nature. Exploring issues and controversies in the relationship between science and medicine. Vanden Bossche ist nach eigenen Angaben Veterinrmediziner mit einem Abschluss in Virologie. CC BY-NC-ND 2.0. She is member of the SP.a political party, and she was Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Budget and Consumer Protection in the Belgian federal government. Integendeel: die strategie helpt net om een epidemie onder controle te krijgen. Der Urheber der These ist der Belgier Geert Vanden Bossche, der in den Berichten als Impfexperte" oder anerkannter Top-Virologe" bezeichnet wird. Movies. ", The notion that lockdowns have weakened our innate immune system is equally without basis. Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche, is a world-class certified expert in microbiology and infectious disease, who also has a Ph.D. in virology and a longstanding career in human vaccinology. Variants are "a thing to keep an eye on," Saad Omer, an epidemiologist who serves as director of the Yale Institute for Global Health, told us in a phone interview. Geert Vanden Bossche is een Belgische dierenarts, viroloog, zelfverklaard mRNA-vaccinatie specialist en onafhankelijk onderzoeker en adviseur op het gebied van vaccins. There is a sound scientific rationale to assume that it is possible to prime NK cells in ways for them to recognize and kill Coronaviruses at large (include all their variants) at an early stage of infection. (6/7) When presenting with first signs & symptoms, ALL MUST have free access to immune-strengthening supplements (mostly sufficient for the young & previously healthy) and early multidrug treatment (mostly required for the vulnerable & elderly). Volgens hem kan dat vooral gebeuren wanneer mensen slechts n dosis krijgen, of te lang moeten wachten op een tweede. But wait, says Dr. Vanden Bossche. Als de dosis die je van antibiotica neemt, niet hoog genoeg is, of als je ze niet lang genoeg neemt, zullen bacterin die er resistent tegen zijn zich verder verspreiden. Zoals gemeld ging het dispuut over de volledige publicatie of delen ervan die door VRTNWS werden geselecteerd. If we, human beings, are committed to perpetuating our species, we have no choice lef [sic] but to eradicate these highly infectious viral variants. See the complete profile on LinkedIn and discover geert . While Vanden Bossche's ideas may be rooted in actual scientific concepts, his argument quite explicitly relies on sweeping assumptions. Maar een vaccin werkt niet rechtstreeks in op een virus." Hij beweert dat de coronavaccins ertoe zullen leiden dat het coronavirus verder muteert en zo bestand wordt tegen die vaccins. Is Vanden Bossche fout met zijn theorie of is hij een kiezel in de schoen van de media en experten die het debat domineren omtrent de covid aanpak. There is always concern that a virus or bacteria can mutate to a form such that the antibodies produced by a vaccine against it no longer bind to it, so that the vaccine-induced immune response no longer kills or neutralizes the pathogen. You know what? In de tweede plaats stelt hij dat deze vaccinaties op termijn wellicht auto-immuunziekten zouden kunnen veroorzaken. Vanden Bossche vraagt zich af of de reacties via VRTNWS en Knack berusten op onwetendheid dan wel op het moedwillig verdraaien van de feiten en roept de ons aller gekende experten op het wetenschappelijk debat aan te gaan. Natural Abs are not germ-specific whereas acquired Abs are specifically directed at the invading pathogen. Mrz mit einem offenen Brief an die WHO gewandt. Basically, its a race against evolution to get as many people as possible vaccinated before the virus can evolve resistance to the vaccine, and were fortunate that, contrary to Bossches claim, SARs-CoV-2 does not mutate very fast for an RNA virus. There you have it, the lone scientific maverick who is the only one willing to speak out about against a horror being perpetrated by conventional medicine and science that they dont want you to know about or discuss, a horror thats so urgent that he must speak now. ", While a universal vaccine that could eradicate virtually any disease certainly sounds great, no evidence exists that such a vaccine has ever successfully been developed. Because, among other things: 1) Neither in the original March 6 piece nor his March 13 follow-up does Vanden Bossche provide any direct, non-theoretical evidence that this is happening; 2) The natural antibodies that are produced after encountering a pathogen are only a small part of a quick, effective and broad-based first-line immune-system defense known as innate or passive immunity which in fact largely comprises other components; and 3) Vanden Bossche downplays the effectiveness of the antibodies our bodies naturally produce as part of the second-line (adaptive) part of the immune system that also has served us extremely well for millennia. Het gaat ook om een therapeutisch vaccin. As I go through Dr. Vanden Bossches open letter, Ill point out the similarities, while also noting differences when they occur. On March 6, 2021, a Belgian veterinarian named Geert Vanden Bossche published an open letter"to all authorities, scientists and experts around the world" asserting that, in his expert analysis, the current global COVID-19 vaccination program will "wipe out large parts of our human population." Paradoxically, the only intervention that could offer a perspective to end this pandemic (other than to let it run its disastrous course) is VACCINATION. If you havent, its new to you. In the case of antibiotics, its called developing antibiotic resistance; in the case of vaccines, its called immune escape. He is no stranger to vaccines. This brings us to our topic, a misinformation-filled open letter by a scientist named Geert Vanden Bossche that went viral over the weekend. Vanden Bossche has been able to avoid allegations of peddling such a cure at least in the credulous anti-vaccine community because his resume legitimately includes stints at companies or initiatives involved in vaccine development, including The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This material may not be reproduced without permission. Er is dus nog zeer veel onderzoek nodig naar NK-cellen. Integendeel, zegt vaccinoloog Corinne Vandermeulen (KU Leuven), en ze somt de epidemien op die in het verleden net onder controle gebracht zijn door te vaccineren: Cholera, ebola, polio. While one can barely make any incorrect scientific statements without being criticized by peers, it seems like the elite of scientists who are currently advising our world leaders prefer to stay silent. So-called leaky vaccines are vaccines that prevent disease, but do not appreciably slow transmission of the pathogen. Hij benoemt dat als een mogelijk risico. Hij beweert dat je door veel te vaccineren tijdens een pandemie een nieuwe en veel dodelijkere vorm van het virus kan creren. Now, lets compare the passage above to what Andrew Wakefield wrote about MMR and vaccines: Antibiotic use has selected out multiply resistant, more dangerous, and more pathogenic strains of bacteria. "It is," Vanden Bossche asserted in one of his letters, "reasonable to assume that vaccination of young and healthy people will inevitably lead to long-lived suppression of their variant-nonspecific, innate immune defense." But only ongoing clinical trials will show whether vaccinated individuals recognise SARS-CoV-2 variants differently, and whether mutations decrease vaccine protection in some vaccinated individuals. As I noted when Andrew Wakefield explicitly used the example of Mareks disease to claim that a leaky vaccine to MMR would cause a global catastrophe by selecting for deadly measles variants, yes, a leaky vaccine changes the selective pressure and permits the evolution of highly virulent strains because the virus retains the ability to continue to spread among vaccinated populations, leading to the vaccine selecting for the most virulent mutations. Hij beweert dat de coronavaccins ertoe zullen leiden dat het coronavirus verder muteert en zo bestand wordt tegen die vaccins. Kunnen complimenten de wereld verbeteren? De statisten wilden eerder het herstel van het ancien rgime, onder meer van de staten- en standenorganisaties en de oude vrijheden van de Nederlandse gewesten. Dat zijn cellen die bij ons immuunsysteem horen. Nu is het een ander verhaal. Mass vaccination will only work if the vaccine prevents or decreases transmission; i.e., if it is not leaky (although he doesnt use the term). Covid-19 vaccine mandates for children: what is the science behind this? In verschillende video's op YouTube waarschuwt de Belgische wetenschapper Geert Vanden Bossche voor een ramp nog groter dan de coronacrisis zelf. Bij de vorming van de Verenigde Nederlandse Staten in 1789 vormden zij de eerder conservatieve fractie tegenover de vonckisten. Not for him is the too-slow process of seeking feedback from fellow experts or publishing in the scientific literature (even on a pre-print server). As a result, Im posting this. After all, as Nirenberg and the review article I quoted above note, while it is true that variants of concern demonstrate reduced antibody neutralization, we do not as yet have an absolute correlate regarding how high an antibody level is required to be protective, making the practical meaning of this observation difficult to determine. Hoe kan je achterhalen of een kunstobject echt is? 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. For example, just before the three-minute mark in the video interview of Vanden Bossche by McMillan, Vanden Bossche indicates hes a long-time vaccine developer. Vervolgens wijst hij erop dat de gekende experten nooit ge-fact-checkt worden. So its not surprising that Dr. Vanden Bossches letter reminds me of Andrew Wakefields warning about the MMR vaccine. Dit om een bepaalde sfeer te scheppen. Aangezien het geen debat betreft maar een reactie op een reactie in de vorm van een monoloog is het als leek moeilijk in te schatten wie er wetenschappelijk gelijk heeft. As the innate immune system cannot remember the pathogens it encountered (innate immunity has no so-called immunological memory), we can only continue to rely on it provided we keep it trained well enough. Even so, concern about immune escape is one reason why Pfizer, BioNTech, and Moderna used the entire SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, rather than specific segments of it that might serve as antigens, so that the polyclonal antibody immune response generated would be broad and unlikely to be escaped with single mutationsor even multiple mutations.
