Q&A #07 - For those who still need more clarification on the Marek parallel

Q&A #07 with Geert Vanden Bossche

Question

Dr. Vanden Bossche,

I have been following you since March of this year. I appreciate all that you have been doing. I have a serious question for you. I’ve read the Andrew Read study on Marek’s disease Vaccines Are Pushing Pathogens to Evolve | Quanta Magazine.

But this statement you made below, for me, needs to be clarified.

“…allosteric mutations and ADE, remember? It’s ADE that is going to tip the balance in the wrong and irreversible direction. ADE in vaccinees will provide the virus with exceptional virulence and make it resemble Marek in unvaccinated”

“ADE in vaccinees will provide the virus with exceptional virulence and make it “RESEMBLE”  Marek in unvaccinated.” Could you please clarify:

• Are you saying that the “exceptional virulence” will mirror that which was experienced by the unvaccinated chickens in the Read study?

• Or are you saying that the Covid vaccinees will experience the same sort of ADE as the unvaccinated chickens experienced in said Read study?

In other words, does your concern have any relevance, in this context, for the unvaccinated? Perhaps I’m being too fine in my reading of the transcript, but to me it is a bit confusing.

My reading of your writings has lead me to assume that you are more concerned about the vaccinees than the unvaccinated, so I don’t want to be wrong in repeating your warnings.

In the READ study it was clear that the unvaccinated chickens got the worst of it from the ADE of the vaccinated chickens, which is why I ask the question.

Thanks, in advance, for answering.

Answer

What I meant to say is that the level of impact of ADE (Antibody-Dependent Enhancement) on morbidity and mortality in humans vaccinated against Omicron could be similar to that observed in non-vaccinated chickens contracting Marek.

While having a protective effect against disease, vaccination against Marek disease using imperfect/ leaky vaccines leads to increased viral virulence (i.e., enhanced morbidity and mortality rate) in unvaccinated chicken.

I predict that mass vaccination of humans with imperfect/ leaky C-19 vaccines against Omicron will result in high rates of morbidity and mortality from SARS-CoV-2 in the very vaccinees, especially if treatment protocols keep being disapproved.

But symptoms of Marek disease in chicken are, of course, very different from those provoked by an enhanced form of C-19 disease in humans.
