Concerns About the Risks of mRNA Vaccines: Are We Asking the Right Questions?

In late 2020, with much of the world under lockdown or facing draconian restrictions on movement, the development of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 was widely portrayed as a medical miracle. Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna rolled out the experimental shots at unprecedented speed, promising to save millions of lives. But now a growing number of voices – scientists, doctors, and ordinary observers alike – are raising new concerns about the technology’s safety. From lipid nanoparticles to pseudouridine, some of the lesser-known ingredients in mRNA vaccines are coming under increased scrutiny.

When mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were first rolled out, much of the safety debate centered around the spike protein – the molecule our cells produce to trigger immunity. Critics pointed to research suggesting it could harm blood vessels or spark inflammation, potentially explaining side effects such as myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) or clotting. But as concerns have evolved, the spotlight has widened.

While the spike protein remains a key worry – especially for its alleged role in myocarditis – today’s critics are digging deeper, questioning the long-term safety of the entire mRNA-based approach.

The lack of long-term safety data

At the heart of mRNA vaccines is a simple idea: deliver genetic instructions to our cells to produce a protein that triggers an immune response. Unlike traditional vaccines, which use weakened viruses or proteins, mRNA vaccines rely on synthetic messenger RNA wrapped in tiny fat bubbles called lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). These LNPs act like delivery trucks, carrying the mRNA into our cells. It’s clever stuff, but evidence suggests the approach might not be as safe as we’ve been told.

One major concern is the LNPs themselves. These fatty shells are crucial for protecting mRNA from breaking down and getting it into our cells, but they’re not without issues. Early versions of LNPs were found to be toxic, causing inflammation and even damaging cell membranes. While newer designs, like those used in COVID-19 vaccines, are supposed to be safer, some researchers argue they can still trigger immune reactions or build up in organs like the liver, raising questions about long-term effects.

Another ingredient raising concern is pseudouridine, a modified nucleoside molecule added to mRNA to make it more stable and less likely to trigger an immune attack. This tweak was key to making vaccines like Pfizer’s and Moderna’s work, supposedly boosting their efficacy to over 90 percent. But there’s a catch: pseudouridine might not be as harmless as it seems. Critics point to research showing that modified mRNA can still spark inflammation. The lack of long-term safety data in this area is fueling unease.

Perhaps the most troubling concern is ‘off-target delivery,’ where LNPs carry mRNA to the wrong places in the body. The liver is the primary destination for these nanoparticles, but research shows they can also end up in the spleen and lungs. This raises the possibility that mRNA could instruct cells in these organs to produce spike proteins, potentially triggering inflammation or other damage.

The world deserves honest answers

These concerns aren’t just scientific nitpicks. They reflect a deeper issue: a lack of transparency and long-term scrutiny in the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine rollout. The speed of development was ultrarapid, leaving little time to study how the technologies involved might behave years down the line.

Far from being based on settled science, there remains much that we still don’t know about mRNA vaccines. Only rarely does the legacy media acknowledge this. The world deserves honest answers to these concerns, not just dismissive reassurances that everything is fine.

Paul Anthony Taylor

Executive Director of the Dr. Rath Health Foundation and one of the coauthors of our explosive book, “The Nazi Roots of the ‘Brussels EU'”, Paul is also our expert on the Codex Alimentarius Commission and has had eye-witness experience, as an official observer delegate, at its meetings.

Prior to joining the Foundation, Paul's background was in the music industry, where he worked as a keyboard player and programmer with artists including Paul McCartney, Bryan Ferry, Bill Withers, the Verve, Texas, and Primal Scream.

He first became interested in natural health after falling ill with a chronic fatigue syndrome-related disorder in 1991 and subsequently making a full recovery through the use of natural health therapies. After meeting Dr. Rath and Dr. Niedzwiecki at an anti-Codex rally in Berlin in 2002, Paul was inspired to make a life-changing decision to leave the music industry to work for the Foundation and help defend the right of patients worldwide to have free access to natural health approaches.

Der Executive Director der Dr. Rath Health Foundation ist einer der Koautoren des explosiven Buchs „Die Nazi-Wurzeln der Brüsseler EU“. Paul ist auch unser Experte zum Thema „Codex Alimentarius-Kommission“ und hat Augenzeugenerfahrung als offizieller beobachtender Teilnehmer bei diesen Treffen.

Bevor er seine Arbeit bei der Stiftung antrat war Paul in der Musikindustrie aktiv. Er arbeitete als Keyboard-Spieler und Programmierer mit Künstlern wie Paul McCartney, Bryan Ferry, Bill Withers, the Verve, Texas und Primal Scream.

Sein Interesse an natürlicher Gesundheit wuchs, als er 1991 an Störungen erkrankte, die aus einem chronischen Erschöpfungssyndrom resultierten. Durch natürliche Gesundheitstherapien wurde er schließlich vollständig geheilt. Ein Treffen 2002 mit Dr. Rath und Dr. Niedzwiecki bei einer Anti-Codex-Demonstration in Berlin inspirierte ihn zu einer lebensverändernden Entscheidung und er verließ die Musikindustrie um für die Stiftung zu arbeiten und das Recht der Patienten zu verteidigen, weltweit freien Zugang zu natürlichen Gesundheitsverfahren zu haben.
