"The food you eat isnt sterile, he explained, the dust you inhale isnt sterile, the water you drink isnt sterile.. Its been accompanied by a video interview posted towhere else?antivaxxer Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.s Childrens Health Defense website. Antibiotica werken rechtstreeks in op de bacterie. Thus if evidence emerges that particular variants do appear to influence vaccine efficacy, it should be possible to periodically reformulate the vaccines so that they better match the circulating strains. View geert vanden bossche's profile on LinkedIn, the world's largest professional community. Reading the letter, what it reminded me, more than anything else, is an article that Andrew Wakefield wrote about the MMR vaccine and measles, published a few months before the pandemic hit. Virussen worden doorgaans niet dodelijker naarmate ze muteren, stipt vaccinoloog Isabel Leroux-Roels (Universiteit Gent) aan, omdat een virus er voor zijn verspreiding belang bij heeft dat zijn gastheer blijft leven. It protects us from a multitude of pathogens, thereby preventing these pathogens from causing disease. 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. Even if it were evolving resistance, once again, the answer would be to reformulate the vaccine in order to include the altered antigens, the same conclusion made when considering the possibility that B. pertussis was evolving resistance or that evolutionary drift was leading to the predominance of strains not covered by the vaccine. Geert Vanden Bossche - PhD, DVM - Independent | LinkedIn Dr. Vanden Bossche received his DVM from the University of Ghent, Belgium, and his PhD degree in Virology from the University of. En wat doen we ondertussen dan? 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. Please read and share: https://t.co/0Fupw9JInP #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/I24mSjpVKM, Geert Vanden Bossche (@GVDBossche) March 6, 2021. He reminds me of another doctor who spread misinformation about COVID-19 vaccination based on an unbending principle of immunology to justify his concerns, without any clinical or epidemiological evidence to support it. Integendeel: die strategie helpt net om een epidemie onder controle te krijgen. [1] Zijn proefschrift gaat over veranderingen in oppervlakte-eigenschappen van virale deeltjes en hun infectieus gedrag. Its at this point, though, that Dr. Vanden Bossche throws in a twist specific to COVID-19 in which he argues that undertaking a mass vaccination campaign during a pandemic is dangerous. Deze pagina is voor het laatst bewerkt op 2 nov 2022 om 05:23. In the first two letters alone, he uses some variation of the phrase "it is reasonable to assume" at least seven times. There's even grift likely involved! p.528-531. His argument sounds a lot like an argument Andrew Wakefield once made for MMR. Bent u getuige van een nieuwsfeit of hebt u zelf nieuws te melden? 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. These assumptions come without scientific studies or data to support them and indeed are not always reasonable. Hij benoemt dat als een mogelijk risico. . Sounds familiar: suboptimal immune pressure + viral variant! Is het levensgevaarlijk om massaal te vaccineren tijdens een epidemie, zoals Vanden Bossche zegt? Add a bio, trivia, and more. De serie gaat over Caro en haar vrienden in hun avonturen in een middelbare school: het SAS (de fictieve School Aan Stroom). 1995 - 2023 by Snopes Media Group Inc. #LikeMe is een Belgische muzikale jeugdserie die wordt uitgezonden sinds 2019. TV Shows. But wait, says Dr. Vanden Bossche. It has been observed that over time Mareks disease virus has become more virulent, and this has been attributed classically to a leaky vaccine effect. Seriously, as a vaccine expert, how is it that Dr. Vanden Bossche does not know this? When this happens, the immune system has to rely on more specialized effectors of our immune system (i.e., antigen-specific Abs and T cells) to fight the pathogen. Vanden Bosche argues that widespread vaccination will put evolutionary pressure on the viruses to develop adaptations in this case changes to the spike protein that allows the virus to infect cells in a way that will allow it to escape the vaccine's protection. 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. And so am I. I searched PubMed for what I expected to be an extensive publication record on vaccines and foundeight publications, the most recent of which was from 1994 and none of which have anything to do with vaccines. En video is zelfs een miljoen keer bekeken. p.381-386. It is, as McGill's Jonathan Jarry wrote and as Yale's Omer told us, a classic example of the appeal-to-nature fallacy that invokes the primacy of natural solutions, mechanisms, or substances over those deemed unnatural and human created. Snopes and the Snopes.com logo are registered service marks of Snopes.com, Image Via Screencapture / geertvandenbossche.org. He even entitled his nonsensical screed The Sixth Extinction: Vaccine Immunity and Measles Mutants in a Virgin Soil. Vanden Bossche ist nach eigenen Angaben Veterinrmediziner mit einem Abschluss in Virologie. and to induce herd immunity (which is exactly the opposite of what current Covid-19 vaccines do as those increasingly turn vaccine recipients into asymptomatic carriers who are shedding virus). Hij beweert dat je door veel te vaccineren tijdens een pandemie een nieuwe en veel dodelijkere vorm van het virus kan creren. Read full document here: https://t.co/DPDFlg4U45 pic.twitter.com/TISexYqyTq, Geert Vanden Bossche (@GVDBossche) March 13, 2021. A viral open letter by Geert Vanden Bossche has gone viral, and antivaxxers have been citing it as slam-dunk evidence that COVID-19 vaccination will lead to global catastrophe. Before this open letter, I hadnt recalled ever having heard of Dr. Vanden Bossche before, so I looked around. In general, you would have a hard time identifying any human vaccine that could be called leaky (though emerging findings regarding influenza vaccines give hints that there may be a leaky vaccine effect involved, given their excellent efficacy among children, who are critical vectors, I am not so convinced- though if we do grant that they are leaky, this only serves to undermine Bossches argument). We can hardly say we didnt know or were not warned. Hun leider was de rechtsgeleerde Hendrik van der Noot (1731 - 1827). Der Urheber der These ist der Belgier Geert Vanden Bossche, der in den Berichten als Impfexperte" oder anerkannter Top-Virologe" bezeichnet wird. As the unprecedented extent of human intervention in the Covid-19- pandemic is now at risk of resulting in a global catastrophe without equal, this call cannot sound loudly and strongly enough. He held adjunct faculty appointments at universities in Belgium and Germany. To follow Dr . 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. If you havent, its new to you. Geert Vanden Bossche is known for Compleetdenkers (2022) and Mdia info cit TV (2020). Des te meer in ons land aangezien hij een Belg is. 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. Let me try to explain this by means of a more easily understood phenomenon: Antimicrobial resistance. Hes arguing that vaccinating the elderly protects them, but because the virus will therefore be forced to infect the young it will only be able to do so if it can somehow escape immunity to the antibodies to spike protein (S-specific Abs) transiently raised in asymptomatic subjects. Vanden Bossche asserts that COVID-19 vaccines pose a unique risk of producing dangerous variants in part because people who are vaccinated will be spreading the mutations while asymptomatic. ", On top of the false notion that imperfect vaccine antibodies will hamper the overall immune system on its own, Vanden Bossche claims that the prolonged lockdowns have left our innate immune system out of practice. Opleiding Vanden Bossche studeerde achtereenvolgens aan de Universiteit van Namen en Gent , waar hij in 1983 zijn doctoraalexamen diergeneeskunde ( DVM ) haalde (cum laude). If the virus manages to do so, it can benefit from the (momentarily) suppressed innate immunity, thereby causing disease in an increasing number of these subjects and ensuring its own propagation. Bioavailability of two ibuprofen oral paste formulations is fasted and non fasted ponies. Whats particularly dangerous about Dr. Vanden Bossches misinformation is that, on the surface, he appears to be a vaccine expert, whom antivaxxers touting his open letter (and all the follow-up science hes been Tweeting and posting to his website) have been describing as a worlds expert in vaccines. Dr. Vanden Bossche has also taken to social media to air his concerns, and his message has been enthusiastically embraced by antivaxxers: Lets just say this. Knack wou mijn reactie niet publiceren, het was nochtans een eer-rovend vuilbakartikel van Rien Emmery. See what I mean? The virus is now able to escape immunity (so-called: immune escape). Covid-19 vaccine mandates for children: what is the science behind this? Vanden Bossche studeerde achtereenvolgens aan de Universiteit van Namen en Gent, waar hij in 1983 zijn doctoraalexamen diergeneeskunde (DVM) haalde (cum laude). Come to think of it, the similarities between Dr. Vanden Bossche and Andrew Wakefield strike me as stronger than ever now, given that, as well documented by Brian Deer, Wakefield basically published his fraudulent science to support the claim that the MMR vaccine causes autism in order to make a market for his own single vaccine against the measles. The second benefit to Vanden Bossche's claim is that it places his purported invention as the miracle solution to the COVID-19 pandemic. "Vanden Bossche received his DVM from the University of Ghent, Belgium, and his PhD degree in Virology from the University of Hohenheim, Germany. Partijvoorzitters De Wever en Mahdi willen landen (maar pinnen zich ook niet vast op Amerikaanse president Joe Biden succesvol behandeld voor huidkanker, Gepensioneerde gevangenisdirecteur zit nu zelf in de cel, nadat cannabisplantage bij hem is gevonden. The molecular weight cut-off of microcapsules is determined by the reaction between alginate and polylysine. (Indeed, thus far, it appears that this is the case.) Some of you might have seen it already published elsewhere (although this is an edited/abridged version of the original post). We hebben Geert Vanden Bossche gevraagd om te reageren, maar hij verkoos dat niet te doen. Door verder te surfen gaat u akkoord met. If you are a potential patient and found this page through a Google search, please check out Dr. Gorski's biographical information, disclaimers regarding his writings, and notice to patients here. Geert Vanden Bossche is a scientist who published an open letter warning of global catastrophe due to deadly variants of COVID-19 selected for by mass vaccination. Indien zijn theorie klopt maar er was geen wetenschapper die daarvoor publiekelijk gewaarschuwd had zou dat door de media-experten nog kunnen zijn weggezet als schuld van de ongevaccineerden of als bewijs hoe ernstig het virus toch wel is en hoe belangrijk het was dat we al die maatregelen namen. "The underlying fallacy," Omer explained, is that a natural infection is better than a vaccine. Last Monday, I provided international health organizations, including the WHO, with my analysis of the current pandemic as based on scientifically informed insights in the immune biology of Covid-19. Ik heb een lijst van professoren die mijn bezorgdheden delen en zal deze publiceren. Honderdduizenden mensen zagen zijn boodschap intussen. As a result, Im posting this. #COVID19 #openthedebate, Geert Vanden Bossche (@GVDBossche) March 7, 2021. Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche is a veterinary doctor who also has a Ph.D. in virology. A recent review article suggests that immune escape by variants of SARS-CoV-2 is a possibility, but one that hasnt been definitively observed or demonstrated yet: So is there cause for concern? Archeologen tonen verborgen gang die ze ontdekten in 4.500 jaar oude piramide van Cheops in Egypte, Het kraakpaleis werd ontruimd, terwijl het een mogelijk alternatief biedt, Open brief: Boos op onze politieke leiders. Aert van den Bossche or the Master of the Crispinus and Crispinianus-Legend (also known as Aert Panhedel, Aert van Panhedel, Arnoul de Panhedel, Arnoul Vanden Bossche and Harnoult van den Boske) was an Early Netherlandish painter of altarpieces, active in Brussels and Bruges in the late 15th century. Dat is net de aangeboren respons die aangewakkerd wordt., Virussen die resistent worden tegen vaccins, zien we amper. Het werkt op verschillende fronten tegelijk. Integendeel, de uitbraken zijn onder controle gebracht.. Therefore he has zero credibility when it comes to advising the public or anyone else about how to avoid negative effects of mass vaccination. The classic example of a leaky vaccine is actually the one for Mareks disease, caused by a herpesvirus that infects chicken and causes lymphoma among other illnesses. They do not. The more extensively the later age group will be vaccinated and hence, protected, the more the virus is forced to continue causing disease in younger age groups. Because of their fast (NK cells) and universally protective effect, Univac vaccines are uniquely suited to prevent pathogenic agents from escaping host immune responses as of an early stage of infection or immune-mediated disease. VRT journalist Vincent Merckx melde dat Vanden Bossche niet wou reageren, die informatie is dus vals. Geert Vanden Bossche is een Belgische dierenarts, viroloog, zelfverklaard mRNA-vaccinatie specialist en onafhankelijk onderzoeker en adviseur op het gebied van vaccins. Fact-checkers noemt Vanden Bossche marionetten van een georkestreerde smaadcampagne die zich als leek willen mengen in zulk complex gegeven als virologie. Er zijn genoeg mensen die mij in mijn betoog steunen. Bij de vorming van de Verenigde Nederlandse Staten in 1789 vormden zij de eerder conservatieve fractie tegenover de vonckisten. This new type of vaccines harnesses the power of the immune system by unlocking the untapped potential of self-centered Natural Killer (NK) cells capable of recognising these unconventional antigens. Hij waarschuwt met name voor de risico's van het vaccineren van kinderen met mRNA-vaccins. As we explain below, this scenario is speculative, scientifically flawed, logically inconsistent, and belied by actual data. Vanden Bossche neemt geen woord terug van zijn stellingen.

Check out pictures, bibliography, biography and community discussions about Geert Vanden Bossche Even more hilariously (and a bit uncomfortably) Frei is pretty spot on when she notes: However, this is on very shaky ground. "There can be no doubt," Vanden Bossche asserts, "that lack of exposure due to stringent containment measures implemented as of the beginning of the pandemic has not been beneficial to keeping peoples innate immune system well trained. Sep 13, 2021. This material may not be reproduced without permission. You know what? An example of a leaky vaccine is the vaccine against Mareks disease, highly contagious and deadly viral disease of chicken that is a major problem in the poultry industry, and Dr. Vanden Bossche relies on this precedent, as Nirenberg explains: For a moment though, lets entertain the notion that the vaccines are leaky. In any case, I got a particularly strong brave maverick vibe from this passage: While there is no time to spare, I have not received any feedback thus far. 1. Ultimately, most vaccines are based on a recombinant spike protein sequence. Relatiedeskundige Rika Ponnet beantwoordt de vraag van de week: "Moeder-dochterrelaties zijn meest complexe relaties Dan toch geen Europees verbod op benzine- en dieselwagens? Speaking with McGill University's Office for Science and Society, Dr. Paul Offit, a doctor and vaccine scientist who serves as director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, explained that no matter where one is or was quarantined, you are still constantly exposed to microorganisms challenging your immune system. 70 ID:bdLlFOqq0 >>1 3 . "Dat is een compleet ander mechanisme. Several variations of the originally isolated strain have emerged since the start of the pandemic, and some of these variants are more infectious, contagious, or possibly deadly. However, NK cell-based vaccines will primarily enable our natural immunity to be better prepared (memory!) In fact, I basically said the same thing in 2019 when writing about Andrew Wakefields invocation of the same argument regarding the MMR vaccine and measles variants. Geert Vanden Bossche Stokes Fear of COVID-19 Vaccine To Promote His Own Flawed 'Solution' Anti-vaccine activists are promoting a veterinarian's claim that the only way to prevent a future. The role of spike protein variability inT cell immunity is likely to be elucidated in experimental studies in the next few months; a priori, the enhanced repertoire of T cell epitopes makes the loss of cytotoxic activity or recognition improbable. Truly, in the age of COVID-19, everything old is new again, and the antivaccine grift continues. Ik ben onafhankelijk en neutraal, heb geen aandelen bij vaccin fabrikanten en ben niet gebonden aan contracten die bepalen wat ik al dan niet mag zeggen. This will, indeed, require large vaccination campaigns. Waiting for Vanden Bossche's "universal vaccine" is no way to win such a race. 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. One can easily extrapolate this scourge to resistance to our self-made antiviral antibiotics. En wat met die massale sterftegolf die Geert Vanden Bossche voorspelt? Hes selling his idea of a vaccine designed to activate natural killer cells. 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. Je laten vaccineren lijkt wel het nieuwe dopen. Menu. The technology obviates the need for traditional adjuvants, multiple boost injections or expensive manufacturing processes and is readily compatible with intradermal or mucosal administration. This is only going to be possible provided it escapes to the S-specific Abs that are momentarily raised in previously asymptomatically infected subjects. Of course, the noble purpose of these Abs is to protect us against Covid-19. Snoeck noemt het onomwonden technische nonsens die voor een niet-wetenschapper moeilijk te doorprikken zijn. Dan vraag ik me af waar we mee bezig zijn. Although non-self and exposed on the surface of infected or pathologically altered cells, these antigens are not effectively recognised upon natural infection or disease. Freya Van den Bossche (born 26 March 1975) is a Belgian ( Flemish) politician and daughter of prominent former Belgian politician Luc Van den Bossche. Are vaccines destined for a similar fate? Reality aside, invoking the innate immune system provides two rhetorical benefits. "Natural infection kills. This is what COVID-19 vaccines do, and their ability to reduce the opportunities for the virus to mutate is why rapid vaccination is imperative. ), lets just review what Wakefield claimed about the MMR vaccine back in 2019. Eerst werd het nog genegeerd maar door de vele vragen hierover voelde VRTNWS zich toch genoodzaakt te reageren op haar website. Het zou dan gaan om een wetenschappelijke vergissing met mogelijks ongeziene gevolgen. https://t.co/DPYKE7kxmM, Geert Vanden Bossche (@GVDBossche) March 15, 2021, The science behind the catastrophic consequences of thoughtless human intervention in the Covid-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, it remains untouched by those who have the power to act. For vaccines, resistance equates to strains of the microbe, the virus, or the bacteria that can elude the imperfect immunity created by the vaccine. The resulting type of immune response is unprecedented and licenses the host immune system to readily eliminate infection or to cure disease across a broad range of unrelated pathogens and/ or mammalian species. Dat zal volgens hem wereldwijd tot veel doden leiden. Release Calendar Top 250 Movies Most Popular Movies Browse Movies by Genre Top Box Office Showtimes & Tickets Movie News India Movie Spotlight. Vanden Bossche had drie jaar lang een start-up die een NK-vaccin wilde ontwikkelen. Samen zetten zij zich evenwel af tegen het beleid van keizer Jozef II en streefden zij naar de onafhankelijkheid van de Zuidelijke Nederlanden, hetgeen leidde tot de Brabantse Omwenteling (1789 - 1790). 1 jaar oorlog in Oekrane: hoe geraken we hieruit? Bij de vorming van de Verenigde Nederlandse Staten in 1789 vormden zij de eerder conservatieve fractie tegenover de vonckisten. So its not surprising that Dr. Vanden Bossches letter reminds me of Andrew Wakefields warning about the MMR vaccine. Jul 4, 2022 Replying to @GVDBossche This suboptimal immune pressure exerted by large populations is now confronted with a viral variant! De serie is bedacht en geproduceerd door Thomas Van Goethem en is een coproductie tussen Fabric Magic en Ketnet, die de serie ook uitzendt.Elke aflevering bevat twee musicalnummers, telkens . The mechanism he invokes is that vaccine-produced antibodies will "outcompete" the more general defenses of the innate immune system. I noted then that there was no evidence that mass vaccination with MMR had produced variants of the measles vaccine resistant to the immunity produced by the vaccine, just as I note now that there is as yet no evidence that SARS-CoV-2 variants are resistant to the immunity produced by current COVID-19 vaccines. Mensen die gevaccineerd zijn, voelen zich soms een dag niet goed, met koorts bijvoorbeeld. Dr. Vanden Bossche is using an eerily similar argument about COVID-19 vaccines and SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, to the one used by Wakefield about MMR vaccine and measles. Zijn pleidooi werd vooral opgevangen en verspreid in de vaccin-kritische beweging. NK cells are part of the cellular arm of our innate immune system and, alike [sic] natural Abs, they are capable of recognizing and attacking a broad and diversified spectrum of pathogenic agents. Bij herpes bijvoorbeeld. 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). Unfortunately, Dr. Vanden Bossches open letter has gone viral and is being spread on antivaccine social media everywhere as slam dunk evidence that COVID-19 vaccines will cause a global catastrophe by selecting for the evolution of highly transmissible and deadly variants of COVID-19 that will escape immunity due to vaccines. Paradoxically, the only intervention that could offer a perspective to end this pandemic (other than to let it run its disastrous course) is VACCINATION. Maar een vaccin werkt niet rechtstreeks in op een virus." Ze vindt wereldwijd slechts twee onderzoeken naar een NK-vaccin tegen COVID-19, die bovendien allebei nog niet van start zijn gegaan. Deze sfeer is mee geschept door de experten en de media. 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. Er bestaat geen bewijs dat de beweringen van Geert Vanden Bossche kan ondersteunen. In de tweede plaats stelt hij dat deze vaccinaties op termijn wellicht auto-immuunziekten zouden kunnen veroorzaken. Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization, Colloidal aspects of enteroviral infectivity in aqueous environments with special emphasis on poliovirus type 1, Factcheck: dierenarts verspreidt onjuistheden over het immuunsysteem en de coronavaccins, The Doomsday Prophecy of Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche, https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Geert_Vanden_Bossche&oldid=63871838. 42(3) .

Gorski, MD, PhD, FACS is a surgical oncologist at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute specializing in breast cancer surgery, where he also serves as the American College of Surgeons Committee on Cancer Liaison Physician as well as an Associate Professor of Surgery and member of the faculty of the Graduate Program in Cancer Biology at Wayne State University. Lets compare Dr. Vanden Bossches letter to what Wakefield wrote back in 2019. As stated, I am not against vaccination. More recently, he set up his own website to publicize his letter: We've put together a website to gather all information, scientific documents and interviews I've posted on this public health emergency.
