Huge Group Of Doctors From 30 Countries: ‘There Is No Scientific Foundation To The Concept Of Vaccine Passports’
A group of doctors say natural immunity to coronavirus infection is long lasting but fear people will be coerced into taking top-up vaccines in order to re-access society when their so-called Covid immunity after the jab expires within just six months.
Doctors for Covid Ethics, a group of doctors across Europe and North America, say studies on Covid-19’s closest-related virus to infect humans, SARS, revealed that those who had acquired natural immunity in 2003 remain protected even now.
They also maintain that, even before the onset of vaccination campaigns, most people had become immune to Covid-19, either through infection with the virus itself, often without symptoms or with only mild, uncharacteristic ones, or due to cross-immunity conferred by other, naturally occurring coronaviruses.
On the other hand, the doctors are concerned that once the vaccination “immunity” expires, the holders of Covid passports would need to be re-vaccinated or have had Covid in the last six months, or take a test every 48 hours in order to regain their freedoms.
Doctors for Covid Ethics argue there is no rational case for such a passport, which is currently being used in many countries, adding that immunity from infection is likely to be durable and unaffected by variants.
Doctors for Covid Ethics said:
“There is no scientific foundation to the concept of vaccine passports and no rational case at all for vaccine passports. To set a six-month cut-off [vaccination immunity] is bizarre and arbitrary.”
The doctors argue that the population should be allowed to gain natural immunity, without having to face restrictions such as Covid passports if they wants to travel easily.
“Examining the time course of antibodies in blood samples is not a valid approach to the question of, ‘how long does immunity last?’.
This is because antibodies aren’t the most important host defense mechanism in immunity to viruses. That’s considered to be T-cell memory (cytotoxic as well as ‘helper’ lymphocytes) and B-memory (antibody producing) cells.
Antibodies naturally fall over time if you’re no longer constantly re-challenged with the infective pathogen. As community prevalence falls away, this re-exposure to the virus also diminishes.
When durability of immunity to the closest known virus, SARS, was studied, those who had acquired immunity naturally, through infection in 2003, all retained immunity 17 years later.
There is speculation that ‘variants’ of SARS-CoV-2 might ‘break through’ the immunity gained through natural infection. There is absolutely no evidence for this at all.
In fact, there is very strong evidence to the contrary – that no variant is sufficiently different from the original virus that it’s even possible for ‘immune escape’ to occur.
Several groups of immunologists have shown convincingly that people immune to one variant have T-cells which recognize all the other variants tested. This isn’t a surprise, for no variant differs from the original sequence by more than 0.3 per cent.
In fact, those who had retained immunity to SARS also possessed cross-immunity to SARS-CoV-2. These two viruses differ by approximately 20 per cent.
Obviously, if our immune systems easily recognize two viruses which share 80 per cent similarity, it follows that differences of 0.3 per cent are completely irrelevant, from an immunological perspective.”
The group went on to add that focusing on antibodies in the context of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 is “flawed” and so coercing people into so-called booster vaccines in order to regain their freedoms withdrawn by Governments is wholly inappropriate.
“The whole concept of antibody-based immunity against an air-borne pathogen is flawed because the antibodies are on the wrong side of the wall and cannot intercept viral entry into the respiratory tract epithelium,” added the group.
“Secreted IgA antibodies play no significant role either: selective IgA deficiency does not enhance susceptibility towards coronavirus infections.”
The group also highlights that vaccine companies have been exempt from legal liability for vaccine-induced harm, adding that, for the vast majority of people, SARS-CoV-2 is a non-lethal, typically mild to moderately severe illness.
They said:
“The overwhelming majority of people are not at risk from COVID-19 and do not require vaccination for their own protection.
The vaccines have been touted as a means to prevent asymptomatic infection and, by extension, asymptomatic transmission. However, ‘asymptomatic transmission’ is an artefact of invalid and unreliable PCR test procedures and interpretations, leading to high false-positive rates.
Evidence indicates that PCR-positive, asymptomatic people are healthy false-positives, not carriers. A comprehensive study of 9,899,828 people in China found that out of all participants, only 300 were asymptomatic individuals testing positive for COVID-19 and they never infected others.
In contrast, the papers cited by the Centre for Disease Control to justify claims of asymptomatic transmission are based on hypothetical models, not empirical studies; they present assumptions and estimates rather than evidence. Preventing asymptomatic infection is not a viable rationale for promoting vaccination of the general population.”
The doctors also conveyed their concerns to top politicians, putting them on notice that liability for adverse reactions to the vaccines will fall on them.
Also, Doctors for Covid Ethics wrote at least three letters to the European Medicines Agency, warning executive director Emer Cooke that cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) dominates the list of adverse reactions from the vaccines and is not as rare as the EMA suggests. However, until now their warnings to authorities remained without a clear response.
