Covid-19 is back in force with a new XEC sub-variant of the Omicron family which is spreading like wildfire. Will we soon have in France the new so-called replicating or self-amplifying mRNA vaccine, already used in Japan? Explanations with Jean-Marc Sabatier*.
While monkeypox suddenly disappeared from radars (and TV screens), Covid-19 made a notable comeback. Identified in June 2024 in Berlin, the XEC sub-variant of SARS-CoV-2, from the Omicron family, is spreading at high speed throughout Europe and particularly in France. An autumn vaccination campaign has been announced by the Directorate General of Health: it will take place from October 15, 2024 to January 31, 2025 at the same time as the flu vaccination campaign. Two vaccines for the price of one! Waiting for the arrival of self-amplifying vaccines?
“Damage to the human body”
We know that the mRNA vaccines used against Covid-19 during the pandemic were not very effective. Very often, they have had serious side effects that health authorities refuse to recognize. Today, new vaccines are hitting the market. These are so-called self-amplifying or replicating vaccines, already accepted in Japan since 2023.
What is it about? In these new generation viruses, a portion of RNA has been inserted, coding for a replicase complex. The replicase complex has RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity. This means that it is capable of creating the RNA strand complementary to the initial RNA strand, with paired nucleotides. It will therefore produce double-stranded RNA. This second complementary strand cannot be translated into protein by the cell’s ribosome, but it will serve as a template to make another strand of RNA identical to the self-amplifying messenger RNA. Hence the term “self-amplifying”.
Japan will vaccinate elderly people this week with these new self-amplifying mRNA vaccines. A heresy, for Jean-Marc Sabatier who foresees “damage to the human organism, due to so-called continuous production over time”.
In theory, no need for reminders anymore
Are they dangerous? “These products are not “vaccines” since they do not protect against infection and transmission of the virus. They do not correspond to true “gene therapy” either, since they do not provide treatment. They are in reality dangerous, says Jean-Marc Sabatier. And no one knows what their effects will be on the human body in the more or less long term. The advantage, for manufacturers, is that smaller doses are required than the conventional mRNA vaccine and that there is no need, in theory, for boosters. »
Are these new vaccines safe? “Certainly not,” emphasizes Jean-Marc Sabatier. With current vaccines, we realize that the production of Spike protein, which should be limited, is not controlled at all. With self-amplifying mRNA vaccines, the Spike protein will eventually be produced continuously, but it is unclear when the self-amplifying mRNA will stop producing Spike. The effects of these new “vaccines” on the body will undoubtedly be very harmful. »
