In what seems like an inevitable development, scientists Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman have been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine for their role in developing the mRNA technology underlying the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines which were rolled out in late 2020.
But in a paper published as recently as 2018 and which is extensively quoted in an article at MedPageToday here, none other than Drew Weissman warned that prior clinical trials of mRNA vaccines had produced results which were “more modest in humans than was expected based on animal models…and the side effects were not trivial,” including “moderate and in rare cases severe injection site or systemic reactions.”
Furthermore, Weissman specifically pointed to risks of autoimmune reactions and “pathological thrombus formation” – or blood-clotting – which have become all-too-familiar in the intervening years since vaccine rollout. Thus, summarizing the paper by Weissman and three colleagues in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, MedPageToday continues:
Their chief safety concerns, which they said should be closely watched in future trials, were about local and systemic inflammation, as well as keeping tabs on the “expressed immunogen” and on any auto-reactive antibodies.
“A possible concern could be that some mRNA-based vaccine platforms induce potent type I interferon responses, which have been associated not only with inflammation but also potentially with autoimmunity,” they wrote. “Thus, identification of individuals at an increased risk of autoimmune reactions before mRNA vaccination may allow reasonable precautions to be taken.”
The authors also noted that extracellular RNA could contribute to edema, and cited a study that showed it “promoted blood coagulation and pathological thrombus formation.”
The MedPageToday article is titled “Want to Know More About mRNA Before Your COVID Jab?” How many readers actually went ahead and got it after they knew? At least readers of the MedPageToday article cannot say they lacked informed consent.
But why did so few know otherwise about these concerns? And why did Weissman, who was frankly raising them in 2018, then get on the “safe and effective” bandwagon in 2021, which would take him directly to the Nobel Prize.

Many world leading medical specialists and even the inventor of the mRNA platform, Dr. Robert Malone, have been vilified as “conspiricists” and had their careers and livelihoods crucified for warning of exactly this. It’s always the initial fate of whistle-blowers, especially if they stand in the way of hundreds of billions in profit and absolute (corrupting) political power.
I’m surprised this pre-Covid Crazy article hasn’t been ‘disappeared’ given its truthfulness. It’s early days and if it gets too much traction and dissemination, I wouldn’t at all be surprised if this happened. Par for the course in the ongoing propaganda efforts to avoid accountability and mislead…otherwise known as ‘DISinformation’.
The resulting hike in All Cause mortality data has confirmed this medical experiment was far from safe! Not one Kiwi who got the jab had correct, legally required Informed Consent! Worse, many were coerced via mandates and threats of “no jab no job” by the easily suggestible, turned state enforcers.
Amazing isn’t it? That most of the politicians are too scared to talk about it? Is it just fear of justice catching up with them, or are they still afraid of the intellectually mediocre, partisan bullies who call themselves ‘journalists’, especially with an election in full swing?
What proportion of the population are still brainwashed? Perhaps the number lining up for another booster…
At this point and because of the scale of what has been done in the name of a virus, that for most was a bad flu, all we can hope for in the interim is karmic justice.
I’m still stunned at how unhinged our country got and how cynically authoritarian and callous the political class were in those three years. A 21st Century hysteria, complete with requisite ‘witch-hunts’. That was way more frightening than the virus!
Hipkins has already attempted the revisioning whitewash by saying Kiwis had a choice. That made my skin crawl! It was a stunning and morally vile rewriting of recent history and only confirmed they DO know what was done was wrong! History will record it as such.
There will be an accounting and I hope it’s in their lifetimes!
In the meantime, I fully encourage the jab pushers to put their own lives where their bullying mouths are and get another booster. It might do us all a favour. Karma.
