Today’s e-letter, distributed from Dr. Panda’s substack, quotes a recent study ‘titled, “Covid 19 vaccines and the misinterpretation of perceived side effects clarity on the safety of vaccines,” and is claiming the adverse effects from mRNA vaccines are due to stress caused by the ‘anti-vaxxers’! 

“This absolutely mind-blowing study has been posted to the National Library of Medicine’s (official US Government website) website.”

“From the study:

“This biological mechanism (the constriction of veins, arteries and vessels under mental stress) is the most likely cause for where there has been blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, dizziness, fainting, blurred vision, loss of smell and taste that may have been experienced shortly after vaccine administration. The extreme mental stress of the patient could most likely be attributed to the fear mongering and scare tactics used by various anti-vaccination groups.”

“The author, Ray Palmer, is claiming post vaccine adverse events are actually caused by anti-vax misinformation.

“On his Linkedin profile, Mr. Palmer is an electrical engineer who dabbles in Astronomy. In 2019 he decided to take online courses in Gene Therapy scoring a B+, Woo! Sometime after that he decided to go to Harvard, the online version that offers a free trial.

“He also has an anti-aging YouTube channel. I could go on but for what? Point is his credentials are junk and he’s unqualified to be writing a published study on mRNA anything. Makes me wonder…. is he getting paid to write fake research papers or is he truly that brainwashed and believes all he wrote?

“Now, we should dismiss this paper for what it is, junk. BUT there are people, groups out there that want you to believe this. Does anyone remember the flood of articles last summer trying to persuade the public – anything causes adverse events but the vaccine!”

Comment: I am just wondering who experiences more stress: the vaccinated who live close to normal lives, or the unvaccinated who were harrased at work, suspended or fired, who were denied access to many services (including travel and some medical procedures)? And how come all adverse events occur after the jab, not before? If mental stress is causing them, this should not be the case. The vaxxed have no reason to be stressed out, as they got the vaccine which they believed was safe and effective. Otherwise, they would not have taken it. The unvaxxed, on the other hand, live in everyday fear of infection with a deadly virus (or bioweapon?), which must be causing a tremendous amount of stress. And yet, they don’t suffer from the advers events attributed by accomplished scientists to the vaccines. I think I know why. Perhaps thinking protects them from adverse events. Thinking is good for you but, if you are not used to it, it may hurt you. This study is garbage. My opinion.

BTW, the study was published in section “Biomedicine, Taipei” (Taiwan) and the author, according to his own Linkedin profile, is fluent in Chinese. Go figure!
