🧵 Thread on my statin research 👇🏼

Our analysis in @JAMAInternalMed
21 statin trials, 143,532 participants

The benefits of #statins were minimal & most trial participants who took statins, derived no clinical benefit.

We respond to a critique by @PeterAttiaMD of our systematic review and meta analysis of #statin trials

Proposed guidelines in the UK recommend #statins to all adults if “the person is happy to take a statin”.

Here’s why it’s a bad idea 👇🏼

Do statins cause muscle aches?
~ 50% of patients stop their statins within 1yr of commencing therapy, mostly because of muscle problems.

But a major study published in @TheLancet concluded that statins are rarely to blame.

See why I disagree tinyurl.com/2n69678u Image
Experts proposed that #statins should be available over the counter.

Cardiologist Robert DuBroff and I disagree. 👇🏼

📢CALL FOR ACTION: Citizen petition demands FDA revoke approval of Covid-19 mRNA vaccines
blog.maryannedemasi.com/p/citizen-peti…
New legal challenge - the petition alleges violations of regulatory processes, raises serious safety concerns & concludes the vaccines were “unlawfully approved.”
@Double_Christ @Kevin_McKernan @JesslovesMJK @CanningPharm @Jikkyleaks @MdBreathe @DowdEdward @TheChiefNerdImage
At the heart of the petition is the claim that the FDA “wrongfully and illegally” permitted @pfizer & @moderna_tx to bypass legally required Environmental Assessments (EAs) under 21 CFR Part 25—a crucial regulatory step for biologics.
Under Section 25.15(a), the absence of a proper EA alone is grounds to reject an application.

Moderna itself acknowledged that its mRNA technology falls within the scope of gene therapy regulation. In a 2020 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, the company stated, “Currently, mRNA is considered a gene therapy product by the FDA.”

PART II: Implications of plasmid DNA fragments in blood products
Blind spots in the oversight of blood products, leaves the public in a dangerous state of speculation.
@Kevin_McKernan @Jikkyleaksblog.maryannedemasi.com/p/part-ii-impl…Image
Gene fragments encoding 'SV40' and 'Kanamycin,' which are specific to the plasmid DNA used in vaccine manufacturing of mRNA vaccines, have been identified in blood samples.

If these genetic sequences can persist in the bloodstream after vaccination, and potentially end up in blood products such as fresh frozen plasma, whole blood, or cryoprecipitate, what risks might they pose to recipients?"
Australian Red Cross says there is no evidence risk to a recipient. But it does not track the COVID-19 vaccination status of donors, nor has it tested for these genetic components of mRNA vaccines in donated blood. @RedCrossAU Image

PART 1: Blood samples contain foreign DNA sequences from COVID-19 mRNA vaccine

This 2-part series investigates synthetic DNA fragments unique to mRNA vaccines in blood samples, and the implications for the safety of blood products in Australia. @Kevin_McKernan @Jikkyleaks @P_J_BuckhaultsImage
“The blood samples from people in South Australia contained large numbers of these foreign gene sequences which were not present before [mRNA] vaccination,” explained Professor Petrovsky. Image
These revelations have also prompted calls for accountability at the highest levels of government.

@BroadbentMP and 62 co-signatories are demanding an evidence-based response to restore public trust and ensure vaccine safety.

🚨FDA responds to study on DNA contamination in Pfizer Vaccine
The regulator says the study "does not belong to the FDA," and refuses to address the data that emerged out of its own lab, conducted by students under the supervision of FDA staff, using FDA resources.
@Kevin_McKernan @Jikkyleaksblog.maryannedemasi.com/p/fda-responds…Image
The @US_FDA doesn't address the involvement of three of its own scientists—Dr Shuliang Liu, Dr Tony Wang, and Dr Prabhuanand Selvaraj—who supervised the students conducting the study.

When questioned about potential regulatory actions, such as issuing a public alert, recalling affected vaccine batches, or notifying other agencies, the FDA stood firm in its defence of mRNA vaccine safety.
“If the FDA supplied the materials for the study and provided technical advice through staff supervision, then how can they not be responsible for the data?” @Kevin_McKernan asked. “Do they only deny their connection when the data becomes inconvenient?” Image

💥EXCLUSIVE: FDA lab uncovers excess DNA contamination in COVID-19 vaccines
Explosive revelations as a study conducted at FDA's own lab found residual DNA levels exceeded safety limits by 6 to 470 times. Experts say it's a 'smoking gun.'
@Kevin_McKernan @Jikkyleaksblog.maryannedemasi.com/p/exclusive-fd…Image
Nikolai Petrovsky, a Professor of Immunology and director of Vaxine Pty Ltd, described the findings as a “smoking gun.”

“It clearly shows the FDA was aware of these data. Given that these studies were conducted in their own labs under the supervision of their own scientists, it would be hard to argue they were unaware,” he said.Image
In addition to genome integration, @Kevin_McKernan highlighted another potential cancer-causing mechanism of DNA contamination in the vaccines.

Plasmid DNA fragments entering the cell's cytoplasm with the help of lipid nanoparticles, could overstimulate the cGAS-STING pathway, a crucial component of the innate immune response.

“Chronic activation of the cGAS-STING pathway could paradoxically fuel cancer growth,” McKernan warned.Image

🚨Too many vaccines on the childhood immunisation schedule?

"You don’t get popular by raising questions about vaccines,” said @PGtzsche1

@TracyBethHoeg @StabellBenn @RobertKennedyJr @calleymeansblog.maryannedemasi.com/p/too-many-vac…Image
Vaccinologist Paul Offit once claimed there was no evidence that receiving “thousands” of vaccines could overwhelm or weaken a baby’s immune system.

He postulated that infants have “the theoretical capacity to respond to about 10,000 vaccines at any one time.”

It was validated by Pediatrics, the medical journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics. publications.aap.org/pediatrics/art…Image
But now, even the most entrenched vaccine proponents like Stanley Plotkin say that the @CDCgov schedule for immunising children is "too crowded."
The solution? Plotkin says we need "combination" vaccines - he believes fewer injections, means fewer adverse events. Image
