As of June 20, 2021, this article has been moved from its original home: Coronavirus: SARS-CoV2 Virus and COVID-19 Disease.

As of this writing, there are three vaccines available for COVID-19: Pfizer and Moderna are mana vaccines; Johnson & Johnson is a traditional vaccine. I believe there is a fourth one that will soon be available.

I get many of my quotes from Mercola and Green Med Info articles. Many people think these articles are fraudulent because they attack the vaccine. However, Mercola and GMI research and use info from validated scientific articles that are cited at the end of each of their articles.  For this reason, as a scientist myself,* I trust what they write.

As I learn more about the vaccines for this disease, I will add notes and references here.

‘* I have BAs in Biology and Chemistry, and 4 years of post-graduate work in Bio-Chemistry.

Vaccines & Adjuvants (About)

By Cat, unless another source is noted

Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines use a new technology: mRNA (more on this, below), instead of an altered version of the virus. Johnson & Johnson vaccine uses the traditional virus-based technology.

What is “mRNA?”

It stands for Messenger Ribonucleic Acid, and is related to DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) which “contains the biological instructions that make each species unique” (10); that is, the individual’s genes. mRNA is a copy of a specific section of the DNA – a gene – that is to be used for a specific use; that is, to determine the amino acid sequence of a specific protein. From Wikipedia (3):

• “mRNA is a single-stranded molecule of RNA that corresponds to the genetic sequence of a gene, and is read by a ribosome in the process of synthesizing a protein.”(3a)
•  “RNA is assembled as a chain of nucleotides (3b);
• “Nucleotides are organic molecules consisting of a nucleoside and a phosphate. …. [They] are composed of three subunit molecules: a nucleobase, a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and a phosphate group consisting of one to three phosphates.” (3c)  In simpler terms, nucleotides, are the basic building-blocks of RNA (or DNA) that have specific meaning. 
• “Ribosomes link amino acids together in the order specified by the codons of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules to form polypeptide chains” (3d) [or sections of a protein].
• “Codons:  Each codon codes [translates the genetic code of a specific portion of a gene] for a specific amino acid, except the stop-codons, which terminate protein synthesis.”  (3a)

Most vaccines, to work well, contain an “adjuvant,” which is a toxic substance that gets the attention of the immune system, so it can then recognize the virus and attack it. For example, most vaccines include the toxic heavy metal, aluminum, as the adjuvant.

However, the adjuvant in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines is the mRNA for the “spike protein” (the things on the outside of the COVID-19 molecule). The spike protein is toxic once it enters one of your body’s cells. For more about the toxicity of the spike protein, see The Corona Virus’s Spike Protein section below.

Johnson & Johnson claims not to use an aluminum adjuvant, but as of this writing, they have not made their adjuvant public.

Unfortunately, the adjuvant can also do damage to your body (e.g., aluminum harms the brain); but typically, that damage is not noticed for many years (typically 20 years or more). However, that is not the case for the mRNA COVID vaccines.  Vaccine testing is typically done for at least 2 years before it is allowed to be used with the general public (5 – 20 years is more typical). However, the COVID vaccines were tested for only about 2 months and then declared “safe.” The adjuvant in the mRNA vaccines used against COVID, is the mRNA itself.

As mentioned above, traditional vaccines and the J&J COVID vaccine use an altered version of the virus – they do not deal with the DNA/RNA of the virus.  The Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines use an altered form of mRNA in the virus, and that is where the problem lies – the problem that leads to serious health issues down the road.

The Corona Virus’s Spike Protein

From Mercola article (1a): The Many Ways in Which COVID Vaccines May Harm Your Health, about the “spike protein.”

• “The worst symptoms of COVID-19 are created by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, and that is the very thing gene-based COVID vaccines are instructing your body to make. [Cat’s note: The spike protein in the COVID-19 virus is the knob-like structures that project from the surface of the virus. These spikes are what allow the virus to attach to human cells, and eventually infect them, where they can cause significant harm.]
• While the natural spike protein is bad, the spike protein your body produces in response to the vaccine is even worse, as the synthetic RNA has been manipulated in such a way as to create a very robust and unnatural spike protein.
• The spike protein is toxic in and of itself, and has the ability to induce vascular, heart and neurological damage.
• The COVID-19 vaccine disables the Type I interferon pathway, which explains why vaccinated patients are reporting herpes and shingles infection following COVID-19 vaccination.” [Cat’s note: this is not the most serious problem caused by the vaccine, but it leads to them. For more detail, check out the original article.]

Even Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA vaccine technology, has spoken-out on the potential dangers of COVID-19 gene therapy injections (1Fi and 1Fii); see “Damage That Can Result from COVID Vaccines” section below.
