Abstract

The work is devoted to the analysis of scientific literature data on the consequences of vaccination with foreign mRNA vaccines against COVID-19. Evidence is presented for the presence of delayed, not immediately apparent clinically serious consequences. Particular attention is paid to the theory of «spikeopathy» – the pathogenetic effect of vaccines caused by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Three potential pathogenetic mechanisms are considered that could explain the toxicity observed with the use of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19: 1) chemical toxicity of lipid nanoparticles, 2) direct toxicity of the spike protein, the expression of which is induced by vaccines, 3) destructive effects of the immune response to the protein spike. Evidence is provided of contamination of mRNA vaccines with plasmid DNA, which includes the promoters of the simian virus (SV40), associated with cancer in humans, and metal particles. It has been shown that booster doses of mRNA vaccines may worsen the immune system in immunocompromised individuals. It was noted that after the peaks of increased mortality in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 disease in Russia, no further peaks of increased mortality were observed, while in Europe there was a high mortality rate in 2022 and 2023. The situation was assessed and a conclusion was made about the need for assessments of the possible consequences of vaccination, taking into account delayed consequences.
