Vanden Bossche selection pressure in plain English

By Rob Verkerk PhD and David Lorimer*

In March 2021, Belgian vaccinologist Geert Vanden Bossche DVM PhD who previously worked both with GAVI and the Gates Foundation, appealed to the WHO and other agencies for an open debate and hearing on the advisability of mass vaccination during a pandemic. His main concern was the risk and consequences of immune escape that would likely be induced by the mass use of prophylactic vaccines that neither prevented transmission or infection. Dr Vanden Bossche soon found the agencies that had previously paid him for his expertise were were not in the least bit interested in engaging with him and he was rapidly marginalised by that sector. While the magnitude of the effect has been less than Dr Vanden Bossche originally predicted, the overall dynamics that he alerted the world to are entirely consistent with his prognosis. 

Geert Vanden Bossche has consistently said, most recently in an ANH Speaking Naturally interview by Professor Paul Mills along with Dr Peter McCullough and myself (Rob), that all vaccinologists are trained to ensure vaccines, especially ones that don’t induce full sterilising immunity, are never administered to a population at the height of an outbreak. He also expressed deep concern that the rapidly developed ‘genetic vaccines’, based on mRNA or adenoviral vector technologies, relied exclusively on triggering an immune reaction to just a single protein – namely the spike protein – when the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself was known to contain multiple different proteins (29 in number) that could be presented to the immune system.
