Impact of Vaccination on Gut Microbiome
So, the first four patients I started noticing a month later, the bifidobacteria, this important
microbe, is dropping in patients pre- and post-vaccination.
So then I started like asking myself, wait a minute, what's going on here?
I mean, is it creating a bifidophage?
You know, because this is precision medicine.
This is forensics of the gut, right?
You've got your microbiome this way before, and you've got it after, and it's the same
patient, and only a certain group of microbes are getting killed, you've got to pay attention.
So then, you know, 10, 20, 30, 34 patients later, we're seeing this, you know, killing
of the bifidobacteria.
And so, I wasn't going to, first of all, there's no way I was going to publish this, because
nobody would have taken that, so I decided to submit it to the American College of Gastro
as a presentation, as a poster.
It got accepted at the American College of Gastro as a poster, and then it won the Best
Research Award as a poster.
So all my colleagues called me and said, hey, I saw your data, that's incredible.
How do you think this is happening?
What do you, the vaccine's supposed to be, you know, improving your immunity, and we
all know bifidobacteria is a huge part of immunity.
How do you think it's happening?
So then I said, I think it's creating a bacteriophage or bifidophage.
And what we noticed is in four patients that we followed, which were amazing shape, you
know, we followed them for 90 days, and then next thing you know, their bifidobacteria
dropped to like zero, from like a million to like zero.
So it kept persisting.
So there was a persistence in the damage, and not only 90 days, but six months, nine
months later.
So that was the thing that started making me panic.
And then as we were looking at the microbiome of newborns to mothers who were breastfeeding,
we started noticing that there's no bifidobacteria in those newborns.
So we asked ourselves, well, I mean, because newborns are supposed to have a ton of bifidobacteria,
right?
90% of the microbiome of babies is bifidobacteria.
So we said, well, how come these babies born to moms that are breastfeeding that were vaccinated
have zero bifidobacteria?
Is the spike protein going to the breast milk into the baby's gut?
