COVID-19 Vaccines and MS: A Proposed T-Cell Link
Last week, the World Health Organization put out a
release, uh,
showing that there was a possible causal relationship between
COVID-19 vaccine and multiple sclerosis.
And we're allowed to report on this because it, it is an official WHO
paper. We're limited to other things we can
report, but we can report this.
Now, this is the paper here. It says, "COVID-19 vaccination can
induce multiple sclerosis via cross-reactivity with
T helper cells." Now, what is this actually, uh,
showing? What, what is going on here?
Well, I'm gonna sort of do a quick explanation
of what, uh, seems to be going
on. So what we have here, imagine this is a nerve
fiber here, so the nerve, the, the nerve impulses will travel down here,
and this will be in the brain or the spinal cord.
And these nerve fibers are surrounded by this protective myelin
sheath.
And in the ne- central nervous system, they're made by cells called
oligodendrocytes.
Here we have the spike protein from a natural, uh, SARS
coronavirus 2 infection, and here we have the spike protein
produced by the
vaccine on its own. Now, in learning to recognize, this is the
CD4 lymphocyte here, the T helper cell.
This is the famous T helper cell that's disordered in, um,
in HIV. So when people become immunocompromised,
uh, i-in
AIDS, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome,
um, th- what actually happens is, is the virus, uh, destroys a lot of
these CD4 helper cells until they can't produce any immune response.
But here it's not lack of immune response, it's too much immune response that
is the, uh, the problem.
So, um, the CD4 is learning to recognize, rightly as in the
principles of vaccination, these, uh, these spike proteins,
and it can,
uh, beat up these spike proteins, which of course is, is, uh, good.
These are the spike proteins produced by the vaccine.
And the idea is that will help the CDhelp, s-s- CD helper cells to get rid
of the spike protein should there be, uh, a natural infection, which we could
argue about. But the point is the same sort of chemical profile
that we're
finding on the surface of the spike protein,
um, molecules there, we're finding very similar proteins on the
surface of the...
Well, there are very similar proteins on the
surface of the myelin sheath.
So the T helper cells are also also-
