The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed the swift development and distribution of mRNA vaccines, including BNT162b2, to address the disease. Concerns have arisen about the potential neurodevelopmental implications of these vaccines, especially in susceptible groups such as pregnant women and their offspring.

The study examined how the Pfizer jab affected the brains of neonatal rats, focusing on potential harms to offspring of pregnant vaccinated mothers. The researchers made three key findings:
• In both male and female rats, the vaccine altered genes and brain chemicals involved in brain development, making “a profound impact on key neurodevelopmental pathways.”
• Male rats born to vaccinated mothers showed “pronounced” signs of autism, such as antisocial behavior and repetitive, OCD-like conduct.
• Male rats also grew “substantially” fewer brain cells in “critical brain regions,” and showed problems with coordination and agility.
The researchers cautioned that it is always possible the shots work differently in humans than in rats, but they aren’t aware of what that difference could be.
I was greatly encouraged that, this time, the study didn’t bother with any magic language about the jabs’ safety and efficacy, or their importance during the pandemic. Not a word pushing the jabs. And the phrase “swift development and distribution” suggested (between the lines) a lack of adequate testing. And the study got published anyway! That’s incredible progress. Things seem to be moving faster in the right direction.
