Abstract

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) emerged in China in 2002 and spread to other countries before brought under control. Because of a concern for reemergence or a deliberate release of the SARS coronavirus, vaccine development was initiated. Evaluations of an inactivated whole virus vaccine in ferrets and nonhuman primates and a virus-like-particle vaccine in mice induced protection against infection but challenged animals exhibited an immunopathologic-type lung disease.

Design: Four candidate vaccines for humans with or without alum adjuvant were evaluated in a mouse model of SARS, a VLP vaccine, the vaccine given to ferrets and NHP, another whole virus vaccine and an rDNA-produced S protein. Balb/c or C57BL/6 mice were vaccinated i.m. on day 0 and 28 and sacrificed for serum antibody measurements or challenged with live virus on day 56. On day 58, challenged mice were sacrificed and lungs obtained for virus and histopathology.

Results: All vaccines induced serum neutralizing antibody with increasing dosages and/or alum significantly increasing responses. Significant reductions of SARS-CoV two days after challenge was seen for all vaccines and prior live SARS-CoV. All mice exhibited histopathologic changes in lungs two days after challenge including all animals vaccinated (Balb/C and C57BL/6) or given live virus, influenza vaccine, or PBS suggesting infection occurred in all. Histopathology seen in animals given one of the SARS-CoV vaccines was uniformly a Th2-type immunopathology with prominent eosinophil infiltration, confirmed with special eosinophil stains. The pathologic changes seen in all control groups lacked the eosinophil prominence.

Conclusions: These SARS-CoV vaccines all induced antibody and protection against infection with SARS-CoV. However, challenge of mice given any of the vaccines led to occurrence of Th2-type immunopathology suggesting hypersensitivity to SARS-CoV components was induced. Caution in proceeding to application of a SARS-CoV vaccine in humans is indicated.

Hvor trygge er egentlig de nye vaksinene? 

Vi har lest mye i det siste om plutselige hjertedødsfall. Nye studier viser at covid19-vaksinene kan forårsake betennelse i hjertemuskelen og i hjerteposen. Også Felleskatalogen skriver om slike skadevirkninger i omtalen:   Hjerte (svært sjeldne) Myokarditt, perikarditt

Svineinfluensavaksinen (Pandemrix) ble i etterkant omtalt som en medisinsk skandale. Den viste seg å kunne forårsake narkolepsi, og mange fikk livene sine ødelagt etter denne vaksinen. 

- Vaksine-troverdighet i grus

- En av de største medisinske forskningsskandalene i moderne tid, sier Jan Helge Solbakk, professor i medisinsk etikk. To nye rapporter knuser troverdigheten til norske helsemyndigheter og WHO etter svineinfluensa-pandemien som aldri kom, mener han. Les mer
