One interesting exercise on Twitter is to look at posts by strongly vaccine-enthusiastic accounts such as Dr McAlpine or Rasmussen.

I take it, your account on Twitter still remains suspended? You're missed. And/or is your preference to remain here on Substack, regardless?

Twitter is taking awhile, not sure why. Substack will remain as it provides more space. And no censorship so far

Why is anyone still giving this poison to anyone of any age?

There is some discussion on this point in the paper. Perhaps a good subject for a future post. Overall, the answer seems to be days to weeks.

There are a bunch of questions - whether there is a higher quantity of spike protein being produced, and/or a lower quantity of effective antibodies

I’d like to see someone figure out how long the spike stays in the body for those that have stopped after one and two shots

Hi Dr. Benoit, I have been avidly following your throughout the pandemic when you were on Twitter, and just want to thank you for your efforts. You've been a trusted source for an objective analysis regarding COVID vaccines. Do you have any insights on Novavax in regards to cardiac side-effects? I know there was some chatter last year that the FDA thought the risk of myocarditis may be higher with this vaccine, and lots of cardiac AEs were coming out of Australia. I believe Sweden even suspended it in November for this concern. I once thought this would be a safer alternative to mRNA (I am at high risk for cardiac issues from previous illness and am unvaxxed) but I am no longer thinking this is the case. Thanks again.

Greetings! I have not been following Novavax data - the best source will likely be Australia. As with all the synthetic covid vaccines, it uses the spike protein as an antigen. Presumably there is the possibility of spike protein injury. On Twitter, Professor McDonough from U of Toronto was following the Novavax safety data over the summer - not sure if he is still at it.

It doesn’t necessarily mean Iv injection. This could still be a possibility. There is one small animal study that seems to indicate that I’ve injection is problematic, although it used massive doses of mRNA vaccine. It leaves unanswered the question of what makes the myocarditis cases different.
