forms of RNA found in the commercially manufactured products than in the products used in
               clinical trials. The latter were produced via a much more tightly controlled manufacturing process.

               Pfizer claims the RNA fragments “likely… will not result in expressed proteins” due to their
               assumed rapid degradation within the cell. No data was presented to rule out protein expression,
               though, leaving the reviewers to comment, “These [fragmented RNA] forms are poorly
               characterised, and the limited data provided for protein expression do not fully address the
               uncertainties relating to the risk of translating proteins/peptides other than the intended spike
               protein” (EMA 2020). To our knowledge no data has been forthcoming since that time.

               While we are not asserting that non-spike proteins generated from fragmented RNA would be
               misfolded or otherwise pathological, we believe they would at least contribute to the cellular stress
               that promotes prion-associated conformational changes in the spike protein that is present.


                   1.  Lessons from Parkinson’s Disease
               Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease associated with Lewy body deposits in the brain,
               and the main protein found in these Lewy bodies is α-synuclein. That protein, α-Synuclein, is
               certainly prion-like insofar as under certain conditions it aggregates into toxic soluble oligomers and
               fibrils (Lema Tomé et al., 2013). Research has shown that misfolded α-synuclein can form first in the
               gut and then travel from there to the brain along the vagus nerve, probably in the form of exosomes
               released from dying cells where the misfolded protein originated (Kakarla et al., 2020; Steiner et al.,
               2011). The cellular conditions that promote misfolding include both an acidic pH and high
               expression of inflammatory cytokines. It is clear that the vagus nerve is critical for transmission of
               misfolded proteins to the brain, because severance of the vagus nerve protects from Parkinson’s.
               Vagus nerve atrophy in association with Parkinson’s disease provides further evidence of the
               involvement of the vagus nerve in transport of misfolded α-synuclein oligomers from the gut to the
               brain (Walter et al., 2018). Another pathway is through the olfactory nerve, and a loss of a sense of
               smell is an early sign of Parkinson’s disease. Ominously, diminution or loss of the sense of smell is
               also a common symptom of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

               There are many parallels between α-synuclein and the spike protein, suggesting the possibility of
               prion-like disease following vaccination. We have already shown that the mRNA in the vaccine ends
               up in high concentrations in the liver and spleen, two organs that are well connected to the vagus
               nerve. The cationic lipids in the vaccine create an acidic pH conducive to misfolding, and they also
               induce a strong inflammatory response, another predisposing condition.

               Germinal centers are structures within the spleen and other secondary lymphoid organs where
               follicular dendritic cells present antigens to B cells, which in turn perfect their antibody response.
               Researchers have shown that mRNA vaccines, in contrast with recombinant protein vaccines, elicit a
               robust development of neutralizing antibodies at these germinal centers in the spleen (Lederer et al.,
               2020). However, this also means that mRNA vaccines induce an ideal situation for prion formation
               from the spike protein, and its transport via exosomes along the vagus nerve to the brain.

               Studies have shown that prion spread from one animal to another first appears in the lymphoid
               tissues, particularly the spleen. Differentiated follicular dendritic cells are central to the process, as
               they accumulate misfolded prion proteins (Al-Dybiat et al., 2019). An inflammatory response
