    The geneticist Alexandra Henrion-Caude publishes a book entitled Les apprentis sorciers. The book openly attacks messenger RNA technology and the Covid-19 vaccines derived from it. A book highly criticized by the scientific community. To see more clearly, Doctissimo has chosen to give him the floor, as well as a researcher who wishes to remain anonymous, to enlighten you on these questions.

    Alexandra Henrion-Caude’s book, The Sorcerer’s Apprentices, was released in bookstores on March 8. In this book, the geneticist looks back on messenger RNA vaccines, the basis of vaccines against Covid-19 and “the folly of injecting them into an entire healthy population“.

    Why did she choose to write this book?

    For Alexandra Henrion-Caude, contacted by Doctissimo, “writing this book was intended to take place over a long period of time and to free up speech“. She explains : “I wanted to publish the facts that I retain and the sources on which I rely. The objective being to build a reflection from facts that we believe to be true at a given moment, without however erecting them as inescapable truth”.

    For the author, it is essential to return to the presentation of messenger RNA vaccines by health authorities and in particular to the message “Get vaccinated! Protect yourself!”. “We were sold these mRNA vaccines as if we knew everything about them, when we had never gone beyond phase 2 in clinical trials carried out for 20 years” adds Alexandra Henrion-Caude.

    Have the health authorities got it wrong?

    Was there an error on the part of the authorities in the management of the Covid crisis? “If we’ve done something stupid, we have to say so and stop vaccinating pregnant women, 6-month-old babies… one of the first principles of medicine is Primum non nocere, first, do no harm to the patient” supports the one who considers herself neither pro nor anti-vax. “For example, all my children have received their mandatory vaccines” she tells us.

    I have always been consistent, my speech has never changed and I think I have the freedom to say what I say since I left Inserm, in early retirement in 2019. Expression is a fundamental right in a democracy and I always rely on a range of arguments before advancing anything”.

    Revelations on “everything we hide from you about messenger RNA”

    In her book, Alexandra Henrion-Caude promises to reveal “everything that is hidden about messenger RNA”, in particular about “the possible modification of our genetic heritage“. She also questions the presence of 90 genetic diseases in Pfizer’s documents.”Even today, no one knows the consequences of vaccination in the medium and long term” believes the former director of research at Inserm, at the risk of alienating a good part of the scientific world.

    The scientific community is up against these remarks

    Since the announcement of the publication of this book and the disclosure of the content of Alexandra Henrion-Caude’s remarks, scientists have been up against the wind.

    Many doctors have been interviewed in the media to re-establish the truth about vaccines, the effects of messenger RNA in the body or to recall that there are no more cancers than before the Covid-19 period. 19. Questioned, Alexandra Henrion-Caude maintains her remarks. “Cancers in young people under 50 (Editor’s note: what she calls turbo-cancers), liver or gastrointestinal cancers are on the increase and the oncologists I know are seeing it on their scale. Admittedly, at this stage, it’s an alert, which I don’t really talk about in the book, except to recall that these vaccines have not had any carcinogenicity or genotoxicity studies, and while we know that all vaccine has undesirable effects, for those everything is denied as a whole and the word of those who try to alert is confiscated” she still thinks.

    The opinion of a medical researcher, to see more clearly

    To try to better understand the positions of Alexandra Henrion-Caude, Doctissimo chose to interview a medical researcher in order to better understand the issues surrounding mRNA vaccines and the effects of vaccination. Not wanting to be taken to task by the antivax or “scientist” camp, either by the general public or by his scientific community, he prefers to remain anonymous; which says a lot about the explosive nature of the debate.

    Have mRNA vaccines accelerated cancer occurrence?

    As a medical researcher, I have to keep a certain ethic and not fall into unfounded theories. By setting up this vaccine, with the existing uncertainties, the risk-benefit balance had to be assessed for each patient, by favoring the vaccination of those who would benefit most from receiving it. We must recognize the uncertainties we have in the short, medium and long term and remain intellectually honest. One cannot deny or minimize existing safety signals. It is therefore plausible that cancer is accelerated by vaccination, or for example via a dysregulation of the immune system, but this is not possible to say without additional studies. details the researcher, who however confides that he has seen in his practice people whose disease has accelerated after vaccination.

    Can messenger RNA integrate into the cell’s DNA?

    To say that it can only happen in certain people carrying the AIDS virus as the book states, for example, is false.“continues the scientist.

    There really are enzymes with reverse transcriptase activity, capable of transforming RNA into DNA, which can then integrate into our genome. We must therefore take this possibility seriously and study the phenomenon and not dismiss it, saying that it is not possible. An American study has already shown that this could happen in vitro with the mRNA of the Spike protein, present on the Sars-Cov-2 virus.“he adds.

    Have genotoxicity and carcinogenicity studies been performed for this vaccine?

    Our two speakers agree on this point. The researcher confirmsthat no genotoxicity and carcinogenicity studies have been conducted for these vaccines“.

    Even if the urgency justified it at that time – and the argument is not entirely viable, because these studies are quick to carry out, according to him – they should be done now and it is still not the right time. case. “It is scandalous to find ourselves without any data on this plan and that the managers in key positions believe that no risk is to be feared” he adds.

    Are vaccinated people really immunocompromised?

    According to him, it is possible that vaccination, paradoxically, can promote infection.

    It’s not conspiracy, it’s a phenomenon already known with related viruses and was normally part of drug agencies’ Covid vaccine monitoring plans. There are more and more arguments in this direction. It depends on the vaccine, the number of doses and the distance in time from the last dose. But just observing this should push the authorities to understand if what we are doing is not counterproductive, namely mass vaccinating people without individual risk of serious Covid, rather than treating antivax or conspiracy the experts who talk about it” further analyzes the scientist. “On the contrary, vaccination has been touted as being beneficial for breaking the chains of transmission when none has ever been proven.“.

    Will this book be a game changer?

    The researcher also regrets not being able to discuss these questions openly without risking losing his job.

    These are the basics of science and medicine and these are questions that we should be able to ask, without being a whistleblower or an activist. But it’s not possible to have a dissenting voice on the issue without feeling threatened, not yet, anyway. This is why the semblance of scientific consensus is not one in reality. Petitions like the Rome Declaration or the Great Barrington Declaration have been signed by thousands of doctors and scientists and clearly show that the whole community does not adhere to the dominant ideology. There are far too many issues, particularly financial ones, surrounding the question“.

    Alexandra Henrion-Caude, for her part, hopes that her book will open the debate.

    Two camps oppose when science needs debate

    For Gérald Kierzek, emergency doctor and medical director of Doctissimo, two camps are now opposed. “By wanting to do scientism, to put blind faith in science, this has contributed to the emergence of conspiracy” analyzes the doctor. “Science needs debate, it’s not all white or all black… Saying for example that vaccines have no side effects is false, but not recognizing it has allowed the emergence of a position at the other extreme, unfortunately” he concludes.
