A vocal Twitter user has taken to\u00a0anti-vaccine Twitter\u00a0<\/a>to claim that COVID vaccines are causing Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”The Facts:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=””]Creutzfeldt-Jakob<\/a>\u00a0(CJD) is a brain disorder that causes\u00a0mental deterioration and dementia, ending in death. While rare, there are about 350 cases in the US every year. This tweeter\u00a0is pointing to 25 cases in 2023 and claiming them all to be caused by the vaccine without any evidence that any of these people received a vaccine. His claims about a rapid form\u00a0of CJD being a\u00a0new phenomenon are wrong since\u00a0CJD is known to have cases with\u00a0rapid onset<\/a>, where death can occur within weeks.<\/p>\n

This particular\u00a0claim, however, stems from\u00a0a paper by J. Bart Classen<\/a>\u00a0published in a non-peer review, for-profit, open-access journal that accepts any article along with payment.<\/p>\n

Classen speculates that mRNA will trigger abnormally shaped proteins, becoming the basis for\u00a0prion<\/a>\u00a0and other\u00a0neurodegenerative<\/a>\u00a0diseases. However there is absolutely no evidence that mRNA can cause prion disease, nor have there been any reported cases to VAERS.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
