A doctor creates controversy over the Covid vaccine
According to infectious disease specialist Pietro Vernazza, the innate immune system no longer reacts as well to pathogens following mRNA vaccination. Comments castigated by the rest of the scientists.

According to the rest of the scientific community, Pietro Vernazza’s conclusions are false.

We would be weaker once morest pathogens such as fungi, bacteria and viruses following having been vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine once morest Covid: this is in any case the words written on an online blog by Pietro Vernazza, former chief physician in infectious diseases at the Cantonal Hospital of St. Gallen. The infectious disease specialist draws his conclusion from three studies published on different dates between 2021 and 2023.
A deduction, however, strongly criticized by the rest of the scientific community. “Studies do not show that the immune system is inhibited,” specifies Emanuel Wyler, molecular biologist. And to continue: “To prove it, we would have to see if vaccinated people are sicker when they are infected or if they are more often.” However, the studies mentioned by Pietro Vernazza were carried out in the laboratory and not on real people. In addition, “if vaccines inhibited the immune system, we should have seen something of this in view of the enormous experience acquired throughout the world, which is not the case so far,” indicates Swissmedic.
Pietro Vernazza qualifies these accusations: “Different independent groups have measured that the reaction of cells to external pathogens is modified following vaccination. We measure such processes in the blood.” And to conclude: “The effect of vaccination on cells is proven, but I don’t know what that means. This is something we need to study.”
