Dr. Kirk Milhoan, like our other medical witness Dr. Björn Hammarskjöld, has explained how vasculitis caused by Moderna’s COVID vaccine could have damaged Nicholas’ vessels around the heart as well as the heart itself — allowing bacteria to both enter and attach.
But how is it that there were bacteria in the bloodstream in the first place? There is another aspect of the mRNA COVID vaccines, which I have recently discussed with Björn:
Studies show that Moderna’s COVID vaccine can temporarily suppress the natural immune system.
This effect of the Moderna vaccine may have lowered the immune barrier to such a degree that bacteria — normally present in very low amounts in the body — were able to take hold and multiply.
There is no definitive answer as to how long spike protein can persist or continue to be programmed within the body and divert the immune system’s attention away from bacteria, as a consequence of the vaccine.
Transient immune suppression: Some studies have proposed that mRNA COVID vaccines can temporarily dampen type I interferon responses, a key part of the innate immune system:
Theoretically, such a temporary period of reduced antiviral defense could create a window in which the body is less alert to other pathogens, such as bacteria.
In plain terms: The immune system is busy reacting to the spike protein, which the genetic information in the vaccine programs the cells to produce — and this may give bacteria already present in the body a chance to gain a foothold.
There are also observations that repeated doses of mRNA vaccines lead to elevated levels of IgG4 antibodies and altered T-cell responses, which may impact susceptibility to infection:
Seneff et al. (2022)
This study presents evidence that mRNA vaccination can induce a significant suppression of type I interferon signaling, which may have various negative health consequences:

This research showed that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines — but not viral vector-based vaccines — specifically induced neutralizing autoantibodies against type I interferons in a small group of healthy individuals:

But of course, what remains most astonishing is that no cardiologist was consulted or informed us about the risks of myocarditis and pericarditis.
