Covid-19: Can vaccines increase the risk of infection?

2022-01-09T18:44:57.848Z


VERIFICATION - This hypothesis was put forward by Prof. Didier Raoult. The director of the IHU in Marseille mentions the presence of “facilitating antibodies”. Is she credible?


THE QUESTION

. Doubts, criticisms and questions persist, one after the start of the first vaccinations against Covid-19 and as the virus continues to mutate. “

The vaccines that we currently have have very little influence on the circulation of the virus. We really have to ask ourselves the question: what do we want with vaccination? We cannot eliminate this disease

, ”for example declared on LCI on Saturday the director in charge of infectious risk management at the WHO (World Health Organization), Dr. Sylvie Briand. For months, the observation has been the same: vaccines are effective in reducing severe forms of Covid-19, but do not allow, or little, toprevent contamination and therefore transmission of the Sars-CoV-2 virus which carries this disease.

This is also the comment made by Professor Didier Raoult on Saturday in the program "

Touche pas à mon poste

" on C8. The director of the IHU Infection Méditerranée thus defended the vaccine for people vulnerable to Covid-19, but questions its usefulness in fighting the spread of the virus. “

On the epidemic level, do we have any evidence that this is useful? The answer is no: I'm sorry I disagree with the authorities, but it does not control the epidemic, not at all [...] Perhaps even in a number of cases there is has a scientific phenomenon [...] which are the facilitating antibodies, that is to say that there are antibodies that facilitate the infection and their effect is seen within three weeks that follow theinfection

".

The academic therefore formulates a hypothesis here: vaccines could induce facilitating antibodies that could increase the risk of Covid-19 infection.

Is she credible?
