Fascinating Aspects of Glycobiology—Part 6 (Vaccinations)

Larry A. Law

This article is the sixth in the series on glycobiology (the study of sugar/saccharides). Polysaccharide vaccines consist solely of glycan components, but they typically elicit a poor immune response when injected into the body. Conjugate vaccines consist of glycans coupled to carrier proteins (glycoproteins) and are much more effective. Many licensed vaccines leverage bacterial cell-surface carbohydrates as antigens. Many glycans are used as adjuvants to enhance immune responses. Adjuvants are foreign substances (heavy metals like mercury or aluminum) used by vaccine manufacturers to stimulate the immune system. The injection of foreign, toxic material elicits an aggressive immune response like the reaction to a bee sting. This immune response to the heavy metal is also associated with the dead, weakened virus entity and thus creates an artificial immunity within the body. 

Current Vaccine Technology Summary

Glycans can be used in vaccines as antigens, adjuvants, delivery systems, and dampeners:

• Antigens: Many licensed vaccines use bacterial cell-surface carbohydrates as antigens.
• Adjuvants: Glycans can enhance immune responses when tied to adjuvants. For example, covalent linkage of bacterial glycans to carrier proteins can trigger T cell-dependent B cell responses and lead to high-affinity antibodies and immune system protection.
• Delivery systems: Glycans can promote specific immune cells or tissues.
• Dampeners: Glycans can suppress undesired immune responses (antibody creation).

Glycans can also be used in a technique called glycan masking, which involves adding sugar chains to the surface of immunogen candidates to hide regions of low interest. This technique is inspired by viruses like HIV and influenza, which can evade the immune system by incorporating additional glycosylation. Glycan masking acts like a cloaking device or invisibility shield to avoid immune system detection. It is similar to military stealth technology for fighter/bomber aircraft seeking to avoid radar detection.

While I remain skeptical of most vaccinations due to the lack of safety and efficacy testing, I realize that pharmaceuticals will continue to employ glycans in almost every aspect of innate and adaptive immunology. Interest in using them as vaccine components has increased in recent decades as the technology to manipulate them has improved. Pharmaceutical use of the science of glycobiology to synthesize therapeutics and vaccines will continue to grow. Unfortunately, the power of nutritional glycobiology will remain obscure because there is no significant money to be made, and no patents can be issued on what Mother Nature is already able to do. Prevention and minimizing the risk of disease are available to those who have ears to hear and want to avoid the sick-care system.  

Vaccination Problems

There has never been any testing comparing health outcomes for those vaccinated versus those unvaccinated. Pharmaceutical-sponsored, randomized trials have never used a true placebo. They always compare two vaccines with each other to minimize the harm from vaccination in general. No other drug trial gets away with this kind of assault on science—only vaccine trials. They use heavy metals like aluminum and mercury as adjuvants. They use aborted fetal tissue in vaccine development. These practices are unethical and immoral—people have a right to know what is being injected into their bodies without their knowledge. Two great books that explore these problems are Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak and Turtles All the Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth. The vaccine manufacturers have been financially indemnified since 1986, so they can never be sued for side effects, vaccine injury, death, or blatant disregard of human health via inadequate and nonexistent safety and efficacy testing.

Since they are the primary funding source for advertising on mainstream and social media, no one in the press is motivated to hold them accountable. They can get away with murder legally. With their money and influence, they have captured governmental regulatory agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as the American Medical Association (AMA). They sit on the boards of major universities and academic institutions, and control medical journals including the Journal of the American Medical Association and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJ). They write their version of science by funding grants designed to advance only patentable pharmaceutical initiatives, never nutrition via food sciences, which cannot be patented. They are a monopoly without checks and balances. They perpetuate the myth that vaccines are the savior of mankind when an actual review of the history shows improvements in sanitary conditions and refrigeration were responsible for eliminating infectious diseases. Even the polio vaccine accomplishments have been vastly inflated, so they do not tell the truth. Until the truth about vaccinations is presented to the public, there will be vaccine hesitancy and unbridled outrage against Big Pharma on behalf of the hundreds of thousands injured and killed by their false claims.
