Claims that Covid Vacs are associated with Prion Disease Debunked

Marie from Waikanae

There was an article by Classen et al which appeared recently in Waikanaewatch.org which concluded that Covid 19 Vaccinations were associated with Prion disease and neuropathy due to formation of clumps of abnormal proteins (as happens in Alzheimer's Disease). USA today investigated this and called on a number of reputable agencies and specialists to comment. They all said the same thing. There are no reports of prion disease following vaccination and the claims are false. They added that Classen simply has not provided any standard of proof and the paper was criticised for its lack of rigor, not peer reviewed and published in a journal that does not have a high degree of scientific credibility. To the non-specialist however, his paper looks credible, so here's the reference to the USA today article and references you can check out.
