A Study They Tried to Bury Is Now Peer-Reviewed—and It’s Raising Alarming Questions
After months of controversy, suppression, and quiet removal from major platforms, a highly scrutinized study examining molecular changes following COVID-19 mRNA vaccination has resurfaced—this time fully peer-reviewed and officially published.
The research, now appearing in the World Journal of Experimental Medicine (PubMed-indexed), analyzes gene expression data from individuals who developed new adverse health conditions or cancers following mRNA vaccination. What the authors report is not subtle: widespread disruptions at the cellular and genetic level that they argue warrant urgent scientific attention.
Led by an international group of researchers—including Natalia Lidmar Von Ranke, Wei Zhang, Philipp Anokhin, Nicolas Hulscher, Kevin McKernan, Dr. Peter McCullough, and John Catanzaro—the study examined bulk RNA sequencing from peripheral blood samples of patients experiencing post-vaccination adverse events (n=3) and newly diagnosed cancers (n=7), compared against healthy controls.
According to the authors, the results revealed hundreds of genes abnormally switched on or off, suggesting what they describe as profound transcriptomic instability. These changes were observed across multiple biological systems rather than being isolated anomalies.
Among the most striking findings reported:
- Mitochondrial stress and energy disruption, including alterations in oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport chain pathways—mechanisms central to cellular energy production and resilience.
- Ribosomal and proteasome overload, with evidence of heightened nonsense-mediated decay and protein degradation pathways. The authors hypothesize this could be linked to translation errors associated with modified mRNA and prolonged spike protein expression.
- Persistent immune activation, including upregulation of toll-like receptors, type I interferon signaling, and inflammatory pathways—patterns commonly associated with chronic immune stress.
- Oncogenic signaling patterns, such as MYC pathway activation and suppression of tumor-regulating mechanisms like p53. In cancer patients, additional markers of genomic instability and epigenetic reprogramming were observed.
- Endothelial and vascular gene suppression, suggesting possible implications for coagulation, angiogenesis, and vascular health.
While the study does not claim causation, the authors argue that the consistency and breadth of these molecular signatures raise important questions about biological responses to mRNA vaccination—particularly in susceptible individuals.
The road to publication was anything but smooth. The paper was initially released as a preprint that rapidly gained attention before being withdrawn by MDPI following criticism. It was later removed from ResearchGate altogether. Its eventual peer-reviewed publication, the authors say, represents a critical test of whether controversial findings can still reach the scientific record.
The researchers stress the need for larger, independent studies and caution against dismissing early signals simply because they challenge prevailing assumptions. They frame their work as a call for deeper investigation—not a final verdict.
Regardless of where one stands on the issue, the study’s publication marks a moment that underscores a broader tension in modern science: how emerging data, institutional pressure, and public trust intersect when the stakes are high.
