By Michelle Edwards, UNCOVERDC
For more than a year, French virologist Dr. Luc Montagnier—recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)—has exposed the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccines. He reveals that epidemiologists recognize but are “silent” about the phenomenon known as “Antibody Dependent Enhancement” that is currently driving the pandemic. Joining the handful of experts brave enough to speak up and share their professional knowledge, Montagnier refers to the massive vaccine campaign as an “unacceptable mistake.”
Dr. Montagnier—who was censored early in the pandemic for speaking up against mask mandates, lockdowns, government overreach, and the mass vaccination campaign—has a doctorate in medicine and has received more than 20 major awards, including the French National Order of Merit and the Légion d’honneur. He is a recipient of the Lasker Award, the Scheele Award, the Louis-Jeantet Prize for medicine, the Gairdner Award, King Faisal International Prize (known as the Arab Nobel Prize), the Prince of Asturias Award, and the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement.
In April 2020, Montagnier argued that SARS-CoV-2 could only be a genetically engineered coronavirus, having escaped from an “industrial accident” at the Wuhan lab during attempts to develop a vaccine against HIV. He urged that the vaccine strategy for COVID-19 be based on that premise. His in-depth analysis proving the virus was man-made was published by mathematician Jean-Claud Perez in February 2020. At the time, Montagnier urged people to refuse vaccines against COVID-19 when they become available, declaring that “instead of preventing the infection, they [would] accelerate infection.”
The Variants Are Created By Vaccines
The virologist argues that COVID-19 vaccines don’t stop the virus. In fact, they do the opposite—they “feed the virus” and support its evolution into more potent and more transmittable variants that will be more resistant to vaccination and run the risk of causing more health consequences than the “original” virus. Describing Montagnier’s position, a TrialSite News op-ed reported:
Montagnier refers to the mass vaccine program as an “unacceptable mistake” and a “scientific error as well as a medical error.” His assertion is that “The history books will show that it is the vaccination that is creating the variants.” In other words: “There are antibodies, created by the vaccine,” forcing the virus to “find another solution” or die. “This is where the variants are created.” It is the variants that “are a production and result from the vaccination.”
Antibody-Dependent Enhancement
It has long been known that viruses mutate, creating variants. However, as emphasized by theTrialSite News article, in expressing his concerns over mass COVID-19 vaccinations causing variants, Dr. Montagnier is referring to the mutation and strengthening of SARS-CoV-2 due to the phenomenon known as Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE). “ADE is a mechanism that increases the ability of a virus to enter cells and cause the worsening of a disease.”
Montagnier’s views, which are shared by Belgium virologist Geert Vanden Bossche and have been reported on extensively by UncoverDC, further suggest that ADE occurs when the antibodies generated during an immune response recognize and bind to a pathogen but are unable to prevent infection. Instead, these antibodies act as a “Trojan horse,” allowing the pathogen to penetrate the cells and exacerbate the immune response, thus increasing the severity of the virus. Montagnier asserts that data from around the world confirms ADE occurs in SARS-CoV-2, saying:
“You see it in each country, it’s the same: the curve of vaccination is followed by the curve of deaths. I’m following this closely and I am doing experiments at the Institute with patients who became sick with Corona after being vaccinated.”
Petition to Israel’s Supreme Court & Continued ADE Research
To combat the COVID-19 pandemic, Israel unveiled one of the fastest and most extensive vaccination campaigns in the world. In late March 2021, Montagnier joined a petition submitted to Israel’s Supreme Court by Nakim.org founders Dr. Hervé Seligmann and Haim Yativ seeking to halt the country’s COVID-19 vaccine campaign. Montagnier contacted Seligman and Yativ following publications on the Nakim website concerning the high death rate following Pfizer’s “vaccine.” He concludes his opinion with the words: “In the face of an unpredictable future, it is better to abstain.”
In the United States, vaccines recommended on the vaccine schedule do not induce ADE. If they did, the vaccine would be excluded from the program. Before a vaccine is approved for use, Phase III clinical trials of novel vaccines are intended to uncover frequent or critical side effects. Furthermore, it typically takes several years to assess whether a vaccine is safe, but with COVID-19 vaccines, manufacturers spent around six months or less for testing. The experimental vaccines are being administered under emergency use authorization (EUA). Still, despite warnings from experts and a growing list of incidents worthy of a closer look, the Pfizer mRNA vaccine received FDA approval today.
In the video (and transcript) below, the Nobel Laureate reiterates that he is doing his own investigation surrounding those who become infected with the coronavirus after getting a vaccine. He declares, “I will show you that they are creating the variants that are resistant to the vaccine.”
@Felix
More proof: GP suspended for voicing her opposition to govt policy. Their response: ‘GPs must inspire confidence’. Think about that phrase, it is quite a poignant statement. She had every right to speak her mind as a citizen, but beyond this universal liberty she had a professional oath to do no harm. Hence, she had an obligation to her patients to express her sincere opinions on any concerns she had over the govt mandates. But the govt holds that she had a duty to the CDC adopted policy that superseded her patients care. Here is a simple question for you, Felix: When a patient’s care is contrary to CDC protocols, which do you think should be pursued? This really shouldn’t be hard to understand.
@Felix
Global warming is not a hoax – the temp is going up – temporarily.
Global cooling is not a hoax – sooner or later (probably sooner) we are heading into another Ice Age (a new cycle).
What IS A HOAX is the idea that the Earth’s population (human and animal) is capable of drastically altering the global climate by its collective farts, car emissions, fuel burning, etc.
Felix
Watch the videos I provided below and listen to the doctors explain the treatment delays themselves. Early treatment is prohibited. If you are not aware of this, you are badly misinformed or live in one of the few countries where early treatment is allowed.
@Felix
I can’t respond to what I can’t understand, and with respect, I have not certain what you actually intended to mean when you wrote this, but let me try to guess your intent. The community at large is the medical community and research groups that routinely develop medical treatments to new disease presentations or new diseases in general. They do so by being able to speak freely, debate openly and pursue their clinical intuitions, based on treatment mechanisms that overlap similar diseases previously treated. This results in medical trials that are successful or not. This is how medical practitioners develop medical treatments to new diseases.
All this has been prevented by an organized govt-media-social media response that uses threats and censorship to maintain only a sanctioned discussion. Viral pneumonia is not a new disease classification. No one should expect that if you are presumed positive with a virus that causes viral pneumonia you should go home and wait for the pneumonia to develop. No other viral pneumonia has CDC guidance stating there are no approved treatments prior to hospitalization, Felix. There just isn’t. And if you can produce something to the contrary, please do more than offering abusive generalities. But don’t take my word for it, watch the testimony before the Texas Senate by many physicians including Dr. McCullough(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAHi3lX3oGM), Dr. Urso(https://dryburgh.com/richard-urso-md-needless-deaths-youtube-censorship/). Dr. Bartlett(https://brandnewtube.com/watch/doctors-testify-before-texas-state-senate-to-oppose-mandatory-covid-shots_TUM6jQ6IpHwveDL.html), Dr. Ben Edwards(same URL as Bartlett), Dr. Amy Offett(same URL as Dr. Bartlett), Dr. Angela Farrella(same URL as Dr. Bartlett).
They all recount the prohibition on early treatment and support most of what I stated. You may dislike what I said, but open discussion/debate is what science is based on. The success of developing any new medical treatments will be quite impaired due to these whole-of-society-censors that have greatly impaired this current crisis, to a lethal outcome for many unfortunately. In truth, I have no idea in what world anyone would support censoring information, especially in a crisis.
And I don’t slander any doctor for adhering to the legal guidelines setup by society that could place them under threat of losing their livelihood, their freedom or being institutionalized. They should not have to brave such threats to do what is right. It is, however, only their sacrifice that will make the difference between people possibly dying and having only minimal symptoms. A doctor in TX treats 300patients a day – think about the difference that comes to in a week, a month or many months. And that is one doctor.
Many such dedicated doctors are actually enduring such threats in order to continue treating their patients. I slander no one with my calls to return the authority to practice medicine to those physicians who actually practice medicine.
Felix, everything you just said against me is a lie. I will let Adam and Peloni answer for themselves.
Michael S
You deny the existence of the virus and also the existence of global warming. You deny what we see with our eyes and measure with our thermometers.
And you avoid my answer to Peloni. I said for example that for doctors and treatment it is the earlier the better….with the best drugs they have. He was lying about millions of doctors and nurses. How criminal for a Jewish site to say that. Unbelievable that this guy is supported on this site by the likes of Adamdalgliesh. I ask Peloni is he claiming patients with covid are being denied treatment?
Felix,
As usual, I find it hard to understand you; but whatever you intended to say, let me assure you that Peloni is not full of baloney. Considering the scaredemic, a young Brit hit the nail on the head:
“It’s straight out of 1984 book, the idea that we’re going to have to get out our phones, get out our passes, show our papers in the streets, or if we want to go in a pub, it’s funny, it’s honestly funny that people don’t see where this is going. It’s about control. If you allow the government to break the law and violate your rights for an emergency, what’s stopping them from creating an emergency to break the law.”
— https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/vaccine-truth-bomb/
A load of baloney by Peloni
Who writes (they may not be his lies but they are someone’s lies). Let’s break them down a bit:
“This is a very valid explanation why we need to return to the process of scientific discussion, where actual questions are answered with hypotheses that are tested by scientific inquiries that are then challenged for their veracity by the community at large without the encumbrance of censorship or threats should the outcome differ with the official CDC chosen narrative.
End quote by Peloni
The above can be refuted very easily. The community at large as Peloni described is in no way a body with experience or expertise. Leads away from science and truth. It is knavery and authentic rubbish.
“Take for instance the issue of early treatment. There is no discussion on this topic. It is forbidden to even discuss the topic without fear of having, at any point in time, a license review(US), being imprisoned(Australia, South Africa) or being remanded for psychiatric evaluation of being considered legally insane(England, Spain). In spite of this, Dr. McCullough has tried to return to this norm by requesting anyone in the world to debate him on the ethics, or practical application of such early treatment, from Fauci to anyone in the CDC/FDA/NIH, or any practicing clinician who feels inclined to support the CDC mandates not to treat. No one has or will respond. The failure to be able to openly discuss such immensely important topics is why we are at this point of politically imposed medicine that benefits no one. The loss of a scientific approach to developing what is known as Good Medical Practice – the adoption of medical treatments that are tried in a clinical setting which actually results in better treatment outcomes – undermines the very precepts which modern medicine is based upon.
End another section of interminably missives from Peloni.
Very easy to dismiss this as awful hogwash but it is always a sure bet these conspiracy horse flies (clegs) always are firing out challenges to debate. It is a giant lie Peloni is delivering here with deadpan expression. He also insults every doctor in the world. The answer is so simple. Every doctor will seek treatment at the earliest stage of Covid and will use the most effective drugs they can. Say otherwise Peloni and you are a slanderer.
I suggest this vibrant comment thread is ample confimation of how much this subject is of interest to our readers.
I understand Bear’s concern that there is too much focus on Covid rather than on Israel. Yes primarily israpundit tries to focus on controversial news and views on Israel politics. Two things I will say.
1.Covid is a very hot political issue in Israel
2. I think I am not missing any issue in Israel’s political scene and in the ME generally as it concerns Israel.
In this regard, Bear is always bringing more content to the table which he gleans from the Hebrew Press for which I am indebted.
I am particularly please to hear of the high regard so many of you have of my efforts.
You all make the site better by your erudite comments. Thank you for same.
@Edgar

@Tanna
I wanted to thank you for your generosity in taking the effort to share that article with us at a time such as this. I do want to echo Edgar’s comments on the struggle you are facing with your son. My every hope for his recovery to be both swift and complete and may brighter days soon return to you all.
@ EDGAR G
I certainly agree with Bear cncerning his comment that COVID should not the the main portion of every issue. We go around and around , quoting this one and that one, and we really only have opinions, often contested by contrary opinions with equally good foundations, although to some, the opinions of others seem sacred.
I am another who has not taken any Vaccine, and, as I’ve said several times here, I intend wait for the Israeli vaccine which is poised to cureall COVID infections, which has now completed its 2nd Human Trials, with astonishing results …so far.. They are advertising for subject to enter Phase 3. Offering 500 shekels per.
I actually do not wish to take any vaccine, being allergic to needles since a child. I lived through a series of devastating epidemics over the past many years, reading about them, but nor realising that they also applied to me…..
Which reminds me….my dear parents and all their very many contemporary relatives lived through the killer flu of 1918-20, and having asked, I know that not a single family member died from it. Nobody even though of talkingnabout it. I read about it and asked.
So it may be a matter of fate, or just good fortune-which may be just the same thing..
Tanna’s story above of the son who got the J&J Vaccine and is still in hospital having lost a hand and losing bones..is so VERY sad. Almost beyond imagining. I am SO sorry.
They will have to shoot me to force me to be vaccinated against the “virus”.
Two more of my relatives (very elderly) will not take it – they are afraid of the side effects, one of them ended up in the hospital several years ago because of the flu vaccine.
The rest of them:
One family got the shots out of the abject fear of the “virus”,
Another family got the shots because “they needed to fly often”.
My relatives represent 3 different families, and I have no influence on any of their decisions.
In answer to Bear’s question, I am 91 years old and unvaccinated. However, it is not so much the skeptical doctors whose views I’ve only read in articles or heard in videos who have influenced me.
When these vaccines were first developed, I searched for their ingredients lists. I found that hexane and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were in Pfizer’s vaccine, and PEG was in Moderna’s vaccine. I have been chemically sensitive since 1985, when I was working in a high-rise building undergoing renovation, with painters coming in during office hours and painting right around employees and no way to open windows for extra ventilation. Therefore, I had sensitivity testing for hexane and PEG and found I was hypersensitive to both. Besides that, my own doctors are very leery of the new messenger RNA technique that all these Covid vaccines employ. Thus, I am sitting tight, taking one compounded cornstarch and BHA-free Ivermectin capsule once a week, and have had 20 weekly Gamma Stan (gamma globulin) treatments (a shot in each hip–ouch!) to bring up the levels of my immunoglobulins that fight infection (IgG, IgM, and IgA). No surprise that these were low, as these same immunoglobulins act as catalysts in chemical sensitivity reactions so can become depleted in people who are chemically sensitive.
I not only read most of Ted’s articles and consider them invaluable, but I also read most of the comments. I am particularly impressed with comments by peloni and Adam and enjoy seeing what others have to say as well. I hope that I, myself, will not be guilty ever of ad hominem arguments, which are frequently the ammunition of those who lack evidence.
@Adam
You are absolutely correct!
@Bear
I think I have noted before, not to surprise anyone, that neither I nor any of my family, except one, intend to take the vaccine. A single family member who was a nurse did take the vaccine. She has since left the nursing practice and seriously regrets taking the vaccine, having some mild ongoing reactions to it but nothing severe, “yet” as she recently told me. I was always suspect of the possibility that the vaccine could be useful and safe given the speed in which it was conceived/developed/produced/dispersed. Still, I never believed what has occurred with the denial of treatment would ever be possible, not for a migraine, and especially not for pneumonia. I am simply horrified at the single minded objective of placing a shot in every man, woman and child, disregarding every standard of safety and assurance that has ever been employed with any drug. These safety protocols were meaningful and had purpose.

Bear,
I do not plan on ever receiving a corvid vaccine. I think the powers that be have lied to us from the beginning. My spouse received the two shots of Moderna. Been three months no problems yet. Our Son took J/J 30 days later he walked into the hospital, he had comorbidities been there for eight weeks. He has bacteria moving around his body. He has had over 9 surgeries, lost a hand. doctors working on getting the other one. Palettes where very low went he went in. Got septic. He has had bones get infected, some have started to re-heal themselves according to doctors. Another bone died and they said they had to remove it. He has good insurance so they milking him for all they can get. Could it be from the vaccine? Who knows, but I think so. What has happened to him should have never happen based on his condition before he got the vaccine shot.
Curious if anyone wants to respond to the following.
Do the commentators here who are doubting the safety of the Pfizer and Moderna Vaccines have you refrained from getting vaccinated?
The attack on the medical dissidents as conspiracy theorists is misleading, particularly in the case of Dr. Montagnier. He has criticized the medical establishments of his own country and others of “errors” and poor judgment. He has never claimed that the majority of doctors who disagree with him are conspirators.
But even those physicians who believe that there has been a “conspiracy of science” are not nut cases- which is what the phrase “conspiracy theorist” has come to mean by those who use it. The fact is that real-life conspiracies do happen in the real world. The word “conspiracy” occurs in hundreds of criminal statutes in American law, and prosecutors accuse defendants of conspiracy to commit crimes in hundreds of cases every year. This is true in every country in the world, not just the United States. For example, in Israel, prosecutors have indicted Benyamin Netanyahu on several counts of conspiracy with others to commit crimes. Are they prosecutors nut cases?
And does it follow that only prosecutors can develop reasonable suspicions that a conspiracy has occurred or is continuing somewhere in the world, and that certain individuals might be criminal conspirators? While ordinary citizens don’t have the investagive powers of prosecutors of police detectives, sometimes “open source” documents, such as government files available to the public, and reports in respected and widely read newspapers and television networks.
Is everyone who suspects that government officials or wealthy businessmen are involved in some sort of unethical or illegal conspiracy all nut jobs? I don’t think so.
I agree with Peloni’s views on this matter, as I usually do. The MSM reports very extensively in favor of the vaccine, for example by publicizing very rare cases of children who became ill with the virus, and the even rarer instances of children who died of it (usually children who were already severely
immunocompromised or severely disabled). The extreme pro-vaccination bias of the MSM. not to mention the Israeli and American governments, the WHO, etc., make it important that the small number of very learned and highly qualified physicians and other scientists who have serious doubts about the wisdom of the vaccination campaign, and are deeply troubled by the failure of governments to promote early treatment, have a voice. Only a small number of “dissident,” relatively small- circulation web sites who are not affiliated with the major communications companies (Google, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc.), or with the major news networks, have been willing to give these learned and experienced physicians as well as other medical scientists (PH.Ds) a hearing.
I am proud that my favorite news site, Israpundit, is one of these sites that give the these learned scientists and experienced clinicians a voice.
@Rapahel @ Peloni, do not misunderstand me I am not saying the subject of Covid is not relevant or should be excluded. Certainly Israel is central to the topic of Covid. In my view it should be a subject and not the main subject on this blog constantly.
Then as I said previously that is the decision of Ted.
@Raphael
@Ted
@Bear
I agree with you Raphael. The Covid shot-experiment or program, however you care to phrase it, that has been pursued in Israel has been too often described as the Canary in the Coal Mine(hate this phrase and its implication) for CDC policy rollouts – first under Bibi with Israel as a focal recipient of the shots and then under Bennett with Israel being the first in the world to use the 3rd shot, places the topic of of Covid response as being intrinsically linked to Israel. Indeed, I don’t even find it as a tangential topic as it is very much central among the daily headlines on every Israeli news site and often non-Israeli news sites, even as they are all reluctant to offer any balanced reporting that might place the CDC driven policy objectives in a compromising light(a fair statement I believe). As this first in line association between Israel and the CDC drama plays out, it seems this topic would be quite relevant to those living in Israel and Jews everywhere. Furthermore, with Israel playing such a forward role in this subject, where we will soon see if the 3rd shot was luckily successful or recklessly rash, I believe Raphael made a very good point that Israpundit seems “to play a role to offer dependable news so hard to come by, … for news and views that I would not get elsewhere, certainly not from the MSM..” – a role that Israpundit has always played on a host of topics, I think. Just my thoughts.
@Ted
@Bear
Considering what is going on in Israel, with their Covid problem, I would say that this subject is apropos, albeit tangentially. I, for one, am grateful that Ted does not limit his topics too narrowly. As a matter of fact, with dependable news so hard to come by, I rather depend on the pundit for news and views that I would not get elsewhere, certainly not from the MSM.
@Bear. That would be “ you’re”…
@Ted, you are the publisher and owner of Israpundit, so you have right to publish whatever interests you. That said I personally wished the focus was on Israel with less on Covid.
@mirib okay you do not appreciate my views. Your right. Also my right to express them even if you do not approve. Try to get beyond attacking people and make points of substance if you are capable in your own words.
@Bear
@ after you listen to this https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/there-is-no-variant-not-novel-no-pandemic-dr-david-martin-with-reiner-fuellmich/
you’ll be writing a groveling apology.
@Bear Klein. You stuff every article with your blather, doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. Give it a rest.
@Ted, my comment was not based on the substance of this article but what I have seen as general attacks if someone writes something mirib disagrees with. Yesterday I was called “insane” by this person.
@addpro
So, a news agency’s fact check division is to be granted greater authority over an esteemed Nobel Prize Laureate – only in 2021 would this make sense. How many degrees in medicine are held by Reuter’s Fact Check? How many awards do Reuter’s Fact Check have in research medicine? How many Nobel Prizes has Reuters Fact Check received? How many medical breakthroughs has Reuters Fact Check discovered? How many lives were saved by the medical breakthroughs that Reuters Fact Check has not discovered? Did Reuters Fact Check ever get around to confirming Dr. Montagnier’s findings on HIV? How silly can sourcing become?
What is the actual conclusion of the Reuters Fact Check?
Ignoring the quote, there is concern about ADE:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7943455/
This concern is clearly supported by Dr. Malone who states that the real world data is not conclusive of ADE but it is consistent with ADE and it will be the end of the year before we will be more certain.
Also, Dr. Montagnier and Dr. Vanden Bossche are each highly esteemed experts in their fields of study and are among the people you would querry for any concerns on the topic of ADE. ADE is always a concern with new vaccines but it requires data from late stage safety trials, that were not done. The real world evidence that escaped Reuter’s Fact Check is the data that Dr. Montagnier specifically cites above in the article.
@Bear
Why didn’t you also take issue with @addpro?
In response to addpro, miib posted a link.
Did you miss that?
@mirib , I noticed you have a habit of attacking the person when you disagree with their comment. A sign of intelligence and knowledge is when one finds a way of arguing the point of disagreement. Take a look at Peloni’s comments for example when one disagrees with him, he takes the dispute on merit and not snide comments or straight insults.
@addpro. Try to keep up, buddy.

THERE IS NO VARIANT, NOT NOVEL, NO PANDEMIC – DR DAVID MARTIN WITH REINER FUELLMICH
Ted, before publishing this kind of drivel that conforms to your conspiratorial views on Covid, do some fact-checking online! https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-health-coronavirus-idUSL2N2ND0WS
There are plenty of other articles about this doctor that are severely critical of his conspiratorial theories. What you’re publishing is dangerous! Stick to your area of expertise – Israel. After all, your blog is called Israpundit, not Covidpundit.
