Renate Holzeisen has written that, during the previous day's session of the Covid parliamentary commission, Loredana Frasca, an expert from the ISS, reported that international active pharmacovigilance data indicated cases of myocarditis or pericarditis among young people up to 1 in every 660 vaccinations of the mRNA vaccines Comirnaty by Pfizer/BioNTech and Spikevax by Moderna. According to Holzeisen, Frasca also stated that these substances inhibited the p53 protein, which has an antitumor function. Holzeisen argued that myocarditis always leaves a scar in cardiac tissue and that this could cause fatal consequences years later. She described it as criminal to continue recommending vaccines to medical students and pregnant women. She added that Frasca, who had been censored during the pandemic years by the leadership of the ISS appointed by politics, would have wanted to illustrate other aspects, including the risk that the mRNA would insert itself into the human genome. Holzeisen also stated that the rulings of the Constitutional Court on the vaccination mandate were based on a false narrative, developed by the ISS and AIFA at the behest of politicians, and that the honest scientists of those institutions had been marginalized and silenced. #Vaccini #Covid19 #SalutePubblica (translated)
