Synopsis
“Geert Vanden Bossche, a vaccine expert with 30 years experience, thinks our vaccination policy has a high probability of causing the virus to mutate into variants that cause more serious illness, and that people who have been vaccinated will spread the virus rather than protecting those that have not been vaccinated, and that the immune systems of vaccinated people will be less effective at fighting future variants of the virus. Bossche believes we are on the cusp of creating a global catastrophe and is asking the WHO to change course, and is calling on other scientists to engage in scientific review and debate of the risks.” —Rob Mielcarski, un-Denial
Rob Mielcarski is a 62 year old retired systems software developer and high-tech executive with an honors M.A.Sc. Electrical Engineering degree from UBC. “I’m concerned about human overshoot, the damage we are doing to a very special planet, and the high probability of collapse in the not too distant future. I’m fascinated and horrified by our collective denial of our predicament.”
“My objective of this post,” writes Rob, “was to make it easier to understand Bossche’s key points, and to make all of his source information easily accessible.”
In my abridged repost, below, I focus solely on Rob’s list of Bossche’s key points, and include, at the bottom of this repost, links to five of Rob’s other sources.

Synopsis
Geert Vanden Bossche, a vaccine expert with 3o years experience, thinks our vaccination policy has a high probability of causing the virus to mutate into variants that cause more serious illness, and that people who have been vaccinated will spread the virus rather than protecting those that have not been vaccinated, and that the immune systems of vaccinated people will be less effective at fighting future variants of the virus.
Bossche believes we are on the cusp of creating a global catastrophe and is asking the WHO to change course, and is calling on other scientists to engage in scientific review and debate of the risks.
Background
My initial reaction was to dismiss Bossche as yet another whack job / conspiracist / anti-vaxxer / pandemic denier. After reviewing Bossche’s credentials and thinking carefully about what he’s saying I concluded his concerns are worthy of consideration and may prove to be serious. His message is a little difficult to understand because the topic is inherently complex, is not intuitive without some understanding of biology, and he speaks fast with an accent.
In case any readers are wondering why I am distrustful of the authorities, it is because the biggest issue by far that we face, the danger of which far exceeds the virus, is human overshoot, the symptoms of which are climate change, non-renewable resource depletion, unsustainable debt, habitat destruction, and species extinction, which is completely ignored by our leaders, and the policies they have chosen are making much worse the future suffering that will be experienced when it is no longer possible to deny human overshoot. If our leaders don’t have a clue about the important issues, why would we trust them on lesser issues?
Summary
Here are the key points I think Bossche is making.
1/ What is the big picture background?
-
- We are conducting an unprecedented global experiment by broadly administering a vaccine in the middle of a pandemic, while having an imperfect understanding of pandemic science.
- For example, we do not understand why pandemics usually have 3 waves before dying out. Or why pandemics often first attack old people and then shift to younger people in subsequent waves.
- Given our imperfect understanding, our priority should be to do no harm.
- Experts today are so specialized that very few have an integrated big picture view.
- Our culture today is fixated on technology as being the solution to all of our problems.
2/ Do our officials and experts have any bad intentions?
-
- No.
- The vaccines were developed by brilliant people in professional companies, have been properly tested for safety, and achieve the objective of preventing people from becoming sick when exposed to the virus.
3/ Why have officials chosen a plan for mass vaccinations?
-
- Their top priority is to prevent the medical system from crashing in the short term due to an overload of sick people. They are not thinking about the long term.
- I would add, which Bossche did not mention, that governments are anxious to restart their economies because they know the system is fragile and susceptible to a deflationary crash, and because current emergency deficit spending is not sustainable.
4/ What are the characteristics of the vaccines we’re using?
-
- The vaccines prevent someone from becoming sick when exposed to the virus for which the vaccine was designed.
- The vaccines do not kill the virus. A vaccinated person can spread the virus without showing any symptoms.
- Bossche claims that the immune system of a vaccinated person will be less able to fight variants of the virus for which the vaccine is ineffective. In other words, an unvaccinated person may stand a better chance against future virus variants.
- A vaccine is not like a drug that is eventually expelled by your body. A vaccine permanently reprograms your immune system software. Because of this, the precautionary principle is critical.
5/ What are the problems with the current vaccination plan?
-
- Mass vaccinations, in the middle of a pandemic, which do not kill the virus, and which keep the recipient healthy and thus less prone to spread the virus, will apply strong selection pressure to the virus for mutations that both evade the vaccine AND make people sicker.
- If more deadly variants of the virus emerge we will not be able to outrace them with new vaccines. In other words, if we inadvertently create a more deadly variant, we have no exit plan.
6/ Why did Bossche become alarmed, and why is he speaking up so late in the game?
-
- Bossche’s studies of pandemic history suggest it is very unusual for more virulent strains to emerge late in a pandemic. When more virulent strains were reported in late 2020 he became concerned and suspected that our lock-down policies may have encouraged the virus to mutate. Then he thought about the implications of broadly vaccinating both healthy and unhealthy people and decided to pull the fire alarm.
7/ What should we have done?
-
- Protected vulnerable people with some combination of isolation and vaccinations.
- Allowed the virus to spread and build natural immunity in the healthy portion of the population.
- Encouraged lifestyles for healthy immune systems.
8/ How will we know if Bossche is right?
-
- In countries with aggressive vaccination programs (Israel, UK, US) we should see an initial decline in cases, followed in a few weeks or few months by new variants and a rise in cases.
- Here is the COVID data for Israel which we can monitor to help decide if Bossche is right or wrong:
9/ What are the main arguments against Bossche’s concerns?
-
- Some scientists do not think there is evidence for immune escape variants as Bossche predicts.
10/ What does Bossche think individuals should do?
-
- Promote a strong immune system with good diet, exercise, sleep, and some light exposure to the virus to train the immune system.
- If you are young and/or healthy, delay being vaccinated until there is scientific consensus on Bossche’s concerns.
11/ What does this have to do with Denial?
I’m thinking that if the experts and authorities continue to ignore Bossche we will have another superb example of the human tendency to deny unpleasant realities as explained by Varki’s MORT theory. Of course you can’t beat our collective denial of human overshoot, but this could be a close second if it unfolds as Bossche predicts.
