Does mRNA found in breastmilk pose a threat to Irish newborns?
Health Service Executive needs to address multiple safety issues
The HSE has confirmed it is reviewing a study on the passing of Covid 19 vaccine mRNA to infants via breastmilk.1
This is one of the most significant developments in vaccine safety that I have seen to date, because of the information the study conveys.
The study2 has shown that breastfeeding mothers are passing trace amounts of Covid 19 mRNA to babies through breast milk.
It was published this week (September 26) by international peer reviewed Jama Pediatrics, the oldest continuously published paediatric journal in the United States.
It involved eleven breastfeeding women ranging in age from 22 to 38.
Six women had received the Pfizer C19 mRNA product and five received Moderna.
Samples of expressed breast milk were collected before vaccination and for five days post vaccination and the study involved a total of 131 milk samples collected from one hour to five days after vaccine administration.
The results found trace amounts of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA products in seven samples from five different women up to 45 hours after vaccination. The study found no Covid 19 mRNA detected in samples beyond 48 hours of vaccination.
The mRNA was found to be present in the whole expressed breast milk sample, in the fat, in the cells and in extracellular vesicles (EVs) - which are small nanoparticles with lipid membranes naturally released by cells.
The study is the first demonstration of the distribution of the C19 vaccine mRNA to mammary cells with potential to travel elsewhere in the body, the study states.
“These data demonstrate for the first time to our knowledge the biodistribution of COVID-19 vaccine mRNA to mammary cells and the potential ability of tissue EVs to package the vaccine mRNA that can be transported to distant cells. Little has been reported on lipid nanoparticle biodistribution and localization in human tissues after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination."
“In rats, up to 3 days following intramuscular administration, low vaccine mRNA levels were detected in the heart, lung, testis, and brain tissues, indicating tissue biodistribution,” the discussion report states.
The study notes that its limitations include the relatively small sample size and the study did not test the possible cumulative vaccine mRNA exposure after frequent breastfeeding in infants.
The authors concluded that they believe it is safe to breastfeed after maternal C19 vaccination but urged caution in breastfeeding children under six months in the first 48 hours after maternal vaccination ‘until more studies are conducted.’
The study further noted that ‘potential interference’ of COVID-19 vaccine mRNA with multiple routine other vaccines given to infants in their first six months of life needs to be considered.
“It is critical that lactating individuals be included in future vaccination trials to better evaluate the effect of mRNA vaccines on lactation outcomes,” the study states.

The HSE press office replied stating that ‘the paper, which was only recently published, is being reviewed’ before issuing an official response:
“The HSE only uses vaccines when they meet the required standards of safety and effectiveness and after the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has licensed them.
“The Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) monitor COVID-19 vaccines for safety and effectiveness.
Press departments at the HPRA, the Department of Health and Royal College of Physicians of Ireland were issued with the same query. At the point of publication, none of these organisations (besides the HSE) have replied.
The HSE reply states ‘the HPRA monitors Covid 19 vaccines for safety and effectiveness.’
The HPRA must now review the data contained in this study.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women were excluded from Pfizer’s initial trials and Pfizer only launched its study (which aimed to enroll 4,000) on pregnant women in February 2021.
“The companies estimate this trial will wrap up by January 2023,” a CBS news report stated.3
In a press release dated February 18 2021, Pfizer stated:
“Available data on Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine administered to pregnant women are insufficient to inform vaccine-associated risks in pregnancy.
“Data are not available to assess the effects of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine on the breastfed infant or on milk production/excretion.”4
The mRNA presence in breastmilk study raises the following questions:
The study states that the initial messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine clinical trials excluded several vulnerable groups, including young children and lactating individuals.
How did the HSE issue advice for breastfeeding mothers when they were excluded from initial clinical trials?
If mRNA is travelling outside the deltoid muscle to cells around the body – what effect does this have on the body?
When did the Irish public health authorities become aware of this unexpected mRNA activity?
Did they release the information as they became aware of it to media, GP’s, nurses, hospitals and vaccination centre staff – in order that the correct HSE protocols for informed consent are adhered to?
The Jama Pediatrics study states:
“The US Food and Drug Administration deferred the decision to authorize COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for infants younger than 6 months until more data are available because of the potential priming of the children’s immune responses that may alter their immunity.2”
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends offering the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines to breastfeeding individuals, although the possible passage of vaccine mRNAs in breast milk resulting in infants’ exposure at younger than 6 months was not investigated.”
Note the conflicting official HSE advice:
“You can continue to breastfeed safely after being vaccinated.”
“COVID-19 vaccines do not affect breastfed babies. There is no known reason to avoid breastfeeding if you are vaccinated.”5
The mRNA in breastmilk study reveals two facts:
The HSE cannot know that women can continue to breastfeed safely after being vaccinated, so how did this information become part of the HSE vaccine safety information?
The study directly disputes this advice issued by the HSE:
“You can continue to breastfeed safely after being vaccinated.”
Do the HSE and HPRA acknowledge the information has now been proven to be false and as such, plan to update it?
Are GP’s and vaccine staff open to litigation due a lack informed consent resulting from insufficient safety evidence?
Have these authorities also left the Irish State open to litigation based on the same principle?
If clinical trials excluded young children including babies and infants, and yet is it known that babies can be exposed to mRNA to through breastmilk, will the HSE and the HPRA pause vaccination of breastfeeding mothers, while an investigative study is conducted into the impact of mRNA on an infant’s body?
It appears we are we now in a situation whereby mRNA is circulating in babies’ bodies with no scientific knowledge of possible outcomes.
The Irish authorities have not authorised the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for under-5’s.
The HSE states in its reply that it only uses vaccines when they are licensed by the European Medicines Agency. But surely the HSE and the HPRA have a responsibility to the Irish people?
Who will take responsibility for this?
Notably, the study raises wider concerns regarding the circulation of mRNA around the body.
The issue here is that it is now known that cells around the body are producing spike protein, not just cells of the injection site muscle, as was initially understood.
These concerns were raised by Dr Ryan Cole at Health Conference Ireland at Dublin North Hotel on August 8 last. This doctor, a US based pathologist, spoke about his concerns again at a World Council for Health press conference in the UK on Tuesday (Sept 27.)
His chief concern is the activity of spike protein, which is produced in the cells of the muscle into which the mRNA vaccine is injected.
This is the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC’s) description of how this process works:
“First, mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are given in the upper arm muscle or upper thigh, depending on the age of who is getting vaccinated.
“After vaccination, the mRNA will enter the muscle cells. Once inside, they use the cells’ machinery to produce a harmless piece of what is called the spike protein. The spike protein is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19. After the protein piece is made, our cells break down the mRNA and remove it, leaving the body as waste.”6
During the UK press conference, Dr Cole spoke about ‘very concerning and novel pathology’ related to Covid 19 vaccines that he has seen over the past year.

He specifically addressed the issue of the lack of biodistribution studies in vaccine trials:
“The shots were supposed to stay in the arm according to much of what we were told,” Dr Cole said.
They didn’t, as the breastfeeding study shows.
This means that lipid nanoparticles with the gene sequence are entering parts of the body they were not intended to.
“We know from the biodistribution studies out of Japan that they went to the liver, to the brain, the bone marrow, the spleen, to the thymus where T cells are trained, to the ovaries and when they cut off the study at 48 hours the curve was going upwards,” Dr Cole told the press conference.
Now that the HSE has acknowledged it is aware of unexpected outcomes (via the breastmilk study) with unknown health effects, surely it must address these unknowns?
Must it not notify the entire medical industry of these unexpected outcomes arising from its vaccination campaigns, particular GP’s and hospital staff directly treating patients, along with pathologists conducting autopsies, that personnel be aware of this unexpected mRNA activity? Are medics being regularly updated on all possible side effects relating to vaccines?
The press conference yesterday in the UK featured Dr Aseem Malhotra, Consultant Cardiologist, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and President of the Scientific Advisory Committee – The Public Health Collaboration.
Dr Aseem is calling for an immediate suspension of Covid-19 vaccines to investigate serious side effects until all the raw data from clinical trials are released for independent scrutiny.
Dr Malhotra was among the first to take two doses of a C19 vaccine. He promoted it on British TV. He now says that since the roll out of the vaccine the evidence of its effectiveness and true rates of adverse events have changed.
Here is a link to his study:

It is worth noting that the HSE’s own safety advice regarding Covid 19 vaccines has also changed since the roll out. I documented these changes in a previous piece published on Gript.ie.
https://gript.ie/covid-vaccines-hses-updated-advice-warns-of-multiple-risks-though-very-rare/
Critics have scorned the study Dr Malhotra because it is published in a journal of which he is a board member. He addressed this issue at the press conference, pointing out that the study went through the normal publication processes with the journal’s editor and is peer reviewed.
Dr Malhotra writes: “pharmacovigilance systems and real-world safety data, coupled with plausible mechanisms of harm, are deeply concerning, especially in relation to cardiovascular safety.”
“It cannot be said that the consent to receive these agents was fully informed, as is required ethically and legally.’
“Authorities and sections of the medical profession have supported unethical, coercive, and misinformed policies such as vaccine mandates and vaccine passports, undermining the principles of informed consent.”
The doctor describes the current situation as a ‘medical misinformation mess.’
Can any authority across the world conclusively confirm that even trace amounts of mRNA circulating in a baby’s body is safe?

Well done. Keep onto them. You’re asking the questions I’ve waited to hear the answers for for too long.
Well done Louise, this article will make the HSE squirm because their guidance is indefensible. The next logical question is whether the mRNA or Spike is crossing the placenta. Evidence of placental abnormalities are increasing. This may explain in part of the rise in fetal deaths and reduction in live birth rate across the highly vaxxed countries of the world.
