Doctor Edvin Prifti's interpretations of so-called COVID-19 vaccine studies are being amplified without any filter by online media, creating confusion and a risk to public health.

In two separate posts within four days, cardiac surgeon Edvin Prifti echoed "an Israeli study," which he said proved that Pfizer's mRNA vaccines are gene therapies that penetrate the placenta, sperm, and are passed to unvaccinated pregnant women through sexual intercourse.

According to Prifti, the genetic components of the vaccine have been found in 88% of pregnant women, in 100% of men's sperm, and in 50% of unvaccinated pregnant women.

"The study has been reflected all over the world. It was so interesting that it has disappeared from the internet," Prifti wrote further.

A sober commenter asked below the status: “How is the vaccine RNA different from the virus RNA when the spike is practically the same?!” Questioned, Prifti insisted that the findings stood and added that “studies should continue.”

Prifti’s Facebook post went viral in the media, despite being based on a study published by a journal with questionable credentials – later retracted due to problems found in it. This is not the first time that cardiac surgeon Prifti has gone viral on online media sites with conspiracy theories about COVID-19 vaccines. To support the claim, Prifti also shared a serious study on the effects of what is known as “Long Covid” on blood clotting.

"The question rightly arises as to why vaccines would cause more cardiac arrests? Below I am giving you a newly published submolecular-level study, which shows that 100% of patients vaccinated with mRNA for Covid-19 develop amyloid micro-thrombi, which are more evident and larger in patients with Long Covid," Prifti interpreted the study published by the Journal of Medical Virology.

The problem is that the cited study does not mention at any point the connection between vaccination history and the consequences of long Covid. Asked by BIRN about this fact, Prifti insisted: “All the patients with Long Covid who were studied had a vaccination history with several doses.”

Contrary to what Prifti claims, the study states that "testees were asked about their vaccination history," but the latter is not referenced at any point in the study.

Echo without filters

The media outlets that massively publish surgeon Prifti's posts do not seem to pay attention to these details. Over 20 news stories with Prifti's interpretations on vaccines and COVID-19 were published in online media last week alone.

Like most commentators, they believe the posts a priori and republish them massively, adding to the doctor's speculations their own "click-bait" and apocalyptic headlines like: "COVID-19/ Doctor shares study: High death toll suspected to be from vaccines."

For epidemiologist Erion Dasho, these speculative publications, especially when they come from doctors and are accompanied by misinterpretations of results and seriousness, have serious consequences for the health of the population.

In a Facebook post, Dasho, without referring to Prifti, notes that such misinformation encourages distrust of vaccines, pushing the elderly to forgo flu vaccination or parents to not vaccinate their children. "Increased risk for themselves and their children! In the case of the latter, the risk that immunity will drop below the threshold of group immunity and create a risk of epidemic outbreaks," Dasho said.

He points out that not all texts published on the internet can be considered serious studies and adds that, despite conspiracy theories, serious studies have found that vaccination against Covid-19 has reduced the mortality of those affected by the virus by 74% and has no impact on mortality unrelated to the latter.

In the comments, Dasho wrote: "A non-doctor conspiracy theorist who declares that the earth is flat is simply amusing, while a conspiracy doctor is dangerous."/ BIRN
