Originally published on WND.com, this article by Bob Unruh explores the potential link between COVID-19 mRNA vaccines and dementia, as suggested by Dr. Joseph Mercola, a renowned advocate for natural health remedies.

Dr. Mercola has been a vocal critic of the government-imposed COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic. His latest warning is based on emerging evidence suggesting a connection between these vaccines and dementia.

Dr. Mercola's research, available on his website, Mercola.com, delves into the potentially devastating links between the COVID-19 vaccines, which were mandated by numerous governments and corporations, and adverse health outcomes. Dementia and related mental health issues are among these outcomes.

"Mounting data suggests that one of the more serious side effects of the COVID mRNA vaccines appears to be dementia. Worse yet, this previously non-transmissible disease may now be 'contagious,' transmissible via prions," Dr. Mercola cautioned.

In a 2021 interview with Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., she explained her suspicion that the COVID-19 vaccines might eventually lead to a surge of neurological prion-based diseases such as Alzheimer's. She further detailed these mechanisms in a paper published in the May 10, 2021, issue of the International Journal of Vaccine Theory.

Dr. Mercola quoted from Seneff's paper, "A paper published by J. Bart Classen (2021) proposed that the spike protein in the mRNA vaccines could cause prion-like diseases, in part through its ability to bind to many known proteins and induce their misfolding into potential prions. Idrees and Kumar (2021) have proposed that the spike protein’s S1 component is prone to act as a functional amyloid and form toxic aggregates … and can ultimately lead to neurodegeneration."

The key takeaway from Seneff's paper, as explained by Dr. Mercola, is that the COVID-19 vaccines, which have been administered to hundreds of millions of people, are instruction sets for the body to produce a toxic protein. This protein will eventually concentrate in the spleen, from where prion-like protein instructions will be sent out, leading to neurodegenerative diseases.

Dr. Mercola's professional journey includes running a wellness clinic in Illinois, where he began exploring natural medicine. He has worked with patients suffering from various ailments, including rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, allergies, autism, and ADD.

The medical industry has accused him of spreading "disinformation" during the COVID-19 pandemic due to his skepticism about the mRNA treatments and his advocacy for alternative treatments. However, many of these alternative treatments, initially condemned by the pharmaceutical-industrial complex during the pandemic, are now recognized for their benefits.

Dr. Mercola's article highlights evidence suggesting that dementia could be a side effect of the mRNA vaccines, and the prions that cause it may be contagious. "Frameshifting, as we now know occurs in the COVID vaccines, can induce prion production and lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD)," he explained.

He warned that some clinical trials and "observational studies" suggesting the safety of the vaccines "are biased," and their conclusions "massively overstated." He explained that "prions" are "proteinaceous infectious particles" known to cause "Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or 'mad cow disease') in cattle, and chronic wasting disease in deer and elk."

Key characteristics of prions include "the formation of holes in the brain giving it a sponge-like appearance, and failure to induce an inflammatory response."

Dr. Mercola explained, "According to the prion disease model, the infectious properties of prions are due to the ability of the abnormal protein to convert the normal version of the protein into the misfolded form, thereby setting off a chain reaction that progressively damages the nervous system."

In addition to Seneff's theory, Dr. Mercola also cited the 2022 writings of tech entrepreneur Sid Belzberg about the neurological side effects of the vaccines. Belzberg's site received 15,000 hits within months and gathered 60 reports from people who experienced neurological deficits shortly after receiving the vaccine, including six cases of diagnosed CJD.

Dr. Mercola also mentioned Dr. David Cartland, who has posted 13 scientific papers linking the COVID-19 vaccines to prion diseases and expects an "epidemic" of prion problems.

Dr. Mercola referred to a recent study in the journal Vaccine about the side effects of COVID-19 vaccines and stated, "it confirms what I and many other alternative news sources have been saying all along, namely that the mRNA vaccines are the most dangerous medical products to ever hit the market."

Other known side effects include increased risk of myocarditis, pericarditis, blood clots, and Guillain-Barre syndrome.

Dr. Mercola advised, "Based on data from across the world, it’s beyond clear that the COVID vaccines are the most dangerous drugs ever deployed. If you already got one or more COVID vaccines and are now reconsidering, you’d be wise to avoid all vaccines from here on, as you need to end the assault on your body. Even if you haven’t experienced any obvious side effects, your health may still be impacted long-term, so don’t take any more shots."

If there already are side effects, "Two remedies shown to bind to and facilitate the removal of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein are hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. I don’t know if these drugs will work on off-target proteins and nanolipid accumulation as well, but it probably wouldn’t hurt to try."
