Internal Report 7: “Part 2—‘Autopsies Reveal Medical Atrocities of Genetic Therapies Being Used Against a Respiratory Virus’”

Histopathological reevaluation of serious adverse events and deaths following COVID-19 vaccination

Professor Arne Burkhardt Pathologist

Reutlingen, Germany Professor Dr. Arne Burkhardt gave an update on his series of autopsy and biopsy cases associated with Spike associated gene therapy entitled “Histopathological reevaluation of serious adverse events and deaths following COVID-19 vaccination” at the January 2023 Pandemic Strategies: Lessons and Strategies conference in Stockholm Sweden, presented by the Swedish physician group Läkaruppropet. (The Doctors’ Call) https:// lakaruppropet.se/ [Note: A rough draft was prepared using voice recognition then was edited for clarity with an effort to retain Professor Dr. Burkhardt’s original meaning. The text was then added to the presentation graphics. Text in italics has been added by the current author.] Arne Burkhardt, Professor and MD of Pathology studied Medicine at the Universities of Kiel, Munich and Heidelberg. He trained in Pathology at the Universities of Heidelberg and Hamburg (1970–1979) and became Professor of Pathology at the Universities of Hamburg (1979) and Tübingen (1991). He holds a position as an Extraordinarius Emeritus for General and Special Pathology at the University of Bern, Switzerland, and has been practicing as a pathologist in his own laboratory since 2008. Dr. Burkhardt has held guest professorships in numerous universities in the United States (Harvard, Brookhaven), Japan (Nihon), South Korea, and Europe. He has authored more than 150 original publications in international and German medical journals and contributed to textbooks in German, English, and Japanese.

Summary The Burkhardt Group (TBG) now consists of a 10-member international research team of pathologists, coroners, biologists, chemists, and physicists. TBG now has 100 autopsy and 20 biopsy cases in various stages of analysis, 51 of which are the subject of this report. There were 26 men and 25 women; ages ranged from 21 to 94.

Death occurred from seven days to six months after the last injection of Spike-mediated gene therapy. The larger series had one case in which death occurred eight months after the last gene therapy injection. The deceased received Spike-inducing drugs from four manufacturers: Janssen/Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, and AstraZeneca. Initial autopsy reports listed cause of death as or “natural” or uncertain in 49/51 cases. Evaluation consisted of Histology, Special Stains, Immunochemistry, and Advanced physicochemical methods. Forensic autopsy disclosed that the cause of death at a highly likely or likely level of probability (to a reasonable degree of medical probability) was from Spike-inducing gene therapy products in 80% of cases.

Findings: [SET I., II., III. lists, + numbered lists below each]

I. General Lesions affecting more than one organ were characterized by:

1. Presence of Spike protein and absence of nucleocapsid protein (SARS-CoV-2 only).

2. Both arterial and venous systems had inflammation of the inner lining of the blood vessel wall.

3. Larger vessels had evidence of inflammation in the elastic fibers of the aorta and larger vessels.

4. Crystals consistent with cholesterol were identified in remote tissues and were thought to have been released from atheromata that were unroofed after the inner arterial lining were disrupted by Spikecaused erosion of the endothelium releasing debris and cholesterol emboli.

5. Abnormal proteinaceous material consistent with amyloid was identified in multiple tissues.

6. Unusual and aggressive cancer was identified and labelled “Turbo Cancer.”

7. Atypical “clot” formation was identified.

8. “True” foreign bodies from contaminated vaccine were identified.

II. Specific Organ and Tissue Lesions involving the vascular system were characterized by: Small Vessels:

1. Heart, lung, and brain had evidence of inflammation of the inner wall of blood vessels (endotheliitis).

2. Evidence of bleeding (hemorrhage).

3. Unusual blood clot formation comprised of amyloid, spike protein, and fibrin.

4. Presence of small blood clots and clot-forming blood cells.

5. Obliteration of blood vessels.

Large Vessels:

1. Disrupted blood vessel wall of the aorta with associated lymphocytic vasculitis and perivasculitis.

2. Damage to the inner lining of blood vessels with “unroofing” of cholesterol filled plaque.

3. Disruption of the inner lining of blood vessels with dissection into the muscular middle layer of major arteries and subsequent dissection and aneurysm formation.

4. Full thickness disruption of the aorta with exsanguination.

5. Thrombotic casts.

III. Main Pathologic Findings (other organs) were characterized by:

1. Myocarditis— lymphocytic infiltration with/without destruction of muscle fibers scar formation

2. Alveolitis— diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia endogen-allergic?

3. Lymphocytic nodules outside lymphatic organs association with autoimmune diseases Lymphocyte—Amok

Dr. Burkhardt: I have to tell you how it all started. . . . Soon after the first vaccinations were done in Germany, I was approached by relatives whose loved ones had died suddenly after the vaccination. They were autopsied, and the pathologist said, “Well, it’s all natural causes.” The loved ones didn’t believe it. So, they went to other pathologists. They declined to look at these slides. And I was approached if I could give a second opinion. And I said, “Well, of course I’ve done this in 40 years of pathology practice, and I will do it.” After the first five cases, I realized that this was not an easy task and that it had to change from a second opinion to a scientific project. First of all, I was alone, then joined by Professor Dr. Lang of the University of Hannover. He’s also an experienced pathologist. We started to look many times at these specimens that were sent to us, and which had come from the autopsies done by other pathologists. Now we are all in all 10 pathologists, coroners, biologists, chemists, and physicists that have joined to elucidate these cases.

I have to remind you that this is an ongoing examination. In the tables that will follow, I have different collectives because I cannot update every time I give a lecture. In August 22 (previous studies’ summary) we had:

• 51 deceased and four living persons that we examined. (As of January 2023, we have 100 autopsies and 20 biopsies.)
• Of the 51 deceased, we had 26 men and 25 women.
• Age range: 21 to 94.
• Death occurred seven days to six months after the recent injection.

The vaccines are the ones that are usually in Germany. The task was to see if the vaccination had anything to do with the death occurrence.

Among 51 cases:

• 22 cases were autopsies by coroners and usually without histology.
• 20 cases were autopsies by pathologists.
• One case by a pathologist and a coroner.
• In all but two cases the cause of death was reported as “Uncertain” and mostly as “Natural.” Whatever natural death is.
• It was stated the death could be possibly related to vaccination in only in one case.

After looking at all these specimens, histological slides in the microscope, we came to the conclusion that in 80% the vaccination had some influence on the death occurrence. Death, of course, is a complicated occurrence, especially in an older person. But it may be influenced by vaccination, and there is usually a timely correlation. There’s one other study (below) at Heidelberg University. They said in 30% that death after vaccination is correlated to the vaccination. (Schwab, et al.)

(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9702955/)

Most of the patients that we examined had a sudden death. They were found at home, on the street, or in the car. So, we don’t have changes caused by treatment like artificial respiration and so on. And of these, 15 of 19, were in the category of what we call now sudden adult death syndrome (SADS). And you may notice this is a new term that has not existed before the vaccination.

What did we do? First of all, we had to realize that there is a difference between the true Corona infection and the vaccination to the body. The Corona infection has protein and other viral antigens like nucleocapsid, while the vaccination only has a spike protein (previous graphic). So, we have a common denominator. There is an overlap between the true infection and the vaccination; but, in the vaccination, we have other components that might be of relevance to pathological changes like the lipid nanoparticles, mRNA, cholesterol, and, in some cases, contamination, for example, by metals. The later has not been very closely examined until now.

What is the difference between the entry and the primary target of the COVID-19 infection? The true infection goes to the epithelium: eyes, nose, pharynx, airways, and lung. This epithelium is immunocompetent. While, when we inject the vaccine, it goes into the interstitial tissue, into the muscle cells, the endothelium, and usually into the vessels. And these are not immunocompetent.

Now, what are the methods that we used? We used common histology, special stains, immunohistochemistry, and, in some cases, advanced physical chemical methods. From the beginning on, we were aware that this is a special challenge to us, because we don’t have a toxin that is coming from the outside, either by ingestion or by injection. For example, systemic or histologic demonstration of toxins would not be of any significance; but we had to demonstrate a toxin that the body itself produced, and this was a Spike protein. And that’s why we very soon we developed a method to show the Spike protein in the tissues. (Below)

And we differentiated this from the true infection by demonstrating the nucleocapsid antigen.

General Findings This is the first part of my presentation—general lesions expect affecting more than one organ. Now, the first thing that we examined was the expression of Spike protein in the tissue. Then, we found that the endothelium is mostly affected, and there’s a disturbance of vessels generally, especially the larger vessels.

Then we have displaced unidentified vacuolar and crystalline particles, proteinaceous deposits, functional amyloidosis. We have unusual cancer manifestations, and we have clot formations in the blood and, in some cases, true foreign bodies. So, I will show you examples of these.

First of all, you’ve seen this already in the morning. This shows that we could confirm that the Spike protein is produced in the deltoid muscles where the vaccine is injected, but we could show it (Spike protein) in almost all organs, more or less explicitly. And here (Below) you see a case where we show the testis. You can see that, in this 28-year-old man who had a healthy son and who died 140 days after injection, the Spike protein is strongly expressed in the testis. Normal (https://histologyguide.com/) on the left. Compare the circled region in a normal subject with the corresponding section in the 28-year-old man. Look at the lack of cells, not the color, as the stains are different.

And you can see there are almost no spermatocytes (above right) in here, but there is strong expression of Spike protein in the spermatogonia.

This is an old man. And you can see here (previous image), also, a strong expression of Spike in the spermatogonia. There’s not one single spermatozoa in this. So, if I may make a personal comment, this is not a scientific comment. If I were a woman in fertile age, I would not plan a motherhood from a person, from a man, who has been vaccinated. I think these pictures are very disturbing for me.

Lymphocyte Amok involving the testis.

In the testis, you can see this phenomenon which we called Lymphocyte Amok. We can see a lymphocytic infiltration and inflammation in the testes (above).

In the prostate gland, you can see a strong expression of Spike protein in this man (previous image).

This is very disturbing, but it’s meaning we don’t know yet. This is inflammation in the prostate. This is not a prostatitis. It’s a lymphocytic infiltration in the prostate. But I come now to the main changes, the main damage that is done by the Spike protein which is induced by the vaccination.

You can see here a Spike protein demonstration in a small capillary. You can see this is fat tissue. These are vascular structures, and you can see the Spike protein clearly and very distinctly marks capillary.

You can see here, on the left side, the spike protein in a small arteriole (previous image). The right inset box shows tissue with NO nucleocapsid protein thus no evidence of Covid-19 Spike. Only Spike from drug therapy is present. Strong and distinct expression of Spike in the vascular endothelium of a small arteriole (below).

Inner part of these vessels has strong production of Spike protein that elicits a strong immunological reaction with destruction of endothelium. (Autoimmunity). Destruction of endothelium may be a major factor of the adverse effects of this vaccination.

Foreign Body Reactions

Giant cell formation with needle-like cholesterol crystals (previous image). (Giant cells are formed from fusion of other white cells such as macrophages in areas of chronic inflammation involving a variety of agents including foreign material such as surgical implants, bacterial, viral, parasitic or fungal infections.

Archive photograph: Where does the cholesterol come from? Not from the injection, because the amount would not be sufficient. We now believe that the cholesterol comes from the wall of the aorta and atherosclerotic vessels. When the Spike attacks the endothelium, the cholesterol is released.

Schematic of arterial wall showing an atheromatous plaque, two red stars, containing spindle-like cholesterol needles on the right side, a thick muscular layer occupying about 80% of the full thickness of the vessel, and the external surface of the artery, the vasa vasorum. The vessels on the outside of the artery are also induced to form Spike proteins.

Atheromatous plaques could be set free into the body’s circulation, right side showing cholesterol and debris being released into circulation.

Cholesterol has come out of the atheromatous plaque of the aorta and lodged in a splenic vessel.

Strange clots have been associated with LNP/mRNA treatment.

Lady with damaged capillary endothelium with severe disturbance to the circulation (previous image). Sometimes she is unable to walk. Pictured here, on the sole of the foot, is red discoloration signifying inflammation in blood vessels called vasculitis. Radiological findings in the above patient:

• Double-barreled vessel wall of the femoral and popliteal artery
• Signs of increased flow resistance in the peripheral circulation

Blood was taken from this lady, and this clot formed in the serum after centrifugation and cooling in the refrigerator.

Clot stained and magnified (previous image). Proteinaceous practically acellular substance.

Examination of this clot was performed by specialized physical chemists, and they compared the contents of the plasma phase to the clot itself by mass spectroscopy.

137 proteins were present in the clot and not in the serum. In red are substances related to the endothelium, a sign of continuous damage.

There are some hints that amyloid, a waxy translucent substance consisting primarily of protein that is deposited in some animal organs and tissues under abnormal conditions, could be formed of or by Spike proteins (previous study).

We very early found these deposits especially in vessel walls. You can see they are acellular (red stain) and compressed the vessel walls. Very early we had the suspicion this could be amyloid. (https://www.karger.com/ Article/FullText/506696)

This could be proven by the special stain of Congo Red. (https://www.pathologyoutlines.com/topic/stainscongored.html)

This is spleen and was found in the biopsy specimen of this lady that I showed you before (Case 39). So, she has some amyloid and, certainly, this has some meaning for the function of the vascular tissue. Also, we have these deposits in the brain.

Specific Organ and Tissue Lesions

We come to the specific on organ lesions. We have the small vessels showing destruction of the endothelium.

Here you can see the normal on the left side and the destructive capillary endothelium in heart muscle on the right side.

You can see that we can show Spike protein in these lesions (Case 59 above and below).

We can find a CD61+ thrombocyte apposition in these lesions. The CD (Cluster of Differentiation) designation refers to a convention of nomenclature for molecules of the cell surface of certain white cells. (https://www.hcdm. org/index.php/component/molecule/?Itemid=132) These white cell surface molecules are important to the function of the immune system. (https://www.immunopaedia.org.za/immunology/basics/cd-nomenclature/) Combined with CD41, the CD61 cell plays a role in platelet aggregation and clotting. (Principles of Immunophenotyping Faramarz Naeim, in Hematopathology, 2008, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780123706072000028.)
