In June 2022, the prestigious science journal Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT) published a paper by Seneff et. al. The paper, “Innate immune suppression by SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccinations: The role of G-quadruplexes, exosomes, and MicroRNAs,” submitted that the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines impair a critical part of the immune system and in doing so may have “diverse adverse consequences to human health.”
Editor-in-Chief Ousted
About a month after the paper was published, the journal’s editor-in-chief (EiC), Dr. José Luis Domingo, began receiving angry emails demanding the retraction of the paper. These included messages that insisted he retracts the paper, asserting that publishing the paper “would lead to the death of millions of people,” and asking him how he could sleep at night.Domingo then invited some of the paper’s most vehement detractors to write a letter to the editor (LTE) as a scientific rebuttal to the published paper. However, the LTE they submitted was reviewed by independent experts and found not to meet the journal’s high standard of excellence. So the journal was forced to reject it, according to Domingo.
