“As Prof Wafik El-Deiry prepares to testify before Congress on mRNA vaccines and cancer, he says anonymous online activists have spent years trying to destroy his scientific reputation.”
“El-Deiry is the latest scientist to find himself in the crosshairs. He is no fringe figure. Over three decades, El-Deiry has built an international reputation in cancer biology, pioneered discoveries in tumour suppressor pathways, founded biotechnology companies, developed cancer therapeutics, and published hundreds of scientific papers. More recently, he presented concerns about mRNA vaccines and cancer-related pathways to the CDC’s Covid-19 vaccine workgroup and co-authored a paper on the subject with Professor Charlotte Kuperwasser of Tufts University School of Medicine. According to El-Deiry, the trouble began in 2024. He published a provocative study suggesting that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein may interfere with the p53 pathway, one of the body’s most important tumour-suppressor mechanisms. The paper did not claim that Covid-19 vaccines cause cancer. But it raised uncomfortable questions about whether the spike protein could affect pathways involved in cancer protection, and whether future vaccines could be designed to avoid such effects. It was a politically charged topic. And in today’s scientific climate, questioning dominant narratives can come at a cost. Within weeks, anonymous PubPeer users were combing through decades of El-Deiry’s previous publications, alleging flaws, demanding retractions, contacting journals and institutions, and casting doubt on his integrity.”
