COVID-19 & mRNA Vaccine Immune Effects: Fact-Check & Analysis

Overview of the Claims 

The text appears to be a promotional post (likely from X/Twitter) from Dr. Marivic Villa, MD, announcing a fundraising campaign for an independent research project. It positions the work as groundbreaking, claiming to uncover "VAIDS" (Vaccine-Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)—described as a progressive, irreversible immune collapse akin to "the AIDS of the 21st Century"—caused by a "combined assault" of COVID-19 infection and mRNA vaccines.

Key assertions include:

• Analysis of "thousands of real patient records" showing immune collapse via persistent spike protein, T-cell exhaustion, B-cell dysregulation, and chronic inflammation.
• Comparison across four groups (vaccinated/infected, vaccinated/uninfected, unvaccinated/infected, unvaccinated/uninfected) over years pre- and post-pandemic.
• Potential to "end the mRNA era" by proving profound, lasting damage from vaccines.
• Team: Dr. Villa (principal investigator), Dr. Byram Bridle, Dr. Mark Trozzi, Dr. William Makis, Dr. David Speicher, Dr. Andrew Zywiec, and Nicolas Hulscher.
• Call to donate via drtrozzi.org for "Healing Beyond Covid."

Note: This narrative echoes ongoing debates about COVID-19 vaccines and long-term effects, but it's important to separate hype from evidence.

Who Is Dr. Marivic Villa and the Team?

• Dr. Marivic Villa, MD: Board-certified internist, pulmonologist, critical care specialist, and functional/anti-aging medicine practitioner based in Florida. Chairs the Florida chapter of the World Council for Health (WCH), an advocacy group critical of mainstream COVID-19 policies.
• Dr. Byram Bridle: Immunologist; has claimed vaccines cause widespread harm.
• Dr. Mark Trozzi: ER physician and WCH affiliate; runs the donation site.
• Dr. William Makis: Radiologist; promotes ivermectin for cancer and "turbo cancers" from vaccines.
• Dr. David Speicher: PhD in molecular biology; known for DNA contamination studies.
• Dr. Andrew Zywiec: Co-authored papers labeling mRNA vaccines as potential "biological weapons."
• Nicolas Hulscher, MPH: Epidemiologist affiliated with the McCullough Foundation.

This team has collaborated on prior works, like a 2025 paper in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (a journal criticized for low standards and bias). Their views align with fringe narratives but lack endorsement from major medical bodies like the WHO, CDC, or AMA.

Is "VAIDS" a Real Condition?

No. "VAIDS" is not a recognized medical diagnosis in any established scientific literature.^[15][16][17] It's a term coined in anti-vaccine circles around 2021 to analogize mRNA vaccines to HIV/AIDS.

Experts from institutions like the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, and Arizona State University have repeatedly debunked it:

• No evidence links COVID-19 vaccines to broad immunodeficiency; billions of doses administered globally show no such pattern.^[18]
• Vaccines stimulate immunity (e.g., producing antibodies and T-cells), not erode it.
• Fact-checks from Reuters, AP, AFP, and Healthline consistently label VAIDS as misinformation.^[3][7]

Evidence-Based Summary: Immune Effects

Aspect	COVID-19 Infection Effects	mRNA Vaccine Effects	Key Evidence/Notes
Immune Exhaustion	Yes, severe cases can cause temporary T-cell exhaustion and dysregulation, contributing to long COVID.	Rare; no broad exhaustion. Vaccines train T-cells for better response.	Yale’s 2025 LISTEN study (42 PVS cases) found elevated spike protein but called it exploratory—not causal proof.[12]
Spike Protein Persistence	Can linger in tissues post-infection, linked to inflammation.	Transient (days-weeks); no evidence of chronic expression causing harm.	mRNA degrades quickly; persistent cases are outliers.[2]
B-Cell Dysregulation	Infection raises autoimmune risk.	Slight increase in rare events, but overall reduces autoimmunity risk by preventing severe infection.	Large studies show no viremia or reservoir issues.[1]
Chronic Inflammation	Common in long COVID; measurable cytokines.	Minimal; vaccines lower inflammation by curbing infection.	2025 MD Anderson study: mRNA-vaccinated cancer patients had better immunotherapy responses.[10]
Overall Immunity Impact	Infection can impair responses short-term; long-term varies.	Boosts hybrid immunity; no net deficiency.	No surge in opportunistic infections post-vax.[9]

Undeniable Truths ("Nuggets")

• Long COVID is real and debilitating for some, involving immune dysregulation.^[12]
• mRNA tech isn't perfect; rare side effects (e.g., myocarditis) occur, and contamination concerns warrant scrutiny.
• Both infection and vaccination can trigger inflammation, and distinguishing "long vax" from "long COVID" is a valid research gap.

But the Alarmism? Exaggerated. No data supports vaccines causing AIDS-like collapse. Global surveillance shows vaccines saved ~20 million lives.^[2]

Should You Donate or Support?

If you're drawn to independent research on post-COVID/vaccine health, that's fair—crowdfunding fills gaps in understudied areas like recovery pathways. The project could yield useful data if rigorously conducted and published in reputable journals.

However:

• The team's bias toward anti-vax conclusions risks cherry-picking.
• True science thrives on transparency and peer review.
• Alternatives: Support established efforts like the NIH RECOVER initiative or Yale's PVS studies.

Verify: Watch for published results. As of November 1, 2025, it's "early signals" from preliminary data—no full study yet.

COVID-19 virus and the mRNA-based genetic injections Injury Study.

Comment:

As the lead investigator on this study, I can say with full confidence that what we are uncovering represents, 

“The AIDS of the 21st Century” 

Not caused by HIV, but by the combined assault of the COVID-19 virus and the mRNA-based genetic injections.

Our clinical data, drawn from thousands of real patient records, reveal clear evidence of immune collapse, characterized by persistent spike protein expression, T-cell exhaustion, B-cell dysregulation, and chronic inflammatory activation. These are not theoretical models; they are measurable, reproducible immunologic findings seen across vaccinated and unvaccinated infected cohorts alike.

For the first time, we can directly compare immune function across four key exposure groups spanning years before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The patterns are unmistakable and deeply concerning, pointing to a progressive, possibly irreversible immune deficiency state (VAIDS).

This research has the potential to end the mRNA era once and for all by exposing, through hard data, the profound and lasting damage these genetic injections have caused.

Together, we can expose what has been done and begin to heal what has been broken.  

“The true Healing Beyond Covid” 

I am blessed to have these brilliant and exceptional Doctors and researchers as my team.
