The article headlined "Nobel Prize winner: Mass COVID vaccination an 'unacceptable mistake' that is 'creating the variants', quoted the French virologist saying: "The new variants are a production and result from the vaccination. In 2017, in response to Montagniers claims that vaccines are poisonous, over 100 academic scientists wrote an open letter that said, We, academics of medicine, cannot accept that one of our peers is using his Nobel Prize [status] to spread dangerous health messages outside of his field of knowledge, according to the French news websiteConnexion.
