Physician and Scientist Prof. Shmuel Shapira MD has been the Director of the Israel Institute for Biological Research for 8 years from 2013 to 2021.  He recently claimed that mRNA vaccinations caused the monkeypox outbreak, as reported by Kanekoa Substack.

Prof. Shapira, who suffered from an adverse reaction following his third Pfizer vaccine, was suspended by Twitter last week and was compelled to remove a tweet where he linked the monkeypox outbreak to the Covid vaccines.

"Monkeypox cases were rare for years. During the last years, a single case was documented in Israel. It is well established the mRNA vaccines affect the natural immune system. A monkey pox outbreak following massive covid vaccination: *Is not a coincidence," Shapira wrote on his Twitter.

Each incident may not be tied to the vaccine, but the clustering and timing suggest differently, the professor added last week.
