Summary:
This technical report by Professor Pablo Campra investigates the presence of graphene in various COVID-19 vaccine samples using a technique called micro-Raman spectroscopy. The study screened seven vials from four different vaccine brands, identifying 110 objects with a graphene-like appearance. Of these, 28 objects showed spectral compatibility with graphene derivatives, with eight conclusively identified as graphene oxide. The research highlights potential health risks associated with graphene, which has not been disclosed in any emergency use authorisation for vaccines. The findings call for independent verification and further studies to understand the implications of graphene presence in vaccines better. Dr. Campra emphasises the need for additional analyses to verify these results and assess the generalisability of the findings across other vaccine
batches.
