It is argued that electrons either are not accelerated or are accelerated very little by the ZPF (zero-point field) because of zitterbewegung. Protons and nuclei are accelerated but the acceleration is reduced by the uncoupling between effects of the ZPF E and H fields, respectively, associated with the nearly relativistic forced oscillation of their internal components under the ZPF effect. In the very high vacuum of intergalactic space (IGS), cosmic expansion is by far the main dissipation mechanism, determining the shape of the spectrum of ZPF-accelerated particles in th IGS outside superclusters. In addition, it is argued that ZPF acceleration, if it exists, should energize the intergalactic medium (IGM); an X-ray and gamma-ray emitting IGM is expected, though there is no observational evidence for this.
