Then if they can spin off one of these research projects into pHARMa profits, they will do so-- under the guise of PUBLIC HEALTH.

David, thank you for posting this. I just looked at the link you posted. I would tend to go with Byrum Bridle's perspective more than Alex's opinion since Bridle is a virology professor and researcher who has been providing accurate Covid information and accurate vaccine info from the beginning. Everyone should read Bridle's substack which gives a very different opinion from Alex's. For example, Bridle quotes from the Boston research: “…unlike naturally occurring Omicron, [the chimeric SARS-CoV-2] efficiently replicates in cell lines and primary-like distal lung cells.” Then Bridle explains: "…translation: the chimeric SARS-CoV-2 has the potential to cause infections deep in the lungs, where severe pneumonia would be the expected outcome."

So, one thing Bridle points out is, they have taking relatively harmless Omicron and changed it so that instead of staying only in upper airways, it now can readily get established in the lungs where it can cause pneumonia. Charming.

Bridle also points out the Boston researchers have just provided the recipe so that any bio-terrorist could make this in their own lab which is not necessarily going to be a level 3 or level 4 lab, but I guess they would not care, if they were planning to spread it around to others.

Further, Bridle points out that even though the Boston researchers conducted their research in a level 3 lab, the virus they created meets the criteria for requiring level 4 security.

It is an extremely worthwhile article to read.

Thanks for the link. I'd never heard of this guy, but I like what I read. Frankly I like his angle. The "scientists" on covid vaccines have stopped doing science and are now just winging it. We should all be calling this out. It's true, and it avoids that whole anti-vax smear tactic from the vaccine cultists.

Dr. Byrum Bridle is awesome. He is very active in the Canadian Covid Care Alliance, which has a great website.

https://www.canadiancovidcarealliance.org/

If you go the website, and scroll down a bit, there is a video of Dr. Bridle on the right hand side that is titled, "It's Time to Stop the Shots; There is no justification for vaccinating children.

The website has a section devoted to Ivermectin including a documentary about Ivermectin https://covid19criticalcare.com/ivermectin/ but numerous good resources, and tons of info about treatments, vaccines, etc. And even though it is Canadian, basically almost everything would apply to us in the US as well.

I have been watching the Canadian situation with some interest and even contributed to the truckers. Well, at least I tried, but the money got frozen and then refunded. Personally, I'm not on the ivermectin train, but I think banning it was ridiculous. Scott Alexander did a great sum-up of the various published studies, and his conclusion was that it seemed to work in places like Brazil, which coincidentally also had high levels of undiagnosed parasite infections. His thesis, which seems as reasonable as any, is that it worked in covid because it killed the parasites, which gave the person's immune system some breathing room. As for HCQ, I don't have an opinion. But I do think it's odd that no one in government made the slightest effort (maybe via a YouTube livestream with a Q&A) to explain in clear, calm, scientific terms why they thought these things wouldn't work. At least that would have been a debate. But banning these things outright gave them a kind of outlaw appeal which was entirely counterproductive.

Anyway, thanks for your reply. Have a great day!

P.S. I'm also a big fan of Viva Frei on YouTube. So I know more than the average American about the horrors of what's gone on in Canada.

Thanks, Kim. I'm actually a physician and I have seen with my own eyes that Ivermectin works very, very well - I've seen terribly ill patients who almost had to be admitted to hospital, who improved hugely as soon as we started Ivermectin. But as for the research - there are now 90 studies from 27 countries, most of them positive. 41 RCTs. Not just Brazil.

One mechanism of action is that it blocks a transport molecule which blocks transport of the virus into the nucleus of the cell - if the virus doesn't get into the nucleus, it can't replicate. But - if you wait a week and start treatment after the virus has already replicated, you can't at that point prevent replication. Ivermectin does work by several different mechanisms of action, and it does actually help at all stages, but it's not going to help as much as it could if one waits and starts later.

I have followed the situation in India closely because I have visited India for humanitarian work, and I have a foster daughter in India. Someone from WHO came to India and persuaded the Indian state of Tamil Nadu to stop using Ivermectin, and the death rates went up drastically - then they restarted use of Ivermectin and death rates came back down. There was also a huge slum area in Mumbai where there was an outbreak and they were afraid the number of deaths would be huge - the government gave everyone Covid kits that contained zinc and Ivermectin, and the spread of the virus was stopped there. I've heard that theory about Brazil, but the results in numerous countries have been good - it's not 100%, like every single person gets better, but it improved outcomes.

As far as banning outright - most people are not aware that the FDA gets its mandate from the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act which gives the FDA the authority to regulate what drugs come to market in the first place, and for what uses they can be promoted by industry. That's all. It absolutely NEVER gave the FDA the authority to regulate how physician's prescribe. The FDA as organized under the name "FDA" has been in existence since 1930, nd never in the first 90 years of its existence has the FDA tried to overstep and regulate what doctors can prescribe and when and how, until Covid, probably in 2020. You can look at FDA documents and website information from the past that say clearly, that off-label prescribing is legal and ethical and not forbidden by the FDA or by the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, and in fact, the FDA has said that very often this was beneficial to the patient. It has never been their role to say, "You can use Ivermectin if it is for this diagnosis but not that." No, they could say the manufacturer can promote it for this diagnosis but not some other diagnosis - but the physician has the right and responsibility to use the medication that he or she believes in his/her medical opinion will best serve THIS patient with THIS symptom in THIS circumstance - it is an individual professional judgment and the FDA has not legal standing to interfere. So, it was not a true "ban" in any legal sense, they could not ban it, but an FDA bureau chief strong armed the heads of the state medical boards and state pharmacy boards, recommending that doctors who prescribe Ivermection should lose their medical license. One doctor treated a large number of patients in a prison where they all lived, but he was investigated, because he got them well with use of Ivermectin. But, no, there was no true "ban" and there was no "outlaw appeal" for physicians who were working our butts off trying to get people well, hoping to avoid putting people in the hospital where they kept dying on the ventilators. If I had someone whose oxygen was too low, they would have to go to the hospital but if it was at all reasonable - lower oxygen than it should have been, but not quite bad enough that hospitalization would have been mandatory, I would give them a chance to see if they would improve on Ivermectin to be able to keep them out of the hospital and off a ventilator. Ivermectin was one of the tools I relied on, and I certainly wasn't motivated by any outlaw appeal. People who were scared of going into the hospital and dying on a ventilator did want Ivermectin, but I wanted that as one of my tools because it worked.

The reason that the government docs didn't make videos in clear, calm, scientific terms about why Ivermectin and HCQ don't work - well if you haven't read Robert F. Kennedy's book The Real Anthony Fauci, it's worth reading. He talks about some of the financial conflicts of interest between pharma and the government agencies, how government employees own patents on some of the processes used in the new vaccines and new drugs. The other thing you may not know, Kennedy talks about some of the fraudulent research that was found out and had to be retracted, research to "prove" that HCQ didn't work, where the data was made up out of thin air. Both Lancet and the New England Journal had to retract one article each. A driving force behind this relentless persecution of older, repurposed meds is this - perhaps you don't know - IF there is any approved med that is safe, effective, and available, for a new emergency condition - such as, Covid 19, in that case, you have to use that med and the FDA cannot grant Emergency Use Authorization. So all the repurposed older meds, including Ivermectin and HCQ, are existential threats to all the mRNA vaccines, to remdesivir, to Paxlovid, etc. See if you can find out how many billions were made on these items - I think during 2021 Pfizer made about 36 billion total on its vaccine, and for 2022, the projected total is 29 billion. And that doesn't count Paxlovid which Pfizer owns. With all that money, that could be an incentive for a disinformation campaign to get rid of competition which I think is exactly what happened. I suspect that some of the government doctors along with others in pharma most likely knew these meds DID work and the vaccines DIDN"T work, and didn't want to be caught in their deceptions, didn't want to be caught in a debate with people who knew enough to make good arguments against the government / pharma narrative.

But as far as that Canadian website, it's not just about Ivermectin, there is research on other meds that have worked, analysis concerning the vaccine, good analysis of topics related to Covid, and, like the commentary on the Boston U gain of function research, a lot of what they post is pertinent to us also.

We know why they are doing it because they said so at the end of the paper:

"This indicates that mutations in the Omicron spike have evolved in such a manner that they hinder antibody binding but preserve the receptor engagement. This opens up the possibility of targeting the conserved and structurally constrained regions of spike involved in ACE2 recognition for the design of broad-spectrum vaccines to control the current COVID-19 pandemic."

It is all about profit and control with vaccines.

I'm afraid the victims are mostly too stupid to comprehend due to psycho conditioning and panic syndrome emphasis. We had the SARS in the early teens. Nothing was done and it worked out fine. This time there was a plan to intensify the proposed results which went way overboard on personal freedoms and with means that were all bs. Masks, personal distancing, vaxxes that didn't work. Actually ones that modified your DNA. That is a no go from the get go. Big pharma stopped curing disease when they found out treating symptoms was more lucrative.

OK I just completed preview of 306 medical studies. Can't go into details becouse it has to be approved. I haven't looked at this controversy in details yet because it hit desk 2 sec ago. The way Science works Agencies must duplicate the study or provide supporting evidence. I'm not a Doctor. In my opinion the numbers look large because so many have taken the vaccines or forced to. My opinion larger than it should be. There are allot of other factors complicating the issues. But have not seen anything not even 80%. If they said blended getting 2 viruses at the same time they may be creating a condition unlikely to occur in nature. In the UK Omicron became the dominets strain. Which means getting both at high enouph consintrations, improbable. The worst is Myocarditis which is 1 in 800. That's all I have to say.

Heart disease and cancer - well, the shots cause myocarditis, and apparently the shots also impair our ability to repair damaged DNA so that a cancer that has been in remission recurs and is unstoppable - but of course when people die of these things, it's not counted as related to the shot. And no one is doing autopsies. Not so much the virus as the vaccines, and apparently they were made in tandem or so it seems to many - which "El Gato Malo" mentions in his analysis of one of of Peter Daszak's grant applications. They were working on vaccines while working on the gain of function research it appears.

Exacerbated by the shots.

Expand full comment

Well, true that cancer and heart disease were already leading causes of death, but all-cause mortality has gone way up since the shots, and the life insurance industry knows this, and the embalmers have noticed this. There are reports that there never were so many coffins sold for children until after the children started getting the shots.

Pharma, particularly Pfizer, have worked hard to obfuscate, but if the truth could be fully known - IF - I would bet on the shots now being the leading cause of death, or certainly a very major one. I think the truly scary thing about Covid and potential new contagious diseases is that physicians are forbidden to treat, and agencies tasked with assuring public health are actually trying hard to enforce non-treatment. So that if I got Covid, most doctors would not prescribe Ivermectin or HCQ for me, most pharmacies won't sell it, and if I went to the hospital with severe Covid (and severe Covid could happen to me due to age and unavoidable comorbities) a hospital would be likely to offer me only treatment that could kill me, while preventing any doctor from giving me even Vitamin D.

In a sense, it is a bit similar to being locked up in a prison camp, and I truly mean no disrepect to those who have suffered much, much worse - but knowing that there are authorities who plan for me to be dead who are intentionally withholding lifesaving treatment. I am thinking of Dr. Marik resigning from the hospital he worked, after the hospital forbade him to prescribe even Vitamin C and Vitamin D for his patients - previously when people failed conventional hospital treatment of remdesivir and vent, they would be sent to Marik's care in ICU where he tried less conventional treatment that saved many lives, but after he was forbidden to use his regular treatments, and he watched patients die who could have been saved - he resigned .

Thinking also of other hospitals where people died while asking for Ivermectin even sending attorneys to court to litigate for a right to try Ivermectin and being turned down by a judge. True, someone might get Ivermectin, recover quickly from Covid, only to die of cancer or heart disease later.

But Covid is scary when you know it is a disease that CAN kill people rather quickly, there IS treatment that might actually make this no more worrisome than a strep throat treated with penicillin - but the treatment is intentionally withheld, and only inferior and sometimes lethal treatments are forced. I am not living in fear because I have the items that I would need for prevention or treatment, but there was a window of time when certain items were unavailable in my area - and it is a scary thought to realize that treatment is being withheld so that everyone can be pushed toward EUA products that are actually harmful, or ventilators that too frequently lead to death. A situation created where, if you get the illness, you are trapped.

And it is not only the very elderly who are harmed by lack of treatment. I have known people in their 30's who had heart damage from the Covid virus - and there has been research showing a surprisingly high number of people having cariac inflammation on imaging after otherwise recovering from acute Covid. Whether it's the virus or the vax, either way the spike protein can cause heart damage.

You are right, they push the fear of germs, like, with monkeypox, pushing so much, to sell monkeypox shots, when 98% of the cases were among men who have sex with men, and if you are not doing that, you probably won't get monkeypox, and the current monkeypox virus is not very lethal anyway. I get that there are people who are very interested in pushing fear of germs to sell so-called vaccines, and people who were so unrealistically fearful that they got shots that in many cases caused harm instead of benfit.

And I think one could make the cause that the greatest risk of all may be iatrogenic - if you look at the various definitons, "caused by the words or actions of physicians," or by the treatments provided or treatments withheld. I think one could make the case that iatrogenic illness, caused by the very agenicies that are supposed to looking out for health, may be a greater total cause of death currently than any of the chronic illnesses that have been at the top of the list - but it's confounded by the reality that the iatrogenic illnesses, disability and deaths are also kill by way of some of the well-known chronic illnesses. The shot gives heart disease, the virus causes heart damage - how to sort that out, especially with no autopsies, and anyway, heart disease does cause a lot of deaths, as we know.

The misinformation or conflicting information from the government agencies is also a nice touch - wear masks, don't wear masks, they help, they don't, wash all your packages when you come home from shopping - there was certainly a lot of careful attention to keeping people occupied with things that would never help without giving them info about things that would actually help, like Vitamin D, which Fauci takes but didn't put that on any list of talking points.

Many nurses no longer want to work in healthcare because they are being forced to get the shot - the Medicare mandate is still in force against health care providers... health care professionals and patients are in many cases mistrusting and avoiding the system - and hard to say how that will affect health in the long run. Avoiding treatment of known health problems in some cases because people don't want the vax and their doctor may require it (because his pay will be cut by the corporation he works for if he doesn't get enough to take the shot), so they don't get the shot, and avoid that harm, but they don't get other problems treated.

Anyway, I'm thinking that today, iatrogenic illness is likely a leading cause of death if not edging up higher than some of the other candidates, but it seems unlikely this will show up in any published papers.

Omicron was weaker than original. So it’s in the middle somewhere.

Still don’t understand why they keep dicking around. Now let’s find the grant Fauci gave them. Lol

The grant Fauci gave him that YOU paid for and I paid for with our tax dollars. Our tax dollars at working making viruses that are either useless or dangerous. But I didn't want to pay for making viruses, did you? Who wanted to buy these viruses? Is there anyone other than Fauci and the mad scientists who wanted this? They did it with our money.

Maybe they are trying to get control of something genetic, such as aging. It is complicated; they have mRNA, but it must be delivered to all the subjects cells, right? Maybe they are using the flu virus as a delivery vehicle for some genetic pay-off.

We absolutely should be screaming about this. Not because of what the study found necessarily but because they are experimenting on mutating the virus to create a more deadly version in the first place. How short are people’s memories?

Also this study was funded by NIAID grants (likely with approval from Tony Fauci himself) to the tune of around $3 million over the last two years. So why is OUR tax money being used for this kind of research in the first place?

It sounds to me like you are saying, “We gave millions of dollars to scientists in labs to try to create a deadly bioweapon, but they failed so we have nothing to worry about!”

Actually, black Americans were dying at much higher rates than white people. Maybe a lot of them finally discovered that fact and are doing what they think they know to stay safe. I think some of it could be related to Vitamin D levels and nutrition, but could be also something related to the virus and genetics. I don't think anyone ever came up with any definitive reason, but it is a fact that blacks had more deaths, proportionally, than whites, or at least I have read that, and understood that from a black leader who I have talked with. So, it's understandable they are trying to be careful, only they don't understand there is not much help from the masks.

Sunlight and nutrition are the key, not following the nonsense directives. As for reporting of outcomes for African Americans, I wouldn’t trust it. It was most likely a ploy to get African Americans on board with the true disease of fear. Same old tactics, different era.

"Across the 36 states for which a total vaccination rate could be calculated by race/ethnicity as of July 11, 2022, 87% of Asian, 67% of Hispanic, and 64% of White people had received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, higher than the rate for Black people (59%)."

https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/latest-data-on-covid-19-vaccinations-by-race-ethnicity/

So, it looks like Blacks are still a bit more suspicious of vax propaganda than other groups.

African-Americans are more likely to be obese, especially the women, and obesity is a big risk factor in dying from COVID.

"Among African-American adults, nearly 48 percent are clinically obese, 37.1 percent of men and 56.6 percent of women, compared to 32.6 percent of whites."

https://www.apa.org/pi/oema/resources/ethnicity-health/african-american/obesity#:~:text=Among%20African%2DAmerican%20adults%2C%20nearly,and%2032.8%20percent%20of%20women).

Due to skin pigmentation, they also have lower Vitamin D levels in the northern hemisphere.

Blacks in Africa seem to have done just fine against COVID, as obesity rates are lower and vitamin D levels higher. Also vax uptake in Africa is quite low, so by now natural immunity has put a stop to the endless COVID merry-go-round of variants, panics and lockdowns. In Africa, COVID is largely last year's news.

I dont think the point is spreading hysteria or the lethality. The point is the public has been mislead / bullied / coerced into following directions that have reduced their quality of life for the last 3 years under the pretense of containing a virus, while concurrently the so called leaders purposely work to increase the spread.

Its the same question as why should I give a **** about climate change from someone preaching to me from the steps of their private jet?

I always feel safer when a high security lab is used to prevent unwanted transmission of a virus and I’m so glad we’ve never had lethal or moderately lethal escape from one of these high security labs.

Missing the point of concern, Alex.

That is: we’ve already seen the fruits of this kind of scientific hubris, tinkering with things we don’t fully understand. We are way over our heads, and it should be obvious to everyone.

It’s not about the particulars of this study. It’s about why this kind of research continues at all.

It should be criminal to tinker around with any virus that can be transmitted to humans. I can't believe these people are allowed to continued to experiment on humanity....

“But truly, if the last two years have taught us anything, it’s that the biggest risk from Sars-Cov-2 is hysteria, not the virus itself.” Absolutely. Hysteria caused by the very entities charged with ridding us of the virus they developed to cause the hysteria in the first place.

Eyes on the prize, people. They WILL pay (eventually). The most important lesson has been the irrefutable truth that we can no longer trust the freaking government.

THANKS for the info! The bivalent injections contain 50% of the original SARS-CoV-2 Spike sequence the other 50% is the mutated Omicrorn version! That 'paper' looks like a VERY good catch to 'convince people to get the new injections, otherwise they will die... For quite a while there were 'only' 6 deaths in VAERS AFTER the bivalent injections, 2 weeks ago it jumped to 19, last week new status 26. It grows FAST. People STOP getting injected with ANYTHING!

Forgot to add, will check the paper, but I doubt already the mice were injected with N-methylpseudouridine mmRNA.....

Ah, that makes sense as a motivation. Of course. Just one more shot... the research is to promote boosters. Agree, no more shots.

Expand full comment

I've scrolled awhile to see if someone thought of this! I think this is it exactly!

Also, I'm thinking it could serve a dual purpose of CYA in case these hybrid shots are worse than ever before, like enhanced infectivity, transmission, severity. It'd be easier to blame an "oops" lab accident than to blame the bivalent shots themselves.

It's a no-lose situation for gov/pharma. The paper stirs fear to drive the low uptake.. and if the shot fails or harms, then they've got the research to fall back on, or- claim a leak.

I have Pandemia, The Real Anthony Fauci, The Courage to Face COVID-19. For the last two plus years I have read countless papers & articles by you & others mainly MD’s & Immunologists. No shots.

No COVID. Follow America’s Frontline Doctors protocol. Watched a good friend with two shots & two boosters get the China virus 2x. Watched Remdesiver kill him in the hospital.

Notice a marked rise in sudden & unexpected deaths being reported in our local obituaries.

Yet we keep allowing these ghoulish bastards to keep experimenting with viruses.

Our laws are worthless when these Researchers keep screwing with gain of function research.

Alex we do need to be concerned about this & get it stopped. Panic no! Sanity yes!

Expand full comment

Sorry Alex, I'm in disagreement. You shouldn't be telling people to stop freaking out anymore than Twitter should be silencing you. As an engineer I can tell you that unexpected things do happen in complex fool-proof systems all of the time. It's not because physics had changed but because a corner case was overlooked. Concerned people are an excellent motivator for scientists to double and triple-check. So, my advice is to encourage concerned citizens to question the methods and procedures used and to hold experimenters to answerable for their work.

I know you hate to see people going off on something without all of the info, but then I recently heard you call Tulsi crazy and could not back that up when confronted.

I think that if we've learned anything it's that they won't release anything deadly. They're too afraid. Look at monkeypox. By that time most of the criminals had contracted the corona. And with the monkeypox no one has died. The hype will get worse but the facts will be less dangerous. And I'd guess the answer will always be easy access, like the vitamin D, getting outside, not masking, mixing with people kind of thing.

At some point, the artificial hysteria will out their games. I'm already done. Nuclear war? What am I going to do? Make dinner as usual. Three years ago I would have disintegrated into a pool of tears, fear, and sweat and still be there months later. I've learned a lot since the dawn of this scam.

Alex, not for nothing but you have a history of misinterpreting studies - i.e. Ivermectin. In this case, you completely miss the larger implications that a US lab is involved with any kind of gain of function experiment and that NIH/NIAD - i.e. Tony "the science" Fauci - continues to fund these labs. I'll give you this much though - you've become an expert in missing the forest for the trees and you do so with such perfectly executed snark.....

I think it would be a step in the right direction, except Fauci, the Bagman, used an intermediary, Eco Health Alliance. I think we would have to ban that, as well as tiering it through a series of these corporations...just like money laundering, and RICO.

Right now, our lawmakers cannot pass bills not approved by DOD/DARPA/BARDA/HHS and the deep state bioweapons spooks. There is an entire laundry list of things they can do (see Bailiwick News) where the power has been transferred over....and of course, if a lawmaker wants to overturn these regulations and laws, he will be bought off or threatened with his family being hurt. I now think we need to cut the head off the snake...which includes Patriot Act and all laws going forward from there.

A plausible explanation (not mine) is that by cultivating a coronavirus (very difficult prior to Sars viruses) with a particular immunogenic protein (with inserts from another virus eg. HIV) this would serve as a method to immunize against those viruses.
