STORY
AT-A-GLANCE
·
August 15, 2022, the U.K. became the first country
to approve Moderna’s new bivalent COVID booster — Spikevax bivalent — which
contains mRNA that codes for the original Wuhan strain spike protein and the
Omicron BA.1 subvariant
·
The approval of the new booster comes on the heels
of complaints about lack of demand for the shots. Moderna recently threw away
30 million doses of its original COVID jab, as nobody wanted them, and the
U.S., has tossed 82.1 million COVID jab doses in the trash for the same reason
·
The Spikevax bivalent shot is already out of date,
as both strains included are no longer in circulation anywhere in the world
·
In the U.S., infections are currently caused by the
BA.4, BA.5 and BA.2.12.1 variants of Omicron. In Europe, Omicron BA.2, BA.4 and
BA.5 are the current “variants of concern.” BA.1 is on the list of
“de-escalated variants,” meaning it’s of no concern either because it’s either
not in circulation, or because it doesn’t cause severe illness
·
Coronaviruses mutate very rapidly, and when you
vaccinate against a rapidly mutating virus, you encourage it to mutate even
faster, and to develop immune-evading properties. This is what we’ve been
witnessing since the beginning of the COVID jab campaign, and outdated, leaky
bivalent boosters may worsen the situation further
August 15,
2022, the U.K. became the first country to approve Moderna's new bivalent COVID
booster, which contains both the original concoction and mRNA to target Omicron
variants. The booster has also been submitted for approval with authorities in
Australia, Canada and the EU, and there's every reason to suspect it'll be
submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as well. As reported by Sky
News:1
"The
booster dose, known as 'Spikevax bivalent Original/Omicron,' contains 25
micrograms of Omicron vaccine and 25 micrograms of original coronavirus vaccine
...
The Joint
Committee on Vaccination and Immunization (JCVI) has said the vaccine will be
available to those aged 18 and over as part of the UK's autumn booster program.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay said those eligible will be contacted from early
September."
More Than 100 Million Doses
Have Been Trashed
The approval of
the new booster comes right on the heels of widespread complaints about lack of
demand for the shots. Moderna recently had to throw away 30 million doses of
its original COVID jab, as there was no demand for them.2
"We have a
big demand problem," Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel said in May 2022 during a
panel discussion at the World Economic Forum's meeting in Davos, Switzerland.3 Similarly, in the
U.S., pharmacies, states and federal agencies have tossed 82.1 million COVID
jab doses in the trash, and for the same reason.4
Bivalent Booster Is Already
Out of Date
Moderna's
bivalent booster is said to "provide a strong immune response against the
Omicron BA.1 variant as well as the original 2020 Wuhan strain," which,
for the record, is extinct and no longer in circulation anywhere in the world.
BA.1 is now rarely ever found, either.
The graph5,6 below, from the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, shows the infection ratios of
common variants. As you can see, in the U.S., infections are now caused by the
BA.4, BA.5 and BA.2.12.1 variants of Omicron.7 So, this booster
contains two strains that aren't even relevant anymore.
The situation
is exactly the same in Europe, where Omicron BA.2, BA.4 and BA.5 are the
current "variants of concern." BA.1 isn't even a "variant of
interest," which is the next-lower categorization. It's on the list of
"de-escalated variants," which is based on a variant meeting one or
more of the following criteria:8
"(1) the
variant is no longer circulating, (2) the variant has been circulating for a
long time without any impact on the overall epidemiological situation, (3)
scientific evidence demonstrates that the variant is not associated with any
concerning properties."
In short, BA.1
is of no concern in Europe either, as it's not in circulation and/or because it
doesn't cause severe illness. The same goes for the original Wuhan strain,
which has long since mutated out of existence.
Vaccinating Against Rapidly
Mutating Viruses Is a Bad Idea
Coronaviruses
mutate very rapidly in general, and the mRNA jabs are based on a surface
protein (the spike protein), which is the most rapidly mutating portion of the
entire virus. What happens when you vaccinate against a rapidly mutating virus?
You encourage it to mutate even faster, and to develop immune-evading
properties.
This is what
we've been witnessing since the beginning of the COVID jab campaign, and at
this point, there's no hope of ever catching up with the virus. What's worse,
while variants have so far evolved into milder strains, they are in fact
gaining the ability to evade antibodies, and could theoretically switch course
to become more pathogenic.9
This is
particularly true when a vaccine is "leaky," meaning it doesn't fully
prevent infection (which none of the COVID shots do). Just like when you
overuse an antibiotic that fails to eradicate the bacteria, which allows
antibiotic-resistant bacteria to flourish, overuse of a leaky vaccine can
pressure a virus to become more lethal.10,11
BA.4 and BA.5
are the most resistant to date, with BA.5 circumventing the immune systems even
of those with natural immunity.12 Fortunately, it doesn't appear to cause
severe illness in most people.
The take-home
here is that had natural immunity been allowed to take place without these
jabs, the pandemic would be over and reinfections near-nonexistent. Instead,
we're now in a pandemic of the vaccinated, with the vast majority of serious
COVID infections occurring among those who have been jabbed.13,14
We know that
Pfizer was aware of this possibility, as "vaccine-associated enhanced
disease (VAED)" is listed as an "Important Potential Risk" in
Table 5 on page 11 of a document called "5.3.6 Cumulative Analysis of
Post-Authorization Adverse Event Reports."15 This document was
part of the FOIA required and court-ordered batch released by the FDA April 1,
2022.
How Long Will the Bivalent
Booster Protect You?
According to
Moderna, the bivalent Spikevax "demonstrates potent neutralizing antibody
response against Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5."16 They made the same
claim for the original COVID jab, back in January 2021,17 and by August 2021,
they admitted the neutralizing antibodies generated lasted only six months
after the second dose.18
How long will
the bivalent jab "be effective" (and I use that term loosely)? Who
knows, but the way things are trending, six months would probably be the max.
In Germany, citizens must now get a booster every three months to qualify as
"fully vaccinated,"19 as rapidly waning immunity has become
accepted fact, and that's probably where we're all headed.
Germans who
haven't received all of their boosters will be subject to mask mandates and
other COVID restrictions this fall. This, despite deep criticism from
businesses tasked with confirming their customers' status. As reported by the
Rise Align Ignite Reclaim (RAIR) foundation:20
"Businesses
have voiced great concern about further regulatory chaos in the struggling
economy. 'The plans are simply not feasible,' said the general manager of the
German Hotel and Restaurant Association (Dehoga), Ingrid Hartges, the
Handelsblatt. 'We cannot constantly check whether our guests are vaccinated,
recovered, or tested.'
These people
are exempted from the obligation to wear masks in restaurants or events under
certain circumstances — if the vaccination, for example, is within the last
three months. 'But you can't tell from the guest in the restaurant what status
they have,' says Hartges. 'Like when he goes to the bathroom — should the staff
always ask if he's vaccinated?' she said. 'That's nonsense.'"
Bivalent Jab Will Not
Undergo Additional Testing
It's important
to realize that these "next-gen" boosters will not undergo any
additional safety testing.21,22 They're being rolled
out under a new fast-track standard where ingredients can be swapped out
without additional testing.
This is the
standard protocol for seasonal flu vaccines. However, we're now using an
entirely new type and essentially untested technology. There's no telling
whether variations in the spike mRNA being injected might produce vastly
differing side effects. They could potentially have differing toxicities, but
that's not being investigated.
Also, remember
that the "efficacy" they're referring to is only based on
measurements of antibody titers, which tells us nothing, really, about its
ability to prevent infection, severity of illness or death. Why?
Because
antibodies form only a part of your immune response, and they're not even the
most important. It is far more likely that your innate immune system — your
first line of defense — will destroy a virus before your adaptive immune system
even has a chance to respond and create antibodies.23
It is important
to understand that no vaccine improves your innate immune response. All
vaccines are ever able to do is address your adaptive humoral immune system and
create antibodies. Your innate immune system has T cells that can directly kill
viruses. If you happen to have a vigorous T cell response, you'll be protected
even if your antibodies are low. So, antibodies are not a necessary measure of
immunity.
Antibody titer
levels are what's called a "surrogate outcome." It's a substitute for
actual clinical outcome. But it's in no way equivalent, no matter how much the
powers in control want it to be. Antibody titers may be high, but in the real
world, more people may end up in the hospital and die — either from the
infection or from the shot. In short, high antibody titer is not a guarantee of
effectiveness — and it tells us absolutely nothing about safety.
CIA-Backed Upstart to
Produce Moderna’s Bivalent mRNA
The complete
absence of testing moving forward is all the more concerning when you consider
who’s manufacturing the RNA for Moderna’s now-bivalent booster. In a recent
Unlimited Hangout article,24 investigative journalist Whitney Webb reveals
the genetic material for the reformulated booster is being exclusively
manufactured by National Resilience, a relative newcomer with significant ties
to U.S. intelligence agencies.
Its board of
directors include In-Q-Tel CEO Chris Darby, who is also on the board of
directors of the CIA Officers Memorial Foundation, and former FDA commissioner
and Pfizer board member Dr. Scott Gottlieb. Not surprisingly, National Resilience
promises to successfully lead its customers through the government regulatory
process. As reported by Webb:25
“National
Resilience was founded ... in November 2020, and ... plans to ‘reinvent
biomanufacturing’ and democratize access to medicines,’ namely gene therapies,
experimental vaccines and other ‘medicines of tomorrow’ ...
In April 2021,
National Resilience acquired Ology Bioservices
Inc., which had received a $37 million contract from the US military the
previous November to develop an advanced anti-COVID-19 monoclonal antibody
treatment. This acquisition also provided National Resilience with its first
Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) laboratory and the ability to manufacture cell and
gene therapies, live viral vaccines and vectors and oncolytic viruses.
Despite being
in the earliest stages of developing its ‘revolutionary’ manufacturing
capabilities, National Resilience entered into a partnership with the
Government of Canada in July of last year. Per that agreement, the Canadian
government plans to invest CAD 199.2 million (about $154.9 million) into
National Resilience’s Ontario-based subsidiary, Resilience Biotechnologies Inc.
Most of those
funds are destined for use in expanding the Ontario facility that Resilience
acquired last March and which is now manufacturing the mRNA for Moderna’s
COVID-19 products ... More recently, in 2022, the company has announced a few new clients – Takeda,
Opus Genetics and the US Department of Defense ...
Considering
Moderna’s history and Resilience’s connections, there may be more to this
partnership that meets the eye and concerned members of the public would do
well to keep a very close eye on Resilience, its partnerships, and the products
it is manufacturing.
Given that we
now live in a world where government regulatory decisions on the approval of
medicines are increasingly influenced by corporate press releases and normal
regulatory procedures have fallen by the wayside for being too ‘slow,’ there is
likely to be little scrutiny of the genetic material that Resilience produces
for the ‘medicines of tomorrow.’
This seems to
be already true for Moderna’s recently retooled COVID-19 vaccine, as there has
been no independent examination of the new genetic sequence of mRNA used in the
Omicron-specific vaccine candidate or its effects on the human body in the
short, medium or long term.
For those who
are skeptical of the outsized role that intelligence-linked companies are
playing in the attempted technological ‘revolution’ in the medical field, it is
best to consider Resilience’s role in the upcoming fall vaccination campaign
and in future pandemic and public health scenarios before trying its
‘futuristic’ products.”
Was COVID Jab Intentionally
Flawed?
https://odysee.com/@MaajidNawaz:d/EP8-Radical:9
In a June 2022
interview with British radio presenter Maajid Nawaz, Michael Yeadon, Ph.D., a
former vice-president and chief scientific adviser for Pfizer and founder/CEO
of the biotech company Ziarco (now owned by Novartis), explained why he
believes the COVID jabs were intentionally made to be harmful and to prolong
the pandemic.
For starters,
it's been known for more than 10 years that spike protein causes adverse
effects in humans,26 so this could not be a design error. It must
have been intentional.
As Yeadon
explained, when making a vaccine, you have to be very careful about which part
of the virus you use, as certain parts are more toxic and some provoke better
immune responses than others. "What you would do is ask, 'What's the
toxicity of the bit I'm going to give a person?'" he said.
Seeing how
scientists have known for at least a decade that spike protein from related
viruses causes blood clots through at least two different mechanism, the choice
to use mRNA that programs your cells to make spike protein raised a warning
flag from the start.
Nothing About the COVID
Jabs Makes Sense
In addition to
that, 90% of the immune response you get from natural COVID infection is in
response to other parts of the virus, not the spike protein. Put another way,
exposure to spike protein mounts an inferior immune response. If you're looking
to make an effective vaccine, wouldn't you choose a part of the virus that
mounts the best and most robust immune response?
By choosing the
spike protein on which to base COVID-19 shots, scientists picked a protein that
a) was known to be toxic to humans and b) produced an inferior immune response
(compared to other parts of the virus).
On top of that,
spike protein mutates rapidly, which destroys any protection the shot provides
shortly after it's given. As noted by Yeadon,27 "What you should
do is pick the bits of the virus that's genetically most stable," but they
didn't do that. Why not? The end result is a seemingly never-ending series of
boosters, and according to Yeadon, that may have been the plan from the start.
As if all of
that weren't enough, the spike protein is also similar to a variety of human
proteins, which can trigger your body to mount an inappropriate immune response
against your own proteins. In other words, it can cause autoimmune disease.
Yet, scientists chose the spike protein anyway — even though it violated all of
the accepted rules for creating a safe and effective product.
Collusion to Cause Harm
Yeadon believes
the decision to use spike protein was not a mistake at all. He believes it was intentionally
chosen because it has all of those ill effects. He told Nawaz:
"Again,
you deselect things that are toxic in their own right, you pick things that are
genetically stable, and you pick things that are most different from humans ...
But guess what?
Moderna picks spike protein and so does Pfizer, and AstraZeneca, and Johnson
& Johnson. So, I put it to you, colleagues, any scientists out there or
just logical people. How the hell would they pick [the spike protein]?
No team I was
ever part of would ever have picked bloody spike protein for this vaccine. And
you know what? If we did, and we have competing groups, we would not, all four
of us, make the same mistake. Not possible. It's collusion and malfeasance. The
did it on purpose, knowing it would hurt you."
Resources for Those Injured
by the COVID Jabs
If you got one
or more jabs and suffered an injury, first and foremost, never ever take
another COVID booster, another mRNA gene therapy shot or regular vaccine. You
need to end the assault on your system. The same goes for anyone who has taken
one or more COVID jabs and had the good fortune of not experiencing
debilitating side effects.
Your health may
still be impacted long-term, so don't take any more shots. When it comes to
treatment, there are still more questions than answers, and most doctors are
clueless about what to do — in part because they never bothered to give early
treatment for COVID and therefore don't understand how different medicines and
supplements impact the spike protein.
So far, it
seems like many of the treatments that worked against severe COVID-19 infection
also help ameliorate adverse effects from the jab. This makes sense, as the
toxic, most damaging part of the virus is the spike protein, and that's what
your whole body is producing if you got the jab.
Two doctors who
have started tackling the treatment of COVID jab injuries in earnest include
Dr. Michelle Perro (DrMichellePerro.com), whom I've interviewed on this topic, and Dr. Pierre Kory (DrPierreKory.com).
Both agree that
eliminating the spike protein your body is now continuously producing is a
primary task. Perro's preferred remedy for this is hydroxychloroquine, while
Kory typically uses ivermectin. Both of these drugs bind and thereby facilitate
the removal of spike protein.
Kory also
believes there may be ways to boost the immune system to allow it to degrade
and eventually remove the spike from your cells naturally, over time. One of
the strategies he recommends for this is TRE (time restricted eating), which stimulates autophagy, a natural cleaning
process that eliminates damaged, misfolded and toxic proteins. Another strategy
that can do the same thing would be sauna therapy.
As a member of
the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), Kory helped develop the
FLCCC's post-vaccine treatment protocol called I-RECOVER. Since the protocol is
continuously updated as more data become available, your best bet is to
download the latest version straight from the FLCCC website at
covid19criticalcare.com28 (hyperlink to the correct page provided
above).
Other Helpful Treatments and Remedies
In previous
articles, I've also covered a number of treatments and remedies that can be
helpful for COVID jab injuries, such as:
•Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, especially in cases
involving stroke, heart attack, autoimmune diseases and/or neurodegenerative
disorders. To learn more, see "Hyperbaric Therapy — A Vastly Underused Treatment Modality."
•Lower your Omega-6 intake. Linoleic acid is
consumed in amounts ten times of ideal in well over 95% of the population, and
contributes to massive oxidative stress that impairs your immune response. Seed
oils and processed foods need to be diligently avoided. You can review my previous post for more information.
•Time Restricted Eating will go a long way to
decrease insulin resistance and improve metabolic flexibility. Most people eat
more than 12 hours a day. The ideal window for most everyone is 16 to 18 hours
of continuous fasting with least meal at least three hours before bed. If you
are overweight, it's best to shoot for 18 hours; if you're of normal weight, 16
hours.
•Pharmaceutical grade methylene blue, which improves
mitochondrial respiration and aid in mitochondrial repair. At 15 to 80
milligrams a day for those suffering from long-haul COVID could go a long way
toward resolving some of the fatigue many suffer post-jab. Methylene blue is
actually the parent molecule for hydroxychloroquine and has been used to treat
malaria since 1890.
It may also be
helpful in acute strokes. The primary contraindication is if you have a G6PD
deficiency (a hereditary genetic condition), in which case you should not use
methylene blue at all. To learn more, see "The Surprising Health Benefits of
Methylene Blue."
•Near-infrared light, as it
triggers production of melatonin in your mitochondria29 where you need it
most. By mopping up reactive oxygen species, it too helps improve mitochondrial
function and repair. Natural sunlight is 54.3% infrared radiation,30 so this treatment is
available for free. For more information, see "What You Need to Know About Melatonin."
