Health Friday is a series regarding Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: AI-generated items in today’s offering will be cited as such. If readers wish to post AI-generated items in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Today’s offering discusses the recent court ruling by Federal Judge Brian E. Murphy, which as effectively gelded the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) division of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS.)

On 16 March 2026, Federal Judge Brian E. Murphy, of Boston, ruled for the plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the CDC, the ACIP group of the CDC (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices), HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, and other defendants. The lawsuit was brought by a coalition of health organizations, headed by the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics.) The Murphy ruling, among other items, enjoined the ACIP group from undertaking its scheduled meeting in March, 2026; it stayed any proposed changes to the CDC Childhood Immunization Schedule, changes that were to have been approved at this meeting; and, nullified all recommendations, directives, and other actions, made by the ACIP group since July 2025. Fierce Pharma covered the ruling here: https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/judge-pumps-brakes-rfk-jr-vaccine-overhaul-targering-acip-and-cdc-schedule-revamp, Eric Sagonowsky and Fraiser Kansteiner, 16 March 2026.

The list of plaintiffs, and more coverage of the Murphy ruling, are here: https://www.apha.org/news-and-media/news-releases/apha-news-releases/federal-judge-blocks-immunization-schedule-changes, “Federal Judge Blocks Immunization Schedule Changes, Stays ACIP Member Appointments”, 16 March 2026. Please see the screenshot, below, from this article:

Dr. Jessica Rose, PhD, discussed the ruling here: https://jessicar.substack.com/p/more-on-the-judgy-mcjudgefaceacip-situation, “More on Judge Brian E Murphy/ACIP situation”, 21 March 2026. Please see the screenshots, below, from this article:

Yours Truly went to the article (referred to in the post by Dr. Rose), written by an experienced practicing attorney, regarding the Murphy “ruling.” The attorney is Bobbie Anne Flower Cox, Esq. Her article is here: https://brownstone.org/articles/when-judges-go-rogue/, 23 March 2026. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:

But wait, there’s more! Judge Murphy, in his “ruling”, also “critiqued” each (then)-member of the ACIP group, finding every one of them “lacking” in what he deemed to be the “amount of expertise” to be making any decisions regarding the CDC vaccination schedule. Please see the screenshots from his “ruling”, below: Page 29 and Page 30:

And then, with even more breathtaking condescension, the following, from Page 31 of the Murphy “ruling”:

It appears that the (then)-members of the ACIP group were supposed to “present evidence” to him that they ARE qualified to sit on the committee? And, if the JUDGE deems their “level of expertise” is “lacking”, that the JUDGE can dismiss such members from the committee? Were the credentials of, for example, (then)-ACIP member Dr. Robert Malone not “good enough” for Judge Murphy? — After all, Dr. Malone discovered how mRNA can be “packaged” into a lipid nanoparticle. And why does it appear that Judge Murphy has a “particular axe to grind” regarding (then)-ACIP member Dr. Retsef Levi?

Back to the Bobbie Anne Cox article. It appears the Judge Murphy was doing all he could to find ways to “legislate from the bench.” Please see below, from Ms. Cox’s article:

Regarding the last point, about the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) having no standing: Guess what? The AAP gets large donations from Big Pharma entities, such as, Pfizer, Moderna, and, Seqirus. The AAP is completely compromised and should never have been a party to this (bogus) lawsuit in the first place. Please see: https://www.aap.org/en/ways-to-give/current-corporate-and-organizational-supporters/, from 10 October 2025:

The AAP is a direct beneficiary of Big Pharma. AAP pediatrician members make significant amounts of income from “vaccinating” children with products manufactured by the Big Pharma entities that give large amounts of money to the AAP. See how the cycle works?

If, as Attorney Cox states, the Murphy “ruling” can be overturned in court, why did HHS apparently choose NOT to fight the “ruling”, opting instead to “reconstitute” the ACIP group? Please see: https://imahealth.substack.com/cp/191534018, “Breaking News: Chairman Milhoan Confirms that ACIP Disbanded in Response to Federal Court Ruling: Sources Indicate Administration Opts to Reconstitute ACIP Rather Than Appeal”, 16 March 2026. A screenshot from this article is below:

In addition, pediatricians receive “financial incentives” from Big Pharma companies and from insurance companies via programs to ensure that children are “vaccinated.” This, despite the denials and “fact-checking” by media and by organizations such as the AAP about such “incentive payments.” In fact, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated an investigation into these payments given to pediatricians in his state. Please see: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-launches-wide-sweeping-investigation-unlawful-financial-incentives, “Attorney General Ken Paxton Launches Wide-Sweeping Investigation into Unlawful Financial Incentives Related to Childhood Vaccine Recommendations”, 21 January 2026. Please see the screenshot, below, from this article:

There is yet another aspect to the Murphy “ruling” situation: A combination of conflicting statements, apparent miscommunications, and what appears to be personnel from the Oval Office “taking a more active role” in HHS activities. Please see: https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/acip-members-miscommunication-vaccine-panels-future-adds-confusion-after-earlier-upset-court, “ACIP member’s miscommunication on vaccine panel’s future adds to confusion about ruling”, 20 March 2026, Fraiser Kansteiner. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:

Note that Yours Truly used the phrase, “appears to be personnel from the Oval Office” related to the HHS situation — the Wall Street Journal cites “unnamed sources.” However, what can be said, with a fair amount of accuracy, is that the HHS (and its CDC and FDA and NIH and NIAID divisions) have been roiling due to the attempts of HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., to curtail / stop, the “good old days” in the department. The “good old days” when drugs and “vaccines” were granted EUAs or Full Approval without proper full testing and data analysis; when the CDC “recommended” more and more “vaccines” for children from birth to age 18; when the FDA granted EUAs and Full Approvals for drugs and biologics that were clearly dangerous to patients (VIOXX [pain reliever]; and, Aduhelm [Alzheimer’s disease drug] are cases in point.) What can be said, with a fair amount of accuracy, is that Gain-of-Function experiments in the United States are still being funded by NIH, even though a “ban” on such experiments and funding was declared in 2025 — and, in addition, such experiments are also being conducted by other agencies within the federal government; as, for example, the H5N1 Avian Influenza experiments being conducted at the USDA Southeast Poultry Division facility in Georgia (https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/trump-admin-keeps-ties-to-who-influenza, “Trump Admin Keeps Ties to WHO Influenza System as U.S. Funds Bird Flu Gain-of-Function and Mass Vaccine Programs”, 24 January 2026.)

The following are the opinions of Yours Truly:

What the situation is today: Big Pharma, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Federal Judiciary, are in control of the Department of Health and Human Services. What the situation is today: HHS has opted to “reconstitute” the ACIP group, instead of fighting the Murphy “ruling” in court — in effect, acquiescing to the “ruling.” This acquiescing “kicks the door off the hinges” for any Federal Judge to stop / stay / delay, any directive, recommendation, committee, or activity of that committee, of the HHS, CDC, or FDA.

What the situation is today: Millions of children, from birth to age 18, are at risk for complications of all kinds induced by the multitude of “vaccines” that they are “recommended” to get according to the old CDC Childhood Immunizations Schedules.

What the situation is today: By HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., focusing on creating a new “food pyramid chart”, along with other “side-bar” programs — which, of themselves, are worthy — but not as important as focusing on completely rooting out any influence of Big Pharma and Establishment Medicine at HHS, he has allowed these entities to manipulate the Federal Judiciary into neutering the entire agency. By HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., focusing on other programs, he is NOT doing anything substantive regarding completely STOPPING the use of COVID-19 “vaccines” in the United States — arguably, the most dangerous, deadly, and poisonous products ever designed. By HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., focusing on other programs, he is NOT doing anything substantive regarding bringing those to account for their roles in creating the COVID-19 virus itself, or the COVID-19 “vaccines.”

What the situation is today: Is is more important then ever for all persons (including parents of children from birth up to age 18) to take charge of their health. To question the “why” behind a “recommendation” by a healthcare professional regarding taking any “vaccine”, let alone any drug. To refuse to take any “vaccine”, or to have any “vaccine” put into their children, that the patient (or patient’s parents) do not approve. To fight to have “vaccine liberty” from school boards, employers, and insurance companies that request “compliance” with “recommendations” or “mandates” for “vaccination.”

What the situation is today: Since Big Pharma, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Federal Judiciary are now in control of the Department of Health and Human Services — it is now the responsibility of HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., to stop this situation; or, for the current Administration to find someone who will.

What the situation is today: An example of the new “power base” that is in control of HHS / CDC / FDA: Pfizer-BioNTech wants the FDA to approve the company’s new Lyme disease “vaccine” (which appears to be mRNA-based) that it is developing with a French company, Valneva. The “vaccine candidate” is called VLA15. This, despite the fact that the Phase 3 clinical trial for VLA15 did NOT meet its primary outcome goal — which goal was to demonstrate effectiveness. This, despite the fact that the CDC has NOT YET “reconstituted” the ACIP group, which group is SUPPOSED TO RECOMMEND new “vaccines” for authorization or for approval by the FDA. If the FDA does not bow to Pfizer-BioNTech’s request to approve VLA15, what is to stop the company from suing the FDA and, via a Federal Judge (for example, Judge Brian E. Murphy), forcing the agency to approve the “vaccine?” Please see: https://tdefender.substack.com/cp/1921132650, “Pfizer Wants FDA to Approve Its Vaccine for Lyme Disease — But Does It Have a Shot?”, Brenda Baletti, PhD, 25 March 2026.

THERE IS NO PLACE IN THE HUMAN BODY FOR AN mRNA, A modRNA, AN saRNA, OR A taRNA PRODUCT OF ANY KIND, IN ANY FORM.

THERE MUST, FIRST, BE MUCH MORE RESEARCH PERFORMED ON THESE TECHNOLOGIES AND PLATFORMS.

THERE MUST BE, SECOND, EXTENSIVE TESTING OF PRODUCTS USING THESE TECHNOLOGIES AND PLATFORMS, WITH COMPLETE ANALYSES OF SAFETY AND EFFICACY DATA.

ALL GAIN-OF-FUNCTION EXPERIMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES, OF ANY KIND, PERFORMED BY ANY DEPARTMENT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, MUST BE STOPPED.

What is he saying?

As I understand it…
Cancer has parasite like properties.
Cancer uses some of the same metabolic processes as parasites.
But it’s not like a tick that attaches to your body from outside.
Cancer stems cells are from our own bodies, right?

Wolf Moon

Yes. “Cancer is a parasite” is “AHA clickbait” – in my opinion.

cthulhu

As currently presented to the public, yes. As a thread for actual fact-finding research to pull on, not so much….

Open Carry for Terrorism and SHTF?

If you train seriously and live in a state where open carry is legal, make open carry part of your elevated-threat plan. It is not required every day, and it does not turn you into a superhero. But in a sudden, widespread terrorist rampage open carry can be a force multiplier. The discomfort or myths that deter many people today become irrelevant when the stakes shift from reputation to survival.

Normally, whether carrying openly or concealed, the goal is to avoid a confrontation. In these cases, the confrontation comes for you, so a hard posture with the best defense possible is the way to go, and your subcompact pistol beneath two layers of clothes isn’t going to cut it.

Why openly carry in a time of heightened threat? Rifles and carbines essentially have to be carried openly. They are unnecessary for ordinary day-to-day self-defense against criminals, but they become highly valuable in the face of terrorist attacks or active shooters. A long gun offers superior accuracy, range, penetration, and stopping power compared to any handgun. It is also far more visible, delivering a much stronger deterrent effect.

An unconcealed handgun is far easier to draw than a concealed one. There is no clothing in the way and the draw is often straighter and more natural. It also allows you to carry a larger handgun, which is useful if you have an attached light or want a service-sized pistol if you expect trouble.

Open carry has value for deterrence. Criminals like easy targets. Looters and rioters have been documented as going elsewhere because neighbors were armed. Someone standing around with a firearm, particularly a rifle and especially if they are kitted up, indicates that the person has taken a interest in the safety and security of their community. Attackers seeking maximum casualties prefer easy victims; an openly armed, alert defender raises the perceived cost and risk, often causing them to redirect or hesitate.

Many mass shooters have revealed in their manifestos or interviews (if they survived) that they selected a secondary target because their primary target was too difficult because of armed security. Open carry clearly communicates the potential for armed resistance. Unlike concealed carry, in which the criminal is unaware the “victim” is armed until the weapon is drawn, open carry can stop a potential crime before it leaves the suspect’s mind.

Deterrence doesn’t come from carrying a gun alone. Deterrence shows externally through a person’s bearing. People who are alert tend to carry themselves differently from those who are distracted. That outward posture signals that the person is engaged with their environment rather that lost in their phone or thoughts. Bearing also communicates confidence and capability. Criminals often prefer targets who appear unsure, passive, or unaware; someone who looks steady and attentive presents a higher perceived risk.

Hello Congresswoman

This has already been pointed out but allow us to reemphasize that:

Roughly 88% of Nevada’s transportation fuels — including nearly 90% of Southern Nevada’s supply and the Las Vegas area via the Calnev Pipeline — comes from California refineries.

With CA Democrat energy policy forcing the closure of major facilities, this dependency will mean higher prices & tighter supply ahead.

Nevada has virtually ZERO gasoline refining capacity of its own.

Just as Asian and European countries are learning that it is unwise to let their economies be vulnerable foreign geographic choke points —

We recommend Nevada decouple itself from CA energy policy as soon as possible.

Thank you for sharing your views.
We will certainly keep them in mind.

Wolf Moon

Yup. Those are not the prices here!

White House Posts Cryptic Messages to X (VIDEO)

The White House on Thursday posted a series of cryptic photos on X after posting and deleting a cryptic video.

Late Wednesday night the White House posted a mysterious video – then quickly deleted it, sparking a buzz.

X users pointed out that it sounded like White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying, “It’s launching soon, right?”

A male voices responds, “Yes.”

The White House posted another video later Wednesday night with a phone ping notification sound.

I posted that one here.

On Thursday afternoon, the White House posted a pixilated photo.

MLB star Alec Bohm sues his own PARENTS for more than $1million in shocking case

The parents of Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm used limited liability companies to funnel millions of dollars out of his financial accounts for their own use, according to a lawsuit obtained by the Daily Mail.

‘Though Alec’s investigation into the status of his assets remains on-going and is far from complete, an initial investigation leads Alec to believe and, therefore, aver that [his parents] Daniel and Lisa misappropriated a very large sum of money from Alec,’ read the complaint.

In total, Alec claims his parents tried to ‘freeze’ him out of four LLCs as they ‘converted a sizeable amount’ of his earnings into accounts intended for their own use. The 29-year-old slugger is seeking at least $1 million as well as interest, penalties, costs, attorneys’ fees and anything else the court deems appropriate.

Filed in Pennsylvania and first reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer, the lawsuit claims Daniel and Lisa Bohm set up two LLCs for their baseball star son in 2019 so they could manage his growing assets. Alec’s parents told him they would need to hold a 10-percent stake in the LLCs in order to administer his funds, but insisted he still ‘owned all the assets, funds, and anything else,’ according to the filing.

‘Daniel and Lisa repeatedly advised Alec that, whenever they acted on his behalf, they did so as Alec’s parents — whose assistance always came free of charge,’ the lawsuit continued.

Alec’s parents also launched a foundation in his name, but according to the lawsuit, both the LLCs and the charity were used by Daniel and Lisa for their own financial purposes.

Lisa and Daniel Bohm are accused of misappropriating their son’s financial assets 

‘With each transfer, Daniel and Lisa evidently grew bolder,’ read the complaint.

They even launched LLCs to control his personal residence, and again, took a 10-percent stake, insisting it was required for them to manage the property, the lawsuit claims.

But in January, when Alec asked his parents for information on the various holdings, Daniel and Lisa allegedly refused.

‘Daniel and Lisa, however, refused to provide any of the limited documentation that Alec sought, which included, for example, electronic login information, account statements, tax instruments, and other readily accessible documentation,’ read the lawsuit.

Instead, Daniel and Lisa engaged legal counsel, who ‘produced limited information to feign cooperation,’ the lawsuit continued.

And soon thereafter, Alec was informed by his parents’ attorney that they intended to submit invoices for all the money they believed they were owed for managing his assets.

‘In other words, Daniel and Lisa not only deceived Alec through their misrepresentations about the reason for their interests in [the LLCs], but also, Daniel and Lisa now claim that they possess equity rights and are due compensation for ‘services’ they provided in connection with the operations of [the LLCs],’ read the lawsuit.

Bohm’s parents denied wrongdoing in a statement through their attorneys.

‘Mr. and Mrs. Bohm love their son very much and have always acted in his best interests, both personally and professionally and still do so to this day,’ Robert Eckard, the pair’s attorney, told the Inquirer. ‘They are deeply saddened by the allegations made against them in this lawsuit and the sensational false narrative painted here, which they believe are entirely without merit.’

That last paragraph is not a reliable denial, IMO. They didn’t say that they didn’t do what they are accused of. 

Wolf Moon

One possible explanation is that the son is a reckless spendthrift, the parents know it, and they decided that they could keep him from flagrantly spending away all his money by controlling it “for him” – but now he’s starting to demand to fritter away his earnings on stuff like women and partying and hot rides and stupid crap – and – well – parents don’t want to give him the passwords. 😅

Where’s my 🍿.

TheseTruths

Yes, as I read it I thought that one side or the other is lying. I don’t know why a 29-year-old man would have his parents managing his money. He must have thought he could trust them more than someone he could hire.

As for women and partying, he is in a relationship with Erin Dolan of ESPN.

Okay, this is bad, but from these pics, I say they’re guilty. 😂 (I could be totally misjudging them!)

LMAO!!!

Honestly, if it was me, I would have told my parents to take 10% off the top. The idea that they’re managing the money for FREE is ridiculous.

Net Zero Activists Stumped By Shock New Evidence Showing No Link Between CO2 & Temperature Over Last Three Million Years

The climate science world (‘settled’ division) is in shock following the discovery in ancient ice cores that levels of carbon dioxide remained stable as the world plunged into an ice age around 2.7 million years ago. Levels of CO2 at around 250 parts per million (ppm) were said to be lower than often assumed with just a 20 ppm movement recorded for the following near three million-year period. In addition, no changes in methane levels were seen in the entire period. Massive decreases in temperature with occasional interglacial rises appear to have occurred without troubling ‘greenhouse’ gas levels, and this revelation has caused near panic in activist circles.

The assumed level three million years ago of CO2 was around 400 ppm, a convenient mark that has been used to explain the subsequent ice age and a drop to 250 ppm. Due to the recently published paper, this explanation has become more problematic and natural climate variation is correctly noted to have occurred with the temperature changes. Alas, similar explanations are mostly ignored in discussing today’s climate changes in the interests of promoting the Net Zero fantasy. Some cling desperately to a dominant CO2 role, including one of the authors of the findings published in Nature. The co-author states that the results suggest even greater climate sensitivity to the warming effect of CO2. In short, there is a great deal of applying the laws of physics and chemistry to one era, but failing to extend the same courtesy to another.

The title of the paper, produced by 17 America-based scientists, was enough to set alarm bells ringing in the ‘settled’ science, Net Zero-obsessed community: ‘Broadly stable atmospheric CO2 and CH4 levels over the past three million years.’ 

…In fact the evidence is so slim that Les Hatton, Emeritus Professor in Computer Science at Kingston University, was recently able to determine from ice core records that 100-year rises of 1.1°C in the current interglacial, which started 20,000 years ago, have occurred in one in six centuries. Going back 150,000 years, the frequency was around one in six to one in 20 centuries. None of these findings suggest that current warming is either unusual or primarily caused by human activity. Needless to say, none of these findings trouble the headline writers in narrative-addicted mainstream media.

Wolf Moon

Good. This is getting some attention.

THANKS TO ELON MUSK.

Wolf Moon

Thank you for this post.

Sad what is going on, but the Empire is striking back. Clearly.

TheseTruths

From the open:

It is more important then ever for all persons (including parents of children from birth up to age 18) to take charge of their health. To question the “why” behind a “recommendation” by a healthcare professional regarding taking any “vaccine”, let alone any drug. 

Unfortunately, we know the “whys.” It will keep you from getting sick or sicker, it will keep your family from getting sick, it is needed to keep the entire population well, you need it because you are vulnerable in some way, etc. People need to be ready with solid answers, and questions, and that’s hard for many to do. It’s intimidating for some to stand up to the experts. That’s why it’s so unfortunate that the health agencies are not doing the work to protect us. Do we need to try to communicate directly with RFKJ? I don’t see any focus on these issues except for here.

Linda

I no longer ask questions. I just tell them no. I’m at the point where I don’t want ANY vaccines ever again.

Wolf Moon

Yeah, I think I’m pretty much done with vaccines.

If not interested, skip this Jesse Watters report on Savannah Guthrie’s return to Today, an interview of her, how hard this has been on the family, and how the investigation has yielded nothing.

JUST IN: THE BACKDOOR OF NANCY GUTHRIE’S HOME WAS LEFT WIDE OPEN

Savannah Guthrie SPEAKS OUT, revealing CHILLING NEW DETAILS

“We thought it was a MEDICAL emergency” ****

The Brother’s BONE-CHILLING Phone Call: “I think she was KIDNAPPED for ransom”

The Guthrie Family believes the RANSOM NOTES are REAL

In the beginning, Savannah wanted to post a $1m reward for information, but the cops said it would result in too many false leads. 

The only thing I can figure is that, if this was a supposed kidnapping for ransom, no exchange was made because Nancy had been deceased from the beginning and someone was trying to extort money from the family. They couldn’t provide proof of life. So some criminal is still out there, probably having caused the death of Nancy.

Wolf Moon

That’s my guess, too. She’s deceased, probably from medical problems and no treatment.

An urgent investigation is underway after a military Black Hawk helicopter crossed in front of a packed passenger flight as it attempted to land in California. The pilots took evasive action to avoid a possible midair crash. @TrevorLAult reports. https://abcnews.link/oS29Q4z

Wolf Moon

Thanks. WOW. Yeah, the ATC situation is not good. We need way more people.

TheseTruths

My impression is that there are communication failures too. It seems unthinkable that some of these situations are allowed to take place, like the fire truck and the plane not being able to hear what was being said to the other one. It’s basic common sense that that would be important.

There have been other close calls, like one in D.C. last year, where it is said that that kind of thing happens frequently. It seems that the logistics need to be adjusted.

I have not seen any reports about what happened to the occupant(s) of the fire truck. It’s as if he/they don’t exist. It makes me think the truck might have been shoved aside by the plane and that the majority of the damage to the plane resulted from impact with the ground rather than the truck.

cthulhu

Never assume that more people or more money is a solution to anything.

FROM FICTION TO REAL LIFE: The Tomb of 17th Century French Military Leader D’Artagnan, Immortalized in Alexandre Dumas’ ‘The Three Musketeers’, May Have Been Found in Dutch Church

Even people like me, who love Alexandre Dumas’ serialized masterpiece ‘The Three Musketeers’, may not be aware that the young hero D’Artagnan was based on a real person, Charles de Batz de Castelmore.

Later known as Count D’Artagnan, Charles was a French military leader who served Louis XIV as captain of the Musketeers of the Guard.

He was immortalized in the books, but his real-life final resting place remained a mystery for centuries, since his death in 1673.

But now, this mystery may be over about the fate of the ‘fourth musketeer’.

The Telegraph reported:

“Hopes are high that DNA testing will confirm that the bones found in St Peter and Paul church in Wolder, near Maastricht, belong to Charles de Batz de Castelmore, the Earl of Artagnan or ‘D’Artagnan’.

“Such a result would be a twist worthy of the tales of derring-do, espionage, brotherhood and courtly intrigue that made the motto ‘All for one and one for all’ famous.”

Archaeologist Wim Dijkman:

“My expectations are high. I have been researching D’Artagnan’s tomb for 28 years. This could be the highlight of my career. So far, nothing has been found that contradicts the idea that this is him. But again, I am awaiting the DNA analysis.”

The real life D’Artagnan was King Louis XIV’s low-paid but highly regarded elite royal bodyguard, who was also entrusted with secret missions.

“He played an important role in a string of French military successes before being killed on June 25, 1673, when he was shot in the chest or throat during the siege of Maastricht. The King wrote sorrowfully to the Queen that he had ‘lost D’Artagnan, in whom I had every confidence’.”

What do they possess in order to make a DNA comparison? I don’t think they have his toothbrush. 🤔 Maybe there exists a lock of his hair…

cthulhu

It would be something to find he was the g-g-g-g-grandfather of someone known to be his g-g-g-g-grandaughter. Not totally dispositive, but a data point.
