Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the disaster of COVID-19, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered injuries, illnesses, or disabilities; or, who have passed away, from an infection of the COVID-19 BIOWEAPON virus itself, or from having been injected with any of the COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines.”

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: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except perhaps for AI-generated content within linked URLs. If readers wish to post AI-generated content in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Special Note regarding today’s offering: In no way is the following, or The Baric Files series in general in Health Friday posts, to be construed as a “character assassination”, or as an “indictment”, or as any other type of attack or smear on Ralph S. Baric, PhD, of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, or of his lab at the university. The linked scientific papers, images therefrom, and other information about Dr. Baric (such as his Curriculum Vitae [1]) are all available on the internet. The ideas and conclusion of today’s offering are by Yours Truly. There is a plethora of items related to Dr. Baric; Yours Truly will focus on some of them in each part of The Baric Files.

Yours Truly wishes to thank our host, Wolf Moon; Gail Combs; and others on the board here, who have brought information to light regarding the COVID-19 disaster (the BIOWEAPON virus itself; the BIOWEAPON “vaccines”; and the fallout from both), including information regarding Dr. Baric. I hope The Baric Files series has added to the knowledge base. In the course of producing The Baric Files, Yours Truly has read multiple scientific papers — blog articles — documents — grants information and applications — and, other pieces of information related to Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD. Even with all of this, however, it represents only a small part of the vast amount of information related to Dr. Baric and his research journey.

What Yours Truly has read has done several things for me: One, to understand more of how deep and wide was the scope of funding and research into the lab-creation of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) BIOWEAPON virus; Two, to understand more of how deep and wide was the scope of involvement of the United States military in this effort; Three, to understand more of the sheer magnitude of the damage potential that the lab-created SARS-CoV-2 BIOWEAPON virus had built into it; Four, to understand more of how this virus, which is the basis of ALL of the COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines”, had its damage potential “transferred” to these injectables; Five, to understand more of why this virus, and the “vaccines”, have forever changed humankind in multiple negative ways; and, Six, to understand more of why ALL of the COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines” MUST be immediately removed from the market and from use in the United States.

One more important thing to be understood, in Yours Truly’s opinion, by anyone who reads today’s offering, and indeed, The Baric Files series, is how one scientist — Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD — devoted over thirty years of focused, patient, methodical research into lab-creating the “template” for the modern scourge of humankind — the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In a way, it is like learning about how an artist — or, an architect — took years to create their masterpiece. Except, that in the case of Dr. Baric’s lab-creation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus “template”, it was a very different type of “masterpiece.” And, for this “masterpiece”, the creator / inventor was granted a US Patent.

Today’s offering is Part Six of six.

Recent NIH Grants to Dr. Baric:

Dr. Ralph Baric has continued to experiment with various types of viruses; among them, coronaviruses and flaviviruses (an example of a flavivirus is the Yellow Fever virus.) Below are screenshots from NIH RePorter regarding a grant to Dr. Baric given in the year 2022 [2]: the Title of the grant; the Abstract; the Funding Information source (NIAID); and, the Other Information about the grant:

Note the Budget Start Date of 16 May 2022 for the grant. Dr. Anthony Fauci retired from the NIAID (and NIH) at the end of December 2022.

Yours Truly will discuss the READDI-AC initiative, spearheaded by Dr. Baric, further down in today’s offering.

Another example, from the fiscal year 2024, NIH grants to the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, per Report.nih.gov/ [3]. Please see the screenshot below:

An example of NIH grants to Dr. Baric, this one related to experiments with Dengue Fever, with Dr. Baric being associated with the University of California Berkeley [4]. Please see the screenshots below regarding this grant: the Title; the Abstract; the Funding Institution (NIAID); the Funding grantee institution; and, the funding amounts list:


CIA involvement with Dr. Baric:

The following is from the article by Dr. Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, in The Focal Points [5]:

There is a video interview with Dr. McCullough on this topic embedded in the article.

The following screenshots are from the Zero Hedge article by Tyler Durden [6] on this subject (linked in The Focal Points article [5]):

Dr. Baric and his communications: possible “protecting” of him and his communications:

Regarding the possible “protection” of Dr. Baric:

An article by Matt Hartman in The Assembly NC from March 2025 [7] has the following regarding an FOIA request from U.S. Right to Know for emails and other communications by Dr. Baric and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

Another article on the requests for emails and other communications involving Dr. Baric and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, this on by Theresa Opeka in The Carolina Journal, June 2025 [8]. North Carolina Speaker of the state House, Destin Hall, wanted records from 2 July 2020 to 12 August 2024. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

However, transparency is not, apparently, the priority with the judges of North Carolina. In January 2026, the North Carolina Appeals Court rejected the efforts to allow the public to access the records that the University of North Carolina has regarding Dr. Baric’s interactions with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. This is covered in the article in The Carolina Journal on 7 January 2026. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

At issue here is the fact that UNC withheld over 5,000 documents related to Dr. Baric and the Wuhan Institute of Virology in response to the original request of US Right to Know. The university did release thousands of copies of other documents in response to the request. USRTK then sued the university to get the withheld documents released. The Appeals Court decision to reject the lawsuit hinges on an interpretation of what is considered to be “proprietary information“, stating that the documents still held by UNC are under “an exemption” to the law in North Carolina. Please see the screenshots, below, from the article on this situation in The Vaccine Reaction, by Carolyn Hendler, JD, 20 January 2026 [10]:

In other words, it appears that the North Carolina Appeals Court did another version of the infamous “what the definition of is, is” of another certain court case of some years ago.

How does this decision (and the court’s interpretation of “proprietary nature” language), square with the fact that Dr. Ralph Baric had already Patented, in March 2015, the SARS-CoV-2 virus “template” that he created in his lab at UNC? This is the Patent Number US9884895B2 that was presented by Yours Truly in The Baric Files, Part Three (see above in today’s offering for the URL link to the post and to the Patent.) And, that the SARS-CoV-2 virus “template” that Dr. Baric lab-created at UNC, and Patented, was based, at least in part, on samples of the SHC014 coronavirus that Dr. Zheng-li Shi (of the Wuhan Institute of Virology) had given to Dr. Baric (at his request) back in 2013? (Again, please refer to the URL link for The Baric Files, Part Three, above in today’s offering.)

One other aspect to all of the above: Dr. Robert Redfield, MD, former Director of the CDC, has stated that the SARS-CoV-2 disaster came from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Please see the screenshot of the statement by Dr. Redfield from the article by Theresa Opeka, from November 2024, regarding this issue [11]:

READDI-AC:

In 2022, Dr. Ralph Baric established READDI-AC, also known as the AViDD CENTER (READDI-AC), Rapidly Emerging Antiviral Drug Development Initiative – AViDD Center, at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (https://readdi.org/.) This antiviral drug development center was established with a $65 Million dollar grant from NIAID in May 2022. The Funding Information source (NIAID) screenshot from above in today’s offering is repeated, below:

From one of the READDI-AC websites (https://readdi.org/about-readdi/who-we-are):

A screenshot of part of the article from READDI-AC, “Why READDI-AC?” (https://sph.unc.edu/sph/news/why-readdi-inc/), 13 November 2023, is below. Notice that READDI-AC has already “evolved” into a “public-private corporation” of sorts.

A screenshot of the Funders / Collaborators list of READDI-AC (https://readdi.org/about-readdi/partners/) is below:

Dr. Ralph Baric’s wife, Antoinette “Toni” Baric, is the READDI-AC Development Manager. She is, apparently, associated with the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy (https://eshelmaninnovation.org/people/; https:/www.linkedin.com/toni-baric-83551628/.)

**** Regarding the collaboration between READDI-AC and the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC —see above in the READDI-AC Funders / Collaborators screenshot): SGC was the organization that commissioned the 2006 paper by Dr. Baric on Synthetic Genomics — the paper which contained the “outline” and “processes ideas” for lab-creating synthetic genomes for viruses: https://www.jcvi.org/sites/default/files/assets/projects/synthetic-genomics-options-for-governance/Baric-Synthetic-Viral-Genomics.pdf.

The SGC 2007 conference, which featured the ideas in the 2006 commissioned paper by Dr. Baric, is here: https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/3914/Synthetic%20Genomics%20Options%20for%20Governance.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y. A screenshot of the page in this published conference paper, indicating that Dr. Baric’s 2006 Synthetic Genomics paper was commissioned by the organization, is below (Page 53 of the conference paper):

In Yours Truly’s opinion, it appears that the efforts to “protect” Dr. Baric’s entire communications file from access to the public may be the result of what can be called “take care of me and I’ll take care you”-ism: the University of North Carolina wants its reputation (and its faculty) protected; SGC wants its interests in being the “founding entity” of the lab-created synthetic viral genomics concept protected; NIH / NIAID wants their agencies protected (along with their employees); and, the North Carolina legislature wants its financial stake in READDI-AC protected.

Finally, there is the list of 293 questions for Dr. Ralph Baric paper that was published on ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/397608384_293_QUESTIONS_FOR_DRRALPH_BARIC_2025, also available here: https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.22713.63840, Billy Bostickson, Steven D. Massey, et al., 14 November 2025. Please see the screenshots of the Brief Background section of this paper, below:

Health Friday is series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks of the disaster of COVID-19 (the bioweapon virus itself, and the bioweapon “vaccines”), Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered (or still suffer) from injuries, illnesses, or disabilities induced from either an infection of the COVID-19 virus itself, or induced from “vaccination” by COVID-19 “vaccines”; or, who have passed away from the negative effects of an infection by the COVID-19 virus itself, or from the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” they had in their body.

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 linke here. Note: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except for AI-generated content within linked URLs. If readers wish to post AI-generated content to today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Special Note regarding today’s offering: In no way is the following, or The Baric Files series in general in Health Friday posts, to be construed as a “character assassination”, or as an “indictment”, or as any other type of attack or smear on Ralph S. Baric, PhD, of the UNC GIllings School of Global Public Health of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, or of his lab at the university. The linked scientific papers, images therefrom, and other information about Dr. Baric (such as his Curriculum Vitae [1]) are all available on the internet. The ideas and conclusions of today’s offering are by Yours Truly. There is a plethora of items related to Dr. Baric; Yours Truly will focus on some of them in each part of The Baric Files.

Part One through Part Four of The Baric Files are linked here: https://www.theqtree.com/2025/12/05/health-friday-12-5-2025-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-one/; https://theqtree.com/2025/12/12/health-friday-12-12-2025-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-two-of-mice-rabbits-and-ai-23946/; https://www.theqtree.com/2026/01/02/health-friday-1-2-2026-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-three-patents-dr-anthony-fauci/; https://www.theqtree.com/2026/01/09/health-friday-1-9-2026-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-four-ecohealth-alliance-wuhan-institute-of-virology-dr-zheng-li-shi-the-template-patent/.

Thus far, in the research journey of Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, it has been seen that Dr. Baric progressed from the study of a certain virus (the Sindbid virus) carried by a certain mosquito — to the study of coronaviruses in other animals (mice, rabbits, pigs) — to the study of the SARS-CoV virus — to the inventions of, and applications of, methods to lab-create chimeric coronaviruses — to the invention of the “template virus” for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, for which Dr. Baric was granted the Patent in 2016.

However, there are other aspects in the research journey of Dr. Baric, one of which is: his involvement with the United States Defense Department.

Today’s offering is Part Five of six.

United States Department of Defense:

It appears that Dr. Baric has been involved with the United States Defense Department since at least 2018, if not before. The DEFUSE Proposal document that was presented to the Defense Department by Dr. Peter Daszak, then-CEO of EcoHealth Alliance, was written, in part, by Dr. Baric. Yours Truly covered this proposal in Part Four of The Baric Files (see above URL); and, is indebted to Jon Fleetwood for the linked article in today’s offering. Please see screenshots from his article [2], below:

From the DEFUSE Proposal document (top); and, from emails by Dr. Daszak regarding the proposal:

Again, from the DEFUSE Proposal document, below; this, about the furin cleavage sites in the potential SARS-CoV sequence that would be developed by Dr. Baric at his lab:

As Yours Truly wrote in Part Four of The Baric Files, the Defense Department did not pursue the DEFUSE Proposal. However, other entities did fund Gain-of-Function research that would result in the lab-creation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. These other entities include NIH / NIAID. These other entities also include DTRA (Defense Threat Reduction Agency), a division within the Defense Department. Two examples are: first, grant HDTRA11710064, which helped to fund a September 2020 paper co-authored by Dr. Baric [3]. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below: first, the Funding statement; then, the Conclusion:

A second example is HDTRA1-1C-C-0072, the grant which funded the development (invention) of the antiviral drug, EIDD-2801 (now known as molnupiravir [LAGEVRIO], a treatment for SARS-CoV-2 [COVID-19] infection.) [4]. Emory University and Dr. Ralph Baric collaborated on this work. Molnupiravir is theoretically supposed to “mimic” natural Uridine, thus supposedly assisting in fighting a COVID-19 infection. The problem is that molnupiravir is a dangerous drug intervention; one that must be administered only under strict conditions and only for a limited number of days. Please see the screenshots from the Emory University press release regarding EIDD-2801, below:

The FDA Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers for molnupiravir (LAGEVRIO) [5] lists the following required instructions for administration of the drug:

**** Yours Truly will not comment on, but simply mention, the irony that Dr. Ralph Baric, by September 2020, had already invented and Patented the SARS-CoV-2 virus (Patent Number US9884895B2, presented in Part Four of The Baric Files); that the Patent describes “methods for treatment” for an infection of this virus; and, that it appears that Emory University either did not know about said Patent, or ignored it.

**** Yours Truly will also comment on, but simply mention, the irony that molnupiravir (LAGEVRIO) attempts to “mimic” the Uridine in the body of a person “vaccinated” with a modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccine” (such as, BNT162b2 / COMIRNATY by Pfizer-BioNTech, which contains the lab-created compound N1-Methylpseudouridine, a compound that DESTROYS the natural Uridine RNA in the “vaccinated” person’s body.)

Fort Detrick involvement with Dr. Baric (including USAMRIID):

Fort Detrick, located at Frederick, Maryland, is a United States Army military base and biological laboratory; it is also the location of the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) [6].

An article in the People’s Daily (Communist China) in September 2021 drew attention to Dr. Baric’s involvement with Fort Detrick [7]. Granted, the CCP was doing / is likely still doing, all it can to deflect attention to the activities at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in the lab-creation of the COVID-19 virus; however, it confirms that Dr. Baric was involved, not only with the WIV, but also with the United States Defense Department, in the lab-creation of the virus. Please see the screenshot, below, from the People’s Daily article:

The People’s Daily article mentions two papers. The first, from 2006, [8], regards the Cynomolgus Macaque as a “model” for SARS infection. Please see the screenshot from this paper, below:

Yours Truly notes that, except for two co-authors associated with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and for the co-author Dr. Ralph Baric, every other co-author of this 2006 paper is associated with the United States military — Fort Detrick; Walter Reed Army Hospital; and, other Defense Department facilities. In addition, it appears that Gain-of-Function techniques were used in the work.

The other paper mentioned in the People’s Daily article, from 2003 [9], regards the use of reverse genetics to create a full-length cDNA SARS code (in other words, Gain-of-Function research.) Please see the Abstract from this paper, below:

Yours Truly will note the following that are also listed in the October 2003 paper: first, the top of the Affliations list in the sidebar linked from the Authors Info & Affiliations hyperlink in the paper; and, second, the Affiliations entry regarding Dr. Ralph Baric from that list, which states that he is affiliated with USAMRIID:

Another item linking Dr. Baric to USAMRIID: the talk that he gave at the USAMRIID annual research conference in 2023 [10]. Please see the screenshot from the article on this event, below:

(By the way, another speaker at this event in 2023 was Dr. Deborah Birx, herself a 29-year Army veteran.)

18 U.S.C. 2339; 18 U.S.C. 1001; and, 15 U.S.C. 1-3:

Yours Truly now turns to the work of Dr. David E. Martin, PhD. Dr. Martin is founder and CEO of M-CAM, Inc., a company that specializes in intellectual property risk management. A screenshot of a portion of his biography, from a conference in 2006 [11], is below:

In 2021, Dr. Martin wrote and published The Fauci/COVID-19 Dossier [12]. The following screenshots are from this Dossier.

Page 2, Background, regarding Patents granted to Dr. Baric and to UNC:

Page 8, Dr. Baric and Dr. Shi: Related to 18 U.S.C. 2339 — Funding and Conspiring to Commit Acts of Terror:

Page 12, DARPA and NIH funding of biomedical research: related to 18 U.S.C. 1001 –Lying to Congress:

The following three portions of the Dossier are related to 15 U.S.C. 1-3 — Conspiring to Criminal Commercial Activity:

Page 16, NIH and biodefense Gain-of-Function funding for Dr. Baric:

Page 17, more on Dr. Baric:

Page 18: Dr. Baric: DARPA involvement; biodefense awards to Dr. Baric / UNC (funneled via NIAID):

The Biodefense Grants to Dr. Baric / UNC are “officially” from the “Southeast Regional Centers of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases”, headquartered at UNC Chapel Hill. However, this entity (one of several such Regional Centers located in various areas of the United States) is funded by NIAID. NIAID, in turn, is in a “cooperative program” with USAMRIID (https://www.niaid.nih.gov/sites/default/files/category_a_progress_report.pdf, “NIAID Biodefense Research Agenda for CDC Category A Agents Progress Report”, August 2003, Page 6.)

Summary: In Part Five of The Baric Files, it can be seen that the research journey of Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, has progressed from the study of a certain mosquito that carries a certain virus (the Sindbid virus) — to the study of coronaviruses in other animals (mice and rabbits) — to the study of a certain coronavirus that occurs in pigs (the TGEV coronavirus) — to the study and application of methods to lab-create coronaviruses and the injection of such chimeric viruses into lab animals to study the effects of said injections — to the granting of Patents to Dr. Baric for this work — to the study of the SARS-line of coronaviruses — to the invention of the “template virus” for SARS-CoV-2 by Dr. Baric and the granting of the Patent to him for this invention — to Dr. Baric’s involvement with various divisions of the United States Defense Department in the lab-creation of coronaviruses. Along the way in his research journey, Dr. Baric was involved with the Dr. Zheng-li Shi of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Along the way in his research journey, some of the funding for Dr. Baric’s work was provided by the United States Defense Department (and some of which funding was “relayed” through NIAID.)

Questions that arise: Is Dr. Ralph Baric still affiliated with USAMRIID? Who exactly at NIAID accepted the funding from the United States Defense Department? Who exactly at NIAID signed the approval to send these funds to Dr. Baric? How much, if any, of the work performed by Dr. Baric with funding by the United States Defense Department was shared with Pfizer-BioNTech, or with Moderna, or with both companies?

To be continued in Part Six.

THE COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “VACCINES” — ALL OF THEM — MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET AND FROM ALL USE IN THE UNITED STATES. NOW. PERIOD.

THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.

THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.

Health Friday 1.9.2026 Open Thread: The Baric Files, Part Four: EcoHealth Alliance; Wuhan Institute of Virology; Dr. Zheng-li Shi; the “Template Patent”

The vintage image of laundering for the featured image today is courtesy of Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering (as are all the posts of The Baric Files) is related to the lab-creation of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus, Yours Truly dedicates it all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered an infection of this virus and recovered (with or without post-infection-induced complications); or, who have died from complications resulting from, or associated with, a COVID-19 virus infection.

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: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except perhaps for AI-generated images and/or text within linked URLs.

Special Note regarding today’s offering: In no way is the following, or The Baric Files series in general in Health Friday posts, to be construed as a “character assassination”, or as an “indictment”, or as any other type of attack or smear on Ralph S. Baric, PhD, of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, or of his lab at the university. The linked scientific papers, images therefrom, and other information about Dr. Baric (such as his Curriculum Vitae [1]) are all available on the internet. The ideas and conclusions of today’s offering are by Yours Truly. There is a plethora of items related to Dr. Baric; Yours Truly will focus on some of them in each part of The Baric Files.

Special Note regarding Part Four through Part Six of The Baric Files: Starting with Part Four, the research journey of Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, becomes more complex. What began in Part One with research into the Sindbis virus becomes more like an “octopus with many tentacles” by Part Four. Yours Truly will present some of the more important aspects of the now-augmented research journey of Dr. Baric. Please bear with me. Thank you.

Today’s offering is Part Four of six.

The Baric Files, Part Four: EcoHealth Alliance; Wuhan Institute of Virology; Dr. Zheng-li Shi; the “Template Patent”

To “lay the groundwork” for The Baric Files, Part Four, it is necessary to first make a slight “detour” regarding two things: the ACE2 receptor cells of the human body; and, the increasing focus of Dr. Baric’s experiments with SARS-CoV coronaviruses after the year 2002. Both are important components in his research journey.

The ACE2 receptor cells of the human body: The following article by Sriram, et al., from May 2020 discusses these cells [2]. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:

In his research journey, Dr. Baric performed experiments with ACE2 cells, and also produced review / analysis papers regarding ACE2 cells. One example is a 2009 paper by Baric and Graham [3] which discusses recombination experiments (which may be otherwise known as Gain-of-Function experiments) of the spike protein of coronaviruses and “cross-species transmission.” Please see the screenshots from this paper, below:

An example of the increasing work with SARS-CoV viruses: In his research journey, Dr. Baric also performed Gain-of-Function experiments with lung cells (which also included mention of shedding of the SARS-CoV virus via infected lung ciliated cells). An example of this work is a 2004 paper from Baric, et al. [4]. This paper was funded by the NIH. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below:

Ciliated cells in the lungs are cells that have tiny “hair-like” protrusions (cilia) that, among other functions, help to remove mucus.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now, on to EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology:

These entities were funded, in part, by NIH / NIAID: either, to disperse funds to other research entities (via EcoHealth Alliance); or, direct funding to other research entities for Gain-of-Function work (Wuhan Institute of Virology; the Baric lab at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health.) These funds were to be used for performing Gain-of-Function experiments on coronaviruses. In 2018, the DEFUSE proposal by EcoHealth Alliance, which was presented to the United States Defense Department, specifically mentions the roles that Dr. Ralph Baric (at UNC) and that Dr. Zheng-li Shi (of the Wuhan Institute of Virology) would play [5]. Please see the screenshots below from the proposal; first, the Title page:

From Page one:

From Page two:

From Page four:

From Pages five and six:

One more item needs to be mentioned: SHC014. This “SARS-like coronavirus” infects horseshoe bats. It was discovered in Yunnan Province in Communist China. Please keep WIV1 and SHC014 in mind while reading on.

In Yours Truly’s opinion, the DEFUSE proposal reads like a “blueprint” for a kind of elaborate “grant funds-laundering plus experiment-laundering” scheme under the aegis of EcoHealth Alliance. The Defense Department did not pursue the proposal. Instead, it appears that NIH / NIAID stepped in and provided funding for both Dr. Baric and for Dr. Shi via EcoHealth Alliance. For example, the NIAID issued a statement in October 2021 regarding that agency’s awarding grant R01AI110964 for experiments leading to the lab-creation of SARS-CoV-2 to the Wuhan Institute of Virology [6]. Please see the screenshot from this statement, below:

Both the United States General Accounting Office (GAO) and USA Spending have documented the R01AI110964 award grant by NIAID to EcoHealth Alliance to be dispersed to the Wuhan Institute of Virology {7}, [8]. Notwithstanding the NIAID statement above, the agency used taxpayer money to help fund the lab-creation of SARS-CoV-2 via experiments performed at the Wuhan Institute of Virology — and used what appears to be a “grant funding-laundering” scheme to do this. Please see the screenshots below; the first, from the GAO report; the second, from the USA Spending report:

After the NIH / NIAID was caught funding Wuhan University and the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), the NIH grant R01AI110964 was terminated in 2022, with NIH citing “non-compliance” by the WIV in certain reporting areas [9].

However, it appears that Dr. Ralph Baric was one of the United States-based persons also using funds from R01AI110964. He, along with his co-authors (United States-based and overseas-based) collaborated on a paper, published on 3 September 2020, regarding the potential for SARS-CoV-2 “spillover” to wildlife [10].

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Dr. Zheng-li Shi

It appears that Dr. Ralph Baric had an exchange with Dr. Zheng-li Shi in 2013 at a conference [11]. It may be assumed that he had already known about her experiments with the SHC014 bat coronavirus. He asked her to send him some samples of this virus, which she did. Please the screenshots below from the above article:

It was after the 2013 exchange between Dr. Baric and Dr. Shi that the R01AI110964 grant was authorized in 2014 for SARS-CoV research at multiple facilities, including the Baric lab at UNC and at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (see above in today’s offering.)

It is interesting to note that EcoHealth Alliance (with, it appears, the consent and/or knowledge of Dr. Baric) was misleading the United States Defense Department regarding the DEFUSE Proposal that EcoHealth Alliance presented in 2018 [12]. It appears that EcoHealth was going to “emphasize” the United States portion of the SARS-CoV research that DEFUSE would fund, and “minimize” the involvement of Dr. Shi and the Wuhan institute of Virology. Please see the screenshots below from this article:

Dr. Zheng-li Shi denies ever actually working with Dr. Baric at his lab at UNC; instead, she sent the SHC014 samples and collaborated with Dr. Baric via other means (possibly, emails; written documents; and so on.) However, since Dr. Shi works at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (which itself is under the aegis of the Communist Chinese Peoples Liberation Army), it can perhaps be mentioned that “the truth is up for grabs” in this situation. These questions also arise: Were the students or others working at Dr. Baric’s lab who were from Communist China? If there were, is it possible that they were “information conduits” to persons working at the Wuhan Institute of Virology? Please see the screenshot from the True Story Award article by Jane Qiu [13] in February 2022, below:

Nonetheless, Dr. Shi and Dr. Baric were co-authors of the 2015 paper [14] which describes a “SARS-like cluster” of bat coronaviruses that could infect humans through zoonotic “leap “. This paper is sometimes cited as the “start of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.” Please see the screenshots from this paper, below; first, the Abstract; followed by two portions of the Main section; and, ending with the Acknowledgements:

The above 2015 Baric, Shi, et al., paper is Gain-of-Function on the SHC014 CoV bat coronavirus in order to render this virus possible to infect humans.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The “Template Patent”

The 2015 Baric, Shi, et al., paper above was published on 9 November 2015. This would assume at least six months of work, data collection and analysis, writing the paper and submitting it for peer-review, and so on, prior to publication. The paper was submitted on 12 June 2015 and accepted on 8 October 2015.

The following are screenshots from US Patent 9884895B2 granted to Ralph Baric, et al., via the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill on 18 October 2016. This Patent was applied for by Dr. Baric, et al., on 20 March 2015.[15] Please see the screenshots from the Patent document, below: first, the Patent Title and US Patent Number listing; second, the Invention and timeline section; third, the general Description; fourth, from the Detailed Description of the Invention (examples: the continuous mention of the use of the 2b subdivision of SARS-CoV viruses in the lab-creation (chimeric creation) of the possible SARS-CoV-2 virus “template”, including SHC014 and WIV1; the use of the Venezuela Equine Encephalitis virus in the lab-creation of the possible SARS-CoV-2 virus “template”; the use of Virus-like Particles in the lab-creation of the possible SARS-CoV-2 virus “template”; fifth, descriptions of methods to treat, prevent, and/or protect against an infection by this lab-created chimeric virus; sixth, from the Examples section regarding the development of a “vaccine” against an infection of such a virus; and, several figures from the Patent document.

It is interesting to note in the above screenshot the language regarding the lab-creation of a potentially lethal virus under BSL2 laboratory conditions.

Fig. 2 from the Patent: the S1/S2 site:

Fig. 6 from the Patent: graphic of the chimeric spike:

Fig. 10 from the Patent: the chimeric spike with the Venezuela Equine Encephalitis added:

Yours Truly: the above last screenshot regarding “methods” for treatment / prevention / protection against, an infection by this possible SARS-CoV-2 “template virus”, reads like a possible “list of basic ingredients” for products such as the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” [by Pfizer-BioNTech and by Moderna]; and also the “inactivated protein subunit” COVID-19 “vaccine” [by Novavax].

Several questions arise: First, did Dr. Ralph Baric share with Dr. Zheng-li Shi any of the work involved leading up to the application for US Patent 9884895B2? Second, did NIH share any information from US Patent 9884895B2 with Pfizer-BioNTech, or Moderna, or the United States Defense Department, or all of these, after the Patent was assigned to NIH in May 2017? Third, exactly to whom at NIH was the Patent assigned in May 2017? Fourth, exactly who at NIH holds the Patent assignment currently,especially since the Patent is in force until the year 2035? Fifth, was any information that Dr. Baric may have shared with Dr. Shi involved in the “lab leak”/ intentional release, of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab in late 2019?

Thus far, it appears that the research journey of Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, has progressed from the study of a mosquito-borne virus, to experiments with swine coronaviruses, to experiments with SARS-coronaviruses of various types, to the lab-creation of the “template virus” for SARS-CoV-2, to the Patent for the “Template Virus” for SARS-CoV-2; a Patent which also describes “methods” to treat, prevent, or to protect against infection, of such virus. It is Yours Truly’s opinion that, while the SARS-CoV-2 virus that was released into the world in late 2019 emanated from the lab of Dr. Zheng-li Shi at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the “template” for this virus was very likely constructed in the lab of Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, and a United States Patent for this “template virus” was issued to Dr. Baric in 2016..

To be continued in Part Five.

Health Friday 1.2.2026 Open Thread: The Baric Files, Part Three: Patents; Dr. Anthony Fauci

The header image of drawings for a Patent application is courtesy of Getty Images, ThoughtCo, and Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the disaster of COVID-19, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered health issues from to an infection of the COVID-19 virus itself; or, from the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” that they have in their bodies; or, who have passed away from complications due to an infection of the COVID-19 virus itself, or from complications due to the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” they had in their bodies.

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: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except for AI-generated images and/or text within linked URLs. If readers wish to post AI-generated content to today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Yours Truly wishes one and all a Happy New Year 2026.

Special Note regarding today’s offering: In no way is the following, or The Baric Files in general in the Health Friday posts, to be construed as a “character assassination”, or as an “indictment”, or as any other type of attack or smear on the Ralph Baric, PhD, of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, or of his lab at the university. The linked scientific papers, images therefrom, and other information about Dr. Baric (such as, his Curriculum Vitae [1]) are all available on the internet. The ideas and conclusions of today’s offering are by Yours Truly. There is a plethora of information related to Dr. Baric; Yours Truly will focus on a few of them in each part of The Baric Files.

Today’s offering is Part Three of six. For other information regarding Dr. Baric, please see: https://www.theqtree.com/2025/12/05/health-friday-12-5-2025-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-one/; and, https://www.theqtree.com/2025/12/12/heatlh-friday-12-12-2025-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-two-of-mice-rabbits-and-ai-23946/.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Baric Files, Part Three: Patents; Dr. Anthony Fauci

Patents:

Ralph S. Baric, PhD, owns 25 to 30 Patents (depending on whether one is looking at, for example, https://justia.com/patents/, or at https://patents.google.com/, or at NIH RePorter at https://report.nih.gov/) related to items he found or created during his research journey into coronaviruses and/or his Gain-of-Function experiments. What is definite, however, is that our old friend, NIH grant AI23946 (also called AI023946) figures in at least three of these Patents: Patent Number 6593111; Patent Number 7279327; and, Patent Number 7618802 — all of which are associated with his lab the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.

Patent Number 6593111 is titled, “Directional assembly of large viral genomes and chromosomes.”

Patent Number 7279327 is titled, “Methods of Producing Recombinant Coronaviruses.”

Patent Number 7618802 is titled, “Methods and compositions for infectious cDNA of SARS coronavirus.”

Yours Truly will focus on Patent Number 6593111 [2], the timeline of which Patent begins on 5 May 2001. The NIH grant AI023946 has been “extended” several times; in this Patent, it is called “AI023946-08“, and the Patent Number has been changed to “US6593111B2.” By now, Dr. Baric’s research journey has taken him to experimenting with coronaviruses that infect pigs: in particular, the TGE virus (Transmissible Gastroenteritis virus, also called Transmissible Gastroenteritis Coronavirus [TGEV].) The following screenshots are from the Patent document. The screenshots are, in order: the Abstract; the Events summary; the first paragraph of the Summary of the Invention section; from the Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments discussion section; and, Fig. 1a and Fig. 2 from the images in the Patent document:

Note, in the screenshot above, the mention of “vaccines and expression vectors”; and, the sentence, “The vectors may be targeted to other species by, for example, replacing the S glycoprotein gene.” This paragraph, in Yours Truly’s’ opinion, begins the eventual “tie-into evolution” of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In other words — Gain-of-Function research and application.

However, there is another item in Patent Number US6593111B2 that is interesting: the list of Legal Events near the end of the document. A screenshot of this list is below:

Note that UNC (Baric lab) “transferred” the ownership of the Patent to the NIH in 2008. Note also that on 18 January 2011, someone at NIH must have sent the Patent Fee payment that would be good for eight years. A Fee payment for a Patent is a “Patent Maintenance Fee” that “preserve a patent.” [3] Note also, that on 15 January 2015, someone at NIH must have sent the Patent Fee payment that would good for twelve years (thus theoretically preserving the Patent until January 2027.) However, on the Events Summary list for Patent Number US6593111B2 (in the images above), it lists the Patent as Status Expired – Lifetime. This brings up some questions: To what person at NIH was Patent US6593111 transferred to in 2008? The NIH Director in June 2008 was Elias Zerhouni, MD [4]. When he left the NIH, who did he designate to take over NIH ownership of the Patent? Is Patent US6593111B2 still in force, even though it is listed as “Status Expired – Lifetime?” Is it still in force, but under a different name?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Anthony Fauci, MD, Director of NIAID 1984 – 2022:

It can be assumed that Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, had been on the “radar” of Dr. Anthony Fauci, MD, Director of the NIAID division (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases division) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) since at least 1984, if not before (Dr. Fauci had joined NIH in 1968, shortly after completing his medical Residency.) This “being on his radar” situation, in Yours Truly’s opinion, would have included, at the least, what may be called a “bowing acquaintance” with Dr. Baric through NIAID funding applications and grants dispersements reports.

In fact, NIH / NIAID (and, it can be assumed, within the knowledge of Dr. Anthony Fauci), was funding Dr. Barics’s Gain-of-Function research on coronaviruses as far back as at least the year 2003 [5]. The 2003 paper not only describes what can only be called Gain-of-Function experiments with SARS coronaviruses; it also describes the Baric-invented “No see ‘m” procedure for covering up gene code insertions in the lab-creation of SARS coronavirus “clone” viruses. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below. Note that our old friend, NIH grant AI23946, was involved in the funding of the 2003 paper. Below are: the Abstract, the Figure 1., and, the Acknowledgements sections from this paper:

Note that one of the co-authors of the 2003 paper is Thomas M. Geisbert, of the the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (also known as USAMRIID, located at Fort Detrick, Maryland.)

Another example of NIH / NIAID / Dr. Anthony Fauci funding Gain-of-Function research by Dr. Baric is NIH grant R01AI059136-04, from 2004 [6]. Please see the screenshots from the documents on this grant, below: of the Title for the grant; the Abstract; the Funding Agency; and, the receiving Institution:

Dr. Fauci has denied ever knowing Dr. Baric. However, there is evidence to the opposite: Please see the screenshots, below, from a February 2023 U.S. Right to Know article by Emily Kopp [7]:

A screenshot of a photo from the Emily Kopp article:

The official work calendar for Dr. Anthony Fauci was released via FOIA from Open The Books [8]. The calendar shows that Dr. Fauci met with Dr. Baric in February 2020. A screenshot from the article in Open The Books on this situation is below:

An article by Sainath Suryanarayanan in U.S. Right to Know related to Dr. Baric’s emails early in the COVID-19 pandemic [9]. These emails were either from Dr. Baric, or were sent to him as part of a group email from various institutions and/or government agencies and/or from medical professionals in these institutions or agencies. In these emails, the “code name” for the burgeoning COVID-19 virus infection situation in the United States was “Red Dawn Responding, Start 16 March.” The emails were released through a public records request.

By the way, Dr. Baric and his lab at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill worked with Gilead Sciences to create remdesivir (Veklury), a COVID-19 treatment drug that can have a mortality rate of 50%, and also can cause kidney damage [10] [11] [12] [13]. Please see the screenshots below; the first, from the University of North Carolina article about the creation of remdesivir; the others are also items regarding this drug:

Please see Reference [10].

Veklury Package Insert,Warnings and Precautions:

Please see Reference [11].

Please see Reference [12].

World Health Organization (WHO) advisory against using Veklury (remdesivir):

Please see Reference [13].

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It is apparent that by at least the year 2003, Dr. Baric’s research journey was shifting to methods and applications for the cloning of coronaviruses, including his invention of the “No see ‘m” method of covering up insertions into coronavirus gene code pieces in the lab-creation of the cloning of coronaviruses to make such insertions “un-traceable.”

To be continued in The Baric Files: Part Four.

Health Friday 12.26.2025 Open Thread: Year-End Wrap-Up Edition

The header image for today’s offering is courtesy of The Productive Woman and Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks of the COVID-19 disaster, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered further illness, or injuries, or disabilities, from an infection of the COVID-19 virus itself, or from the COVID-19 “vaccines” they have in their bodies; or, who have passed away from complications related to an infection of the COVID-19 virus itself, or from issues induced from the COVID-19 “vaccines” they have in their bodies.

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: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated content. There may be AI-generated content (images, text, etc.) in certain linked URLs in today’s offering. If readers wish to add AI-generated content to today’s discussion thread, they must identify it as such. Thank you.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Today’s offering is the Year-End Wrap-Up Edition. It has been a year of implementation of some of the Make America Healthy Again agenda of President Donald Trump 47 and of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

It has also, sadly, been a year of health issues and of losses among the denizens of The Q Tree. Susan Sampson (DePat / Deplorable Patriot) and Georgia Swink Smith (GL/FL) have departed this world and are badly missed. There are those at The Q Tree who have lost family members, dear friends, and other loved ones, who are badly missed. May all of the deceased rest in eternal Peace under the Wings of the Almighty God. There are also those at The Q Tree who are still dealing with health issues. SteveInCO decided to leave the blog; our good Kalbokalbs has taken over the Saturday article spot. If Yours Truly has left anyone out, apologies: it is not intentional. The Q Tree soldiers on.

Links to The COVID-19 Information Files: Part One: https://www.theqtree.com/2024/11/01/health-friday-open-thread-11-1-2024-the-covid-19-vaccines-information-file-part-one/; Part Two: https://www.theqtree.com/2025/03/07/health-friday-3-7-2925-open-thread-the-covid-19-informaiton-file-part-two-the-virus-itself-and-the-vaccines/; Part Three: https://www.theqtree.com/health-friday-11-21-2025-open-thread-the-covid-19-information-file-part-three-compendium/.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It appears that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is taking steps to rein in the decades-long “strangle-hold” that Big Pharma has on that department. Two examples: One: cutting $500 million in development grants under BARDA for further research and development of mRNA-based “vaccines.” Please see: https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/hhs-winds-down-mrna-development-under-barda.html, 5 August 2025. BARDA is the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, a division of ASPR (Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, itself a division of the United States Public Health Service.) BARDA, ASPR, and the United States Public Health Service are all under the purview of the Department of Health and Human Services. And, Two: terminating millions of dollars in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics, after that organization sued HHS over changes that HHS Sec. Kennedy and others made to the “recommended vaccination schedules” of the CDC. Please see: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/hhs-cuts-millions-grants-american-academy-pediatrics-rcna249769, “HHS cuts millions in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics,” 17 December 2025.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Some recent COVID-19 news:

First, a new paper by Dr. Peter A. McCullough, et al., proving that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” do indeed induce cancer and other types of serious adverse medical conditions among the “vaccinated” [1], [2]. Please see the screenshot of the Abstract of this paper, below:

The above paper takes the place of the earlier one by McCullough, et al., on the same subject; an earlier paper which was published, then had thousands of views online, before it was abruptly Removed by the publisher. This earlier paper has vanished; only the Removal notice is available to see.

Second, a recently-published paper by Dasa He., et al., which demonstrates that chemotherapy can “awaken” dormant cancer cells [3]. Please see the Abstract and the Graphical Summary from this paper, below. Note: the entire article is available only via institutional access; or, via subscription access; or, via article purchase.

Third, this, from https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/80-lawsuits-against-hospitals-to, “80 Lawsuits Against Hospitals To Administer IVERMECTIN To Sick COVID Patients”, 24 December 2025. Please see the screenshot from the article, below:

There is an embedded video interview with Dr. Bret Weinstein, PhD, on this situation. The information regarding the lawsuits is taken from the book by Dr. Pierre Kory, MD, The War on Ivermectin: The Medicine that Saved Millions and Could Have Ended the Pandemic (available on https://www.amazon.com/.)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The “freight train-like approach” of the next “Plandemic”, this one of Avian Influenza (and, likely, an Avian Influenza that will be “cobbled together” from elements of multiple strains of this virus AND lab-tested to make sure that the strain that is created is deadly to birds, animals, and humans alike), is steadily gathering steam. Two of the most recent developments in this situation are below:

First: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/bill-gates-cepi-revives-moderna-mrna, “Bill Gates’ CEPI Revives Moderna mRNA Bird Flu Vaccine Development With $54M Investment After HHS Terminated Funding”, 19 December 2025. HHS Secretary Kennedy, Jr., had terminated grants totaling over $700 Million dollars to Moderna in May of 2025 related to research and development of mRNA-1018, the company’s modRNA-based Avian Influenza “vaccine.”

Second: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/usdas-bird-flu-test-matches-bird, “USDA’s Bird Flu Test Matches Bird and Cow DNA, Not Just Viral DNA: BLAST Data”, 20 December 2025. Mr. Fleetwood put the the USDA’s current Avian Influenza PCR test through the BLAST software (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool, provided by the United States government), and discovered that the test results data reveal exact matches for multiple DNA genome codes in both birds and cows. In other words, the USDA’s current Avian Influenza PCR test is not only NOT accurate — it can result in multiple “false positives” for Avian Influenza infection. Please see the screenshot from the article, below:

Yours Truly firmly believes that the groundwork for a “worldwide Avian Influenza pandemic” is in the final stage of development. This is something to “be on the lookout” about.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Finally, Katherine Watt closed her Bailiwick News Substack this month. Ms. Watt did enormous and detailed research into the legal documents between the United States Army, the Department of Health and Human Services, and Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, related to the development of the COVID-19 virus itself, and the development of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines.” A selection of her research has been archived here: https://bailiwicknewsarchives.wordpress.com/. Yours Truly wishes her well.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

THE COVID-19 “VACCINES” — ALL OF THEM — MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET AND FROM USE IN THE UNITED STATES. NOW. PERIOD.

ALL GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCH, NO MATTER ON WHAT DRUG OR “VACCINE”, MUST STOP. NOW. PERIOD.

THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.

Health Friday 12.19.2025 Open Thread: Christmas Gift Exchange Edition

Health Friday is a series devoted to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics.

There are Important Notifications by 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: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except perhaps for AI-generated content within linked URLs. If readers wish to post AI-generated content in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Today’s offering is the Christmas Gift Exchange Edition. A Gift Exchange of items, of ideas, of stories, of opinions. Yours Truly offers these:

A true story:

Dr. Joseph Henry Salisbury (1823 – 1905) served in the Civil War as a physician to the Union Army. The soldiers were dying from diseases — dysentery, typhoid, diarrhea. Dr. Salisbury looked into the diet that the soldiers were being given — which was black coffee, beans, hardtack, and minimal amounts of meat. These items were the cheapest that could be provided in bulk. But, this diet was killing the soldiers via inducing serious deficiencies which then permitted the establishment of serious diseases. Dr. Salisbury decided to change that.

What he did was to prescribe that more meat be given to the soldiers. Lean, chopped beefsteak, cooked. Taken along with coffee. Three times a day. His prescription was implemented. The health and morale of the soldiers began to improve.

Dr. Salisbury invented what is now known as Salisbury Steak: chopped steak (ground beef is mostly used now) mixed with onions and seasoning, covered with a gravy, then broiled. Dr. Salisbury further studied the interaction between diet and disease. He believed that beef was a defense against heart disease and tumors, among other conditions. He published a book on the subject, The Relation of Alimentation and Disease, in 1888.

A gift, free copies of the book by Dr. Salisbury: The book is available as a free download as a PDF file, here: https://wellcomecollection.org/works/dpgnzdv2. It is also available for free download in multiple file formats, here: https://archive.org/details/b2150796x/mode/2up (look at “Download Option” on the right of the page.)

For readers who wish to purchase a printed copy of the book, they can find it in hardbound or paperback versions, here: https://www.amazon.com/, search “The Relation of Alimentation and Disease.” For more information about Dr. Joseph Henry Salisbury, please see: https://www.theburningplatform.com/2025/11/23/salisburys-steak-medicine/, by Sama Hoole.

Dr. Joseph H. Salisbury, per the entry in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_H_Salisbury):


However, the current situation with the price of beef is problematic, at best. For example, below are screenshots from https://www.theburningplatform.com/2025/12/18/meat-monopoly/:

This screenshot is from https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/2001375304166814048.

The above screenshot is from https://x.com/DOGEai_tx/status/2001376046176719354.

There are independent beef producers all around the country that sell antibiotic-free and/or mRNA “vaccine”-free beef online. There are likely local farmers, depending on where readers live, who also sell beef that they raise that are antibiotic and/or mRNA “vaccine” free. Prices will vary. Local grocery stores may have certain cuts of beef on sale.

————————————————————

A recipe from Yours Truly: Almond Butter, Cinnamon, and Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches

Ingredients:

Plain, flat cookies (I use Lotus brand Biscoff Cookies)

Almond butter, any brand (or homemade)

Ground cinnamon

Bar of dark chocolate, broken into small pieces; have an extra bar on hand (I use Dove Dark Chocolate bars, broken into small pieces)

Optional, for those who desire an “adult flavoring”: a favorite liqueur or hard liquor

Method:

On a large plate, place several of the cookies, “name side” down. Have an equal number of cookies at hand to use for the “tops” of the cookie sandwiches.

Combine 2 Tablespoons of the almond butter with a sprinkle or two of the cinnamon. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the “adult flavoring”, if desired. Mix until smooth.

Spread the almond butter mixture evenly, but not thickly, on both the “underneath” cookies and the “tops” cookies. Don’t put them together yet. If more almond butter mixture is needed, make some more. Then, proceed to working with the dark chocolate pieces.

Place several pieces of the broken up dark chocolate bar into a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High just until the chocolate is soft but not “runny.” (Yours Truly uses 15-second time increments for this and checks after each time segment.) Stir the chocolate gently with a small spoon. Drizzle the chocolate on the “underneath” cookies. Cover with the “tops” cookies. Press very lightly together. If more chocolate is needed, microwave some more small pieces until soft but not “runny”, the proceed as above.

Repeat the above method until all the cookies are used.

Put the cookie sandwiches, still on the plate, in the refrigerator for a few hours to chill before serving. It’s all right to “layer” the cookie sandwiches on the plate; just separate the layers of filled cookies with wax paper. Refrigerate leftovers in layers, separated by wax paper, in a covered container.

An 8-oz package of the Lotus brand Biscoff cookies makes about 12 cookie sandwiches. Enjoy!

Bonus: Leftover almond butter + cinnamon + chocolate (+ optional “adult flavoring”) spread is great on toast!

————————————————————

To close, the gift of a wish:

May all who read this offering today have Good Health, Good Energy, and Peace of body, mind, and spirit.

Health Friday is a series devoted to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the disaster of COVID-19, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered injuries, illnesses, or disabilities; or, who have passed away from, the manifestations of the COVID-19 disaster: from an infection of the COVID-19 virus itself; or, from COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced or -aggravated injuries, illnesses, or disabilities due to the COVID-19 “vaccines” that they took; or, from complications induced by the shedding of either the COVID-19 virus itself, or by the COVID-19 “vaccines.”

There are Important Notifications by our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of out late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated content; to the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except perhaps for AI-generated images within linked URLs. If readers wish to post AI-generated content to today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Special Note regarding today’s offering: In no way is the following, or The Baric Files series in general in Health Friday posts, to be construed as a “character assassination”, or as an “indictment”, or as any other type of attack or smear on Ralph S. Baric, PhD, of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, or of his lab at the university. The linked scientific papers, images therefrom, and other information about Dr. Baric (such as, his Curriculum Vitae) are all available on the internet. The ideas and conclusions of today’s offering are by Yours Truly. There is a plethora of items related to Dr. Baric; Yours Truly will focus on some of them in each part of The Baric Files.

Today’s offering is Part Two of six. Please refer to Part One for previous information: https://www.theqtree.com/2025/12/05/health-friday-12-5-2025-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-one/.

Now, to today’s offering:The Baric Files, Part Two: Of Mice, Rabbits, Templates, and AI 23946 (also known as AI023946 as per NIH Reporter.)

In reading through the section VIII. PUBLISHED MANUSCRIPTS: in the Curriculum Vitae for Ralph S. Baric, PhD, of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, it appears that Dr. Baric’s research efforts began to shift away from the Sindbis virus that he was investigating early on in his career, to murine (mice), rabbits, and coronaviruses in general: for example, published manuscripts starting with number 11. Please see the screenshot, below, of portions of Page 11 and Page 12 of his Curriculum Vitae [1]:

Yours Truly turns to published manuscript number 11, dated 1986. By now in the research journey of Dr. Baric, it appears that he was starting to experiment with combining pieces of viruses, a process called “recombination.” Published manuscript number 11 [2] is the result of such experiments with mouse coronaviruses. At the time that this paper was published, Dr. Baric was a Post-doctoral Fellow at the University of Southern California Los Angeles School of Medicine. This occurred before he was hired by the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below; first, the general summary; and, second, a portion of the Discussion section:

Note the mentions of “mRNAs”, “coronavirus”, “transcription”, and “recombinant viruses.”

There are other published manuscripts (papers) by Dr. Baric that relate to experiments with mouse coronaviruses, such paper number 16, from 1988, which discusses the interaction between certain coronavirus sequences and “the nucleocapsid protein” [3].

By the year 1990, Dr. Baric’s research journey had led to studying heart issues in rabbits. The first result of this study was the 1990 paper, “Rabbit cardiomyopathy” [4]. Please see the screenshots of the Title page of this paper; the Introduction of this paper; and, a portion of the Discussion section, below:

There is one more screenshot from this 1990 paper, which Yours Truly considers to be a significant publication in the research journey of Dr. Baric: the Acknowledgements section:

Please take note of the mention of NIH grant AI 23946. This grant also funded, for example:

The 1992 paper by Dr. Baric and colleagues, “An experimental model for dilated cardiomyopathy after rabbit coronavirus infection” [5}. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below: the Title and general summary page; a portion of the Results section; the Figure 1.; and, the mention of funding by NIH grant AI 23946:

Yours Truly decided to investigate more regarding the NIH grant award AI 23946 to Dr. Baric. Two more (of the multiple papers) funded by this grant are: one, for example, from 2005: “Coronavirus Genome Structure and Replication” [6]. Please see the screenshots, below, from this paper: the Title and Authors page; the Future Directions section; and, the Acknowledgements:

And, NIH grant AI 23946 also funded this paper by Dr. Baric, from 2009 [7], “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus nsp9 Dimerization Is Essential for Efficient Viral Growth.” Please see the screenshots from this paper, below: the Title page; the Summary; the Acknowledgements; and, the specific paragraph regarding the mouse hepatitis virus protein A59 (MHV-A59), which Dr. Baric was experimenting with back in 1986 (the Published Manuscript Number 11 [2], screenshots from which are above in today’s offering):

Below is the specific paragraph regarding MHV-59 and the nsp9 connection:

Dimerization is the process whereby two molecules of the same, or similar, chemical composition, join together to create a “dimer.”

————————————————————

Yours Truly is aware that all the above may appear as a “long tale to tell.” However, the point is to “trace” how Dr. Baric used one particular NIH grant, AI 23946 (among many other NIH grants, to be sure) to help fund his research journey. Part One and Part Two discuss his experimenting with a mosquito-borne virus — to experiments with mouse hepatitis and mouse coronavirus proteins — to experiments with rabbit coronavirus proteins — to experiments of the recombination of mouse hepatitis and mouse coronavirus proteins — to experiments with inducing myocarditis and Congestive Heart Failure in rabbits injected with rabbit coronaviruses: experiments that, with the exception of the ones on the Sindbis virus, were funded, at least in part, by AI 23946.

Along the way of what may be called “the NIH grant AI 23946 aspect” of Dr. Baric’s research journey, one observes that the focus of work becomes more concentrated; the research and laboratory methods become more complex and sophisticated; and, the work on combining coronaviruses and how to create “new versions” of them is emphasized (in other words, Gain-of-Function research.)

It appears, in Yours Truly’s opinion, that what began as Dr. Baric’s research into a certain virus (the Sindbis virus) carried by a certain mosquito (his published manuscripts 1980 – 1984 [1]), had, certainly by the year 2009, evolved into something very different: a detailed study of, and development of, lab-application processes for coronavirus gene code combination, genome manipulation, and inducement of disease conditions — including heart issues and severe respiratory infection — from these combinations and manipulations.

Part Three will discuss NIH grant AI 23946 further, in addition to presenting other aspects of Dr. Baric’s research journey.

ALL COVID-19 “VACCINES” MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET AND FROM USE IN THE UNITED STATES. NOW.

ALL GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCH IN THE UNITED STATES MUST STOP. NOW.

THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.

THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.

THERE. MUST. BE. TRUTH.

Today’s offering is Part One of six.

The Baric Files, Part One: The Beginnings

Ralph S. Baric, PhD, is a professor at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Please see screenshots from his UNC faculty profile, below [1}:

Dr. Baric has been affiliated with the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, since 1986. Please see the screenshots from his Curriculum Vitae, below regarding his education and employment [2]:

One was curious as to the beginnings of Dr. Baric’s scientific research journey, a journey which ultimately led him to the lab-creation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19 virus). Looking through the section VIII. PUBLISHED MANUSCRIPTS: of Dr. Baric’s Curriculum Vitae, it appears, in Yours Truly’s opinion, that the journey began with:

A mosquito. A certain mosquito that carries a certain virus. A certain virus called the Sindbis virus. A virus particle of which, in certain ways, looks like a “prototype” of a COVID-19 virus particle.

There are several listings of early papers co-authored by Dr. Baric regarding the Sindbis virus. It appears that after a paper on the Sindbis virus that he co-authored was published in 1984, his research attention began to shift to mouse viruses and rabbit viruses — coronaviruses. A screenshot from this portion of Dr. Baric’s Curriculum Vitae is below:

What is the Sindbis virus? Please see the screenshots below, from the Wikipedia entry on the subject [3]; first, of the text:

And, an image of the Sindbus virus particle, also per the WIkipedia entry:

The Sindbis virus does indeed have a nucleocapsid and spike structure (as does the COVID-19 virus.) Please see the screenshots below, from the Geng, et al., 2025 paper on structure and other “hallmarks” of the Sindbis virus [4]:

Note that the Sindbis virus has open reading frames (ORF), a structural hallmark that is also found in the COVID-19 virus. And, also from the Geng, et al., paper, the following:

In addition, the Sindbis virus has a C-terminal area, and an N-terminal area, also structurally similar in concept to the COVID-19 virus. In fact, the Sindbis virus is one of the “branch” members of coronaviruses from the family Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus (per the Wikipedia entry on Sindbis virus, above.)

The following screenshot is from the Fact Sheet on Sindbis Virus Fever from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) [5]:

A 1983 Sindbis virus scientific research paper by Dr. Baric discusses the function of host transcription in the replication of the virus within the host body [6]: again, a similarity to the transcription function of the COVID-19 virus once the virus is introduced into the host body.

In fact, the Sindbis virus, since it can be “safely handled” in BSL-2 laboratories, can be used as a “mixing agent coronavirus” in experiments to lab-create “virus-like particles” (VLPs) [7]. Please see the screenshot from the Results section of the paper by Ma, et al., regarding using Sindbis virus particles to lab-create a “mixture” of this virus with the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus to further “investigate” its entry into the ACE2 cells.

Speaking of laboratory safety, the question Yours Truly raises regarding the above paper is that the Sindbis virus was “mixed with” elements of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19 virus) in what appears to be less then BSL-4 laboratory conditions.

By the year 1984 (if not before), it is possible that Dr. Baric had appeared on the “radar” of Dr. Anthony Fauci, who in that year was named Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID; a division of the National Institutes of Health [NIH, itself a division of the Department of Health and Human Services [HHS]; Dr. Fauci had joined the NIAID in 1968, just after he had completed his medical Residency) [8].

To be continued in Part Two.

ALL COVID-19 “VACCINES” MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET AND FROM ALL USE IN THE UNITED STATES. NOW.

ALL COVID-19 “VACCINES” MUST BE REMOVED FROM ANY AND ALL “RECOMMENDED” IMMUNIZATION SCHEDULES: WHETHER THOSE SCHEDULES ARE PUBLISHED BY THE CDC, BY THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS, OR ANY OTHER ENTITY OR PERSON. NOW.

THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.

THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.

THERE. MUST. BE. TRUTH.

Health Friday 11.28.2025 Open Thread: Thanksgiving Season

The header image for today’s offering is courtesy of Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. There are Important Notifications by 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: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except perhaps for AI-generated content within linked URLs. If readers wish to post AI-generated content to today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Yours Truly is thankful that our gracious host, Wolf Moon, has established this blog to be a haven for truth; to be a place for honest discussion (and honest disagreement, too); to be a place for the sharing of life’s joys, and of life’s difficulties and sorrows; as a place for those who come to this Tree to encourage and support one another. One is grateful to be an author on this blog; grateful for all the other authors on this blog, including our gracious host; grateful for all who comment.

Yours Truly is grateful to those Pilgrims who came to Plymouth Rock, and to those earlier colonists who came to what is now the Commonwealth of Virginia (courtesy of our good Aubergine providing this latter knowledge), to establish a country based on freedom and on the Divine Providence of the Supreme Being: the country which became the United States of America. Yours Truly is grateful for her grandparents and great-grandparents who left their homes in England, Ireland, and Scotland, to come to the United States to make new lives for themselves, to marry, and to raise their children in this country.

———————————————————————-

And, on the concept of gratefulness: Yours Truly is also grateful for one particular thing: the successful completion of the difficult, time-consuming (seven months long), physician-supervised process of “tapering-down the dose, then weaning off, leading to discontinuation” of the SSRI prescription drug that she had been taking, on and off, for six years. (SSRI = Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor.)

Yours Truly was put on this SSRI in February 2019, after being diagnosed with PTSD (Post-Traumatic [or, Posttraumatic] Stress Disorder) following the death of my late husband. Please see the screenshot below, from Psychiatry.org/, “What is Posttraumatic Stress Disoder (PTSD)?”, reviewed by Donald Egan, M.D., March 2025 [1]:

In Yours Truly’s case, the PTSD was one of “delayed onset”, meaning that the symptoms began to appear months after my husband’s death.

Anti-depressant drugs are routinely prescribed by healthcare professionals for persons who are diagnosed with PTSD. Below is a screenshot from the Cleveland Clinic regarding SSRIs [2]:

Note the phrase above regarding SSRIs – that “they tend to cause fewer and milder side effects compared to other options.” Let’s look at the side effects lists for the SSRI that Yours Truly had been taking, paroxetine (Paxil), from Drugs.com/ [3]. Paroxetine is available in several different formulations — tablet; oral suspension; extended-release tablet; and, capsule. The Mayo Clinic list of paroxetine‘s brand names is: Brisdelle; Paxil; Paxil CR;, and, Pexeva [4].

How can any of the side effects listed above be called “fewer and milder”? Let’s take a look at only one of the side effects lists of paroxetine from Drugs.com/, from the For healthcare professionals section [5]:

The For healthcare professionals section lists of paroxetine side effects includes eighteen different areas, from General to Endocrine, that have adverse reactions and/or side effects from the use of this drug. Literally every organ or function of the human body is interfered with, and/or could be damaged by, paroxetine use. How can any of this be described as “fewer and milder” side effects?

Dr. Robert Malone, MD, penned a recent blog article, “Well Being: Selective Serotonin ReUptake Inhibitors (SSRI)”, regarding the routine prescribing of SSRIs by physicians [6]. Please see the screenshots, below, from his article:

A Midwestern Doctor, in their blog, has written extensively regarding the dangers of SSRIs; the multiple marketing and other ploys used to acclimate physicians to prescribing them, and patients to take them; and how difficult it is to follow the process of taper down the dose, wean off the drug, and have it finally discontinued. The following screenshots are from these articles: first, “The Dark Side of Antidepressants”, of 24 January 2025 [7]. Note: Some of the articles from A Midwestern Doctor are accessible in the entirety only if the reader subscribes (for free); and/or becomes a paying subscriber.

Then, from their article, “The Hidden Dangers of Antidepressants and Why They’re So Hard To Stop Taking”, [8] 9 February 2025:

And, from their article, “”Why Are Antidepressants So Harmful?”, [9] 26 November 2023:

Yours Truly was fortunate so have been able to get the taper down – wean off – discontinue process successfully completed (as regards stopping the taking of paroxetine) in about six months. However, the “wiring” of one’s brain to accept this SSRI and allow it to operate within the brain began in early 2019, when I was put on the drug by the PCP after diagnosis of PTSD. Thus, even with the discontinuation of the physical process of taking the drug, the “rewiring” of the brain back to pre-use of the drug is ongoing. One already feels much better since the “endemic physical effects” of the drug have ceased. One has also made a decision to never take another psychotropic drug.

What has helped Yours Truly to make real progress in “rewiring” the brain after the paroxetine discontinuation process was completed? A daily program that includes:

Probiotics (this includes yogurt)

Vitamin D, 2500IU

Vitamin C, 3000mg

Walking and free-weights exercise

Exposure to sunshine

Being well-hydrated

Cutting sugar, cutting simple carbohydrates, replacing them with complex carbohydrates, and using very little honey as a sweetener

Eating meat, eggs, and fish, rotating these during the week

Eating more green vegetables

Journaling — meditating — connecting with the Divine

Getting out and doing things — being with family; walking the dog; working in the yard

Reducing / eliminating stressors to the extent possible

Attitude — one is absolutely determined to “rewire” the brain back to pre-SSRI

———————————————————————-

Let’s take a look at serotonin, the crucially important element that the human gut makes — and which is the “target” of SSRIs. Below are screenshots from the 2022 Cleveland Clinic article, “What is serotonin?” [10]:

And, regarding the “gut-brain axis”, an article, “That gut feeling”, Dr. Siri Carpenter, [11] 1 September 2012, a screenshot from which is below:

Yours Truly does not fault the physician who started one on paroxetine in early 2019, nor the physician-therapist who continued the drug until I had had enough of the side effects by September 2024 and requested to go through the process to taper down — wean off — discontinue the drug. They were following conventional medical “recommendations.” However, Yours Truly, by the late summer of 2024, had also done enough research to understand that SSRIs are dangerous and addictive, that the decision to request going through the process was what had to be done. How many people taking SSRIs do the research necessary to understand what these drugs are doing to their bodies and their brains? Why don’t physicians who prescribe SSRIs (or, indeed, any psychotropic drug) caution the patient that there are multiple and potentially serious side effects and/or adverse reactions to these drugs? Why don’t physicians make it their business to ensure that, unless there is clear indication that the patient needs a higher dose, to start the patient on the lowest possible dose of an SSRI, and at the the first indication that the patient is having real trouble with side effects and/or adverse reactions, to begin the process of taper down — wean off — discontinue the drug; while, at the same time, ensuring that the patient starts or continues therapeutic counseling and healthy lifestyle changes? Similarly, why don’t physicians make it their business to ensure that, there is clear indication that the patient needs a higher dose of an SSRI drug, to start and keep the patient on the lowest possible dose?

The human gut is where over 90% of the body’s serotonin is produced. The human brain produces 10% or less of the body’s serotonin. Because of the “gut-brain axis” system in the body, serotonin produced in the gut “travels” to the brain via the bloodstream. Why aren’t physicians trained in the nutritional knowledge necessary to counsel patients with emotional/psychological issues to eat foods that would assist in proper and healthy serotonin production — foods such as, salmon, eggs, cheese, nuts, and turkey? Why don’t physicians realize that taking SSRI drugs actually block the normal “gut-brain axis travel” of serotonin to the brain — leaving the brain with only a small amount of serotonin; and which low level of serotonin is targeted by SSRI drugs? [12]

Yes, there are circumstances in which a physician makes the decision that the emotional/psychological issues of the patient warrant the need for that patient to take an SSRI. However, Yours Truly believes that, in addition to the SSRI, the patient needs to be counseled to eat foods that will help the gut produce healthy serotonin in proper amounts, to get out into the sunshine, to move their body, to get restful sleep, to have therapeutic psychological counseling if necessary; and, to understand that what they’re experiencing isn’t just “all in their head” — it’s also “that gut feeling.”

Health Friday 11.21.2025 Open Thread: The COVID-19 Information File, Part Three: Compendium

The above image (also the header image) of a vintage Rolodex in today’s offering is courtesy of Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the disaster of COVID-19, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have passed away from either the negative effects of a COVID-19 virus infection; or, from the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” that they had in their body.

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: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except perhaps for AI-generated images within linked URLs.

A story on The ROOT Protocols is here: https://imahealth.substack.com/cp/178752784, 12 November 2025.

News Items:

One:

The CDC has finally admitted that the agency’s blanket statement that “vaccines do not cause autism” is not backed up by science: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/bombshell-cdc-now-admits-science, “Bombshell: CDC Now Admits Science Lacking Behind Claim ‘Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism'”, 20 November 2025. The CDC revised statement is here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines-safety/about/autism.html#cdc_generic_section_1-vaccines-do-not-cause-autism, “Autism and Vaccines”, 19 November 2025. Please see the screenshot from the CDC statement, below:

Two:

Dr. Jessica Rose and Dr. Kevin McKernan have just finished a new project which reveals the truth behind the inclusion of N1-Methylpseudouridine, in both the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”; and, of the inclusion of a gene code piece from the African Green Monkey cancer promoter, SV40, in the Pfizer-BioNTech modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”: https://jessicar.substack.com/p/we-know-exactly-how-and-why-the-dna. “We now exactly how and why the DNA is in the Moderna and Pfizer vials”, 15 November 2025. Please see the screenshots from this article, below;

Three:

A new study, by Alain R. Thierry, et al., reveals that 100% of COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons have microclots in their blood; and, that COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons who present with symptoms of “Long COVID” also have microclots: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-study-anomalous-amyloid, “Breaking Study: Anomalous Amyloid Microclots Found in 100% of the COVID-19 Vaccinated”, Nicolas Hulscher, 17 November 2025. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:

The scientific paper referred to in the Hulscher article is here: https://doi.org/10.1002/jmv.70613, “Circulating Microclots Are Structurally Associated With Neutraphil Extracurricular Traps and Their Amounts Are Elevated in Long COVID Patients”, Alain R. Thierry, et al., 2 October 2025. Note the use of the word, “circulating.” This means that the microclots in the blood of the COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons are moving around inside the body. The Abstract from this paper is below:

The COVID-19 “vaccines” — all of them — if, for no other reason, must be immediately removed from use, from the market, and removed from any immunization schedule (especially the Immunization Schedules of the CDC), because of the evidence presented in the Thierry, et al., paper regarding circulating microclots in the blood of COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons, and in the blood of COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons who present with symptoms of “Long COVID.” There is no other acceptable option at this point.
