Health Friday is a series devoted to 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.

The Moderna “combination modRNA influenza + modRNA COVID-19 vaccine”, mRNA-1083, also called mCOMBRIAX, has just been approved for use in Europe. mRNA-1083 (mCOMBRIAX) is a combination of the Moderna modRNA multi-strain influenza “vaccine”, mRNA-1010, plus the company’s “other” modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”, mRNA-1283 (mNEXSPIKE.) Yours Truly has written about the mRNA-1010 component of this “combo vaccine” here: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/02/27/health-friday-2-27-2026-open-thread-modernas-mrna-1010-and-the-end-run-around-hhs-sec-kennedy-jr-part-one/; and, here: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/03/06/health-friday-3-6-2026-open-thread-modernas-mrna-1010-and-the-end-run-around-hhs-sec-kennedy-jr-part-two/.

And now, on to the mRNA-1283 (mNEXSPIKE) component of mRNA-1083. Today’s offering is Part One of two:

Moderna’s “other” modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”, mRNA-1283 (mNEXSPIKE), was approved for use in the United States on 30 May 2025. The FDA Approval Letter to Moderna is here: https://www.fda.gov/media/186740/download. The Approval Letter for mNEXSPIKE was signed by David C. Kaslow, MD, Director of the Office of Vaccines Research and Review (a subdivision of FDA’s CBER department [Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research]). Dr. Kaslow is a Biden-era “holdover” at the FDA; he has been with CBER since 11 October 2022.

It appears that Dr. Kaslow relied solely on the “data” that was given to the FDA by Moderna regarding the “safety and efficacy” of mRNA-1283, prior to that agency’s granting approval of the BLA (Biologics License Application) that Moderna submitted for the product. In addition, it appears that Dr. Kaslow believed that the “data” that Moderna supplied to the FDA was sufficient enough to warrant a bypass of the review process by the VRBPAC group of the FDA (Vaccines and Related Biological Products Committee.) Please see the screenshot from Dr. Kaslow’s Approval Letter to Moderna for mRNA-1283 (mNEXSPIKE), below:

By the way, on 20 May 2025, Dr. Martin Makary (FDA Commissioner) and Dr. Vinay Prasad (Director of the FDA’s CBER division) published an “opinion piece” in the New England Journal of Medicine that purported to be their “opinions” regarding a “new approach” to COVID-19 “vaccination” in the United States. However, this was not really an “opinion piece” — it was implemented as FDA policy. This article by Dr. Prasad and Dr. Makary was published just 10 days before Dr. Kaslow sent the Approval Letter to Moderna for mRNA-1283 (mNEXSPIKE.) Did Dr. Prasad and Dr. Makary know in advance that Dr. Kaslow was going to issue this Approval Letter? Did HHS Secretary Kennedy, Jr., know? The “opinion piece” is here: https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMsb2506929. “An Evidence-Based Approach to COVID-19 Vaccination.” Vinay Prasad, MD, MPH, and Martin Makary, MD, MPH. 20 May 2025. Below are two screenshots from this article: from the text; and, the Figure 2, which lists the “groups at severe risk from COVID-19.” The persons who would fall under one or more of the categories listed in Figure 2, even if these persons are under age 65, would “qualify” for “vaccination” with mNEXSPIKE:

The Package Insert for healthcare professionals for mRNA-1283 (mNEXSPIKE) is here: https://www.fda.gov/media/186738/download. Please see the screenshots of the following sections of this Package Insert, below: first, section 11 Description; then, section 12 Clinical Pharmacology, and section 13 Nonclinical Toxicology:

It would appear that Dr. Kaslow was comfortable in approving an injectable by Moderna (mRNA-1283, also called mNEXSPIKE) that contains the dangerous lipid nanoparticle SM-102; that contains at least PEG-related element (polyethylene glycol); and, that was not tested for carcinogenicity (the potential to cause cancer), for genotoxicity (the potential to damage genes, or to cause changes to genes, either of which can also cause cancer), or for impairment of male fertility.

It would also appear that Dr. Kaslow was comfortable with approving this modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” (mRNA-1283, also called mNEXSPIKE), which is purported to “prevent infection of COVID-19” — but, which claim has been proven to be wrong. From the FDA Package Insert for mNEXSPIKE:

The “prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)” statement is still being used by the FDA on COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” Package Inserts, despite the fact that Shrestha, et al., demonstrated in 2023 that “fully up-to-date vaccinated” Cleveland Clinic employees were more likely to become COVID-19 infected than those who were not “fully up-to-date” with COVID-19 “vaccination” (https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.06.09.23290893. “Risk of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Among Those Up-to-Date and Not Up-to-Date on COVID-19 Vaccination.” Nabin K. Shrestha, et al. 13 June 2023.) Please the screenshot from this paper, below:

Why aren’t the Moderna “original” modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”, mRNA-1273 (SPIKEVAX), and the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”, mRNA-1283 (mNEXSPIKE), the same? Please see the screenshot, below, from this article (https://www.drugs.com/medical-answers/what-difference-between-spikevax-mnexspike-3580787/, “What is the difference between SPIKEVAX and mNEXSPIKE?”, 2 September 2025:

However, regarding mNEXSPIKE, there apparently is a “blurred line” as to the use of it in persons under age 65 who do not have an “underlying medical condition.” Please see the screenshot below, from this article: https://health.mountsinai.org/blog/heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-covid-19-vaccines/, 23 September 2025; the advice is from Dr. Bernard Camins, MD, MSc, of Mount Sinai Hospital, in the “FAQ” section:

Note the language above, from Dr. Camins, regarding the ability of pharmacists to “prescribe vaccines off-label.”

Why is the N-terminal domain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus so important to Moderna that the company crafted a modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”, mNEXSPIKE, to utilize it? The N-terminal domain area is the “closest” (in terms of placement) to the receptor-binding domain (RCB) on the SARS-CoV-2 virus code. The N-terminal domain is also close to the S1/S2 cleavage site on the virus code. The receptor-binding domain is the part of the virus code that “makes sure” that the “payload” of the “vaccine” binds itself (enters into) the cells of the “vaccinated” person. These, in this writer’s opinion, make the N-terminal domain a “prime target” for the development of modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” that do not need to include the entire virus code, but still can “deliver the payload” through the receptor-binding domain mechanism. Please see: https://doi.org/10.3389/fcimb.2020.587269. “SARS-CoV-2: Structure, Biology, and Structure-Based Therapeutics Development.” Mei-Yue Wang, et al. 24 November 2020. Figure 1.) This is in contrast to the other modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” (by Moderna and by Pfizer-BioNTech) that contain the entire spike protein sequence (S1 and S2 areas.)

The issue regarding developing a modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” that only utilizes the N-terminal domain and the receptor-binding domain appears to have been determining exactly what “binding pocket” of the N-terminal domain would work. Scientists had been experimenting with the N-terminal domain to find such a “binding pocket”: for example, as described in this paper, from 2022: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.csbj.2022.11.004. “Structural and energetic analyses of SARS-CoV-2 N-terminal domain characterise sugar binding pockets and suggest putative impacts of variants on COVID-19 transmission.” Jonathan Lees, et al. 17 November 2022. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below; first, the Abstract; followed by the Graphical Abstract:

It appears that Moderna did find such an N-terminal “binding pocket” to use for the development of mNEXSPIKE. And, it appears that the company’s decision to “harness” the mechanism to the S1 area of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, as opposed to using the entire S1/S2 sequence, is due to the fact that the S1 area is that which appears to be the most “effective” in regards to the Delta and Omicron variants of the virus. Please refer to: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38034565. “SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S1 subunit induces potent neutralizing responses in mice and is effective against Delta and Omicron variants.” Tarlan Mamedov, et al. 14 November 2023. Please see the screenshot, below, of the Conclusion from this paper:

Note that Mamedov, et al., used a tobacco plant to produce the S1 protein from SARS-CoV-2, which they then tested against Delta and Omicron virus variants.

In this writer’s opinion, mRNA-1283 (mNEXSPIKE) cannot be thought of as “mRNA-1273 (SPIKEVAX) Lite.” mNEXSPIKE contains the S1 spike protein of an Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2. mNEXSPIKE contains the dangerous lipid nanoparticle, SM-102, that mRNA-1273 (SPIKEVAX) also contains. mNEXSPIKE contains N1-Methylpseudouridine (which will destroy the RNA of the “vaccinated” body’s natural Uridine, replacing it with a lab-created chemical compound that has no natural, beneficial mechanism for the body), which mRNA-1273 (SPIKEVAX) also contains. In this writer’s opinion, the only difference between mRNA-1273 (SPIKEVAX) and mNEXSPIKE is that the latter “vaccine” does not contain the S2 area of the spike protein.

To be continued in Part Two.

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 INTO THESE GENE-ALTERING THERAPY PLATFORMS AND PRODUCTS. THERE MUST, SECOND, BE IRREFUTABLE PROOF THAT THESE GENE-ALTERING THERAPY PLATFORMS AND PRODUCTS ARE TRULY “SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.”

Health Friday 3.6.2026 Open Thread: Moderna’s mRNA-1010 and the End Run Around HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr.: Part Two

The header image for today’s offering of an end run is courtesy of Grammarist and Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information regarding Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and other 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: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated content; to the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none. 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 Yours Truly’s opinion, it is very important that HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., gets the URL link to today’s post. Please help in this regard if possible. Thank you. https://x.com/SecKennedy; https://truthsocial.com/@seckennedy; https://www.instagram.com/seckennedy/.

Part One of the series is here: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/02/27/health-friday-2-27-2026-open-thread-modernas-mrna-1010-and-the-end-run-around-hhs-sec-kennedy-jr-part-one/.

Part Two of the series, today’s offering, discusses two very important areas related to mRNA-1010, Moderna’s modRNA-based influenza “vaccine”, the (amended) BLA (Biologics License Application) for which the FDA has agreed to review, after the agency first refused to file the original BLA. The first area is the Patent document for mRNA-1010. The second area is the involvement of Blackstone Life Sciences in funding mRNA-1010.

**** Preliminary item before the first discussion area; keep this in mind regarding anything related to mRNA-1010: The EMA (European Medicines Agency) has just approved the use of Moderna’s COMBO modRNA “vaccine”, mRNA-1083, for use in the European Union. mRNA-1083 is combination of Moderna’s modRNA “vaccine” of multiple influenza strains, mRNA-1010 — PLUS, Moderna’s modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, mRNA-1283 (mNEXSPIKE.) Please see: https://www.stocktitan.net/news/MRNA/european-medicines-agency-s-committee-for-medicinal-products-for-rod4htf7c1gd.html, “European Medicine Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use Adopts Positive Opinion Recommending Marketing Authorization of mCOMBRIAX, Moderna’s mRNA Combination Vaccine Against Influenza and COVID-19”, 26 February 2026. mRNA-1083, also called mCOMBRIAX, is the “end-product” that Moderna is pushing to have the FDA approve for use in the United States. The first step in this process was to get FDA approval for the mRNA-1283 component, mNEXSPIKE. which the agency did on 30 May 2025. The next step is for Moderna to get FDA approval for the mRNA-1010 component.

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

First discussion area of today’s offering: THE PATENT DOCUMENT FOR mRNA-1010:

The Patent document for mRNA-1010 is found here: https://patents.google.com/patent/EP4274607A1/en. Note that this Patent was filed under a European Patent listing. The Patent listing screenshot is below, followed by a screenshot of the Title and the Abstract:

Yours Truly will not go through the entire Patent document for mRNA-1010. However, the screenshots of sections of the Patent document, below, are important, as they show what, in this writer’s opinion, are decisions by Moderna to lab-create an mRNA-based influenza virus “vaccine” that has multiple strains of virus and lipid nanoparticles variations — only a few of which “vaccine” formula variations could have been fully tested and the test results analyzed, either in lab mice experiments or in human clinical trials, before March 2026.

The Patent document for mRNA-1010 is what Yours Truly calls a “kitchen-sink” document. It lists and describes multiple modRNA-based influenza strains that “may” be used in the formulations of the “vaccine.” It lists multiple possible formulations for the lipid nanoparticles that “may” be used the formulations for the “vaccine.” It lists the multiple combinations of amounts of the modRNA-based influenza strains antigens that “may” be used in the formulations of the “vaccine.” These multiple variations and formulations are called embodiments in the Patent document.

Example: It appears that up to EIGHT (or more) different modRNA-based strains of influenza viruses “may” be used:

Example: It appears that multiple variations of modRNA strains ratios (from HA antigens or from NA antigens) “may” be used in the EIGHT strain “version”, such as 2:2:2:2:1:1:1:1;, or, as 3:3:3:3:1:1:1:1. Among others:

Which is also described in the Claims section of the Patent document; see below:

Note: “HA” refers to hemagglutinin, an influenza virus surface protein, assists virus particles to “attach” to red blood cells; “NA” refers to neuraminidase, an influenza surface protein that assists in virus replication.

Example: It appears that multiple types of lipid nanoparticles “may” be used in the multiple types of “vaccine” formulations; such, SM-102 (an “ionizable lipid”, already used in SPIKEVAX and in mNEXSPIKE); DOPE; SDPC; PDG-DMG; plus, OTHER types of lipid nanoparticles that Moderna will create for use:

Note that various types of pseudouridines, including N1-Methylpseudouridine (also used in SPIKEVAX and in mNEXSPIKE) “may” be used in the “vaccines” formulated.

Example: It appears that Moderna will determine how many modRNA-based influenza strains will be used in the “vaccine.” Moderna will also determine how many types of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) will be used in the various “vaccine” formulations:

Note the language that TWELVE OR MORE influenza strains “may” be used in the “vaccine.”

**** Yours Truly will again stress that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has just approved the Moderna “combo-vaccine”, mRNA-1083 (mCOMBRIAX), for use in Europe. mRNA-1083 contains mRNA-1010, plus mRNA-1283 (mNEXSPIKE, Moderna’s other modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” [the other being its “SPIKEVAX” product].) Look again at the details from the Patent document for mRNA-1010, above. How can a “vaccine” like mRNA-1010 be approved for use anywhere, given that Moderna can choose anywhere from ONE to TWELVE different modRNA-based influenza strains, plus ONE or MORE types of lipid nanoparticles, along with combining these in MULTIPLE FORMULA VARIATIONS, to produce this injectable?

Further down in the Patent document, there is the section Table 5. Experimental Groups. It is in this section that there is detailed discussion of the lab mice experiments with all three of the Moderna “mRNA-10….-vaccines” group, which comprises mRNA-1010, mRNA-1020, and mRNA-1030. This section describes the various influenza strains combinations used in these experiments:

From the section Pharmaceutical Formulations, it appears that Moderna will be using what Yours Truly will call the “crapshoot method” for choosing the amounts of ingredients to be combined into mRNA-1010:

And, from the Titer subsection of the above, it appears that Moderna will also use the “crapshoot method” to estimate (guesstimate) the amount of titer in the blood of a person “vaccinated” with mRNA-1010:

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

What is a possible “underpinning” to the “multiple options” for Moderna’s mRNA-1010 formulation? Perhaps it is this 2023 article: “Rethinking next-generation vaccines for coronaviruses, influenzaviruses, and other respiratory viruses.” Jefferey K. Taubenberger, David M. Morens, Anthony S. Fauci. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9832587/. 11 January 2023. Please see the screenshots from this article, below. First, the Abstract:

Next, from the Introduction:

Finally, from the section Mucosal responses:

If Yours Truly read this paper correctly, the main idea appears to be the development and use of modRNA-based “vaccines” to be administered intranasally. Note also that Dr. Jeffery K. Taubenberger, one of the paper’s co-authors, is now the Acting Director of the NIAID; and, who holds the Patent for the “universal influenza vaccine” that he invented in 2020 while working at NIH.

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

Second discussion area of today’s offering: The involvement of Blackstone Life Sciences in the financial backing for mRNA-1010. Yours Truly begins here, with screenshots from the Moderna Earnings Call Transcript published by The Motley Fool on 13 February 2026 (https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2026/02/13/moderna-mrna-q4-2025-earnings-call-transcript/); first, the Date and Participants section; then, a portion of the Takeaways section; and, the Risks section:

Thanks to The Motley Fool for the above information.

Moderna has realized that their United States COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” market, and their modRNA-based influenza “vaccine” market, are shrinking. There were income losses for the company. Meanwhile, Moderna has multiple other injectable products “in the pipeline” for development and testing prior to submitting applications to the FDA for BLAs for these products. This, then, presents an issue regarding the funding of the company’s endeavors.

It appears that Moderna has found a solution to two of these issues — the situations with funding; and, with developing mRNA-1010 and with mRNA-1083 to get these products approved for use: the company obtained an “infusion” of up to $750 Million dollars from Blackstone Life Sciences in 2024: https://pharmaphorum.com/news/blackstone-bankrolls-modernas-flu-shot-750m, “Blackstone bankrolls Moderna’s flu shot for $750m”, Phil Taylor, 28 March 2024. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

Note closely the language in the article screenshot above related to Blackstone Life Sciences receiving future “rights and royalties payments” from Moderna for the sales and use of mRNA-1010 (the multi-strain and multi-LPN modRNA influenza “vaccine” being considered by the FDA for approval), and of mRNA-1083 (the combination modRNA “vaccine” of mRNA-1010 plus mRNA-1283 [mNEXSPIKE, modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”], which was just approved in Europe this month.)

What is Blackstone Life Sciences? It is a subsidiary of Blackstone, an international asset-management and acquisition company that currently has over $1Trillion dollars in managed assets: https://www.blackstone.com/the-firm/. Please see the screenshot from this website, below; “AUM” = Assets Under Management:

The Blackstone Life Sciences subsidiary was founded in 2005. The headquarters location is: 314 Main St., 15th Floor, Cambridge, MA, 02142. Please see the screenshot showing the Blackstone Life Sciences investment in Moderna on 15 March, 2024, below, per https://pitchbook.com/profiles/investor/11151-91#investments:

The above information, with thanks, is from the non-subscriber website page on Blackstone at Pitchbook.

Is it remotely possible that Moderna is under pressure to “make good” regarding the potential for rights and royalty payments to Blackstone Life Sciences for the sales and use of mRNA-1010 and of mRNA-1083? Is it remotely possible that this is what is behind the pushing by Moderna (which was ultimately successful) in the FDA’s sudden reversal of the Refusal to File letter for the BLA for mRNA-1010, and that agency’s subsequently agreeing to consider an “amended” BLA for this “vaccine”? Is it remotely possible that Moderna (and/or Blackstone Life Sciences) regard the huge potential of the United States market to be important in terms of “Return on Investment” — regardless of the potential for “vaccine”-induced damages from mRNA-1010 and/or mRNA-1083?

Is it remotely possible that the FDA — and Dr. Martin Makary, FDA Commissioner — do not realize that they are being used as pawns in a kind of “vaccine chess game” being played by Big Pharma and Big Investment entities? Has Dr. Makary read the Patent for mRNA-1010, or had it explained to him?

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

Health Friday 2.27.2026 Open Thread: Moderna’s mRNA-1010 and the End Run Around HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr.: Part One

The header image for today’s offering of an end run is courtesy of Grammarist and Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information 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: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated items; to the best of her knowledge and belief, there are none. If readers wish to post AI-generated items in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Today’s offering is Part One regarding the current situation with Moderna’s latest entry into the mRNA-based “vaccine” platform: the company’s influenza “vaccine”, mRNA-1010.

On 11 February 2026, Dr. Vinay Prasad, director the CBER division of the FDA (Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research) sent an RTF letter (Refusal to File letter) to Moderna in response to that company’s BLA application (BIologics License Application) review request for mRNA-1010, a modRNA-based “vaccine” against several strains of influenza. Dr. Prasad cited the lack of a true placebo control group in a study by Moderna using this “vaccine candidate.” Please see the screenshots, below, from https://pharmacally.com/fda-issues-refusal-to-file-letter-for-modernas-mrna-1010-flu-vaccine/, 11 February 2026:

However, by a few days later, the situation had changed completely: the FDA “reversed course”, agreeing to review Moderna’s BLA (amended) application for mRNA-1010.

By 18 February 2026, a “Type A” meeting had been arranged between the FDA and Moderna regarding the RTF letter. Moderna agreed to submit an “amended” BLA application to the FDA for mRNA-1010. The FDA accepted the amended BLA application. The FDA will make a final decision on approving mRNA-1010 by 5 August 2026. Please see the screenshot, below, from https://www.biospace.com/fda/fda-reverses-course-on-modernas-mrna-flu-shot-application-promising-august-decision, Heather McKenzie, 18 February 2026:

Note: A Type A meeting at the FDA is a “high-priority” meeting; sometimes, Type A meetings are called “milestone meetings.” Per https://facetlifesciences.com/ and https://seed.nih.gov/ searches.

Please see the screenshots, below, on this “volte-face” from https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/fda-reverses-course-will-now-review, “FDA Reverses Course, Will Now Review Moderna’s Controversial mRNA Flu Vaccine”, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, 20 February 2026:

Then, from https://www.biopharmadive.com/news/fda-reverses-course-review-moderna-approval-application-influenza-812432/, “FDA reverses course on Moderna’s flu vaccine”, Delilah Alvardo, 19 February 2026 (the quotation in the screenshot is from Mani Foroohar):

Note that last sentence, by Mr. Faroohar. It clarifies three “behind-the-scenes” aspects of mRNA-1010:

**** One: That Moderna will do whatever it takes to get mRNA-1010 approved — including being “more assertive” with the FDA, and arranging it so that the FDA will “work with” Moderna.

**** Two: That Moderna will do a “post-marketing study” on mRNA-1010 AFTER it is FDA-approved — meaning that ANYONE who takes mRNA-1010 AFTER the FDA approves it is being treated as a “human lab rat” by Moderna. This is the same type of situation that occurred when the FDA approved Moderna’s modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”, mRNA-1273.

**** Three: That Moderna considers the FDA approval of mRNA-1010 as the “stepping-stone” to what the company appears to believe is the “Holy Grail” of modRNA-based “vaccines” — the company’s “combo” modRNA-based influenza + modRNA-based COVID-19 “vaccine”, mRNA-1083 (the clinical trials for which have been completed)

There are, in addition, two other aspects to the situation: What appears to be pressure on Dr. Martin Makary, MD (FDA Commissioner) to “knuckle under” to what Moderna wants; and, what appears to be a coordinated campaign to have Dr. Vinay Prasad removed from his position as CBER division director at the FDA. In Yours Truly’s opinion, these relate to the “sudden arrangement” of the FDA “Type A” meeting between Moderna representatives and the FDA almost immediately after the Refusal to File was issued by Dr. Prasad. Please see the screenshots, below, from https://www.biospace.com/fda/makary-prasad-under-fire-as-fda-turmoil-reaches-president-trump, Heather McKenzie, 20 February 2026:

Peter Pitts, by the way, was an FDA employee whose position was that of a “senior communications and policy adviser” of the agency (https://www.centerforbiosimilars.com/authos/peter-pitts.) It appears that Mr. Pitts and CMPI are involved in a campaign to have Dr. Prasad removed from the FDA.

In Yours Truly’s opinion: Dr. Martin Makary is compromised, due to his involvement with BIO.org/, the group that is implementing a campaign to have HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., removed; and, Dr. Prasad is compromised, due to what appears to be lack of support within FDA, combined with innuendoes regarding his professional behavior at the agency.

In Yours Truly’s opinion, It appears that there is a combination of chaos, mistrust, internecine feuding, and active resistance going on within the FDA; plus, exterior pressure on the agency from companies and other entities to restore the FDA back to the “good old days”, when drugs and other biologics were authorized and approved in what may be called a kind of “rubber-stamp” process. It also appears that HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., is either being “kept out of the loop” regarding what is going on with the FDA; or, cannot, for whatever reason, root out personnel within the FDA who are fomenting trouble.

Yours Truly now turns to the Moderna-funded published paper on mRNA-1010, which was cited by Dr. Prasad as the reason for his issuing the Refusal to File letter to the company: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41541-025-01340-5. “mRNA-1010 influenza vaccine elicits distinct and enhanced humoral immunity compared to adjuvanted inactivated vaccines.” Paulina Kaplonek, et al. 15 December 2025. Moderna completely funded this study; all of the paper’s co-authors are either current or former Moderna employees; and, the current Moderna employees who are co-authors of the paper are also stockholders in the company. All of these in and of themselves, in Yours Truly’s opinion, represent massive conflicts of interest that should, under normal circumstances, disqualify the paper from any serious consideration by the FDA for a BLA application review. This is aside from the flaws in the clinical trial NCT05397223, on which the paper was based (more on this below in today’s offering.) Please see the screenshots from this paper, below:

Note the use of the word, “may.” This word is used in several areas of the paper, as in, “may elicit”; “may reflect”; and, “may induce.” In other words, Moderna does not KNOW if mRNA-1010 can actually be helpful against influenza. The company is guessing that it “may.” However, the company is still pursuing the BLA application with the FDA to get the “vaccine” approved — without having provided ANY proof that the “vaccine” actually does what it is “supposed” to do — which is, to prevent influenza infection better than the licensed influenza “vaccines” already on the market.

The following screenshots from the paper relate to how mRNA-1010 works, including: Figure 4B and Figure 4D, which show that the “vaccine” minimizes the crucial natural body’s activity of IgM cells (the “recognize an enemy and signal the other cells” immune cells); which show that there is an apparent increase of IgG4 cells (the “tolerate but never clear” cells); and, which appear to hint at mRNA-1010 being used as a kind of “universal influenza vaccine” candidate:

The blue image is the results of the “comparator influenza vaccine”, FLUAD; the red image is the results of mRNA-1010.

Then, from the section that discusses the results of Figure 4B and Figure 4D:

The Moderna paper co-authors did not prove that mRNA-1010 provides mucosal protection from influenza.

Following is a screenshot from the paper regarding the non-involvement of IgM cells induced by mRNA-1010:

Followed by the “hint” that mRNA-1010 may be used as a “universal influenza vaccine” candidate:

Finally, the Acknowledgements section, and the Ethics Declarations section, of the paper:

As shareholders in Moderna, the above employees (and co-authors of the paper on mRNA-1010) stand to make money off the sale and use of this “vaccine.”

**** Regarding the clinical trial which was the foundation for the Moderna paper that was published on 15 December 2025, NCT05397223, details of which are found here: https://clinicaltrials.org/study/NCT05397223. This clinical trial did NOT have a true saline placebo Control Group. Per the Clinical Trials website, there are TWO separate parts to the study. In Part One, study subjects received injections of: of mRNA-1345 (a modRNA-based “vaccine” against RSV); or, of mRNA-1647 (a modRNA-based “vaccine” against Cytomegalovirus);, or, of mRNA-1273 (the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”), all by Moderna. In Part Two, study subjects received injections of either: FLUAD (the “comparator” licensed inactivated influenza vaccine by Seqirus); or, of mRNA-1010. Please see the screenshot, below, from the Clinical Trials website for NCT05397223, the Secondary Outcomes Measures section:

However, there is not a single word in the Moderna-funded paper cited above in which the outcomes for ANY of the “vaccines” used on the study subjects other than FLUAD or mRNA-1010, are found. Nothing for mRNA-1345, for mRNA-1647, or for mRNA-1273. It is unknown if any of these three “vaccines” induced any interactions with either FLUAD or with mRNA-1010. There are “No Results Posted” on the Clinical Trials website for NCT05397223.

Moderna has been in the process of developing and testing mRNA-1010 for the past several years. The company applied pressure, which apparently went all the way up to the Oval Office, in order to force the FDA to reverse course and agree to review the (amended) BLA application for mRNA-1010, despite the flaws of the clinical trial NCT053972723, and despite the Refusal to File letter sent by Dr. Vinay Prasad.

To be continued in Part Two.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information on Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the negative effects and outcomes of the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines”, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered, and/or continue to suffer, injuries, illnesses, or disabilities induced by these “vaccines” that they took; and, to those who have passed away from the negative effects and outcomes induced by these “vaccines” that they took.

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: If there is AI-generated content in today’s offering, it will be labeled as such. If readers wish to post AI-generated content in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Today’s offering is Part Three of three. The previous two parts of this series are here: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/02/06/health-friday-2-6-2026-open-thread-pfizer-biontech-covid-19-modrna-vaccine-negative-effects-proven-ongoing-over-three-years-post-injection-part-one/; and, https://www.theqtree.com/2026/02/13/health-friday-2-13-2026-open-thread-pfizer-biontech-covid-19-modrna-vaccine-negative-effects-proven-ongoing-over-three-years-post-injection-part-two/.

The Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper that is the basis for this series is here: https://zenodo.org/records/18460099. “Unprecedented Persistence of Vaccine mRNA, Plasmid DNA, Spike Protein, and Genomic Dysregulation Over 3.5 Years Post-COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination.” Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, et al. 2 February 2026.

Today’s offering will discuss the findings of ongoing heart / cardiovascular damage induced by the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 modRNA “vaccine”, BNT162b2, in the patient described in the above-cited paper. Below, from the paper, are screenshots of sections that discuss the heart and cardiovascular damage that was found in the patient well after he took this “vaccine”:

The results of the patient’s home-administered cardiac readout tests:

As can be seen, the evidence of irregular heart rhythm are unmistakable. However, refer to the text above — the symptoms were apparently dismissed as “unlikely” for myocarditis / pericarditis, even though Emergency Room visit records when the patient presented there appear to show otherwise.

Continuing, from the paper:

Finally, a cardiac MRI was performed, which confirmed symptoms “consistent with COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis…”; see below, a reduced image from the paper:

The following are several scientific papers and articles. The first one is the 1992 paper by Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, of the results of his experiments to induce myocarditis and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) in rabbits that he injected with a rabbit coronavirus (https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/165/1/134/986090. “An Experimental Model for Myocarditis and Congestive Heart Failure after Rabbit Coronavirus Infection.” Ralph S. Baric, et al. January 1992.) Please see the screenshots from this paper, below. First, the general summary:

Followed by two portions from the Discussion section. “RbCV” = rabbit coronavirus.

Following is a look at Reference paper number 17, cited several times in the Baric, et al., paper above. Reference paper number 17 is found here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2042305/. “Rabbit cardiomyopathy associated with a virus antigenetically related to human coronavirus strain 229E.” Small, JD, Aurelian, L., Squire, R.A., et al. June 1979. The following screenshots are from this paper. First, the general summary:

Then, from the Discussion section:

Note the mention of human coronavirus 229E and its potential for “cross-reactivity” with other coronaviruses, including gastroenteritis in swine. Recall that Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, invented the “No See-m’s” method for “seamless assembly” of chimeric (lab-created) virus code pieces using the TGEV virus (swine transmissible gastroenteritis virus) model back in 2000 (https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jvi.74.22.10600-10611.2000. “A strategy for the assembly of large RNA and DNA genomes: the transmissible gastroenteritis virus model.” Ralph Baric, et al. 2000.)

Dr. Joseph Sansone, PhD, a psychotherapist in Florida, speaks to the COVID-19 modRNA “vaccines” causing heart disease, immune system conditions, and more, here: https://usawatchdog.com/world-ignoring-disaster-of-cv19-bioweapon-vax-dr-joe-sansone/, 8 February 2026. Dr. Sansone links to the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., article cited above in today’s offering. Please see the screenshot below, from this article:

There is an earlier article discussing heart damage — at the mitochondrial level — that is induced by the COVID-19 “vaccines”, at The Focal Points, here: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/spike-protein-exhausts-cardiomyocyte, “Spike Protein Exhausts Cardiomyocyte Mitochondria”, 8 September 2024. The paper referred to in this article is here: https://doi.org/10.3390/cells12060877. “Spike Protein Impairs Mitochondrial Function in Human Cardiomyocytes: Mechanisms Underlying Cardiac Injury in COVID-19.” Tin Van Huynh, et al. 11 March 2023.

Yours Truly believes that the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., February 2026 paper cited in today’s offering is of incalculable importance. This paper proves that these negative effects and outcomes in “vaccinated” persons can be found more than three years post-“vaccine” injection. This paper proves that an individual “vaccinated” person can present with numerous negative effects and outcomes induced by these “vaccines.” Yours Truly expresses deep appreciation of Dr. McCullough and his colleagues in working with this patient in the long and laborious testing that had to be performed in order to come to the correct diagnoses for the patient; and, from there, coming up with a treatment plan.

The Hulscher, McCullough, et al., February 2026 paper proves that there is risk of multiple types of negative effects and outcomes from having this “vaccine” in the body — damage that can be found years after the “vaccine” is injected into the body, and that can extend to the brain. This risk pool includes those who take the “latest version COMIRNATY COVID-19 vaccine”.

Yours Truly will make it clear that the patient in the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., February 2026 paper took three injections of BNT162b2: two in March 2021 (3 March and 24 March); and, the “booster” injection on 20 February 2022 — then did not take any further injections. The damage to his body and the accompanying associated emotional/psychological effects on him were traced back to these three injections over 3.5 years later. What about the millions upon millions of persons who took the BNT162b2 “primary series” of two injections back in 2021, then the original BNT162b2 “booster” injection in 2022, and then have taken injections of the BNT162b2 “descendant clone COVID-19 vaccines” (under the brand name, COMIRNATY), since the year 2022? What about the persons who have taken six injections so far of this Pfizer-BioNTech injectable — the “primary series” of two injections in 2021 + the “original booster injection” in 2022 + the 2023 “COMIRNATY booster” + the 2024 “COMIRNATY booster” + the 2025 “COMIRNATY booster”? If one person who took only three of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccine” injectables (the patient in the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper) and presents with multiple negative effects and outcomes over 3.5 years after stopping taking the injections — what about the millions of persons who have a total of at least six Pfizer-BioNTech (COMIRNATY) injections in their bodies as of now? If the potential for multiple negative effects and outcomes from the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 injectables can be found in a “vaccinated” person over three years post-final injection, what is the potential for “rolling accumulated negative effects and outcomes” from these injectables in a person who has taken these injections every year since early 2021?

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

The following is not medical advice. They are opinions:

Any person who has ever taken a COVID-19 “vaccine” injection — even if only one injection — of any type (modRNA, DNA viral vector, “protein subunit”, etc.) may be at risk for developing negative effects and/or outcomes induced by these “vaccines.” COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons may wish to consider having the following tests performed:

A lung scan, to investigate whether or not there are issues that can have been induced from these “vaccines”; such as, compromised alveoli or lung tissue inflammation.

A heart / cardiac scan, to investigate whether or not there are issues that can have been induced by these “vaccines”; such as, scarring of heart tissue or symptoms of preclinical myocarditis.

A D-dimer test performed, to investigate whether or not there are elevated levels of microclots in the blood, which can have been induced by these “vaccines.”

An IgG3 panel test and an IgG4 panel test performed, to investigate whether or not there are reduced levels of IgG3 cells (the “fight the enemy cells off” immune system cells), and/or elevated levels of IgG4 cells (the “tolerate but don’t fight off” immune system cells), both of which can have been induced by these “vaccines.”

Note: The above tests usually need to be ordered by a physician; or, by another licensed healthcare professional who is approved to order these types of tests.

Interested persons may wish to consider following a post-“vaccination” recovery treatment protocol, such as the one outlined here, from the Independent Medical Alliance: https://imahealth.org/protocol/i-recover-post-vaccine-treatment.

For those who are not COVID-19 “vaccinated”, there is the now-proven phenomenon of “vaccine shedding” from “vaccinated” persons onto other persons, including onto non-“vaccinated” persons. Please see: https://pierrekorymedicalmusings.com/p/newly-published-study-shows-shedding, “Newly Published Study Shows Shedding Of Covid mRNA Vaccine Products”, 9 December 2024.

Health Friday 2.13.2026 Open Thread: Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 modRNA “Vaccine” Negative Effects Proven Ongoing Over Three Years Post-Injection: Part Two

The header image of vintage 1955 Pfizer penicillin vaccine bottles is courtesy of Pond5 and Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information regarding Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the negative effects and outcomes of the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines”, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered, and/or continue to suffer, injuries, illnesses, or disabilities induced by these “vaccines” that they took; and, to those who have passed away from the negative effects and outcomes induced by these “vaccines” that they took.

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: If there is AI-generated content in today’s offering, it will be labeled as such. If readers wish to post AI-generated content in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Part One of this series on the ongoing negative effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 modRNA BIOWEAPON “vaccine”, BNT162b2, is here: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/02/06/health-friday-2-6-2026-open-thread-pfizer-biontech-covid-19-modrna-bioweapon-vaccine-negative-effects-proven-ongoing-over-three-years-post-injection-part-one/. Part One discusses one of the ongoing negative effects that this “vaccine” induces: a permanent skin condition called Grover’s Disease.

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

Today’s offering, Part Two, discusses the ongoing damage that BNT162b2 induces in the mitochondria of the “vaccinated” person’s body.

What are the mitochondria of the human body? These tiny organelles are present in every area and organ of the body. Mitochondria are the “power plants” of the body’s cells: they create energy to fuel the functions and lifecycle of each cell. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) describes what mitochondria are, and what they do, here: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/mitochondria-health, ” Mitochondria and health”, 22 July 2025. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:

Below is an image of mitochondria in the heart muscle of a rat. The mitochondria cells are brown. They have multiple “folded areas” within them, which increase the area for energy production.

Urbano, et al., has a very good article that explains how the mitochondria function, their importance to human health, and more, here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbadis.2025.167803, “Mitochondria: An overview of their origin, genome, architecture, and dynamics”. Ana M. Urbano, et al. 25 March 2025. Please see the screenshot, below, from this paper:

Walter Chesnut has several blog research articles on mitochondria and how they are adversely affected by the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus itself. One such article is here: https://wmcresearch.substack.com/p/mitochondrial-carpet-bombing-the, “Mitochondrial Carpet Bombing: The Endothelium is the Gateway through which the Spike Protein Devastates the Mitochondrial Landscape”, 9 October 2023. Please see the image from this article, below:

The above image is from the paper by Luca Perico, et al., regarding the spike protein and the endothelium: https://doi.org/j.tim.2023.06.004, “SARS-CoV-2 and the spike protein in endotheliopathy.” Luca Perico, et al. 12 June 2023.

Another article by Mr. Chesnut on the damage that the COVID-19 virus spike protein does to the mitochondria of the body: https://wmcresearch.substack.com/p/the-spike-protein-causes-to-the-exact, “THE SPIKE PROTEIN CAUSES TO THE EXACT SAME DAMAGE TO THE ENDOTHELIUM AS IF IT HAD BEEN IRRADIATED”, 7 March 2022. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

The Salk Institute article referred to above is here: https://www.salk.edu/news-release/the-novel-coronavirus-spike-protein-plays-additional-key-role-in-illness/, 30 April 2021. The paper is found here: https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.121.318902. “SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Impairs Endothelial Function via Downregulation of ACE2.” John Y-J. Shyy, et al. 31 March 2021. Note: Endothelial cells are tiny cells that line the inner surface of blood vessels. The mitochondria of endothelial cells work in “signalling” cellular responses among these cells.

It is obvious how important the mitochondria are to the proper functioning and life cycle of every cell in the human body.

Yours Truly turns again to the just-published paper by Hulscher, McCullough, et al., which was presented in Part One of this series. The paper is here: https://zenodo.org/records/18460099, “Unprecedented Persistence of Vaccine mRNA, Plasmid DNA, Spike Protein, and Genomic Dysregulation Over 3.5 Years Post-COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination.” Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, Wei Zhang, PhD, et al. 2 February 2026. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below, regarding damage to the “vaccinated” patient’s body in the discussion of genomic dysregulation symptoms that were found: this genomic dysregulation indicates that multiple areas of mitochondrial-level damage had been induced. First, the summary paragraph:

Then, the “persistent plasmid DNA fragments“: text from the paper; then, Fig. 5c-d from the paper:

Followed by, the “exosomal vaccine mRNA“: first, the text from the paper; then, Fig. 5b from the paper:

Note: “exosomal” refers to the exosomes, tiny cells in the body that serve as “carry it from one place to another” cells. Exosomes are found in many areas of the body, including in sweat, saliva, tears, in other types of body fluids; in cells on the surface of the skin; and so on.

And, the “long-lived spike protein“: first, the text from the paper; then, the Fig. 5a from the paper:

The descriptions and abbreviations key of the Fig. 5 from the paper:

Finally, Fig. 7 from the paper, an AI-generated image of the types of bodywide damage that was induced in the patient after he took the three injections of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 modRNA BIOWEAPON, BNT162b2. Please see the box “Genomic Dysregulation“:

Yours Truly wrote about the potential for the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus itself, and the potential for the COVID-19 modRNA BIOWEAPON “vaccines”, to damage and/or cause dysfunction of the mitochondrial cells of the “vaccinated” person’s body, here: https://www.theqtree.com/2023/10/28/the-covid-19-virus-and-the-modRNA-covid-19-vaccines-induce-accelerated-aging/. Note: some of the linked URLs in this post may not work any more; for example, the paper by Peter S Rabinovitch, “Mitochondrial oxidative stress in aging and health span”, May 2014, is now found here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24860467/.

Yours Truly will again emphasize that the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper, quantifies and proves that multiple negative effects and outcomes of the COVID-19 modRNA BIOWEAPON “vaccines” can be detected in a “vaccinated” person’s body for over 3.5 years post-injection SO FAR. One firmly believes that the negative effects and outcomes of these “vaccines” can, and likely will, continue to manifest for many years, if not the entire lifetime, in the “vaccinated” person. It is likely that, as in the case of the Grover’s Disease that the patient in the cited paper was diagnosed with, there can be negative effects and outcomes that are permanent, with therapeutic approaches that include symptoms control and/or lifestyle-dietary changes as the only options for treatment. The presence of “Long COVID” may also be a permanent aspect in “vaccinated” persons; also controllable, but never completely eradicated from the body.

Those who lab-created the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) BIOWEAPON virus itself worked for years to produce this virus. In a very real way, the word “virus” does not fully describe to this creation. Instead, it is a man-made, lab-created splicing together of bits and pieces of various animal coronaviruses, inventing something that would never have occurred naturally in the animal world.

Those who lab-created (and still are lab-creating) the COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines” — the modRNA versions, the DNA viral vector versions, and the “subunit protein” / “Inactivated” versions — use at least part of the Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) BIOWEAPON virus as the foundation for their injectables. This includes the “vaccine booster shots”, which use one or more Wuhan Hu1 “variants” as the foundation (Delta, Omicron, etc., all the way down through the “latest variant”, XFG.)

A chart of the “lineage” of the COVID-19 BIOWEAPON virus is here: https://www.cdc.gov/covid/php/variants/variants-and-genomic-surveillance.html. The source virus is the “Original Strain” at the far left of the chart image in this article. “Original Strain” = the Wuhan Hu1 original SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus. Below is a screenshot of this chart:

To date, over 70% of the population of the United States has taken at least one COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccine” injection. Millions of people in the United States have taken multiple injections of these “vaccines.” The Medical Tsunami of negative effects and outcomes induced by these “vaccines” is ongoing. Unless there are complete, detailed, and sophisticated testing performed, as was done for the patient in the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper cited in today’s offering — the “fingerprints” of the damage induced by these “vaccines” are very difficult to trace.

Will every person who ever took an injection of BNT162b2 (or any of its “descendant clone vaccines” — the “latest COVID-19 booster vaccine” injection) — suffer the bodywide negative effects and outcomes that the patient in the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper, suffer? This is impossible to foretell. However, the potential for multiple negative effects and outcomes in the body (and brain) of a “vaccinated” person has now been proven to exist.

To be continued in Part Three.

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

THERE MUST BE ACCOUNTABILITY, JUSTICE, AND TRUTH.

Health Friday 2.6.2026 Open Thread: Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 modRNA “Vaccine” Negative Effects Proven Ongoing Over Three Years Post-Injection: Part One

The vintage image of 1955 Pfizer penicillin vaccine bottles is courtesy of Pond5 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 to the negative effects of the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines”, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered, and/or continue to suffer, injuries, illnesses, or disabilities induced by these “vaccines” that they took; and, to those who have passed away from the negative effects induced by these “vaccines” that they took.

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: If there is AI-generated content in today’s offering, it will be labeled as such. If readers wish to post AI-generated content in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Today’s offering is a further discussion of what Yours Truly brought to the board earlier this week, regarding the just-published paper by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, Dr. Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, Wei Zhang, PhD, et al., which proves that the negative effects of the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccine” by Pfizer-BioNTech, BNT162b2, are detectable in the body of the “vaccinated” person over 3.5 years post-injection. It is impossible to overstate the profound importance of this paper.

The Focal Points story on the paper is here: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-vaccine-mrna-plasmid-dna, “BREAKING: Vaccine mRNA, Plasmid DNA, and Spike Protein Can Persist in Humans More Than 3.5 Years After COVID-19 Vaccination”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 2 February 2026. Mr. Hulscher is one of the co-authors of this paper. Please see the screenshots from this article, below, from the summary of the paper; from the Case Presentation; from the discussion section; and, from the Conclusion:

The paper, published on the Zenodo preprint server, is here: https://zenodo.org/records/18460099, “Unprecedented Persistence of Vaccine mRNA, Plasmid DNA, Spike Protein, and Genomic Dysregulation Over 3.5 Years Post-COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination”. Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, Vanessa Schmidt, PhD, Michael Morz, MD, Claire Rogers, PA-C, Natalia von Ranke, PhD, Wei Zhang, PhD, John A. Catanzano ND, PhD, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH. 2 February 2026. Yours Truly urges interested readers to download or otherwise archive this paper — it is a prime target to be Retracted / Removed / Withdrawn, due to pressure on the publisher by Pfizer-BioNTech (PfizerUSA) and/or other Big Pharma or Big Government entities.

The 55-year-old male patient subject of the paper had taken the “primary series” of two injections (spaced out) of BNT162b2 in March 2021. By May 2021, he was starting to present with bodywide “vaccine”-induced symptoms; in October 2021, he presented at the Emergency Room with more serious symptoms. Per the paper, “Testing was limited”, and the symptoms were dismissed as due to “anxiety.” The next month, November 2021, the patient was back in the ER with much more serious cardiovascular symptoms, which required hospitalization.

The patient then took the BNT162b2 COVID-19 “original booster shot” in February 2022. It was shortly after this that his symptoms increased and became “widespread.” The patient had also developed severe anxiety. However, his symptoms were again attributed to the anxiety. It was not until April 2024, after a cardiac MRI was performed, that the patient was diagnosed with COVID-19 “vaccine”-compatible-induced myocarditis.

Yours Truly includes below a screenshot of the discussion in the cited paper of the severe anxiety that was induced by the negative effects of the BNT162b2 injections that the patient took. In Yours Truly’s opinion, this confirms what she has been writing on the board here for some time: that the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines”, in addition to inducing bodywide negative physical outcomes, ALSO induce negative emotional/psychological outcomes. This is because the “vaccines” cross the Blood-Brain Barrier and attack the areas of the brain that regulate mood and emotional response (the pineal gland and the pituitary gland.) This is IN ADDITION to the fact that the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines” DESTROY the natural RNA of the Uridine produced in the body (which assists in mood and emotions regulation, learning, and memory), replacing the natural RNA with the lab-created compound N1-Methylpseudouridine. Please see the screenshot, below:

Further information regarding how the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines” negatively affect cognitive and emotional / psychological health is here: https://www.theqtree.com/2024/10/18/health-friday-10-18-2024-special-edition-neurological-effects-of-the-covid-19vaccines-physical-and-psychological/.

Yours Truly will focus on three BNT162b2-induced conditions that the patient was diagnosed with: Grover’s disease; mitochondrial damage; and, blood and cardiovascular damage. Today’s offering, Part One, will discuss Grover’s disease.

Grover’s disease (also called Grover’s Disease, Grover disease, or GD):

Please see the screenshot, below, from https://www.pcds.org.uk/clinical-guidance/grovers-disease-syn-transient-acantholytic-dermatosis1, “Grover’s disease (syn. transient acantholytic dermatosis”, The Primary Care Dermatology Society (UK; copyright 1994-2026):

Grover’s disease is a permanent condition. The symptoms can be controlled or managed; however, the eruptions will continue and can increase. Zabewski, Jr., et al., have described this situation, here: https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1124347-treatment, “Transient Acantholytic Dermatosis (Grover Disease) Treatment & Management”. Edward J. Zabewski, Jr., DO, MBA, et al. Updated 25 November 2024. Please see the screenshot of this article, below:

What causes Grover’s Disease? Yale Medicine (https://www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/grovers-disease) has this to say:

**** However, there is another viewpoint regarding what may cause, or at least be involved in, Grover’s Disease: dysfunction of the IgA and IgG immune system cells of the patient’s body. Phillips, et al. describes this issue, here: https://doi.org/10.1111/exd.12266, “Is Grover’s disease an autoimmune dermatosis?”, Courtney Phillips, et al. 22 December 2013. Please the screenshots of the Abstract and of the Figure 1. from this paper, below:

Yours Truly has written extensively regarding the damage that the COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines” do to the IgG3 immune cells of the body (and to other types of Ig immune system cells of the body) on this board. Another source of information on this issue is here, from Dr. Jessica Rose, PhD: https://jessicar.substack.com/p/igg4-antibodies-induced-by-repeated, ” “IgG4 Antibodies Induced by Repeated Vaccination May Generate Immune Tolerance to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein” “, 30 May 2023.

In Yours Truly’s opinion, at least part of the situation regarding Grover’s disease as a negative outcome from modRNA COVID-19 “vaccination” is that these injectables “imprint” on the body’s natural immune system — and, in multiple negative ways. Please see: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/immense-covid-19-vaccine-antigenic, “Immense COVID-19 ‘Vaccine’ Antigenic Sin Research Library Published”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 13 January 2025. The paper referred to in the Hulscher article is here: https://zenodo.org/records/14632346 “COVID “vaccines” immune imprinting library.” Erik Sass, et al. 11 January 2025. Please see the screenshot from the opening statement of this paper, below:

Recall that the “original Wuhan strain” of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus itself is based on the SARS-CoV-2 virus “template” that was created by Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, in his laboratory at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. It was Dr. Baric who invented the concept of Synthetic Genomics — the lab-creation of chimeric viruses spliced together from pieces of gene codes from other viruses (https://www.jcvi.org/sites/default/files/assets/projects/synthetic-genomics-options-for-governance/Baric-Synthetic-Viral-Genomics.pdf. 2006.) It was Dr. Baric who invented the “seamless assembly” process of these virus code pieces — a process that he named, “No See-‘ms” (https://journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10.1128/jvi.74.22.10600-10611.2000, “Strategy for Systemic Assembly of Large RNA and DNA Genomes: Transmissible Gastroenteritis Virus Model.” Ralph Baric, et al. 15 November 2000. It was Dr. Baric who obtained a Patent for this process of lab-creating viruses (https://patents.google.com/patent/US7279327B2/ru, “Methods for producing recombinant coronavirus.” Ralph Baric, et al. Published 9 October 2007.) Please see https://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/ for further information.

**** Grover’s disease can be caused by COVID-19 virus infection. Grover’s disease can ALSO be caused by an autoimmune reaction induced by the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines.” The paper which describes this is here: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00292-022-01126-9, “Dermapathology of COVID-19 infection and vaccination”, Fernandez-Figueras, MT. Journal Die Pathologie. 5 October 2022. (The article is partly in German, and partly in English.) Please see the screenshots (in English) from this paper, below: the Abstract; part of the section Cutaneous Side Effects; and, from the section Practical Conclusion:

Yours Truly will be “plain-spoken” regarding the following:

Look at the “layers” of illness, treatment pathways, and lifelong consequences of just ONE of the multitude of negative effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccine”, BNT162b2 — Grover’s disease. Look at the multitude of negative side effects that this injectable induced in ONE person — the patient described in the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper discussed above in today’s offering. Multiply this potential for numerous negative side effects in ONE person by the billions of persons who took BNT162b2 (or any of its “booster shots.”) What results is incalculable potential damage to billions of human bodies and brains.

**** It also needs to be emphasized that the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper discussed above in today’s offering describes the numerous negative side effects and other issues induced by BNT162b2 in ONE patient that cover ONLY the approximately 3.5 years after the patient took three doses of this “vaccine.” To this date, no one knows EXACTLY how long the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines” will induce serious/negative side effects in the body and/or the brain of the “vaccinated” person; the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper proves that these negative side effects are detectable for as long as 3.5 years post-injection SO FAR.

What IS known is that these “vaccines” WILL change the DNA of the LINE1 human liver cell line; what IS known is that “vaccines” WILL destroy the RNA of the natural Uridine of the “vaccinated” person’s body, replacing it with a lab-created compound that has NO benefit (N1-Methylpseudouridine); what IS known is that these “vaccines” cross the Blood-Brain Barrier and attack cognitive and emotional centers of the brain; what IS known is that these “vaccines” contain the SV40 African Green Monkey cancer promoter-enhancer gene code piece. What IS known is that the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccine” also contains N1-Methylpseudouridine and the SV40 cancer promoter-enhancer gene code piece.

In Yours Truly’s opinion, based on her now-six years of combined researching and writing about the COVID-19 disaster — that ANY person or entity who is still “recommending”, let alone “mandating”, that people take ANY of the COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines” is complicit in the damage to humankind that these injectables induce. THERE IS NO BENEFIT FROM TAKING THE COVID-19 “VACCINES” — ANY OF THEM— THERE IS ONLY INCALCULABLE AND LIFELONG RISK, IN ADDITION TO THE POTENTIAL FOR INCALCULABLE SUFFERING OF THE HUMAN BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT THAT THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF THESE “VACCINES” INDUCE.

To be continued in Part Two.

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

THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.

THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.

THERE. MUST. BE. TRUTH.

Health Friday 1.30.2026 Open Thread: Winter Storms Edition

The free header image of an ice-covered tree for today’s offering is courtesy of Unsplash and Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about 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.

Today’s offering is the Winter Storms Edition.

Winter Storm Fern came to Central North Carolina last Saturday night, bringing high wind gusts, some snow, lots of sleet, freezing rain, and ice. Nighttime temperatures plunged to the single digits, causing a hard freeze situation for the roads, the trees, and other things that were already coated with sleet and/or ice during the daytime hours.

Last Friday, when the final track of Winter Storm Fern was being clarified, Yours Truly began to make plans in case the incoming storm could turn into something that no forecaster would have been able to predict, such as, a deep-snow event; or, an ice event; or, both. Local family was contacted and initial plans were made in case Yours Truly and her small dog needed to evacuate her home and come stay with them. I hung an extra set of curtains on the windows of my house to keep more heat inside. I got in supplies of bottled water and food. I made sure the laundry was done. I made sure I had my heavy boots ready, lots of warm clothing on hand, the dog’s “sweater” and “outdoors coat” ready. I paid some upcoming bills in advance. I made sure the battery-operated lamps and radio were ready. And more. Then, it was time for getting the fireplace ready for use, in case the power went out. I thought I had the situation under control.

However, on Saturday afternoon, when I started the small “test fire” in the fireplace, there was a problem: some kind of residue had coated the damper, sticking it almost shut even though the damper was left open by the chimney sweep who cleaned the fireplace (this was last year.) The “test fire” was not a success. Yours Truly contacted family and told them that I and my dog would be coming to stay with them for the duration of the incoming storm. By this time, it was 2PM on Saturday afternoon. Fern was due to arrive in Central North Carolina by 6PM. Local media were warning drivers to be off the roads by 7PM. Yours Truly had to pack up herself and her dog, get the house ready to ride out the storm, load the car, and get to Chapel Hill by 6PM at the latest.

And this is where “the rubber met the road”, so to speak, regarding what to pack and how quickly I could get that done, “bed down” my house, and load the car — all before 5PM. I could only take one (two, maximum) small pieces of luggage for me — a small rolling suitcase, and a small overnight bag that has a “trolley sleeve” which fits over the rolling suitcase pull handle. My dog had what he needed in his “everything box”, which is always ready. What I had to do was to decide (quickly) what would be the most important items that I might need for several days away from my house — clothing; personal care items; laptop, charging cords for the laptop and my phone; a week’s worth of vitamins and supplements, and so on. What about packing a book? No — I would have to use the books I’d downloaded on my phone. Battery-operated small radio? — Yes; and extra batteries. What about property insurance information? — contact numbers and policy numbers were on my phone. Have some “argent” in case using a credit card wouldn’t be possible? — Oui.

What to keep in the car, “just in case”? Jumper cables? Yes. Bottled water? Yes. Blankets? Yes. Extra gloves? Yes. Flashlight? Yes — and extra batteries. Shovel? Yes. Ice scraper / broom? Yes. Gas tank filled? Yes. Tires OK? Yes.

What about family mementos that I couldn’t bear to lose — such as, my mother’s engagement ring? Wear it. Some precious family photos? Tuck them into one of the two travel bags.

Then, the house had to be “bedded down.” Make sure that small appliances, the printer, the lamps, and so on, were unplugged. Make sure that water was doing a slow drip in the kitchen sink with the undersink cabinet doors left open. And more.

I managed to get all these things done, and the car loaded, by 5PM for the drive to Chapel Hill. By this time, I was also dealing with my Yorkie, who was registering “Mom, something’s going on that isn’t normal” at 15 on a scale of 1 – 10. Thankfully, we made it to our destination and got settled in just before the first waves of Fern arrived.

This experience taught me some things, among them: First, what I thought I had under control can change on a dime; second, the importance of making lists of what to do and what to pack if there’s any chance that one would need to evacuate the home before this becomes a necessity; third, the importance of having the fireplace cleaned and serviced every year, and making sure that any fireplace work / repairs are performed promptly; fourth, to know where to go in the event of an evacuation — and to get that knowledge in advance of the event; and, fifth, in case that “Plan A” doesn’t work, to have a “Plan B”, a “Plan C”, and even what might be called a “Plan FUBAR“, ready.

Yesterday, Yours Truly and her small canine friend packed up at our hosts’ house, loaded the car, and drove back to Chez Yours Truly. Fern had exited Central North Carolina on Sunday night, leaving a deluge of heavy sleet and ice just before she left. It wasn’t until Tuesday that the main roads were really passable; it wasn’t until Wednesday morning that the remote side roads were getting plowed and treated. The daytime temperatures on these days were just warm enough, and there was just enough sunshine, to help out. However, Yours Truly drove back to my house as if I were driving after a winter storm in Pittsburgh (where I grew up), taking a more circuitous route to stay on as much of the main roads as possible. Thankfully, Chez Yours Truly rode out Fern in good shape. There were no major power outages in the area. The sun had melted much of the sleet and ice off the driveway.

There is another large winter storm on its way to the East Coast of the United States, to arrive this weekend. This new storm is being a “Bomb Cyclone” by the National Weather Service (https://weather.com/.) For Central North Carolina, it appears — so far, per the NWS — that the major impact will be sustained winds of 20MPH, with some snow in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill areas. However, AccuWeather (https://www.accuweather.com/) has a different story — with snow starting as early as Friday afternoon, rapidly deteriorating conditions, and wind gusts of over 40MPH by Saturday afternoon for the entire area. Today (Thursday 29 January), local residents have been outside, trimming or cutting down trees on their properties in preparation for this new storm. Local media are calling for the possibility of snowfall amounts of 8 inches or more, and “blizzard-like” conditions. It may be that “the truth is somewhere in the middle” on this one.

Readers are invited to add their experiences with winter storms (or, indeed, with any type of storm.) What was done to prepare for a potential evacuation? What was done to ensure that the house would ride the storm out in good shape? What was done to keep self, family, and pets safe and calm?

And now, a recipe for a “winter tea” to help with hydration (very important in the winter; cold, dry air, heat from furnaces, and so on, can lead to dehydration without one knowing it); and, to help maintain blood sodium levels:

Ingredients:

A favorite herbal or decaffeinated tea, either tea bag or loose tea (caffeine can contribute to dehydration)

Honey

Lemon juice

A few grains of salt

(Optional, for those adults so inclined: 1 teaspoon of hard liquor)

Boil water to make one cup of tea, add the tea bag (or loose tea in a teaball) and let steep for a few minutes. Remove the tea bag or the teaball. Add the honey (2 teaspoons), the lemon juice (a splash), and the salt. (Add the optional hard liquor.) Stir all gently. Serve at once. Makes one cup of tea. Enjoy!

Health Friday 1.23.2026 Open Thread: The Baric Files, Part Six: Ralph Baric, PhD, The Master Designer of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus; Recent Efforts and News Items

The free vintage header image of an architectural drawing is courtesy of iStock 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 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.

The previous posts of The Baric Files are here: Part One: https://www.theqtree.com/2025/12/05/health-friday-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-one/; Part Two: https://www.theqtree.com/2025/12/12/health-friday-12-12-2025-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-two-of-mice-rabbits-and-ai-23946/; Part Three: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/01/02/health-friday-1-2-2026-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-three-patents-dr-anthony-fauci/; Part Four: 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/; Part Five: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/01/16/health-friday-1-16-2026-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-five-united-states-department-of-defense-now-department-of-war-18-u-s-c-2339-18-u-s-c-1001-and-15-u-s-c-1-3/.

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 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.

THERE. MUST. BE. TRUTH.

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.

However, Dr. Baric was also working on something else before the November 2015 paper: what appears to be the “Template Patent” for the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

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.

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

THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.

THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.

THERE. MUST. BE. TRUTH.
