Dismantle Them. Salt the Ground. Start All Over Again. Do It Right Next Time: Part Two

Part One is here: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/09/18/health-friday-9-18-2026-open-thread-dismantle-them-salt-the-ground-start-all-over-again-do-it-right-next-time-part-one/.

The focus of today’s offering regards the continuing issues and situations with respect to: One: non-modRNA-based “vaccines”; Two: the “revolving door” between the FDA and Big Pharma / Big Donors; and, Three: medical lobbyists and Establishment Medicine organizations keeping the “vaccine religion” going. What follows are what may be called “snapshots” of each area.

One: non-modRNA-based vaccines: Please see: https://kirschsubstack.com/p/a-list-of-evidence-consistent-with, “A list of evidence consistent with the hypothesis that “vaccines cause autism””, 12 September 2026. There are 30 items on the list. Two examples from the list: Number 17: “Aluminum concentration in the brains of autistic kids are among the highest measured (Exley 2017 study.) The title of the Exley, et al. paper: “Aluminum in brain tissue in autism”, Christopher Exley, et al.; Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, Volume 46, March 2018, Pages 76 – 82; and, Number 31: “Vaccines cause autism in baby monkeys. What is different about people that it wouldn’t also cause autism in people?” Please see the screenshot from the Kirsch article regarding Number 31, below:

The paper referenced above is found here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/45185677_Influence_of_pediatric_vaccines_on_amygdala_growth_and_opioid_ligand_binding_in_rhesus_macaque_infants_A_pilot_study, BJ Lopresti, et al.; 30 June 2010 (the title of the paper is the same as the URL). A screenshot of the Conclusions section of this paper is below:

Granted, the study concerned the effects on infant macaque monkeys. However, the vaccines used were ones approved for human use. In Yours Truly’s opinion, even if thimerosal (mercury compound) were completely removed from all vaccines, there possibility still remains that negative effects could occur due to the other ingredients.

Two: the “revolving door” between NIH / NIAID: Here is a prime example of this “revolving door”: Mark Raza, the former chief counsel for the FDA, and who had just left that agency — was immediately hired by a very large Big Pharma-connected law firm. Please see: https://aaronsiri.substack.com/p/the-revolving-door-the-media-wont, “The Revolving Door the Media Won’t Expose”, 15 September 2026. Also, please see:

And, here is the story from the law firm: https://www.mondaq.com/pressrelease/208152/hogan-lovells-cadwalader-welcomes-former-fda-chief-counsel-mark-raza-to-expanding-pharmaceuticals-and-biotechnology-practice, 9 September 2026 (the article title is the same as the URL.) Please a screenshot from this article, below:

Note the mention of hiring numerous other FDA former employees, in addition to now having Mr. Raza on their roster.

But wait, there’s more! Please see: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/the-fda-is-a-criminal-cia-handled, “THE FDA IS A CRIMINAL CIA-HANDLED “HEALTH” AGENCY: Former FDA Chief Counsel Now Hired By Major BigPharma Law Firm”, 13 September 2026. In this article, there is a list of former FDA employees who now work for Big Pharma (or are connected with Big Pharma.) Examples from this list: Dr. Peter Marks, MD (former CBER director, FDA) —> now working for Big Pharma company, Eli Lilly; Mark McClellan (former FDA employee tasked with regulating Johnson & Johnson) —> now a board member of Johnson & Johnson; Dr. Scott Gottlieb, MD (former FDA commissioner in charge of regulating PfizerUSA) —> now on the board of directors for PfizerUSA; Dr. Stephen Hahn, MD (former FDA commissioner in charge of regulating Moderna) —> now Chief Medical Officer of Flagship Pioneering, the venture capital firm that bankrolls Moderna drug and “vaccine” development.

Three: medical lobbying and Establishment Medicine keeping the “vaccine religion” going: First, regarding medical lobbying: Pharmaceutical companies and Establishment Medicine (the American Medical Association [AMA]; the American Academy of Pediatrics {AAP]; and other similar medical professional organizations) have a “vested interest” in wielding influence in both chambers of the US federal government. Contributing to political campaigns for members of the House and the Senate can, so to speak, produce results that benefit these companies and professional medical organizations. For example, this 2023 article, from the AMA: https://www.ama-assn.org/about/leadership/how-does-ama-influence-public-policy, 22 August 2023. Which leads to this, from June 2026: https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/ama-adocacy-impact-report.pdf. Please see the screenshots from this latter link, below. Note especially the claim in the first screenshot about how 73% of Americans “trust the AMA more than the CDC on vaccines”:

Followed by a screenshot, from the same link above, regarding the AMA’s political action committee, AMPAC:

AstraZeneca, another Big Pharma company (maker of FLUMIST©, SEROQUEL©, NEXIUM©, and many other drugs) also has a lobbying department: https://www.astrazeneca-us.com/sustainability/political-contributions. Click on “Federal & State Lobbying” down the main page. Yours Truly then clicked on the company’s lobbying report for the 4th quarter of 2025: https://www.astrazeneca-us.com/content/dam/az-us/Documents/PoliticalContributions/2026/AstraZeneca-LD2-Q4-filed.pdf, filed on 20 January 2026. The total for this lobbying division for the 4th quarter of 2025 was $670,000. Please see the screenshot, below, from this latter link:

Finally, regarding the ongoing, aggressive efforts by Establishment Medicine to “keep the “vaccine” train going”: Please see: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/why-do-pediatricians-blast-babies, “Why Do Pediatricians Blast Babies with Multiple Vaccines on Same Visit?”, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, 12 September 2026. There is a video interview with Dr. McCullough, along with a text summary.

The “vaccines” that are currently “recommended” for children from age 0 (birth) to through age 4 years:

Age 0 (birth): HepB

Age 2 months: DTap; IPV (polio); Hib; HepB; PCV (pneumococcal); Rotavirus

Age 6 months: DTap; IPV; HepB; PCV; Rotavirus; COVID-19

Age 12-15 months: MMR; Varicella (chickenpox); Hib booster; PCV booster; HepA; Influenza

Age 15-18 months: DTap booster; Influenza

Age 18-23 months: HepA 2nd dose; Influenza

Age 4 years: DTap booster; IPV booster; MMR booster; Varicella booster; Influenza

How can the still-forming and still-immature immune system of a child from birth until about age 7 years handle all of these antigens, especially if multiple injections of “vaccines” are administered in one healthcare visit?

There are incentives for healthcare professionals to administer the HPV “vaccine”: https://www.hpviq.org/incentives/types-of-incentives. And, consider this, a paper from 2021: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/360815265_Vaccine_Practice_Payment_Schedules_Create_Perverse_Incentives_for_Unnecessary_Medical_Procedures_-_at_What_Cost_to_Patients, James Lyons-Weiler, Paul Thomas, March 2021 (the title of the paper is the same as the URL). Please see the screenshot of the Abstract of the paper, below:

It is Yours Truly’s opinion that people must educate themselves regarding: the medicines that they take; the “vaccines” that are “recommended” for themselves and their children; the ongoing efforts to gaslight the general public by Big Pharma and Establishment Medicine; the lobbying of local, state, and federal elected officials by Big Pharma; and, the current state of affairs at the FDA / CDC.

Dismantle Them. Salt The Ground. Start All Over Again. Do It Right Next Time: Part One.

This is about completely dismantling the CDC, the FDA, NIH, and NIAID; and rebuilding them following a new format: that of actually serving the health of the American public. Up until 4 August 2026, this “edifice” named above had evolved into a funds-funneling vehicle for dangerous Gain-of-Function experiments in laboratories ranging from: Dr. Ralph Baric’s lab at UNC Chapel Hill (development of the SARS-CoV-2 “template” virus); to Dr. Zheng-li Shi’s laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (where the SARS-CoV-2 “template virus” was being “enhanced” prior to its being released in late fall 2019); to Dr. Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance (Gain-of-Function experiments funding via “grants” from NIH / NIAID); to NIAID and Moderna entering into an agreement (in 2015) to co-develop, co-own the Patents for, and share in the royalty payments for the use of, mRNA-1273 (SPIKEVAX), and of mRNA-1345 (mRESVIA.)

What does dismantling this “edifice” involve? Among many other aspects, in Yours Truly’s opinion: firing all current employees; stopping the funding applications for new research projects; stopping all current funding in place for approved research projects; cutting all ties to, and involvement with, pharmaceutical companies regarding development and manufacture of drugs and injectables; and, RESCINDING the agreement signed between the United States Department of Defense and NIH / NIAID. This agreement was signed between the United States Department of War (signature by Dr. Robert Kadlec, MD, as representative, on 4 August 2026), and the NIH / NIAID (signature by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, director of NIH, on 5 August 2026), that ceded future development of injectable medicines (including influenza and COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”), in addition to other drugs, from NIH / NIAID to the Department of War; and, in addition, with NIH / NIAID providing “data and information”, along with to up to $2 Billion dollars in funding. (https://www.theqtree.com/2026/09/11/health-friday-9-11-2026-open-thread-25th-anniversary-of-9-11-nih-and-the-department-of-war-just-signed-a-new-agreement/.)

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

The focus of today’s offering is the now-proven fact that the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” (gene therapy injections) can cause cancer in “vaccinated” persons via THREE OF THE INGREDIENTS IN THESE “VACCINES.” Note: the appelation “lipid nanoparticle(s)” and the acronym “LNP(s)” are used interchangeably.

The first and second ingredients in the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” (gene therapy injections) that cause cancer: the spike protein; and, the SV40 cancer promoter gene code piece. Please see: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-study-pfizer-covid-19-vaccine, “BREAKING STUDY: Pfizer COVID-19 “Vaccine” Plasmid DNA Found Inside Lethal Turbo Cancer of the Heart”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 9 September 2026. The deceased was a 35-year-old male, with no personal or family history of cancer, who took the “primary series” of two injections of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”, BNT162b2, in April and May 2021. 170 days after the second injection, the patient was diagnosed with a “large tumor” in the left atrium of his heart, and that had already metastasized to the brain. Despite numerous surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, the patient ultimately passed away 675 days after the initial diagnosis. Please see the screenshots from the Hulscher article, below:

Look at the above again: The SV40 cancer promoter-enhancer was NOT found to be present. What WAS found to be present were “vaccine” spike protein fragments. This confirms that the spike protein in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” can cause cancer. This is aside from the fact that the SV40 cancer promoter-enhancer gene code piece is ALSO in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines.” Please see: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/17-ways-mrna-shots-may-cause-cancer, “17 Ways mRNA Shots May Cause Cancer, According to Over 100 Studies”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 24 June 2025.

**** This makes two ingredients (out of the three) which these modRNA-based injectables contain that can (and do) cause cancer. The paper that is referenced in the Hulscher article is here: https://zenodo.org/records/22677693, “Fatal Cardiac Intimal Sarcoma in a 35-Year-Old Male Following COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination: Plasmic DNA Fragments Encoding the S-Protein Detected in Tumor Tissue”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, et al., 9 September 2026. Note: The paper is a preprint. Interested readers should consider archiving, printing out, or otherwise saving it, in the event the paper is later Withdrawn, Retracted, or Reissued with New Conclusions due to pressure brought on Zenodo by outside entities, or due to pressure brought onto the paper’s authors. In addition, it is now proven that the modRNA, the spike protein, and the SV40 cancer promoter-enhancer gene code piece can be found in “vaccinated” persons for at least 3.5 years after injection: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-peer-reviewed-study-finds-51c, “BREAKING: Peer-Reviewed Study Finds mRNA, SV40, and Spike Protein Can Persist in Humans for At Least 3.5 Years After COVID-19 “Vaccination””, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 9 July 2026. The paper referred to in this article is found here: https://doi.org/10.18103/mra.2026.0351, “Persistence of Vaccine mRNA, Plasmid DNA, Spike Protein, and Genomic Dysregulation Over 3.5 Years Post-COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, et al., epublished 31 July 2026. Yours Truly discussed this paper in the following post: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/09/04/health-friday-9-4-2026-open-thread-countermeasures-and-precautions-an-opinion-piece/.

The third ingredient in the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” that can cause cancer is now proven — cancer caused by the lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) within these “vaccines.” Please see: https://jessicar.substack.com/p/causal-role-of-lnp-induced-inflammation, “Causal role of LNP-induced inflammation in cancer metastasis in mice”, Jessica Rose, PhD, 3 September 2026. Please the screenshots, below, from Dr. Rose’s article:

So, to examine a couple of things: First, what are neutrophils? The short answer is, they are a type of white blood cell. Please see: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/22313-neutrophils; a screenshot from this article is below:

Second, the Pharmacokinetics Tabulated Summary report that Pfizer-BioNTech gave to the FDA early in 2021 (https://icandecide.org/wp-content/uploads/125742_S1_M2_26_pharmkin-tabulated-summary.pdf, regarding the biodistribution of BNT162b2 in the Wistar lab rats experiments and the related amounts of the lipid nanoparticles ALC-0159 and ALC-0315. Please see the screenshots from this report, below:

The paper referred to by Dr. Rose in her article is here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nantod.2026.103039, “Lipid nanoparticle used in mRNA vaccine promotes metastasis in mouse model via mt-DNA-induced neutrophil activation and NETosis”, Binhan Wang, et al., 28 March 2026. Note: the full article is restricted-access via institutions or via article purchase. The following screenshot is from the ScienceDirect “public viewing sections” page of the paper:

So, it appears that multiple types of lipid nanoparticles were used in the Binhan Wang, et al., experiments. Note: some combination of the above LNPs (DSPC and DMG-PEG2000) are found in both the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna 2026-2027 modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines.” SM-102, another LNP, is used in the Moderna “vaccines” (the ALC-0259 and ALC-0315 LNPs are used in the Pfizer-BioNTech “vaccines.”)

Please refer again to Page 7 of the Pharmacokinetics Tabulated Summary for BNT162b2 above, the huge accumulation of lipid nanoparticles AT THE INJECTION SITE of the Wistar lab rats. This argues that there is a similar accumulation of lipid nanoparticles AT THE INJECTION SITE for humans who take these “vaccines”: which would then also trigger the cascade of neutrophil activity for “vaccinated” persons, also STARTING AT THE INJECTION SITE WITH CELL DEATH. For another report on the Binhan Wang paper, and how important it is, please see: https://www.newstarget.com/2026-09-07-study-lipid-nanoparticle-mrna-vacines-promote-tumor-html, “Study finds Lipid Nanoparticle in mRNA Vaccines Could Promote Tumor Metatasis in Mice”, Morgan S. Verity, 7 September 2026.

**** And, there is another aspect of this situation: the fact that modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” SHED ONTO OTHER PEOPLE, including onto non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” people (https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/covid-19-vaccine-shedding-experiences, “What We’ve Learned from Over a Thousand Vaccine Shedding Reports”, 7 January 2024.) It is already known that, for example, mRNA-4157, the modRNA-based “individualized cancer vaccine” being developed by Moderna, requires female clinical study subjects to either be taking birth control starting BEFORE they begin participation in the study, AND to continue taking birth control for several months AFTER they complete participation; or, to be beyond childbearing age. This means that Moderna tacitly admits that mRNA-4157 CAN SHED. Please see: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/08/28/health-friday-8-28-2026-open-thread-mrna-4157-v940-also-known-as-intismeran-by-team-merck-and-moderna/.

It is past time, in Yours Truly’s opinion, for the American public to demand, first, that the entire “edifice” of the CDC / FDA / NIH / NIAID be completely dismantled and rebuilt as entities that will actually respond to, and safeguard the health of, the citizens of the United States; and, second, that the August 2026 agreement between NIH / NIAID and the United States Department of Defense be completely rescinded.

Health Friday 9.11.2026 Open Thread: 25th Anniversary of 9/11; NIH and the Department of War Just Signed a New Agreement

The free image of 9/11 Never Forget is courtesy of Magnific 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, 11 September 2026, is the 25th anniversary of 9/11/2001. Never forget. May the innocent souls who perished in these attacks rest in eternal Peace. May the innocent people who survived these attacks, but died later from their injuries or 9/11 attack-related illnesses, rest in eternal Peace. May those who survived these attacks, but live with 9/11 attack-related injuries or illnesses, continue to find proper treatment and compensation for their suffering.

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

Yours Truly writes today regarding a different type of attack: an attack, in my opinion, on the freedoms that Americans are guaranteed under the Constitution. This attack is in the form of an agreement, signed in August 2026, between the National Institutes of Health — and the United States Department of War. Thanks to 2nd Smartest Guy In The World: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/breaking-department-of-war-to-play, “BREAKING: Department of War To Play Larger Role In U.S. Biodefense & Pandemic Preparedness Under New Agreement With NIH”, 5 September 2026. Thanks also to Jon Fleetwood: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/nih-hands-up-to-2-billion-in-future, “NIH Hands Up to $2 Billion in Future Pandemic, Other Emergency Projects to Pentagon Funding Vehicles GAO Still Cannot Track”, 6 September 2026.

The signed agreement is here: https://media.defense.gov/2026/Sep/04/2003992359/-1/-1/0/INTERAGENCY-AGREEMENT-NIH-AND-DOW-REDACTED.PDF. It was signed by NIH director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, on 5 August 2026; and, by Dr. Robert Kadlec, MD, Assistant Secretary of War for Nuclear Deterrence, Chemical, and Biological Defense Policy and Programs (OASW ND – CBD), on 4 August 2026. The agreement runs for 10 years, until 2036. Dr. Kadlec spent 26 years in the United States Air Force. He was also the lead “architect” of Operation Warp Speed (https://www.acq.osd.mil/ncdbp/leadership/bio-kadlec.html.)

**** It appears that it was the NIH that requested this agreement be drawn up. It appears that the full agreement has not been finalized yet. Please see the screenshots from the signed document, below. Discussion will follow:

Department of War (OASW ND – CBD — Dr. Kadlec) responsibilities in the agreement:

NIH – NIAID (Dr. Bhattacharya, director, NIH; Dr. John H. Powers III, MD, Acting Director, NIAID) responsibilities in the agreement. Note particularly the first item:

The current Acting Director of NIAID is Dr. John H. Powers III, MD; he was appointed to this position by NIH in June, 2026. Dr. Powers is also Deputy Director of NIAID. His biography is below, from https://www.niaid.nih.gov/about/director:

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

The American public, as of early 2026, was starting to wake up to the following facts: One, that NIH / NIAID had been funding dangerous Gain-of-Function research on deadly pathogens for years — experiments performed in the United States and at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Communist China; Two, that NIH / NIAID hid the information about these experiments from the American public for years; Three, that at least one high-ranking NIAID employee — Dr. David Morens — had destroyed numerous communications related to these experiments; Four, that Dr. Morens destroyed these communications based on either the knowledge and approval of, or on the after-the-fact approval of, Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of NIAID; Five, that Dr. Fauci consistently lied to Congress in his appearances there to testify about these experiments; Six; that Dr. Fauci was granted a pre-emptive Presidential pardon for any “crimes committed relating to his activities at NIAID” between 2014 and December 2025 by then-President Biden; Seven, that Dr. Fauci pled the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution in response to every question posed to him during his Senate committee appearance in July 2026; Eight, that the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” are, in fact, dangerous and deadly; Nine, that the American public is beginning to refuse to take modRNA-platform based “vaccines”, including the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”; and, Ten, the American public is beginning to realize that these “vaccines” can, and do, induce or aggravate multiple types of illnesses, injuries, and disabilities — and can, and do, cause death — in people who take them. It is also now known that NIH / NIAID and Moderna had signed an agreement regarding co-development of, co-ownership of the Patent for, and sharing of royalty payments for use of, the modRNA-based COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”, mRNA-1273 and its “descendant” COVID-19 “vaccines” (SPIKEVAX and mNEXSPIKE.) This agreement is still in force. It is also now known that the then-Department of Defense (now Department of War) had signed cooperative agreements with Pfizer-BioNTech regarding that company’s development and implementation of, the modRNA-based COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”, BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY) — agreements that involved the United States Army in various aspects.

The American public is starting to push back on the use of these “vaccines.” The American public is starting to realize that NIAID, under Dr. Anthony Fauci, was funding Gain-of-Function virus research — research that ultimately resulted in the lab-creation of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus. And what does NIH / NIAID do? NIH signs an agreement in August, 2026 — and said agreement is NOT in the public’s eye until almost a month later — to transfer up to $2 Billion dollars to the Department of War for the funding of MORE Gain-of-Function experiments with modRNA-based platforms — in other words, shifting Gain-of-Function research from NIH / NIAID over to the Departent of War. This funding transfer includes paying Department of War personnel. What happens as the direct result of this signed agreement, in Yours Truly’s opinion, is the merging of NIH / NIAID with the Department of War — with NIH / NIAID as the “silent / funding” partner. No “draft agreement” was put before the American public to read. No “public comment period” before the agreement was drawn up and signed. It can be assumed that HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., either knew of this agreement and approved it; or, that he was presented with the signed agreement after the fact, and it was made clear that he could do nothing about it.

Does this mean that the Department of War will, in the future, lab-create the “next latest version” of COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” in conjunction with Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Novavax? That the Department of War will, in the future, lab-create the “next latest version” of influenza “vaccines” in conjunction with Big Pharma companies? That NIH / NIAID will, in the future, do “pass back and forth” processes with the Department of War related to the future development of these “vaccines”? Does it mean that NIH / NIAID will, in the future, be answerable to the Department of War, and not to the American people? What happens to the “advisory roles” of the CDC’s ACIP panel, and to the FDA’s VRBPAC panel? — Are they, in the future, going to he under the control of the Department of War? DID DR. JAY BHATTACHARYA ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS SIGNING?

**** It appears that NIH is already moving projects over to the Department of War. Please see: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-02799-3, “Revealed: inside the US & military’s plan to tap huge sums from the NIH”, Max Kozlov, 4 September 2026 (correction 5 September 2026). Most of this article is behind a restricted-access wall. Screenshots from the “general public view” section of the article are below:

The X post by Dr. Bhattacharya has to be read to be believed:

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

The United States military, via the Department of War (formerly, the Department of Defense) has been working in collaboration with Big Pharma and with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for decades; in particular, regarding HHS, working with the FDA / HHS / NIH /NIAID. Katherine Watt, the retired paralegal who closed her Substack earlier this year, wrote extensively about these collaborations. One such collection of her writings, regarding chemical / biological / “vaccines” aspects, is in PDF form, here: https://bailiwicknewsarchives.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/biological-agents-vaccines-chemical-and-biological-warfare-law.pdf.

It appears, in Yours Truly’s opinion, that the collaboration between the Department of War and HHS (NIH /NIAID) has, through the agreement signed between Dr. Robert Kadlec and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya in August, 2026, been taken to a new, and dangerous level: that of NIH / NIAID transferring Gain-of-Function and modRNA-platform “vaccines”development to the Department of War, along with also transferring up to $2 Billion dollars in funding for such activities. This, in Yours Truly’s opinion, is unprecedented. The taxpayers of the United States were not apprised of this situation. It appears that one person — Dr. Robert Kadlec, MD, of the Department of War — is literally now in charge of modRNA-platform “vaccine” development for deployment in BOTH civilians and the military; and, one person — Dr. John H. Powers III, MD — current Acting Director of NIAID — will literally be in charge of funneling NIH / NIAID funds, data, and other research information, to the Department of War; while, at the same time, himself reporting to NIH director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.

There are many crucial questions about this situation that MUST IMMEDIATELY be answered — with the answers GIVEN TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. Among them:

**** The NIH is the “requesting agency.” Exactly when was the first “request” made to the Department of War? What person(s), exactly, at NIH, made the “request”? To what person(s) at the Department of War?

**** Was HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., consulted before the first “request” from NIH to the Department of War? If so, when was he consulted? If so, did Sec. Kennedy, Jr., approve the first “request” from NIH to the Department of War? If not, did NIH go ahead anyway?

**** Is Pete Hegseth, Department of War secretary, involved in this situation? If so, what type(s) of involvement? Is Sec. Hegseth in contact with Dr. Robert Kadlec, MD? Is Sec. Hegseth in contact with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of NIH? Is he in contact with both?

**** Did President Donald Trump47 know of the new agreement between NIH and the Department of War? If so, was he consulted on this situation? If so, did he, as Commander-in-Chief, approve it?

**** Is / was, Dr. Erica Schwartz, MD, Rear Adm. (ret.), the current director of the CDC, involved in any way regarding the NIH / DOW agreement? Dr. Schwartz was an important “enforcer” of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” mandate on the U.S. military.

**** Has, in fact, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) been “merged into” the Department of War in any way whatsoever?

Health Friday 9.4.2026 Open Thread: Countermeasures and Precautions: An Opinion Piece

The free vintage image of hand washing for today’s offering header is courtesy of Open Culture 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 by 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.

Countermeasures and Precautions: An Opinion Piece

The following is not medical advice. The following is not “SHTF prepping.” The following is not intended to instill fear. The following are ideas and opinions for consideration regarding certain “ongoing and upcoming situations.” There are several areas to consider: First area: the FDA’s recent approval of mRNA-1010 (mFLUSIVA), the first modRNA-platform based influenza bioweapon “vaccine”; Second area: the FDA’s just approving the “latest version” of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” for 2026 – 2027, based only on testing performed on mice; and, Third area: the recent paper which proves that the spike protein and other ingredients of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” injections remain active in the “vaccinated” person’s body for at least 3 1/2 years post-final “vaccine” injection.

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

First area: the FDA’s recent approval of mRNA-1010 (mFLUSIVA): this situation has been covered extensively (and will continue to be covered) on this board; by our host, Wolf Moon, and by Yours Truly, among others who posted items related to the situation. The bottom lines of mFLUSIVA: One: this “vaccine” killed more than twice the number of clinical trial study subjects who took it, as compared to those study subjects who took the “comparator influenza” vaccine, Fluarix; Two: Moderna knows that mFLUSIVA can shed — study subjects were required sign an agreement to use birth control before, during, and after, their participation in the clinical trial; Three: mFLUSIVA was FDA-approved on “Accelerated Approval” for persons age 65 and over. Accelerated Approval means that Moderna must agree to perform a clinical trial of the “vaccine” using persons age 65 and older; Four: Moderna must also agree to track reports of deaths in persons who take mFLUSIVA. Our host, Wolf Moon, has written about mFLUSIVA; for example, here: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/08/07/a-grok-eyed-view-of-the-new-mrna-flu-shot/.

Second area: the FDA’s just granting approval for the “latest version” COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” for 2026 – 2027. The bottom lines: One: the FDA granted approval for the 2026 – 2027 “latest version vaccine” by Pfizer-BioNTech based on lab testing on 8 mice; no human trials. This follows the “Option 4” protocol for formulation of new COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” that was adopted by the FDA in 2022; Two: the FDA granted approval for the 2026 – 2027 “latest version vaccine” by Moderna based on lab testing on 10 mice, again following the “Option 4” described above; Three: based on the “ruling” against HHS by Federal Judge Brian E. Murphy earlier this year, these “latest version” COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” will be administered to persons from age 6 months and older. Please see: http://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-fda-approves-new-pfizer, “BREAKING: FDA Approves New Pfizer and Moderna XFG mRNA COVID-19 Shots Based on Data From Just 8 – 10 Mice”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 27 August 2026

Third area: the McCullough, et al., paper, which proves that serious adverse reactions and events can occur in COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccinated” persons at least 3.5 years after the last “vaccine” injection (https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-peer-reviewed-study-finds-51c, “BREAKING: Peer-Reviewed Study Finds mRNA, SV40, and Spike Protein Can Persist in Humans for At Least 3.5 Years After COVID-19 “Vaccination””, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 9 July 2026; the paper cited is here: https://doi.org/10.18103/mra.2026.0351, “Persistence of Vaccine mRNA, Plasmid DNA, Spike Protein, and Genomic Dysregulation Over 3.5 Years Post-COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, et al.; published 31 July 2026. The bottom lines: One: these “vaccines” can, and do, have continuous negative consequences in persons who take them for years afterwards; Two: that repeated injections of these “vaccines” accumulate / aggravate / induce, continuous attack on the “vaccinated” person’s entire body and immune system; and, Three: repeated injections of these “vaccines” have the potential for accumulated damage to the entire body and the destruction of the “vaccinated” person’s immune system.

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

It is estimated that about 77.1% of the population of the United States has taken at least one injection of a modRNA-based COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” (https://dig.abclocal.go.com/ccg/interactives/us-vaccine-tracker/vax_us_cdc.html, “U.S. COVID-19 vaccine map by state”. It is estimated that 135.6 million persons in the United States took an influenza “vaccine” in the 2025 – 2026 season (https://www.cdc.gov/fluvaxview/dashboard/index.html.) It is unknown how many will be take mFLUSIVA; however, there are physicians actively promoting this injectable. In fact, mFLUSIVA is being promoted as the “replacement” influenza vaccine for persons age 50 and older (https://epicenter.nyc.com/what-to-know-about-the-new-mrna-flu-vaccine-for-those-over-50/, Ambar Castillo, 13 August 2026.

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

Where does all of the above leave the 20% – 25% of Americans who do not have COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” in their bodies? Where does that leave those who have had a COVID-19 infection, have recovered, but still may have lingering issues stemming from the infection (Long COVID; systemic inflammations of one kind or another; lung issues, and so on)? Where does that leave COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons who have decided to never take another injection of any of them? Where does this leave Americans with the 2026 – 2027 “latest version” COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” coming on the market within weeks, coupled with the campaigns from Establishment Medicine / government agencies / employers, and other entities, to “make sure one is up-do-date” with the “latest version vaccine”? Where does this leave people who decide to not take mFLUSIVA? In Yours Truly’s opinion, it comes down to making individual decisions regarding personal (and, perhaps, family) “countermeasures and precautions” — and following them faithfully.

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

What would these “countermeasures and precautions” include? Perhaps, these areas to start the consideration and decision process: Countermeasures: Protocols using repurposed drugs (Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine); and, Vitamins, Supplements, and Foods. For Precautions: Lifestyle Protocols / Adjustments. Each of these have ramifications that impact finances; availability; and, interactions with people. Each of these require that people “do their own due diligence” in researching the “countermeasures and precautions” that they are considering implementing for themselves (and, perhaps, for their family.)

Protocols using repurposed drugs (Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine): These, in Yours Truly’s opinion, are the “core” of COVID-19 infection prevention or treatment. Independent Medical Alliance has both prevention and treatment protocols for COVID-19: https://imahealth.org/treatment-protocols/. Another protocol is found here: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/bombshell-shocker-the-cia-and-pfizer, “BOMBSHELL SHOCKER: The CIA & Pfizer LIED To The Public About The Need For Their $afe & Effective PSYOP-19 “Vaccines””, 2 September 2026; scroll down to the end of the post for “The Ultimate Disease Cure & Prophylaxis Protocol” section.

Vitamins, Supplements, and Foods: First, Vitamins and Supplements: Vitamin C and Vitamin D, for example, can help to bolster the body’s immune system. Supplements such as Zinc, Magnesium, and Quercetin help to keep the lungs clear (Zinc); to regulate many enzyme systems in the body (Magnesium); and, to increase or maintain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protection (Quercetin.) Please see: regarding Zinc: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC131177/, “What does zinc do?”, Abi Berger; 9 November 2002; regarding Magnesium: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-HealthProfessional/; regarding Quercetin: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/quercetin, Ryan Raman; 7 May 2026. Many brands of multivitamins contain a more-or-less good range of vitamins and minerals; however, the amounts per vitamin or mineral may or may not satisfy the needs of the individual; in those instances, separate supplementation may be desired. Vitamin D uptake from sunshine can be done in many different and healthy ways.

Second, Foods: There is a saying, “Let food be thy medicine.” For some people, a diet that satisfies what is necessary regarding not only nutrition, but also for vitamins and minerals, may be one approach. An example for inclusion in such a diet is eggs (https://www.roswellpark.org/cancertalk/202504/are-eggs-good-you, “Are eggs good for you?”, 18 April 2025.) The “humble egg” is actually a “mini-powerhouse” of vitamins and minerals: Vitamins A — B2 — B12 — E; Lutein; Iodine; Selenium; and more; in addition to protein. Another example, this time of vegetables, is carrots (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/foods/carrots, “Nutrition and Health Benefits of Carrots”, Adda Bjarnadottir, MS, RDN (Ice), 22 July 2026. Carrots provide beta-carotene (the body converts this into Vitamin A); fiber; antioxidants; and more. Carrots also may help support eye health, among other positive effects. Of course, there is red meat: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7015455/ , “What is the role of meat in a healthy diet?”, David M Klurfeld, July 2018. In addition to its being a complete protein, red meat also provides vitamins, amino acids, zinc, and iron.

Precautions: This area includes decisions regarding interacting with others who are COVID-19 “vaccinated”; whether or not to attend large-gathering places; and, if a non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” person is living with other who are “vaccinated”, among other situations. In no way is Yours Truly advocating that non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” people become “modern-day anchorites” with little or no contact with others. However, there are things that non-“vaccinated” people can do to reduce the potential for being exposed to “vaccine” shedding; and, to the potential for being infected by the COVID-19 virus itself. Examples: using disposable gloves at the gas pump; deciding whether or not to use “contactless” payment methods, as opposed to handing a credit card to someone; if possible, sitting at the back of a large-gathering event or facility; changing clothes after returning home from a family visit or going to a large-gathering event; taking an appropriately extra amount of, for example, Vitamin D before attending such an event; taking an appropriate extra dose of Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine after attending such an event; among others. Living with, or paying extended visits to, COVID-19 “vaccinated” people is another, and perhaps more difficult, area. Considerations here may be, for example, deciding to take Ivermectin on a weekly basis if a non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” person is part of a family (or, has roommates, etc.) that includes “vaccinated” people living in the same house. Please see: https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/covid-19-vaccine-shedding-experiences, “What We’ve Learned from Over a Thousand Vaccine Shedding Reports”, 7 January 2024.

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

There is another, and important, area, to consider: interactions between drugs that are prescribed for particular needs, and repurposed drugs (such as, Ivermectin.) Please see: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/drug-interactions. The Cleveland Clinic defines a drug interaction as what happens when “foods, drinks, dietary supplements, other drugs, prevent medications from working as they should.” For example, Ivermectin interacts with warfarin (Coumadin), and with other drugs: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/drugs-ivermectin-oral-tablet-interactions, Ashley Wong, PharmD, Last updated 17 January 2025. Ivermectin is also known to interact with: ketoconazole (an antifungal drug); and, with ritonavir (an HIV/AIDS treatment drug: please see https://synapse.patsnap.com/article/what-is-ivermectin-used-for); with benzodiazepines; and with alcohol (increased dizziness risk.) If using Ivermectin along with warfarin, it is important to keep a check on INR levels; it may also be germane to advise the healthcare professional who prescribed the warfarin, that Ivermectin is also being taken. Readers interested in investigating the potential for drug interactions regarding prescription drugs they take; and, for more information on prescription drugs, vitamins, and supplements (minerals) may wish to visit https://www.drugs.com/, or https://www.goodrx.com/. Note: be aware that these websites (and similar ones, such as the search engine at https://www.webmd.com/) appear to be biased against, for example, Ivermectin, except for the very narrow FDA-approved uses of this drug (to treat river blindness or lice.) The FDA still does not approve of Ivermectin for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19.

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

There is one final area to consider as a COVID-19 and/or mFLUSIVA countermeasure: regular mild to moderate exercise, at least five days a week for 20 – 30 minutes a day. If this exercise can be done in the open air, in the sunshine, there is even more benefit. And the exercise does not have to be strenuous: for example, Tai Chi sequences, practiced correctly and with using proper breathing techniques, can provide a “slow-motion” cardio workout. Just wearing a pedometer to count steps, or staying active inside the house, can help. The point is to avoid being sedentary. Please consult a health professional before starting, or increasing, an exercise program, especially if one is recovering from an illness, has certain health conditions, and so on.

Health Friday 8.28.2026 Open Thread: mRNA-4157 / V940, Also Known As Intismeran, by Team Merck and Moderna

The free image of a vintage laboratory for today’s offering header is courtesy of stockcake 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. 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. Special Note regarding today’s offering: it is long. There are exhibits. Yours Truly is taking a blowtorch to the entire situation regarding mRNA-4157 (Intismeran) + KEYTRUDA©. Thank you.

The general summary: Moderna’s “on-demand cancer vaccine”, mRNA-4157, takes the concept of modRNA to a new, and potentially dangerous, level. There are no published results for the most-recent clinical trial for this “vaccine”, NCT05933577; Moderna states it will release the “topline results” of this study “at a medical meeting.” The results of the previous clinical trial for mRNA-4157, NCT03897881, were not “stellar”, to say the least. The 2020 Patent for mRNA-4157, WO2020097291, discussed below, states that this “cancer vaccine” is apparently to be primarily used as a preventative measure in healthy persons, with the “option” to also use it for a treatment of diagnosed cancer in persons. mRNA-4157 is formulated using potentially multiple types of lipid nanoparticles. mRNA-4157 is formulated using potentially multiple types of uracil RNA destroyers, chief among them, the N1-methylpseudouridine already in use in the company’s COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines.” Moderna has partnered with Merck, Sharp and Dohme, in the development and clinical trials for mRNA-4157. These two companies have a 50/50 partnership agreement in place. Moderna has also borrowed $1.5 Billion dollars from Ares Capital Corporation for more funding.

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

Merck, Sharp and Dohme has teamed up with Moderna to lab-create a new type of modRNA-based “vaccine”; this one, they claim, based on blood samples taken from the patient himself/herself. The result is a “combination” of modRNA created, so it is claimed, from blood samples taken from patients with melanoma, a skin cancer that can be fatal; and into which samples certain other elements are mixed. The resulting product is called Intismeran Autogene (also called Intismeran.) This product is used in conjuction with an already-approved drug used in cancer treatment, called KEYTRUDA©. The patient is injected with Intismeran “cancer vaccine” mixture, while at the same time, undergoing treatment with KEYTRUDA© (with the patient having begun with KEYTRUDA© before the Intismeran is added; then, both are used.)

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

Yours Truly begins here, with the Merck announcement of the Phase 3 clinical trial “positive topline results” for Intismeran + KEYTRUDA© (NCT05933577: https://www.merck.com/news/merck-and-moderna-announce-phase-3-interpath-001-trial-of-intismeran-autogene-plus-keytruda-met-endpoints-of-recurrence-free-survival-rfs-and-distant-metastasis-free-survival-dmfs-in-patient/, “Merck and Moderna Announce Phase 3 INTerpath-001 Trial of Intismeran Autogene Plus KEYTRUDA© Met Endpoints of Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS) and Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS) in Patients With Completely Resected Stage IIB – IV Melanoma”, 19 August 2026. Please see the screenshots from this article, below. Note: For purposes of today’s offering, Yours Truly will use the terms KEYTRUDA©, pembrolizumab, and pembro interchangeably, as all three terms describe the same drug. Similarly, mRNA-4157 and Intismeran will be used interchangeably. Also, Yours Truly is not in any way, dismissing or minimizing the use of pembrolizumab alone in treating cancer; this drug has worked well for many patients. What Yours Truly is interested in is what appears to be the use of pembrolizumab as an “adjunct”, so to speak, to mRNA-4157.

However, no results have been published for Phase 3 of NCT0593577 — more on that below. Here is the announcement by Moderna, covered in BioPharmaDive: https://www.biopharmadive.com/news/moderna-merck-cancer-vaccine-landmark-result-melanoma/828238/, “Moderna and Merck cancer vaccine returns ‘landmark’ result in melanoma”, Jonathan Gardner, 19 August 2026. Please see the screenshot, below:

So, Team Merck and Moderna have no plans to release these “topline results” of NCT05933577 to the general public — but, instead, “intend” to release these “topline results” at a “medical meeting.” How “interesting.”

Which is followed by this, courtesy of our good TradeBait2, from Just The News: https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/science-press-release-moderna-cashes-mrna-cancer-vaccine-while-hiding-trial, “Science by press release: Moderna cashes in on mRNA cancer vaccine without publishing trial results”, Greg Piper, 23 August 2026.

Is Team Merck and Moderna hiding something about the “landmark result” of the Phase 3 clinical trial of mRNA-4157 (Intismeran) + KEYTRUDA©? Is it, perhaps, because this “landmark result” is really NO BETTER than those of the PREVIOUS clinical trial for this “cancer vaccine combo treatment”, NCT03897881? The truth is: the results of NCT03897881 are, so to speak, “less than landmark.” Please see: https://cancertherapyadvisor.com/reports/adding-intismeran-pembrolizumab-survival-melanoma/, “Adding Intismeran to Pembolizumab Boosts Survival in Advanced Resected Melanoma”, Liam Andrew Davenport, MA (Hons), 25 June 2026. This article reports on the 2026 annual meeting ot ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology.) The presenter of the results for NCT03897881 was Matteo S. Carlino, MBBS, PhD. Below are several screenshots: two from the meeting report; then, one of the Results section of the paper on NCT03897881 that was written by Dr. Carlino:

Look at what Dr. Carlino states: non-significant improvement in the study subjects who were taking mRNA-4157 + pembro; and, more risk of Grade 3 or higher adverse events in study subjects who were taking mRNA-4157 + pembro. Grade 3 adverse events “are serious” and interfere with the person’s ability to do normal activities such as, eating (https://dipg.org/treatment/clinical-trials/side-effects/, “Side Effects in Clinical Trials.”)

Look at the Results section above: less than 50% RFS risk reduction for mRNA-4157 + pembro compared to pembro use alone; SEVEN study patients died after taking the mRNA-4157 + pembro, and SEVEN patients died after taking pembro alone: in other words, no reduction of risk of death from the mRNA-4157 + pembro “conbo drug treatment.” The website for NCT03897881 are here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT03897881. In the “Reseacher View” details of this clinical trial, the only results are those in the two scientific papers that are cited; there is nothing in the “Results Posted” section on the clinical trial “Overview” webpage.

BUT, despite this set of results for NCT03897881, the FDA granted “breakthrough therapy designation” for the mRNA-4157 + pembrolizumab “combo cancer vaccine treatment”: https://www.onclive.com/view/fda-grants-breakthrough-therapy-designation-to-mrna-4157-v940-plus-pembrolizumab-in-high-risk-melanoma, Chris Ryan, 23 February 2023. Not a bad “return on investment” for Moderna on this one — even though the results of the NCT03897881 clinical trial appear to be “less than stellar.” A perfect example, in Yours Truly’s opinion, of how Big Pharma controls the FDA.

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

Yours Truly now turns to a major “source document” for mRNA-4157: the Patent for this “cancer vaccine”, found here: https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/WO2020097291, “RNA Cancer Vaccines”, publication date 14 May 2020; the Applicant is: ModernaTX, Inc., 200 Technology Square, Cambridge MA 02139. The following exhibits are from the Patent document; summaries are by Yours Truly. To begin: first, the Publication page; then, second, a portion of the Status Report page:

From the Summary of Invention, page 2: first, lines 5 – 11; then, lines 22 – 29. Notice that the “invention” is intended to stimulate the body to produce cancer proteins or parts thereof. This appears to be the “autogene” part of the “invention.” Notice also that the “invention” is to be administered multiple times to the patient. Notice also that mRNA-4157 can contain one or more mRNAs, each with one or more ORFs (Open Reading Frames):

Page 4, lines 20 – 28: the Patent’s inventors waste no time in making sure that N1-methylpseudouridine, among other uracil (RNA) destroyers (“modifiers”) can be used in mRNA-4157:

**** Page 5, lines 15 – 17: the basic mechanism of mRNA-4157 — to “provoke” a “memory immune response” in the patient’s body. Shades of the “immune memory response” that is supposedly “taught” to the body of the person who takes Moderna’s COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” SPIKEVAX or mNEXSPIKE, perhaps?:

**** Page 5, lines 25 – 27: It appears that either cancer tumor DNA, or blood sample DNA, from the patient, can be used to lab-generate the peptide epitopes in mRNA-4157:

Page 6, lines 21 – 22: the “checkpoint inhibitor” in the “cancer vaccine” treatment is KEYTRUDA© (pembrolizumab.)

**** Page 17, lines 20 – 24: mutations; look at the mention of frameshifting. A tacit admission that mRNA-4157, as do the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”, induce frameshifting in the body:

Page 31, lines 25 – 31: Depending on the ORF (Open Reading Frame) used, the treatment with mRNA-4157 can go on for up to 5 years:

There is extensive mention in the Patent of the use of N1-methylpseudouridine to completely replace (“uniformly modify” or “fully modify” are the terms used in the Patent) the uracil RNA of Uridine in the patient’s body. Example: please see Page 42, lines 8 – 14.

**** Methods of Treatment section: Page 67, lines 5 – 14: It appears that, in reality, mRNA-4157 is to be used as PROPHYLACTIC PROTECTION from cancer. Look at the language, “It may be reasonable” to use the “vaccine” ALSO as a treatment for a person who already has cancer. Also — Page 68, lines 30 – 31, and Page 69, lines 1 – 6: the mRNA-4157 “cancer vaccine” can ALSO be used in HEALTHY PERSONS as a “primer” and/or as a “booster shot”:

**** Page 70, lines 28 – 31, through Page 71, lines 1 – 14: the list of cancers that the Patent claims can be treated by mRNA-4157. This list includes dozens of types of cancer. The list from Page 71 is below:

Page 82 through Page 90: Discussion and description of the “Formula (1)”, aka “Compound 1” (which appears to be at least one of the mRNA-4157 “formulas” that is being used in the clinical trials); discussion and description of “Formula 1A”; discussion and description of “Formula II.”

Page 91, lines 9 – 11: What looks like the chemical schema of the lipid nanoparticle SM-102 being used in the “Compound 1” of mRNA-4157:

Which looks suspiciously like CAS# 2089251-47-6, “SM-102” available from Broadpharm (https://broadpharm.com/search?search_query=2089251-47-6):

Or, that Moderna modified the “backbone” of the SM-102 lipid nanoparticle that is used in the company’s COVID-19 modRNA bioweapon “vaccines” for use in mRNA-4157.

**** Page 105: Phase 1 clinical trial for mRNA-4157 + pembro, “Combination arm” results. “Compound 1” (“C1” — see above in the Patent presentation) was used. Table 6, included on Page 105, indicates that, of the 20 advanced metatastic / advanced cancer patients in the study, 8 then presented with Progressive Disease. This appears to mean an almost 50% risk of presenting with progressive cancer while taking mRNA-4157 + pembro. The results of this 2019 Phase 1 clinical trial (https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT03739931) are summarized here: https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JGO.2019.5.suppli.93. From the Abstract of this paper, the Results section, which equates to the Table 6 on Page 105 of the Patent:

**** Team Merck and Moderna KNOW that mRNA-4157 CAN SHED. Please see: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/03739931, the “Researcher View”; scroll down to the subsection “Exclusion Criteria”. BOTH male and female study subjects in this Phase 1 clinical trial had to agree TO USE BIRTH CONTROL:

The above is not an exhaustive analysis of the cited Patent for mRNA-4157. In fact, there are multiple other Patents listed for mRNA-4157, per Page 30 of the above cited Patent. What the exhibits and summaries of the above cited Patent do indicate, however, are:

That Moderna is using the “framework” of their COVID-19 modRNA bioweapon “vaccines” to move on to the next step: the lab-creation of “on-demand” cancer treatment “vaccines” that would be tailored to the individual patient, and lab-created from various types of samples from the patient;

That Moderna is potentially including MULTIPLE TYPES of lipid nanoparticles in the potential “compositions” of the “cancer vaccines” that the company is using mRNA-4157 as the “template” for;

That Moderna is taking the concept of “modRNA” to a different — and, in Yours Truly’s opinion, a potentially dangerous level, absent YEARS of intense research and clinical trials — “modRNA” that is lab-created using an “automated one-demand” process from the cells of an individual person (blood; tumor; urine; sweat; saliva, etc.);

That Moderna is making the claim that a “cancer treatment vaccine” lab-created from the patient’s own DNA can be, almost literally, be produced “on the spot” for near-real time, “instant’ treatment use; and has built an entire “automated facility” to produce this “vaccine”;

That it appears Moderna intends for mRNA-4157 to be used in healthy persons as a PREVENTATIVE “vaccine” for cancer, in addition to the product being used to treat persons who ALREADY HAVE cancer; and,

That Moderna appears to be using persons who already have cancer as “human lab rats” to see if mRNA-4157 has any real benefit as a cancer treatment;

That Moderna may be using these “human lab rats” in mRNA-4157 clinical trials as “proof” of “If cancer can be cured with a modRNA “vaccine”, and cancer being something that people never want to have: then, taking mRNA-4157 as a cancer preventative can erase cancer from humankind.”

Yours Truly now turns to another type of “source document” regarding mRNA-4157 (Intismeran): the Moderna SEC filing of 31 December 2025 (Securities and Exchange Commission document.) The SEC filing is found here: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/degar/data/1682852/000168285226000033/mrna-20251231.htm.

Page 10: the “surface properties” regarding the lipid nanoparticle (LNP) platform systems.

**** Page 19: the mRNA-4157 “Intismeran autogene” targets the CD4 and CD8 cells of the body (shades of the attack on the CD4 and CD8 cells that occurs from the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines.”) Also: Moderna will share 50% with Merck regarding the costs, profits and losses worldwide for mRNA-4157. Please see the screenshot, below, from Page 19 of the SEC filing:

Page 22: Moderna has built an entire “dedicated” facility in Marlborough, MA, devoted solely for the lab-creation and processing of mRNA-4157.

**** Page 26, section THIRD-PARTY STRATEGIC ALLIANCES: Merck has paid Moderna a total of $450 million in research and development costs for mRNA-4157. This is pursuant to a third-party strategic alliance agreement that was signed by Moderna and Merck in January 2015, for the development, approval, and marketing of “cancer vaccines.” (Recall that Moderna also has a STILL-EXISTING third-party strategic alliance agreement with NIAID regarding the development, approval, and marketing of mSPIKEVAX and mNEXSPIKE. Moderna is paying royalty payments for NIAID for every dose of these “vaccines.” This particular third-party strategic alliance agreement began in 2015, with Moderna and NIAID agreeing to co-develop and co-own the Patent for mRNA-1273. This is discussed in the SEC filing of 31 December 2025, on Page 31) Please see the screenshot below, regarding mRNA-4157 and Merck:

**** Page 43 et seq., Item 1A. Risk Factors section of the Moderna SEC filing of 31 December 2025: the following, from Page 44: “The commercial success of our products depends on the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, third-party payors and others in the medical community.” From Page 46: “If we cannot obtain, or are delayed in obtaining, regulatory approvals and advisory committee recommendations, we will be unable to effectively commercialize, or be delayed in commercializing, our product candidates.” In Yours Truly’s opinion, Moderna is stating that its products are “successful” if they have “market acceptance”; and, that Moderna needs to have swift regulatory approval of its products to get them on the market as soon as possible.

**** Page 144, Exhibit 10.7 (title hyperlinked): Moderna borrowed $1.5 Billion dollars from Ares Capital Corporation on 19 November 2025. The lender(s), of course, will be looking for a “full return” of the loan. Please see below:

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

Yours Truly turns to one more aspect of modRNA “vaccines”: the potential that they will shed onto other people. This phenomenon is likely, as most vaccines can shed, at least for a limited time; however, in the case of the modRNA “vaccines” (and this now includes modRNA “cancer vaccines”, such as mRNA-4157), the potential for “vaccine” shedding is ALSO brought to a new, and possibly very dangerous, level. If a modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” can shed, what about the potential for an “individualized cancer vaccine” to ALSO shed? For more information regarding COVID-19 “vaccine” shedding, please see: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/inadvertent-exposure-to-pharmacologically, “Inadvertent Exposure to Pharmacologically Designed Lipid Nanoparticles Via Bodily Tissues: Biologic Plausibility and Potential Consequences”, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, 3 March 2024. The three types of exposure are: “vaccine” biodistribution within the body of the “vaccinated” person; Two, via “secondary exposure” (skin-to-skin contact, sexual intercourse, bodily fluids, etc.); and, Three, via contaminated blood in blood transfusions. The paper referred to in the McCullough article, of the same title as his article, is here: https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202402.1267.v1, T.J. Halma, Jessica Rose, Peter A. McCullough; 22 February 2024.

Gentle reader, does one see how the game is played by Moderna? In November 2015, Moderna and NIAID signed a CONFIDENTIAL DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT regarding development of injectable drugs. NIAID (NIH) would pay Moderna as part of this “collaborative” agreement. Amendment No. 5, of April 2019, is the first mention of mRNA technology being co-developed by Moderna and NIAID; Amendment No. 6, of February 2020, extends this “collaboration.” In addition to these, Moderna and NIAID signed a COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“CRADA”) in August 2016. The above documents are found here: https://www.documentcloud.org/doceuments/6935295-NIH-Moderna-Condifential-Agreements/.

So, Step One is in place: Moderna and the US government agree to co-develop, co-own, and share royalty payments for certain vaccines, including mRNA-based bioweapon “vaccines.” Step Two: between April 2019 and November 2020, the “collaborators” work on the lab-creation of mRNA-1273. Step Three: the COVID-19 disaster begins, late fall of 2019. Step Four: the FDA grants the initial EUA for mRNA-1273 on 11 December 2020. Step Five: millions of Americans are gaslighted, coerced, or “mandated” to take COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” — such as, mRNA-1273 and its “descendant clone vaccines.” Step Six: hundreds of types of serious adverse reactions and adverse effects begin to present. These adverse effects include cancer.

Meanwhile, Moderna and Merck, in January 2016, sign an agreement to “collaborate” on the lab-creation of an modRNA-based “cancer vaccine”, (which would eventually be called mRNA-4157 (Intismeran)), and get this injectable to the clinical trials stage. Moderna and Merck agree to share 50 / 50 the costs, profits, and losses regarding this “cancer vaccine.” The Patent for mRNA-4157, described above, specifically states that mRNA-4157 is to be used as a preventative for cancer, with the “option” for it to also be used as a cancer treatment (with another cancer drug as an “adjunct”; in the case of mRNA-4175, it is pembrolizumab.) Moderna has several “bases” covered at the same time: create a “vaccine” that can (and does) induce cancer in the body; then treat that cancer with another modRNA-based “vaccine” (mRNA-4157) that is coupled with pembrolizumab; while, at the same time, keeping mRNA-4157 “under wraps”, so to speak, in the Patent for this “cancer vaccine”, for future use as a preventative for cancer.

Moderna is already moving along in the mRNA-4157 trajectory. There are two other clinical trials using this “cancer vaccine”: NCT06307431, for persons with renal cell carcinoma; and, NCT06961006, for persons with advanced melanoma. The clinical trials cited in today’s offering were / are sponsored either by Moderna or by Merck.

Health Friday 8.21.2026 Open Thread: NIH, NIAID, US Army Fund the Creation of an Avian Influenza Vaccine with Plague-Derived Adjuvant

The free vintage image for today’s offering header of Scène de la peste de 1720 by Michel Serre, of the Great Plague of Marseille, is courtesy of Google Images. For more information about the Great Plague of Marseille, please see: https://www.sciendirect.com/science/article/pii/S0755498222000318, “History of the plague of 1720 – 1722, in Marseille”, Michel Signoli, et al.; September 2022. For more information about the Black Death (Black Plague) in Europe, 1347 – 1351, please see: https://www.britannica.com/event/Black-Death. Note that the article on the Britannica website mentions the fact that the strain of Yersinia pestis (Y. pestis) that caused the Black Death plague in Europe is the ancestral strain of all other plague events since then.

The word “plague” generate images of the Black Death (Black Plague, the Bubonic Plague) that swept through Europe in the mid-1300s. Of thousands of dead people on the streets. Of entire families wiped out in a few days. Of the cries of “Bring out your dead.” And the Black Death is only one example of how devastating the plague can be. There have been numerous other incidents of plague attack, such as the 1720 – 1722 event that struck Marseille, France. Today’s offering discusses a “new aspect” of the plague — of a certain element of it being used as a “vaccine” ingredient. For purposes of today’s offering, Yersinia pestis and Y. pestis are used interchangeably.

There has been concern and discussion regarding the use of certain “adjuvants” in injected drugs (examples: the Hepatitis B “vaccine” uses an aluminum-based adjuvant; certain influenza “vaccines” still use mercury-based adjuvants (thimerosal.) https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/about/adjuvants.html defines an adjuvant as: “An adjuvant is an ingredient used in some vaccines that helps create a stronger immune response in people receiving the vaccine.” For more information regarding the use of aluminum as an adjuvant, please see: https://www.chop.edu/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-safety/vaccine-ingredients/aluminum. For more information regarding the use of mercury as an adjuvant, please see: https://www.chop.edu/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-safety/vaccine-ingredients/thimerosal. Both of these articles are by Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

However, there are other types of adjuvants that are either now in use, or are being studied for use, in injectable drugs. One such use being studied is the subject of today’s offering: an Avian Influenza “vaccine” adjuvant derived from the Yersinia pestis bacterium (the Black Death, the Black Plague, and also known as the Bubonic Plague.) To repeat: an Avian Influenza “vaccine” adjuvant derived from the Yersinia pestis bacterium (the Black Death, the Black Plague, and also known as the the Bubonic Plague.) Yours Truly begins here, with an article by Jon Fleetwood: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/hhs-funds-chimeric-bird-flu-pandemic, “HHS Funds Chimeric Pandemic Bird Flu Vaccine Made With Engineered Plague Derivative BECC470s: Journal ‘mSphere'”, 13 August 2026. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:

The paper referred to in the Fleetwood article is here: https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1126/msphere.00171-26, “Optimizing an avian influenza vaccine using a novel Bacterial Enzymatic Combinatorial Chemistry (BECC) TLR4 adjuvant”, Robert K. Ernst, et al.; 10 July 2026. The research was funded primarily via HHS-NIH-NIAID-BAA2017/HHSN272201800043C; via other HHS-NIH-NIAID grants; and, the Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health (University of Maryland School of Medicine.) The work of one co-author, Devon Riley, was funded via the United States Army Long-Term Health and Education Training Program.

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

What is BECC470? Please see: https://www.fromtiersin.org/journals/immunology/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2026.187218/full, “Licensed and investigational TLR4 agonists as vaccine adjuvants: Structural basis, clinical progress, and future directions”; Jiasheng Zhou, et al.; 16 July 2026. Note that, except for one co-author of this paper (who is associated with the Communist Chinese version of the CDC), all other co-authors are associated with research institutes in Wuhan, Communist China. A screenshot of section 3.2 of this paper, which describes BECC (Bacterial Enzymatic Combinatorial Chemistry) is below. There are two versions of BECC470: BECC470b (the biological form of the Y. pestis element in the adjuvant); and, BECC470s (the lab-created synthetic form of the Y. pestis element in the adjuvant):

BECC438, BECC470b, and BECC470s are all derived from the lipid A in Y. pestis.

It appears that there are three separate publications of the Robert K. Ernst, et al., paper: the 10 July 2026 paper in the ASM Journals, cited above; another publication, a day later in July 2026, in journal Vaccines (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S02644-10X26005839), “BECC-adjuvanted hemagglutinin influenza vaccine promotes enhanced immunogenicity and protective efficacy”, Robert K. Ernst, et al.; 11 July 2026; and, a Biorxiv preprint version, published in March 2026 (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2026/03/05/2026.03.03.709477.full.pdf, “Optimizing an avian influenza vaccine using a novel Bacterial Enzymatic Combinatorial Chemistry (BECC) TLR4 adjuvant”, Robert K. Ernst, et al.; 5 March 2026. All three of these publications appear to have same parameters: One, that Gain-of-Function experiments were performed with multiple strains of Avian Influenza and then injected into the lab mice; Two, there is no direct mention that BECC438, or BECC470b, or BECC470s, are derived from the lipid A of Y. pestis; and, Three, that BECC adjuvants are “superior” to the other types of adjuvants currently in influenza “vaccines.”

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

Back to the article by Jon Fleetwood. Something caught Yours Truly’s eye: It appears that the lipid A portion of a certain strain of Y. pestis, called KIM6+, is the one that was chosen to lab-create BECC470b, which was then chemically engineered to create BECC470s. Please see below:

Yours Truly did some digging into KIM6+. The 2023 paper, which also has Robert K. Ernst as co-author, is here: https://www.cell.com/action/showPdf?pii=S2405-8440(23)05327-6, “Physiochemical characterization of biological and synthetic forms of two lipid A-based TLR4 agonists”, Robert K. Ernst, et al.; available online 8 July 2023. Another paper, from 2021, by Bland, et al., discusses the KIM6+ strain of Y. pestis and its infectivity: https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1009995, “Acquisition of Yersinia murine toxin enabled Yersinia pestis to expand the range of mammalian hosts that sustain flea-borne plague”, David M. Bland, et al.; 14 Octocer 2021. Please see below, from the Results section of this paper:

It appears that the KIM6+ strain of Y. pestis is one that has about 50% more capability to infect. And it is the KIM6+ strain that was chosen to lab-create BECC470b; and then to have that chemically engineered to lab-synthesize BECC470s — both of which can be used as vaccine adjuvants.

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

Robert K. Ernst holds at least two US Patents related to the use of KIM6+-derived Y. pestis lipid A constructs that can be used as adjuvants in vaccines: US10358667B2, 7 January 2016, “Adjusted expiration” of 19 March 2034: and, US11124815B2, 21 September 2021, “Adjusted expiration” of 7 March 2034. Both Patents have the same Title (“Immunotherapeutic Potential of Modified Lipooligosacchardies/Lipid A”); the same Inventors (Robert K. Ernst, et al.); and the same Licenses and Options (Licensed to TollereBio Corporation [Robert K. Ernst], Optioned to Virtici, LLC.)

Reading through US10358667B2, one finds, for example, that a BSL-2 biosafety laboratory level is, apparently, sufficient to work with the KIM6+ lipid A of Y. pestis, and to lab-create BECC470 adjuvants from this bacterium; that BOTH the “biological version” of BECC470 (BECC470b) and the “synthetic version” of BECC470 (BECC470s) can be used as vaccine adjuvants; and, that the BECC470 vaccine adjuvants, per the Patent, section VIII. Use of Exemplary Lipooligosaccharide/Lipid A-based Mimetic Compositions: “…is [sic] useful for…” the following vaccines, among others, listed in the Patent:

measles, mumps, rubella (think MMR);

polio;

plague;

chickenpox;

HPV;

Hepatitis B (think newborn “vaccination” with this one);

pertussis;

tetanus;

and, shigella (Shingles)

And, in fact, Dr. Ernst is at work creating a shigella “vaccine” that includes BECC-engineered adjuvants: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/pii/S0264410X25000763, “BECC-engineered live-attenuated Shigella vaccine candidates display reduced endotoxicity with robust immunogenicity in mice”, Robert K. Ernst, et al.; 19 March 2025. This paper appears, in Yours Truly’s opinion, to “dance around” actually mentioning the apparent use of Y. pestis-derived elements in the Gain-of-Function shigella “vaccine” that was administered to lab mice (administered using various methods, including intramuscular injection and gastric injection.) The paper does list various Patents that are “related” to the paper, including both US10358667B2 and US11124815B2 (discussed above in today’s offering.) The paper also lists the 2018 Ernst, et al., paper regarding the use of Y. pestis-derived BECC438 in a vaccine administered to mice: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0264410X18307680, “A lipid A-based TLR4 mimetic effectively adjuvants a Yersinia pestis rF-V1 subunit vaccine in a murine challenge model”, Robert K. Ernst, et al.; 27 June 2018.

In Yours Truly’s opinion, this entire situation raises important questions, among them: One: Why is the United States government (via HHS / NIH / NIAID), and the United States Army, funding research into using any element of the plague bacterium in a drug of any type, let alone a drug that can be injected? Two: How is it possible that a BSL-2 level laboratory can be considered to have sufficient biosafety to work with any element of the plague bacterium? Three: Why was KIM6+, apparently one of the most deadly and infective lipid A elements of Y. pestis, used to lab-create BECC470b and BECC470s? And, Four: Is it possible to completely “de-nature” the deadly effects of any element of Y. pestis sufficiently for such element to be used as an adjuvant in vaccines?

McCullough, MD, MPH (text summary and embedded video interview with Dr. McCullough.) There are links to other articles; to scientific papers; to charts and graphics, within each of the other cited URLs. An example of the items found in the links above is this one, a screenshot from the Martin Armstrong article. The paper by Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, the “federal study” of April 2021, is discussed further down in today’s offering:

In Yours Truly’s opinion: Dr. Anthony Fauci; Dr. Rochelle Walensky; and, Dr. Vivek Murthy — all knew what they were doing in privately recognizing to each other that the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” were dangerous to pregnant women; to the child they were carrying; and, that these “vaccines” could cause the death of the fetus in a “vaccinated” pregnant woman: while, at the same time, each of them were stating that these same “vaccines” were “safe and effective”, and that they would not pose harm to a pregnant woman or to her unborn child. There is no excuse for, no “qualifying explanation” for, no running away from, the fact that the lies these three physicians spread resulted in the miscarriage — the stillbirth — the death inside the womb, of thousands of babies due to the their expectant mothers getting COVID-19 “vaccinated.” The miscarriages — stillbirths — deaths of these children are on their hands.

The Shimabukuro, et al., paper of April 2021, attempted to gloss over the dangers of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” to pregnant women (https://nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2104983, “Preliminary Findings of mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine Safety in Pregnant Persons”, Tom Shimabukuro, et al; April 2021. At the time this paper was published, Dr. Shimabukuro was the director of the Immunization Safety Office of the CDC. Please see the screenshot of the “Results” section of the Abstract from the original April 2021 paper; followed by the screenshot of the “Correction” version of the same “Results” that was published on 8 September 2021:

However, neither the original Shimabukuro, et al., paper, nor the “corrected” paper, apparently mention the fact that, of the 3958 reported pregnancies in COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccinated” women (“pregnant persons”), only 827 pregnancies were “completed.” Which leaves 3,131 reported pregnancies that were NOT “completed” in these “vaccinated” women; in other words, about a 79.2% non-completed pregnancy rate in these “vaccinated” women — not the 12.6% negative pregnancy outcomes rate stated in the paper.

Yours Truly now turns to US9884859B2, the Patent granted in October 2015 to Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, for his “invention” of the “template virus” for SARS-CoV-2. The following screenshots, below, are from this Patent: the Title and Dates Summary; the Figure 1; the paragraph from the Detailed Description of the Invention regarding the use of subgroup 1a-type viruses in the “invention”; the citations from the Patent for viruses used in the subgroup 1a section on the Figure 1 “virus tree chart”

Look at the phrase from the paragraph regarding subgroup 1a viruses that can be used in Dr. Baric’s “invention”: “…, as well as any other subgroup 1a coronavirus now known (e.g., as can be found in the GenBank (R) Database or later identified, and any combination thereof.” This means that ANY subgroup 1a-type of coronavirus can be used in the SARS-CoV-2 “template virus” that Dr. Baric “invented.” How does this tie into the miscarriages, the stillbirths, the live births of infants who are weak / low weight, and so on, to expectant mothers who were “vaccinated” with a COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”? First: Yours Truly believes that Dr. Ralph Baric shared information contained in US9884895B2 with Dr. Zheng-li Shi of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (as she was working on various coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV); and/or, he shared samples of certain subgroup 1a viruses with Dr. Shi. Second: Yours Truly believes that US9884895B2 was the “template virus” for SARS-CoV-2 “foundation” that ultimately became the “modRNA” (aka “mRNA”) used in the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines.” Regarding the citation in the Patent above, about Porcine Respiratory and Reproductive Virus (also called Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome), please see the following screenshot from this website: https://www.merckvetmanual.com/generalized-conditions/porcine-reproductive-and-respiratory-sundrome/porcine-reproductive-and-respiratory-syndrome:

Regarding the Figure 1 of the Patent, please refer to the “1a” portion of the “virus tree.” There are three viruses listed: FCoV (Feline coronavirus); TGEV (Transmissible Gastroenteritis virus [swine]);, and, PRV (Pseudorabies virus [swine].) Please see the screenshot about PRV, below, from this website: https://merckvetmanual.com/nervous-system/pseudorabies/pseudorabies-in-pigs:

Why was Dr. Baric including at least two viruses that cause reproductive failure in swine in his Patented “template virus” for SARS-CoV-2 “invention” — Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Virus (PRRV, aka PRRS); and, Pseudorabies virus (PRV)? Why was Pseudorabies virus (PRV) the only one listed on Fig. 1 from the Patent US9884895B2, unless this entire “virus tree” graphic is only listing examples of the various subgroup viruses that could be utilized in Dr. Baric’s Patent “template virus” for SARS-CoV-2 “invention”?

Yours Truly turns to one final item: Page 8 of the Pharmacokinetics Tabulated Summary report on BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY) given to the FDA by Pfizer-BioNTech in 2021 (https://icandecide.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/125742_S1_M2_26_pharmkin-tabulated-summary.pdf. Look at the BNT162b2 accumulations (assisted by the ALC-0159 and ALC-0315 lipid nanoparticles in this “vaccine”) in the Ovaries (12.3) and in the Uterus (0.456) in the Wistar lab rats.) [Note: this is aside from the fact that the COVID-19 bioweapon virus itself, as “invented” by Dr. Baric, has these two female fertility and pregnancy killers included in it — meaning that a female of childbearing age could, in theory, become infected with the virus itself, recover, but potentially have problems in terms of conception, carrying the fetus through pregnancy, and delivering a healthy child. The difference here, in Yours Truly’s opinion, is that if the female is non-COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccinated”, that person still has a relatively intact natural immune system to help fight off the virus itself and its negative effects. A “vaccinated” female’s natural immune system is damaged or destroyed by the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” that she took. The mechanism of these “vaccines” is to induce a constant state of “fake COVID-19 virus infection” in the “vaccinated” persons’ body. In addition, the lipid nanoparticles ALC-0159 and ALC-0315 (in the Pfizer-BioNTech “vaccines”); and, the SM-102 (in the Moderna “vaccines”) move the ingredients of these injectables into every cell in the “vaccinated” person’s body.)] Page 8 is below:

Now, tie these accumulations in with the information above regarding the inclusion of at least two types of swine virus that cause reproductive failure (PRRV, aka PRRS; and, PRV) into Dr. Baric’s “template virus” Patent for SARS-CoV-2, US9884895B2. To Yours Truly, the combination of these inclusions; plus, the documented accumulations in the ovaries and the uteruses of the Wistar lab rats injected with BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY); and which version, by the way, was the same version for which the FDA granted the initial EUA for use in the United States on 11 December 2020, and which version is still the “foundational version” still used in all “descendant versions” of COMIRNATY since then; plus, the documented reports of miscarriages — stillbirths — live births with weak and/or low weight infants, involving pregnant females who were injected with modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”: all add to up something that is not a “coincidence.” It is, instead, a situation that cannot be ignored or minimized. It is, instead, a situation that must be fully investigated by the highest levels of government. In Yours Truly’s opinion: Pfizer-BioNTech; Moderna; and, Novavax, MUST be compelled to disclose the EXACT ingredients of the modRNA in their respective COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”, the AMOUNTS of these ingredients, and the EXACT formulations of their respective COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines.” In addition, the above manufacturers MUST be compelled to disclose any and all communications with Dr. Baric regarding US9884895B2, and the use of any of the information in that Patent in their respective COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” formulations and manufacture.

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

Yours Truly has written regarding the “invention” by Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, the now-retired head of the Baric Lab at the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, of the “template virus” for SARS-CoV-2 (the COVID-19 “virus”), here: 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-virus/. This “invention” by Dr. Baric was almost totally funded through grants issued from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) via its National Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) division (Dr. Anthony Fauci, MD, NIAID Director from 1984 until his retirement in 2022.) This particular Health Friday series will focus on certain items in US9884895B2. Today’s offering is not intended to be a science lecture: it is to illustrate a certain aspect of the research journey of the “Master Designer” of SARS-CoV-2: Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD.

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

The SARS-CoV-2 “virus” (COVID-19 “virus”) is actually a lab-created viral biological weapon (VLBW)©. It is nothing ever found in nature: it is a lab-created construct. This lab-created “virus” is a construct of gene code pieces from multiple animal coronaviruses, among them: RaTG13 bat coronavirus (which may also be a lab-created coronavirus; see the Bostickson and Ghannam paper link, below in today’s offering); SHC014 bat coronavirus; WIV1 bat coronavirus; VEEV (Venezuela Equine Encephalitis Virus); MP789 Pangolin coronavirus; and, TGEV (swine gastroenteritis virus.) The gene code pieces of the SHC014 bat coronavirus, the WIV1 bat coronavirus, the VEEV, and the TGEV — among dozens of other types of coronaviruses, including the MERS virus (Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome virus) — were spliced into Gain-of-Function viruses that Dr. Baric was experimenting with, to create his “invention” of the “template virus” for SARS-CoS-2, and for which Dr. Baric applied for a Patent in March 2015. It is this writer’s belief that Dr. Baric transmitted information related to the “invention” of US9884895B2, along with other items, to Dr. Zheng-li Shi of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (where she was already working on a SARS-type lab-created virus), in order for Dr. Shi to complete further “enhancement” of the “template virus” that Dr. Baric had lab-created. Yours Truly further believes that Dr. Baric and Dr. Shi had been in collaboration regarding this SARS-type virus “enhancement” since 2013, if not earlier. What is now known is that Dr. Shi did further “enhance” the SARS-type virus that she had been working on with more, and more lethal, coronaviruses: the MP789 Pangolin coronavirus; the 7896 bat coronavirus; and, perhaps others. In the case of the 7896 bat coronavirus, there was a concerted effort by the Communist Chinese version of the CDC to cover up the use of this particular coronavirus. Please see: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350515493_2_INVESTIGATION_OF_RaTG13_AND_THE_7896_CLADE, William Bostick and Yvette Ghannam, 2021; and, https://usrtk.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Latinne-et-al-3.pdf, the Accession Listing for MN312322, the 7896 bat coronavirus, at NCBI, as an inclusion into the SARs-CoV-2 “virus.” This Accession is on Page 77 (of 576) of File #3 of the section “Latinne at al. (2020) and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)”, found here: https://usrtk.org/covid-19-origins/foi-documents-on-origins-of-sars-cov-2-risks-of-gain-of-function-research-and-biosafety-labs/. Yours Truly believes that, since Dr. Shi was undoubtedly taught by Dr. Baric about how to use his other “invention”, the “No-see-um” invisible gene-splicing method for Gain-of-Function experiments (https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jvi.76.21.11065-11078.2002, “Systematic Assembly of a Full-Length Infectious cDNA of Mouse Hepatitis Virus Strain 59”, B. Yount, M.R. Dennison, S.R.Weiss, R.S. Baric; November 2002), this method was used to insert the above-mentioned MP789 Pangolin coronavirus, the 7896 bat coronavirus, and likely other gene codes from other types of coronaviruses, into the SARS-type virus that Dr. Shi was already working on. Yours Truly believes that this (likely not-quite-“finished” enhanced SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) “virus” — this lab-created viral biological weapon (VBW)© was released into the world from the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab in late 2019. An aside: the 7896 bat coronavirus which is also included in the SARS-CoV-2 “virus” (listed as a clade of the HKU2 Rhinolophus bat coronavirus) as Accession Number MN312322 (see above links) — attacks the lungs and has a 50% death rate in humans (Bostickson and Ghannam, 2021, cited above.)

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

Yours Truly turns to the NCBI PubChem entry for the breakdown of what appears to be the “main elements” that Dr. Ralph Baric included in his “invention” of the SARS-CoV-2 “virus” (COVID-19 “virus”) “template virus”, which Patent application was filed in March 2015. The PubChem entry is here: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/patent/US-9884895-B2, “Methods and compositions for chimeric coronavirus spike proteins”, Ralph Baric, Boyd Yount, Sudhakar Agnihothram. The hyperlinked list of elements, chemical compositions, and so forth, is on the right side of this page. Yours Truly clicked on the section “Linked Genes”, and found a gene numbered 5970, called “RELA — RELA proto-oncogene, NF-kB subuit (human).” Below is a screenshot from section 9 “Linked Genes”:

Yours Truly clicked on the 5970 hyperlink. This led to another page, https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/5970. Please see the screenshot, below, of the Title and Summary of this gene:

**** Notice the multiple types cancers this gene, 5970, is involved in the establishment of: ductal carcinoma in situ; lung cancer; lymphoma; renal cell carcinoma; multiple other types of carcinoma; cervical carcinoma in situ. This gene is also involved in the establishment of other types of diseases, including diseases of the prostate. Why was Dr. Ralph Baric splicing gene 5970 into his “invention” of the SARS-CoV-2 “Template virus”?

Yours Truly then clicked on the section 9 “Cell Lines” hyperlink on the 5970 gene page. This took one to: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/5970#section=Cell-Lines, and then clicked on the “COV18” hyperlink. From there, one then clicked on subsection 4, “Diseases.” Please see the screenshot, below, of subsection 4:

That’s correct — High grade ovarian serous adenocarcinoma. Which, again, raises the question: Why was Dr. Ralph Baric inserting gene code pieces from gene 5970, which has multiple connections to potentially causing cancer in the human body, into his SARS-CoV-2 “template virus invention”, US9884895B2? And gene 5970 is only one of dozens of genes that had code pieces inserted into various “permutations” of this “invention”, US9884895B2. Which also means, in Yours Truly’s opinion, that the SARS-CoV-2 “virus” (actually, a viral biological weapon (VBL), see above) can also have the potential to cause cancers of various types in persons who become infected with this viral biological weapon (VBL.)

Yours Truly then went to Page 8 of the BNT162b2 Pharmacokinetics Tabulated Summary report that Pfizer-BioNTech gave to the FDA on 21 January 2021 (https://icandecide.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/125742_S1_M2_26_pharmkin-tabulated-summary.pdf.) Please see the screenshot of Page 8, below:

Look at the BNT162b2 accumulation (assisted by the lipid nanoparticles ALC-0159 and ALC-0315 in BNT162b2) in the OVARIES of the Wistar lab rats 48 hours post-injection: 12.3.

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

What is a “proto-oncogene?” Please see the screenshots, below, from this article: https://www.nature.com/scritable/topicpage/proto-oncogenes-to-oncogenes-to-cancer-883/, Heidi Chial, PhD, 2008:

Yours Truly then went back to gene 5970, RELA — RELA proto-oncogene, NF-kB, subunit (human), and did some more digging. I found this: https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/A0A087x0W8/variant-viewer. There are 448 variants of this gene. Many are listed as “Variant of uncertain significance.” However, for example, Variant 372 causes “Mucocutaneous ulceration, chronic”, and is also listed as “Pathogenic.” Another example: Variant 264 causes “RELA-related disorder” and is also listed as a “Variant of uncertain significance.”

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

All of the foregoing in today’s offering is not to incite a “frisson” of “this is too much information and it’s too detailed.”

All of the foregoing in today’s offering is, instead, to illustrate the “layered permutations” of just ONE of the elements contained in Dr. Ralph Baric’s “template virus” for SARs-CoV-2, which he Patented as US9884895B2 in October 2015 — about a month before he and Dr. Zheng-li Shi (which whom Dr. Baric was working since at least 2013, if not earlier) published their “Bait Circulating Coronavirus” paper of November 2015.

All of foregoing in today’s offering is, instead, to illustrate the fact that the SARS-CoV-2 “virus” itself (which is actually a viral biological weapon (VBW)©) has the potential (either from gene 5970, or from other proto-oncogenes that may be included in the “invention” by Dr. Baric) to cause cancer. This is entirely aside from the fact that the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” can, and do, cause cancer de novo; and/or the aggravation of previous cancer that was under treatment prior to COVID-19; and/or the re-establishment of cancer that was in remission prior to COVID-19 — in “vaccinated” persons.

Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, does not have a “pre-emptive pardon” from the “President Biden auto-pen.” Dr. Ralph Baric’s Gain-of-Function experiments, which ultimately resulted in the Patent US9884895B2, Dr. Baric’s “invention” of the SARS-CoV-2 “template virus”, in 2015, were funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci of the NIAID as far back as the mid-1980s. Dr. Baric has close ties with the Wuhan Institute of Virology and with the United States Defense Department. It is time for Dr. Baric to be brought to account for his activities. Dr. Baric needs to answer questions, under oath, such as: What information, if any, was shared with Pfizer-BioNTech (PfizerUSA), and/or with Moderna, from Patent US9884895B2? What information, if any, was shared with Pfizer-BioNTech (PfizerUSA), and/or with Moderna, regarding the possible inclusion of proto-oncogenes listed in Patent US9884895B2 into these companies’ modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”? What information, if any, was shared with DARPA, BARDA, NIAID, or any other United States government entity, from Patent US9884895B2?

Health Friday 7.31.2026 Open Thread: Dr. Fauci and the Hearing

The free image of a Senate hearing is courtesy of https://www.senate.gov/ 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. Note: AI-generated content in today’s offering will be cited as such. If readers wish to post AI-generated items to today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Special Note for today’s offering: In no way is the content of this post to be construed as diagnosis (medical, legal, or otherwise) of Dr. Anthony Fauci. Yours Truly presents her ideas and opinions only. Thank you.

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

Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases division (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), both of the United States Health and Human Services Department (HHS) of the federal government, went to Capitol Hill on Wednesday 29 July 2026, to testify to a Senate committee hearing chaired by Sen. Dr. Rand Paul (R-KY.) The video of the hearing is here: https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/hearings/testimony-of-anthony-fauci/. Yours Truly commented on this hearing, both while it was in session, and afterwards, here: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/07/29/kmag-daily-thread-20260729-data-centers/. After Dr. Fauci read his “opening statement” to the committee, he spent the rest of the hearing refusing to answer any any questions posed to him by committee hearing members, citing the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment a total of one hundred and eleven times during the hearing in response to questions from committee hearing members. After closing statements were made by various committee hearing members, Sen. Dr. Paul stated that he would seek a vote regarding Contempt of Congress by Dr. Fauci next week, and then adjourned the hearing.

There was extensive media coverage of the committee hearing, and of Dr. Fauci’s repeated refusals to answer questions posed to him by committee hearing members by his invoking of the Fifth Amendment. This coverage either praises Dr. Fauci, or excoriates him. Yours Truly will, instead, focus on three concepts: Fraudulent activity / Lying; Manipulation / Control; and, Mindset (Narcissism, among other aspects.) Some of these aspects appear to present in combination (examples: Lying and Control; Fraudulent Activity and Narcissism.)

Sen. Dr. Rand Paul (R-KY) released multiple entries made by Dr. Anthony Fauci in his “personal diary”, a diary that Dr. Fauci wrote on computers owned by the Federal government. Multiple entries on this “personal diary” conflict with, or contradict, statements made by Dr. Fauci in public, including in sworn testimony before Congress. The “personal diary” entries by Dr. Fauci are here: https://www.paul.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2026.07.26_Tonys-Diary-Package.pdf.

Fraudulent Activity / Lying:

Dr. Fauci “fraudulently claimed” that Ivermectin did not work to prevent or cure COVID-19:

Dr. Fauci lying regarding his “not knowing the authors of the “Proximal Origin” paper”:

Lying and Control:

Please see: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/psyop-19-coverup-dr-faucis-testimony, “PSYOP-19 COVERUP: Dr. Fauci’s Testimony Preview: Conning President Trump, Lying About Lockdowns, Malignant Narcissism, Epstein, Bill Gates, Fatality Rate Fraud, Hydroxychloroquine Suppression & More”, 27 July 2026.

Control:

Dr. Fauci suffered a pulmonary infarction in July 2021, several months after he took the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” (mRNA-1273.) He was treated for this incident. He kept this situation out of public knowledge — when he needed to, in Yours Truly’s opinion, gone public with the situation as an illustration of the dangers of this “vaccine.” Please see: https://kirschsubstack.com/p/tony-fauci-was-vaccine-injured, 30 July 2026. Please see the screenshot of the Summary of Mr. Kirsch’s article, below:

Fraudulent activity, Control, Narcissism:

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) detailing, in the Senate hearing on 29 July, how Dr. Fauci used government time, government resources, and government employees to assist in his being awarded honors; some of which awards included money:

Mindset:

Yours Truly presents these: One: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/sociopath-vs-narcissist, “Sociopath vs. narcissist: What is the difference?”, Amy Murnan, medically reviewed by Lori Lawrenz, PsyD, 30 October 2024. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

And, Two: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/psychopathy/, reviewed by Kaja Perina, 24 October 2025. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

Yours Truly will provide two examples of Dr. Fauci’s mindset, which, in this writer’s opinion, may present as “socio–narcissism verging on possible psychopathy”: First, his experiments on AIDS-infected babies and young children (some of whom were orphans) in New York state. Please see this article, by our good Aubergine, from 2022: https://www.theqtree.com/2022/01/03/who-or-what-killed-all-of-these-children-the-world-deserves-to-know/. There is this link in her article, proving that these experiments did occur, and that babies and children died: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/12/rfk-jr-reporter-found-monument-dead-orphans-tortured-killed-monster-fauci-video/, 20 December 2021.

Second, the experiments on beagle puppies, in which their vocal cords were cut before the dogs were placed in cages to be exposed to sandflies (which would eat them alive): experiments which were allegedly funded through Dr. Fauci: https://insiderpaper.com/fauci-dog-beagles-funding-cage-sandflies/, “Fauci under fire for ‘dog experiments’ in which beagles were kept in cages to be eaten by hungry sandflies {UPDATE: Agency responds]”, Brendan Taylor, 26 October 2021. Please see the screenshot from this article, below, which was the “response” from NIAID on this situation:

In Yours Truly’s opinion, Dr. Anthony Fauci is not a person “who has lost his way”, according to Dr. Peter A. McCullough (https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-guilt-ridden-anthony-fauci, “BREAKING — Guilt-Ridden Anthony Fauci Pleads the Fifth Amendment 111 Times”, 29 July 2026. Dr. Anthony Fauci chose his path. In Yours Truly’s opinion, Dr. Fauci is not “guilt-ridden”: in fact, something quite different: he presents as a person who shows, by his words and deeds, that he has no concept of guilt, no concept of personal responsibility, and no concept of either empathy or compassion.

Health Friday 7.24.2026 Open Thread: HHS Still Funding Gain-of-Function Experiments: on the Avian Influenza Virus; on HIV: and, with the Wuhan Institute of Virology

HHS is Still Funding Gain-of-Function Experiments on the Avian Influenza Virus

Yours Truly begins here: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/hhs-funds-experiments-determining, “HHS Funds Experiments Determining How to Make H5 Influenza More Pathogenic: Journal ‘Science'”, 1 July 2026. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

The paper cited in the Fleetwood article is here: https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adr6632, “Polymerase trapping as the mechanism of H5 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus genes”; Mathis Funk, et al.; 12 March 2026. This paper was Received on 11 July 2024; Resubmitted on 17 July 2025; Accepted on 21 November 2025; and, Published in print on 12 March 2026. This paper was funded, in part, by NIH / NIAID grants: HHSN2722014-00008C; 75N93201C00014; and, 1R01AI177487. These grants were awarded to Ron A.M. Fouchier and to Mathilde Richard. Dr. Richard and Dr. Fouchier work at Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. This raises important questions: One: Why was / is NIH-NIAID funding research performed at a university outside of the United States?; and, Two: Why was / is NIH-NIAID continuing to fund research into making the H5 Avian Influenza virus more dangerous and deadly? Please see the screenshots, below, from the AAAS website (https://www.science.org/, American Association for the Advancement of Science) for this paper:

Then, after Gain-of-Function experiments are performed by Funk, et al., with the furin cleavage site of the H5 Avian Influenza virus, they apparently concluded that this virus can become more pathological. Please see the screenshot, below, from the AAAS website for this paper:

The NIH-NIAID grants for this paper were also solicited by Mathis Funk, the lead author of the paper, who was associated with Erasmus University. Mr. Funk passed away on 28 November 2024, at the age of 34. The paper mentions his passing with the statement that he “left the world too soon.”

Yours Truly did some more digging on the NIH-NIAID 1R01AI177487 grant listed above. In addition to the original grant, Dr. Mathilde Richard was also awarded a “sub-grant”, 1R01AI177487-01, on 1 August 2023, with a “Project end date” of 31 July 2028. Please see: https://reporter.nih.gov/search/qKxmt58hnkKa7rYIA1rSKg/projects. The NIH-NIAID employee who is the “Contact” for this grant is Brooke Allison Bozick, PhD. She is listed as “Program officer, Influenza and Rhinovirus Pathogen Biology and Clinical Research” at https://www.niaid.nih.gov/about/respiratory-disease-branch-contacts. Ms. Bozick has been an employee of HHS (NIH – NIAID) since at least 2019, including work involving CEIRR (Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Response [NIAID].) This raises the question: Why is NIH – NIAID funding the Gain-of-Function work of Dr. Richard all the way up to 31 July 2028?

Yours Truly did some more digging on the HHSSN27220140008C grant listed above. This grant been active since at least 2016. In fact, this grant ALSO funded Gain-of-Function research at the (infamous) Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka lab for research into Avian Influenza at the University of Wisconsin-Madison: https://wisc.edu/h7n9-influenza-is-both-lethal-and-transmissible-in-animal-model-for-flu/, Kelly April Tyrrell, 19 April 2017. The mention of the HHSN grant is at the end of the article.

Yours Truly did some more digging on the NIH-NIAID 75N93021C00014 grant listed above. This grant has been active since at least 2021. In fact, this grant ALSO funded Gain-of-Function research on Avian Influenza at the Kawaoka lab at the University of Wisconsin; at the University of Tokyo; and, at Cairo University, Egypt. Please see: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ebiom.2025.105842, “Susceptibility and shedding in Mx1 and Mx1- female mice experimentally infected with dairy cattle A(H5N1) influenza viruses”, Asim Biswas, et al.; Published 8 July 2025.

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

Now, to another item: it appears that HHS, via NIH-NIAID, is still funding Gain-of-Function research involving personnel connected with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV.) Yes, WIV — where Dr. Zheng-li Shi took the samples of the “enhanced with SHC014 bat coronvirus lab-created SARS-CoV-2 virus “template” that was “invented” and Patented by Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, at his lab at UNC Chapel Hill: for the purpose of FURTHER ENHANCING this “template virus” in order to make MORE PATHOGENIC AND MORE LETHAL. Which SARS-CoV-2 virus was released into the world in late 2019, presumably, as a “lab leak”; and, presumably, before the virus was “finished” via the “enhancement process” at WIV. However, nobody knows for sure whether or not the SARS-CoV-2 virus (that became known as COVID-19) was “finished”, or if it was “still in the finishing process” when it was released. The HHS grants involved are: K08AI183990 (NIH-NIAID; granted in 2024 to the University of Washington, to John K. Bui); R01AI174304 (NIH-NIAID; granted in 2023 to the University of Washington, to Andre Michael Lieber); and, R01HL130040 (HL-NHLBI-NIH-HHS; granted in 2019, with continuing funding, to the University of Washington, to Andre Michael Lieber.)

The paper that was Epublished on 13 March 2026, funded by these grants, is here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymthe.2026.03.018, “In vitro and in vivo base editing of CCR5 in hematopoeitic stem cells confers HIV-1 resistance”, Anna K. Anderson, Chang Li, et al. Chang Li is affiliated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Please see the screenshot of the Abstract from this paper, below:

And, from the paper, the affiliation of Chang Li with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, from the Affiliations and Notes drop-down section:

This raises the question: Why is this research, while worthy and can produce significant positive results, has anyone from the Wuhan Institute of Virology involved?

In summary: the United States government, via HHS (NIH-NIAID) is still using taxpayer money to fund Gain-of-Function research on the Avian Influenza virus in The Netherlands, in Japan, and in Egypt; and, to fund Gain-of-Function research on elements of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) that involves personnel from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. None of this is acceptable.
