“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
Today we conclude the Pennsylvania signers as well as third part of the B. Franklin, Printer and George Whitefield relationship that charted a path that had a lasting effect on America.
Out of all of the sources the more enlightening on this subject has been the book, The Faith and Vision of Benjamin Franklin by Eddie L. Hyatt. I downloaded an inexpensive digital copy from Amazon to reference. The book is concisely written with many well known, legitimate sources. Below there is also a list of some of the less mainline sources other than Wiki, Descendants, historical societies, etc.; that provided bits of interesting information to add to this.
Besides sponsoring regular events at Penn for Whitefield to use the facilities and facilitating other venues for appearances, B had a vision of what life should be like in the colonies.
It all started formulating in his mind due to the following. From B’s autobiography;
“In 1739 there arrived among us from Ireland the Reverend Mr. Whitfield who made himself remarkable there as an itinerant preacher. He was at first permitted to preach in some of our churches, but the clergy, taking a dislike to him, soon refused him their pulpits, and he was obliged to preach in the fields. The multitudes of all sects and denominations that attended his sermons were enormous, and it was a matter of speculation to me, who was one of the number, to observe the extraordinary influence of his oratory on his hearers. It was wonderful to see the change soon made in the manners of our inhabitants. From being thoughtless or indifferent about religion, it seemed as if all the world were growing religious so that one could not walk through the town in an evening without hearing psalms sung in different families of every street.”
The quote below is from Eddie Hyatt out of his book: The Faith & Vision of Benjamin Franklin: How the Skeptical Printer of Philadelphia Returned to His Puritan Roots & the Puritan Vision of a Christian America. Kindle Edition;
Whitefield emphasized that church membership, good works, family pedigree, and position in life were of no value in making one acceptable to God. He pointed out that these were “faulty foundations” upon which many had put their trust. What was necessary, Whitefield preached, was a new birth through faith in Jesus Christ. Although accounts of his meetings often describe the multitudes as standing and listening in rapt silence, accounts also reveal intense emotional responses experienced at times to his preaching, as well as spiritual manifestations, such as weeping, falling and crying aloud to God. On one occasion, after preaching to a huge throng gathered outdoors, Whitfield surveyed the crowd and noted the amazing response.
That statement echoes the words of Jesus Christ in various scriptures. However, just as it did with the Pharisees and Sadducees in the times of Christ, the religious authorities became angry and rejected attempts for Whitefield to preach in “their” churches. That did not deter him as the great outdoors awaited. More from Hyatt’s book;
On one occasion, after preaching to a huge throng gathered outdoors, Whitefield surveyed the crowd and noted the amazing response.
“Look where I would, most were drowned in tears. Some were struck pale as death, others wringing their hands, others lying on the ground, others sinking into the arms of theirfriends and most lifting up their eyes to heaven and crying out to God.“
That right there would be what we hillbillies call sending the Holy Ghost on down…
B was eight years older than Whitefield, but they hit it off as good buddies. George would stay at B’s home when visiting Philadelphia over the next 31 years until George died. He counted on B to assist him with printing his sermons and devotionals along with business matters. He asked advice about the orphanage he wanted to build in Georgia. B would not hear of it, he wanted it built in Philadelphia. Whitefield would not relent and kept preaching to raise money for the purpose. So B said he would not get any money from him.
B told the story that one night his curiosity got the better of him and he slipped in the back of an outdoor event and heard George’s pitch for donations for the planned orphanage. He said he resolved to give him nothing. As Whitefield preached on he wilted under the pressure. Per Hyatt’s book B stated;
“I had in my pocket a handful of copper money, three or four silver dollars, and five pistoles in gold. As he proceeded I began to soften, and concluded to give the copper. Another stroke of his oratory made me ashamed of that, and determined me to give the silver; and he finished so admirably that I emptied my pocket wholly into the collector’s dish, gold and all.”
😂
B got Holy Ghosted.
Ohio Vision
B had a vision for what life in America could be that included Christianity at its core. He proposed to Whitefield that they partner to establish a new colony in Ohio that would adhere to Christian values and be an example for all of the colonies by honoring God throughout its culture. From his letter to Whitefield,
“I imagine we could do it effectually and without putting the nation at too much expense. What a glorious thing it would be, to settle in that fine country a large strong body of religious and industrious people! What a security to the other colonies; and advantage to Britain, by increasing her people, territory, strength and commerce. Might it not greatly facilitate the introduction of pure religion among the heathen, if we could, by such a colony, show them a better sample of Christians than they commonly see in our Indian traders, the most vicious and abandoned wretches of our nation?“
Whitefield had obviously moved B back to his Puritan roots, which would mirror what most of the early settlers in the colonies would have desired. Franklin demonstrated repeatedly that he saw no conflict between faith and public affairs, in fact he stated throughout his life that he viewed it important and preferable for them to operate hand in glove. With the proposed venture with Whitefield, B wanted to finish his life on this final high note, that it would bring him pleasure and he felt certain God would bless it.
It did not happen as desired by B due to distances and complications in the lives of both men before Whitefield passed away in 1770. It also seems God had bigger plans for B over the ensuing two plus decades after George’s death. It was a period when the lessons learned and the inspiration gained from his friendship with Whitefield built a base of understanding to reference that moved him to do extraordinary things on behalf of God and our nation that changed world history forever.
So maybe B’s vision did happen; just on a much grander, God determined scale that began in His timing.
😉
Let’s move on to our last Pennsylvania signer.
John Morton
John Morton was born in 1724 or 1725 in Ridley County, PA of John Sr. and wife Mary (Archer). Both sides of his family originated from the Sweden/Finland area. His father died the year he was born. His mother later married John Sketchley, who was a strong influence on young John’s life as a child. He educated and raised him to be intelligent and moral as he was very involved in the Episcopal church. As an adult he oversaw books and maps as well as surveyed. He married Ann Justis of Chester County and through the years they had three sons and five daughters.
In 1756 Morton was elected as a representative of the Pennsylvania Assembly. After the local sheriff died a decade later, he served in the role for a couple of years before being reelected as a representative. Through the years there he served as a justice of the peace, sheriff, judge in several courts, and associate justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. He was well noted for his common sense in all of his roles.
He was voted to represent the state in the First and Second Continental Congresses. It was his final vote that decided in favor of independence for Pennsylvania and he proudly signed the Declaration. He remained active in the Congress in 1776 and 1777 and later worked with an assigned committee on the formation of the Articles of Confederation. Throughout all of it he remained faithful in attendance and with his actions as a member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church where he is buried. He passed away after falling ill on his farm in April of 1777. Several months later his widow, Ann, fled the area after the British won the Battle of Brandywine. In her haste to reach safety in New Jersey, many of Morgan’s important papers, documents and artifacts were left behind. The British burned them all and destroyed their home, so records were lost that could have added to his story.
John Morton was the first signer of the Declaration of Independence to pass away. His contributions to the independence movement are noteworthy as his vote in support decided the position of one the most influential states in the future republic. He worked tirelessly to bring about organization, common sense, and fairness to the process of governance. He will always be noted for promoting the theme of natural law into our founding documents. We give thanks today for this great American patriot.
Please remember Wolf’s rules for our community. In general that means to be respectful to each other and to pull no shenanigans that your mom might find offensive or otherwise cause jail time. That said, free speech is honored here.
We should all remember Deplorable Patriot and Wheatie as we push forward with the fight. This is NOT over by any means.
Fight! Fight! Fight! Because JUSTICE must be served on those who foisted the “Vax” shit on us. And for all the other things they have done to this country.
“Don’t Tread On Me,” it says. You failed to pay attention to this advice. You went out of your way to do the opposite. You chose to rub our faces in it, imprison those who dared complain, and even to kill our people. Now you shall pay just a tiny fraction of the real price, Ratfuckers.
What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?
RINO scum. Like Murkowski and Collins.
That’s OK. We go around ’em for now.
January 6 Tapes Reminder
OK…I’m sick and tired of reminding you to no effect, Speaker Johnson, so I’ll do the more emotionally satisfying thing and call you a cowardly, lying, fraudulent sack of diarrhetic monkey shit.
Johnson, you are a cowardly, lying, fraudulent sack of diarrhetic monkey shit!
A Caution
Just remember…we might replace the RINO candidates. (Or we might not. The record is mixed even though there is more MAGA than there used to be.) But that will make no difference in the long run if the party officials, basically the Rhonna McDaniels (or however that’s spelled–I suspect it’s RINO), don’t get replaced.
State party chairs, vice chairs, secretaries and so on, and the same at county levels, have huge influence on who ultimately gets nominated, and if these party wheelhorses are RINOs, they will work tirelessly to put their own pukey people on the ballot. In fact I’d not be surprised if some of our “MAGA” candidates are in fact, RINO plants, encouraged to run by the RINO party leadership when they realized that Lyn Cheney (and her ilk) were hopelessly compromised as effective candidates. The best way for them to deal with the opposition, of course, is to run it themselves.
Running good candidates is only HALF of the battle!
Justice Must Be Done.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.
Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

OK now for the fine print.
This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines, here, with an addendum on 20191110.
We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.

Paper Spot Prices
All prices are Kitco Bid/Ask, 3PM MT Friday (at that time the markets close for the weekend).
*The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) is a measure of how much the dollar has inflated. It’s the ratio of the current price of gold, to the number of dollars an ounce of fine gold made up when the dollar was defined as 25.8 grains of 0.900 gold. That worked out to an ounce being $20.67+71/387 of a cent. (Note gold wasn’t worth this much back then, thus much gold was $20.67 71/387ths. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.) Once this ratio is computed, 1 is subtracted from it so that the number is zero when the dollar is at its proper value, indicating zero suckage.

“Clean Sweep.” This means completely dismantling the FDA (the Food and Drug Administration); the NIH (the National Institutes of Health); and, the NIAID (the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases), all of which are divisions of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) — and completely rebuilding them from the top down. Why “Clean Sweep” for these divisions? Because it is becoming more apparent by the week that they are more devoted to using “career” medical bureaucrats/officials, many of whom are “holdovers” from the “Collins / Fauci era” in the NIH and NIAID; they are more devoted to injecting American citizens with the proven-dangerous, proven-deadly COVID-19 “vaccines” than they are to approving readily-available, cheap drugs (such as, Ivermectin) and other therapeutics (such as, Zinc) to prevent or to treat COVID-19 infection; and, they are more devoted to pushing through injectables via “Fast Track” or “accelerated approval” methods, rather than taking the time to fully test and analyze test data. “Completely rebuilding them from the top down” means establishing entirely redesigned divisions that are fully devoted to the betterment of the public health.
Yours Truly presents a transcript of the op-ed published in the Washington Post on 12 August 2025 by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the current Director of the NIH (National Institutes of Health); the op-ed appears here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinons/2025/08/12/nih-mrna-vaccines-jay-bhattacharya/, “Jay Bhattacharya: Why the NIH is pivoting away from mRNA vaccines”, 12 August 2025. Yours Truly provides her personal commentary, which will appear in Bold and surrounded in brackets. (The Washington Post op-ed is behind a paywall; Yours Truly is indebted to Shannon Joy, whose X tweet has the entire article: https://xcancel.com/ShannonJoy/status/1956140133474034025.) Note: Yours Truly will make it clear that the commentary is done with all due respect to Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, MD.
The transcript: “The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ decision to wind down its mRNA vaccine development activities marks a necessary pivot in how we steward public health innovation in vaccines. The right path requires us to consider the inherent strengths and weaknesses of a technology as well as any alternatives, along with public attitudes and experience with the technology. The mRNA platform is promising technology. I do not dispute its potential. In the future, it may yet deliver breakthroughs in treating diseases such as cancer, and HHS is continuing to invest in ongoing research in oncology and other complex diseases.”
[YT: First of all, if HHS is truly going to “wind down” mRNA vaccine development, why is Moderna being allowed to progress to Phase 3 clinical trials of its modRNA “vaccine” against CMV (Cytomegalovirus), mRNA-1647? This “vaccine” contains six different mRNA sequences, two different antigens, the dangerous lipid nanoparticle SM-102 (the same LNP that is in the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, SPIKEVAX), and apparently targets both the IgG immune system cells and the CD4-CD8 cells of the body. Please see: https://doi.org/10.1128/jvi.01603-23, “Characterization of humoral and cellular immunologic responses to an mRNA-based human cytomegalovirus vaccine from a phase 1 trial of healthy adults”, Kai Wu, et al.; J Virol. 2024 Mar 25;18(4):e01603-23. Please refer to Fig. 2 and Fig.4. Secondly, the current modRNA (aka mRNA) COVID-19 “vaccines” have demonstrated that they do not have “inherent strengths”: in fact, they only have what may be called “inherent dangers.” These “inherent dangers” include: altering of the LINE1 Human Liver cell line; replacement of natural Uridine RNA with the lab-created N1-Methylpseudouridine; crossing the Blood-Brain Barrier to attack areas of the brain that are not protected by this barrier (for example, the Pituitary Gland); causing autoimmune attack on heart tissue via aggregation of lymphocytes induced by the COVID-19 “vaccines” in that organ; and, causing infiltration of lymphocytes in lung tissue. Regarding the DNA alteration, and heart and lung damage, caused by the COVID-19 “vaccines”, please see: https://doctors4covidethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/causality-article.pdf, “Vascular and organ damage induced by mRNA vaccines: irrefutable proof of causality”, Michael Palmer, MD, and Sucharit Bhakdi, MD, Slide 9 through Slide 14. Thirdly, why on Earth is oncology (cancer study, diagnosis, and treatment) included in the phrase “and other complex diseases?” Yours Truly calls this a writing mistake; however, one believes someone should have proofread the op-ed for “context or syntax” issues before publication.]
“But as a vaccine intended for broad public use, especially during a public health emergency, the platform has failed a crucial test: earning public trust. No matter how elegant the science, a platform that lacks credibility among the people it seeks to protect cannot fulfill its public health mission.”
[YT: The “public trust” for the COVID-19 “vaccines” was destroyed when it was proven that hundreds of persons who took these injectables passed away from immediate heart attacks induced by them just after being injected; when “vaccinated” persons began to present with myocarditis or pericarditis after being injected; when stillbirths and miscarriages began to be reported among pregnant women who had been injected; and much, much more. And, by the way, the initial modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” rollout in December 2020 was intended for the elderly and for healthcare workers; it was when the “COVID-19 health emergency” was declared in March 2021 that the “vaccines” began to be “mandated” for all persons. “Elegant science?” Does “elegant science” include the kind of “science” that was rushed through the initial EUAs for the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” without proper testing and data analyses?]
“It is critical to understand the development of the mRNA coronavirus vaccines in the context of the very successful Operation Warp Speed launched during the first Trump administration.”
[YT: Does “the development of the mRNA coronavirus vaccines” include the fact that neither Pfizer-BioNTech, nor Moderna, had never previously brought a successful mRNA injectable to market prior to “Operation Warp Speed?” And that Dr. Albert Bourla, DVM, the CEO of PfizerUSA, admitted on video that he had been “convinced” by Pfizer scientists to use the then-new and unproven mRNA technology in a COVID-19 “vaccine?” (10 March 2022, “Albert Bourla on why mRNA technology was “counterintuitive” to producing an effective vaccine”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9_YRw7jBF4.)]
“Operation Warp Speed represented a paradigm shift in how the government should invest in new technologies and solutions and embrace strategic investments in public-private partnerships, innovation in trial design and removal of bureaucratic red tape to allow parallel rather than sequential vaccine development. It produced a new vaccine in record time and also helped develop a successful monoclonal antibody.”
[YT: Really? “Embrace strategic partnerships in public-private partnerships?” What about that “public-private partnership” document between the NIAID and Moderna, which includes development of RNA-based vaccines, and that was filed with the SEC in 2015, several years BEFORE the COVID-19 disaster? That “partnership” is still going on, with patent-ownership sharing, royalty payments sharing, “partnering” in developing new COVID-19 “vaccines”, and so on, until at least 2041. “Innovation in trial design?” — Meaning the “Next Gold Generation Standard”, announced in May 2025, in which lab testing with animals using humane, safe protocols, then progressing to better and safer human-subject testing, may well be replaced with “Petri-dish testing” only” for new “vaccines”? “Parallel vaccine development?” — Meaning that “Universal Vaccine” that’s touted in the “Next Gold Generation Standard?”]
“Unfortunately, the Biden administration did not manage public trust in the coronavirus vaccines, largely because it chose a strategy of mandates rather than a risk-based approach and did not properly acknowledge Americans’ growing concerns regarding safety and effectiveness.”
[YT: So, “risk-based approach?” Like the “risk populations chart” in the “opinion piece” that Dr.Martin Makary and Dr. Vinay Prasad published in the New England Journal of Medicine in May 2025 (https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMsb2506929, “An Evidence-Based Approach to Covid-19 Vaccination”— a chart in which, for example, even healthy pregnant women are considered to be at “risk” for “severe complications from COVID-19” and should get COVID-19 “vaccinated?” And what about the statements about how the “known and potential benefits of the for COVID-19 vaccines outweigh the known and potential risks?” — like the one here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/planning/children/6-things-to-know.html, “6 Things to Know about COVID-19 Vaccination for Children.“]
“Consider the data: In a late 2024 Pew Research Center survey, 60 percent of American adults reported no intention of getting an updated coronavirus mRNA vaccine despite the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s advice that nearly all adults receive yet another dose. As of late April 2025 (the latest data published reported by the CDC), only 13 percent of children between the ages of 6 months and 17 years had received an updated coronavirus vaccine, even though the Biden-era CDC had placed the vaccine on the childhood immunization schedule.”
[YT: It appears that the real reason behind why “only 13 percent of children between the ages of 6 months and 17 years had received an updated coronavirus vaccine” is that their parents or guardians have concluded that these “vaccines” are more dangerous than helpful. And how did these adults come to this conclusion? Because of the news spreading that these “vaccines” cause myocarditis / pericarditis in children; because of the news spreading that these “vaccines” do not prevent COVID-19 infection, but instead actually damage the “vaccinated” person’s immune system, making it vulnerable to COVID-19 infection; and so on. In Yours Truly’s opinion, the COVID-19 “vaccines” have no place in the CDC Childhood Immunization Schedule whatever — due to the foregoing and other reasons.]
“In 2021, the Biden administration’s HHS spent nearly a billion dollars on a campaign supporting the coronavirus vaccine, the most expensive pharmaceutical campaign in history. The government spent the money on a vast number of TV, radio and internet spots, which misinformed the American public that the vaccine would protect them from contracting and spreading covid. Nevertheless, just a few years later, less than half the U.S. adult population will heed the CDC’s guidance. Some outlets have blamed the poor coronavirus mRNA vaccine uptake on poor messaging or “anti-vax” counter-messaging. But the Biden administration made suppression of speech — and a mandate for all on the vaccines — into a priority.”
[YT: Perhaps Dr. Bhattacharya should look at the FDA Package Insert for the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, COMIRNATY (Pfizer-BioNTech), section 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE. The Package Insert is here: https://www.fda.gov/media/151707/download. Notice that the FDA officially states that COMIRNATY is “to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19.)” Is the FDA “spreading misinformation?”
“The failure was thus not a communications problem. It is a trust problem due to the Biden administration’s scientific overreach, public pressure and, frankly, arrogance.”
[YT: Does this mean that “the new FDA”, and the “Next Generation Gold Standard”, and the “accelerated approval” of “vaccines” that may be lab-created in Petri-dishes will somehow magically restore public trust?]
“In addition to the trust problem, the mRNA technology has special biological features that make it different from other vaccines in that it (ideally) instructs our cells to produce proteins that subsequently invoke an immune response. To do so with complete confidence about vaccine safety and efficacy requires an exact understanding of dosage, biodistribution and off-target effects. Unfortunately, we fall short in all three. We lack clarity on how much antigen each mRNA molecule produces, where in the body the mRNA product winds up, how long it stays in the body, and whether unintended proteins are created.”
[YT: Unfortunately, this paragraph, in Yours Truly’s opinion, “has more holes than a Swiss cheese.” First: the mRNA “vaccines” do instruct the cells of the “vaccinated” person to “invoke an immune response”: that “response”, among other things, causes multiple types of autoimmune attack within the COVID-19 “vaccinated” person’s body — for example, in the heart (please refer above to the article by Doctors For COVID Ethics.) Second: Perhaps Dr. Bhattacharya would like to read this report, which Pfizer-BioNTech gave to the FDA in January 2021, regarding the biodistribution of BNT162b2 (FDA-approved in 2022 as COMIRNATY.) The report is here: https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/125742_S1_M2_pharmkin-tabulated-summary.pdf, “MODULE 2.6.5. PHARMACOKINETICS TABULATED SUMMARY.” Yours Truly has included images of Page 7 and Page 8 of this report, which are the Biodistribution Tables for BNT162b2. (The BNT162b2 used in this experiment is the same one that was granted the initial FDA for use in the United States in December 2020.) Third: Stephanie Seneff, PhD, and Greg Nigh, wrote back in 2021 about the unintended consequences of the mRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” creating “unintended proteins.” Their paper is here: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Worse-Than-the-Disease-Reviewing-Some-Possible-of-Seneff-Nigh/, “Worse Than the Disease? Reviewing Some Possible Unintended Consequences of the mRNA Vaccines Against COVID-19”, 16 June 2021, International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice and Research 2(1), May 10,2021 Page 389 – 430. The point is: there is an “exact understanding” of multiple aspects regarding the mRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” already.]
“From a regulatory perspective, getting approval for a vaccine with such inherent uncertainties should be difficult.”
[YT: Agreed— except that the “new FDA” is doing exactly that already (such as the recent FDA “approval” without any human trials testing of the “2025-2026 Formula COVID-19 Vaccines” by Pfizer-BioNTech, by Moderna, and by Novavax.)]
“Still, I do not believe the mRNA vaccines caused either mass harm on the one hand or saved 14 million lives on the other. Those estimates swing wildly based on speculative modeling, not concrete evidence. A recent modeling study conluded that the global coronavirus vaccination campaign saved 2.5 million lives from 2020 to 2024, mainly among the elderly.”
[YT: “Still I do not believe the mRNA vaccines caused either mass harm…” Really, Dr. Bhattacharya? Did you read through the OpenVAERS website? (https://openvaers.com/) Have you read through the thousands of actual reports of persons who took a COVID-19 “vaccine” and then either died from the injection, or had serious medical issues afterwards from the injection? Are you saying that these reports are “wildly based on speculative modeling?” Are you saying that these reports are not “concrete evidence?” Are you dismissing the extensive work of Ed Dowd, who analyzes statistical reports of claims from insurance companies, claims that have skyrocketed since the COVID-19 “vaccine” rollout in 2021? https://phinancetechnologies.com/, then click on the “Our Projects” PDF brochure on the webpage to find the “Current Projects” section, then click on any of the green arrows.]
“The scientific controversy over the vaccine’s effect on mortality rages on. Science isn’t propaganda agenda. It’s humility.”
[YT: Real science is truth. There isn’t a “controversy” about the “vaccine’s effect on mortality” — the COVID-19 “vaccines” have increased mortality across the board and across the world. Have you read Steve Kirsch’s Substack, Dr. Bhattacharya? (https://kirschsubstack.com/). Mr. Kirsch’s Substack has many articles that quote studies which show that the COVID-19 “vaccines” increase mortality across the board. However, since Mr. Kirsch is not a medical professional, that removes him from “credibility” in the medical professional world, as far as the NIH is concerned? It doesn’t matter that Mr. Kirsch makes his living from collecting and analyzing data (financial and medical)?]
“And when public health officials stopped communicating with humility, we lost much of the public, an absolute necessity for any vaccine platform.”
[YT: Actually: It’s when public health officials withheld the truth about the dangers and the deadliness of the COVID-19 “vaccines” (which the FDA knew about back in early 2021 — please see here: https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf, “5.3.6 CUMULATIVE ANALYSIS OF POST-AUTHORIZATION ADVERSE EVENT REPORTS OF PF-07302048 (BNT162B2) RECEIVED THROUGH 28-FEB-2021.” Please go to the APPENDIX 1. LIST OF ADVERSE EVENTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST section.) — and the public had to find out the truth themselves — that public health officials “lost much of the public.”]
“I am not here to litigate the past. I am here to chart a better path forward. That is why the NIH, under the leadership of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is investing in new vaccine technologies based on whole-virus inactivated vaccines, which offer a broader immune response and have a longer track record of safety and public acceptance.”
[YT: So, here, apparently, is the “kernel” of the op-ed. Dr. Bhattacharya is not interested in anything related to how dangerous and deadly the current types of COVID-19 “vaccines” have been, and still are. “Let bygones be bygones and just move on” seems to the situation. Not so fast, Doctor. And that “whole-virus inactivated vaccine” scheme that is central to the “Next Generation Gold Standard?” The “Universal Vaccine?” Which, according to the “Next Generation Gold Standard” ethos, may be developed in Petri-dishes in federal government-based facilities only? And the PATENT for which “Universal Vaccine” is owned by the current Acting Director of NIAID, Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger? (https://www.techtransfer.nih.gov/tech/tab-3388)]
“We are continuing the Operation Warp Speed model of investing in technology with the most potential to help Americans.”
[YT: And, will this “continued” Operation Warp Speed model again be done in such a way that important information is deliberately withheld from President Trump47, as was the case with the original Operation Warp Speed in President Trump’s first term?]
“We will move forward with scientific rigor, transparency, and humility. At the NIH, we will fund promising research based not on hype, but on evidence. And I will continue to use my platform to communicate candidly in public conversations where debate and disagreement are welcomed.”
[YT: “Humility” is always a good thing. So is TRUTH.]
“We are entering a new era of public health, grounded not in wishful thinking or performative consensus, but in open inquiry and respect for the American people’s intelligence. The only to rebuild trust is to earn it — one honest conversation at a time.”
[YT: The “one honest conversation at a time” must include the honest admission by the NIH / NIAID / FDA / CDC, that the entire COVID-19 “vaccine” disaster could have been prevented through FDA approval of using re-purposed items to prevent or to treat COVID-19 infection: Ivermectin, Hydroxycholorquine, Doxycycline, Zinc and Vitamin D supplementation. There are plenty of peer-reviewed, published scientific papers which prove that these work. Instead, the FDA, TO THIS DAY, still refuses to approve the use of these items to prevent or to treat COVID-19. Can you explain why this is still the case, Dr. Bhattacharya?]
In the next two parts we take a walk back in time to the first half of the 1700’s in England and then back across the pond to the colonies. We need to establish the influence one fiery preacher of the Gospels had in both England and the colonies as well as on one B. Franklin, Printer among millions of others who heard the preaching. Yes – millions. Per numerous historical accounts George Whitefield preached to over 10 million people during his years on the planet. It is believed over 2 million people accepted Christ from his efforts during this time with most of that number within America’s population.
This discussion of Whitefield will help us better understand not only B and his personal beliefs, but establish why he and that preacher friend of his was so important to our independence and success as a nation. If you are unaware of the history and the seeds that were planted leading up to the patriot movement’s acts of rebellion, you may not grasp the full importance of what the Declaration of Independence states. Despite the anti-Christian recency bias we find today, America would not be America without Christianity. It is a cornerstone of our foundation as a nation. From the pilgrims forward it has guided our principles and approach to relations domestically as well as with the rest of the world.
George Whitefield was born in 1713 in Gloucester, England. His parents kept an inn there and he was the fifth of seven children. His father died when he was two years old. As he aged he helped his mother with the inn. Also as he grew older he discovered he had a passion for acting. However, the family had no money for him to continue his education. So he became a servitor to be able to attend the University of Oxford. This involved him becoming a servant doing simple basic living chores for staff and students there in exchange for free tuition.
George wanted to do good works and obey God, but had not yet fully understood the salvation offered by acceptance of Christ. That all changed when he read the book, The Life of God in the Soul of Man. Finally realizing he could not earn God’s favor by doing good works, he accepted Christ as his personal savior and was converted. He realized that all mankind has sinned against God’s will for us and that he needed God’s grace in the person of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice. He accepted that this righteousness of Christ was then imputed to all who believed and accepted, thereby creating a new heart and nature that willingly desired to serve God.
We hillbillies call it taking off the old coat and putting on the new. Hi there, Wolf!
After Whitefield’s conversion the Bishop of Gloucester ordained him a Deacon in the Church Of England. He began preaching one week after his ordination. He soon took to preaching the Word of God wherever the people were since the Church of England did not give him a church. He was disappointed, but it did not deter him and as a result he went to the parks and fields to reach the people who did not go to church.
Soon, America and Great Britain would never be the same again. However, there was a friend/foe relationship with another major evangelical contemporary of that period who was educated in the same university in the same general time frame as George.
John Wesley and George Whitefield
Rather than summarize this relationship, I am going to post a link below to a short story about the two. In this part I would prefer to avoid a discussion about the issue that divided them – Calvinism versus Arminianism. The truth is that I personally believe elements of both of these Christian doctrines. At that time it was an extremely divisive issue within the clergy. It drove a wedge in the relationship of Wesley and Whitefield. There are letters to each other available for review online that are heart-wrenching. One I read from Whitefield to Wesley sounds like Paul’s reproach of Peter that we read in his letter in scripture. Just know that the two reconciled late in life, basically agreeing to disagree, as should all of us who allow a dividing doctrine to infest our hearts.
The common theme of the two was that they went to the people in both England and the colonies with the intent to bring the message of salvation in Christ as well as providing for the least of these. Both were active in ministry in England prior to going to the colonies. Both were religious until experiencing a time when they found their personal hearts strangely warmed by Christ, a situation and understanding that many believers would call being born again. Both sought for all the experience of seeking Christian perfection as a life long worthy endeavor.
Being “born again” is a real thing. It happened to me.
The Fields Were Ripe For Harvest
By 1738, Whitefield felt the call to go to Georgia in the colonies to minister to orphans there after an unsuccessful, despondent Wesley returned to England at the same time. George began preaching at Christ Church in Savannah, which had been founded by Wesley previously. The Wesley brothers (John and Charles) were not all that pleased with their own results in that colony as they were met with much resistance. Whitefield felt the opposite. He embraced the people and the mission. His passion for the orphans was legendary. He solicited funds and opened three schools, one of which was for girls. He spent every available moment preaching the Word throughout the region. His bullhorn like voice could be heard a mile away, so he was very effective with outdoor assemblies where thousands would attend each time.
Seven months later he decided to return to England and arrived there months later after a very perilous voyage. Not long after arrival he was ordained a priest in the Church of England. After all he was willing to do and had accomplished he believed churches would be opened for him to preach, but the opposite was true. As a man of the people growing up in a lower status he was not welcomed in the pulpits of establishment churches. He made the best of it, preaching wherever he was welcomed. His presence was greatly appreciated when he preached in coal country where 10,000 people at a time would come to hear him speak. What an amazing sight and sound it would have been there to witness thousands standing to sing hymns and praise the Lord during the times he spoke. It was said that the singing could be heard some two miles away.
His largest successes in reaching the people came when preaching in a large, open tract of land known as the Moorfields. He set no schedule for doing so, but no matter whether he preached in the early morning or at night, thousands would come to listen and participate. One morning 20,000 came and later that evening the same day some 35,000 were there to hear him. Not all appreciated what he had to say. He once said, “I was honored with having stones, dirt, rotten eggs and pieces of dead cats thrown at me.” 😂 During one event, 80,000 people came to hear him preach 1.5 hours.
Yet, he was only 25 years old during those days. Wow.
Unfortunately his popularity with the masses disappointed the establishment and his bishop denounced him by August 1739. So, he headed back to the colonies with donations for his planned orphanages. He arrived in Philadelphia in late October and began preaching there. During the short time he was there he preached to tens of thousands of colonists at at time. It was during one of those times he first met B. Franklin, Printer.
His intent was always to return to Georgia and establish the orphan ministry there, but his next stop was New York where there was a similar response to his preaching. He stayed a short time before preaching his way down the Atlantic coast, traveling by horseback, until he finally arrived in Savannah in January 1740. He then went about building the orphanage. By September he was sailing back north to the New England area to begin preaching there. It was in this period that historians state our country’s first “great awakening” occurred.
The great American evangelist,Jonathon Edwards, had been preparing the area for revival for some time before Whitefield. When George arrived, it all broke loose. He was invited to speak by colonial governors and colleges such as Harvard. The places would become so crowded they had to turn people away. This revival lasted 1.5 years before Whitefield returned to England again. The Christian seeds had been planted that would eventually lead to our founding as a nation.
Whether you the reader personally believe in Christianity or not; this historical truth cannot be altered by those seeking to rewrite history or introduce counter narratives. The changes in mind and hearts of We the People in those days flowed into our founding documents that have governed our nation for 250 years. Within those documents We the People acknowledge God’s providence. The law itself is largely in alignment with Biblical principles. We the People of those days cut a forever deal with the Almighty. As has been proven in our nation’s history, any turning from it by leaders or We the People will result in great angst and even violence as discipline. We just need to stop being the prodigal son as a nation and start doing God’s will. Back to Whitefield…
Upon his arrival in England he learned that his friend John Wesley had turned from the Calvinistic Methodism that both embraced as younger preachers. As a result they went their separate ways. Whitefield’s base of preaching moved back to the Moorfields and a tabernacle was built, however, he traveled throughout Great Britain preaching as requested. While in Wales he met his future wife, Elizabeth, a widow. They married and had one son in 1743, who passed away as a four month old baby.
He made seven trips in total to America before passing away in Massachusetts some two hours after preaching before thousands in 1770. His words and presence always sparked an emotional response from those who heard him. Again, the response would be negative at times. There was one occasion he was beaten badly with a cane by a deranged man and other times when he was stoned both in England and in the colonies. Throughout it all he never lost his fervor for bringing God’s Word.
At this point we will conclude until next time with some of his interactions with B, a key founding father with whom he never lost contact and cared deeply about. It is now time to discuss another signer from Pennsylvania.
James Wilson
With James Wilson we have another brilliant attorney and associate justice to the Supreme Court as a founding father who served nobly only to fall victim to seeking riches in land speculation with excessive debt at the end of his life. It sounds like a familiar story with decisions and a similar fate that awaited another previous discussed founder, James Morris.
James Wilson was born in Fife, Scotland in 1742, the middle child of seven in a hard working farming family of the Presbyterian faith. His father rented the land he farmed. At age 15 he entered, studied and graduated from the University of St. Andrews. He followed that with studies at Edinburgh and Glasgow without graduating. In 1765 he emigrated to the colonies at New York in the middle of the Stamp Act controversy and soon moved to Philadelphia. He brought with him letters of introduction that enabled him to receive a job tutoring and teaching at the College of Philadelphia (Penn). While there he proceeded to study law under highly respected John Dickinson. For his work at the school he received an honorary Masters of Arts and later in life, a LL.D. Two years after arrival in 1767 he earned admission to the bar and established a law practice in Reading, PA, where he became very successful. In 1771 he married Rachel Byrd and they had six children together.
The aftermath of the Stamp Act encouraged him to deeply study the legal relationship between Great Britain and the colonies. Taxation without representation was a deal killer as far as Wilson was concerned, so he published his position on the subject. As he continued to research he concluded there was very little basis for the cause of independence for the colonists, yet, there was a recognition that all colonists were citizens of Great Britain with equal rights as residents. As a result in his view the acts Parliament took that related to the colonies were illegal due to the colonists lack of equal representation in governance in the same manner as citizens located in Great Britain.
This legal approach was utilized when the Declaration of Independence was drafted. It called out the King for misconduct as a result as we can see from the wording in the document. Wilson published this legal interpretation in 1774. What happened next is best described by this quote from the Descendants site;
Wilson’s language adopting the doctrine of popular sovereignty and natural rights foreshadowed the content of the Declaration of Independence two years later, as indicated by an early paragraph:
All men are, by nature, equal and free: no one has a right to any authority over another without his consent: all lawful government is founded on the consent of those who are subject to it: such consent was given with a view to endure and to increase the happiness of the governed, above what they could enjoy in an independent and unconnected state of nature. The consequence is that the happiness of the society is the first law of every government.
Seems we have seen that content phrased into our Declaration of Independence. But who knew James Wilson was the primary source? Not this guy.
Later in 1774, Wilson was made head of the committee of correspondence at Carlisle and was elected to the first Provincial Conference at Philadelphia. In January 1775, he was a member of the Convention of the Province and in May joined the Continental Congress. A year later in June 1776 as the Congress contemplated Richard Henry Lee’s resolution for independence, Wilson sensed the Congressional members were not yet ready for an affirmative vote as the states were split seven for and five against at that point. He voted for a delay with other key members. After more spirited discussions, three weeks later the vote was held. He, John Morton, and our boy B voted for it, which put Pennsylvania in the for independence column by a vote of 3-2.
After approval and signatures, they quickly moved toward the establishment of state constitutions. Wilson found himself on the wrong side of the issues in Pennsylvania, so he was removed from Congress in 1777. In addition to his return to the law practice, from which he assisted many loyalists, he became an advocate general for France for a handful of years. He was also involved in the formation of the Bank of North America with Robert Morris in 1780 that we addressed in that part. This bank formation provided a much needed funding source for our young nation’s treasury.
Wilson returned to Congress when conservatives assumed more power over state affairs in 1782. He served in it until 1787 when it came time for the Constitutional Convention. His wife had passed away the previous year, so all of his efforts went toward the work.
While at the Convention he played a major role as a framer of the document and was considered by many to be the most knowledgeable lawyer in the group. He was a prominent speaker in the assembly. He continued stressing his emphasis on natural rights within the proposed law. With groups opposing each other regarding election of the President by popular vote (Wilson supported) or legislative vote, Wilson proposed the Electoral College that is now used. At first the idea was rejected in favor of a legislative vote, however, those supporters could not agree on the terms. With James Madison and Gouverneur Morris as strong supporters of Wilson’s proposal, a compromise was reached in the committee incorporating an acceptable version of the Electoral College into the Constitution.
After this work Wilson was selected by Washington to be an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court in 1789. He served until his death from a stroke brought on by malaria in 1798. In 1790 he also became the first law professor in the history of the College of Philadelphia/Penn. In 1793 he married Hannah Gray. They had a child together who passed away at age three. Although Wilson claimed to be anti-slavery, he had a slave for most of his adult life. Hannah requested the man’s release and in 1794 he did so.
However, this last decade of Wilson’s life was tumultuous. He fell victim to the same temptation of Robert Morris through excessive land speculation. He owed hundreds of thousands of dollars on land deals, but would not stop buying more until he became insolvent. He was briefly jailed in debtor’s prison in New Jersey before his son paid the related debt off. He spent the last year of his life running away from other creditors and ended up dying in Edenton, NC in poverty. He was initially interred there before his remains were removed and brought back to the Christ Churchyard in Philadelphia where other founders are interred.
James Wilson as a founding father is another man who is not typically discussed. However, he left a long lasting positive imprint on our nation through his law career and particularly with the Constitution. We remain greatly appreciative of his patriotic service to our country.

God is in Control . . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . . Keep Looking Up
Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.
“This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn nor weep.” . . . “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Support Israel . . . or Not?
Christians should definitely support the nation of Israel. We must remember that Israel, the nation, is very special to God. We read in Deuteronomy 7:6-8 these words: “For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your forefathers that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.”
God’s eternal purpose is to bless the world through Israel. Already He has done so in measure, for “salvation is from the Jews” (John 4:22), but the fullness of future blessing is indicated in the wondrous promise of Isaiah 27:6: “In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit.”
The declaration that “salvation is from the Jews” suggests our immeasurable debt to Israel. All that we have worth having has come to us through the Jews. Our Bible is a Jewish Book, and our Savior is a Jewish Savior. Let us never forget to pray for God’s chosen people. It is true that Israel is currently in rebellion against God because of their rejection of Christ. The nation is a secular, unbelieving (as to the claims of Scripture and their Messiah, Jesus Christ) nation; but “…at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace” (Romans 11:5). Some Jews are being saved and are becoming members of the body of Christ through faith in their Messiah.
Jews are, biblically speaking, the “chosen people of God” and dearly loved by Him. Another reason for Christians to support the nation of Israel is because of the Abrahamic Covenant. We read of God’s promise in Genesis 12:2-3, “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you” (see also Genesis 27:29; Numbers 24:9).
From the biblical declarations of God’s love and care for His chosen people, the nation of Israel, and from the history of nations being destroyed because of their evil dealings with God’s chosen people, the Jews, Christian believers should give support to the chosen people of God. This is not to say that we necessarily support the methods they use in their relationships with the Arab nations. The Bible warned that conflict would always characterize the relations between the descendants of Isaac and Ishmael. Sadly, this conflict will continue until Jesus comes back to judge the nations and sets up His 1,000-year reign of peace on earth. We must look at the “big picture” with a biblical worldview. While we do not have to support everything Israel does as a nation, we most definitely should support Israel’s right to exist. God will fulfill His promises and covenants with Israel. God still has a plan for Israel. WOE to anyone who seeks to defeat that plan; “whoever curses you I will curse” (Genesis 12:3).

Health Friday is a series devoted to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering is related, in part, to the disaster of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons who have contracted injures, illnesses, or disabilities, induced or aggravated by the COVID-19 “vaccines” that were injected into their bodies; and, to the memory of all persons who have passed away from the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” that were injected into their bodies.
There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for any AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except for perhaps AI-generated images in any of the linked URLs below. If readers wish to post any AI-generated content in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.
There are two sections to today’s Special Report offering: the first section, regarding the now-proven linkage of COVID-19 “vaccine boosters” to increases in cancer and in general mortality; the second section, regarding what appears to be the potential emergence of the “next plandemic” in Communist China. Please bear with Yours Truly: one does not want to “weary by recitals”, as the Duc de Saint-Simon once wrote — but there is a lot of information, multiple screenshots, and so on. The evolving knowledge regarding the disaster called COVID-19 (the virus itself, and the “vaccines”) is gaining speed with each passing day. This evolving knowledge base is important to understand in light of the developments regarding the new information about the “Chikungunya outbreak” currently in China, and which is apparently spreading to other countries (shades of the original COVID-19 virus itself outbreak in China.)
First section, the linkage between COVID-19 “booster vaccines” with increases in cancer and in general mortality. COVID-19 “vaccine boosters” means any injection of a “latest version” of a COVID-19 “vaccine.” This includes the FDA- approved 2025-2026 “new formula COVID-19 vaccine versions” of the Pfizer-BioNTech modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, COMIRNATY; of the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, SPIKEVAX; and, of the Novavax COVID-19 “vaccine”, NUVAXOVID.
Yours Truly begins here: https://slaynews.com/news/renowned-oncologist-sounds-alarm-cancer-deaths-now-surging-among-covid-boosted/, “Renowned Oncologist Sounds Alarm: Cancer Deaths Are Now Surging Among Covid-Boosted”, by Frank Bergman, 6 August 2025. There is an embedded video statement by Prof. Dr. Angus Dalgleish (St. George’s, University of London.) Dr. Dalgleish warns, in no uncertain terms, that it is the suppression of T-cell immune cells in the body of the COVID-19 “vaccine boosted” that is causing the surge of cancer among these persons. Please see the screenshot from the Slay News article, below:
The paper referenced above is here: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6899448/v2, “Factors contributing to the sharp rise in excess mortality in Japan since 2021”, Atsushi Takahashi, 17 July 2025. This paper is a pre-print. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below. They are: portions of the Results section; Figure 4; and, Figure 9:
The identifier names are those of the Prefectures in Japan that were studied. Even with taking other factors into consideration (examples: the size and population of the various Prefectures; the number of adults in age brackets in the Prefectures; whether or not a Prefecture was “rural” in character and location, as compared to “urban”), it is clear that the increase in mortality is tied to an increased amount of COVID-19 “vaccine boosters” that were administered.
The peer-reviewed paper on the Japan study is here: https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers17122006, “Repeated COVID-19 Vaccination as a Poor Prognostic Factor in Pancreatic Cancer: A Retrospective, Single-Center Cohort Study”, Makoto Abue, et al., 16 June 2025.
Yours Truly has written extensively for the board here regarding the damage / destruction of the natural immune system of the person who takes COVID-19 “vaccines.” These injectables were designed to attack, damage / destroy the CD4 – CD8 immune system cells. These injectables were designed to attack, damage / destroy the IgG3 immune system “fighter” cells, while at the same time, fostering the increase of IgG4 immune system “tolerate and never clear” cells. This damage / destruction increases with each injection of a modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, including injections of the “latest formula version” of said “vaccines”, which includes the “2025-2026 Formula versions” of said “vaccines” (COMIRNATY [Pfizer-BioNTech]; SPIKEVAX [Moderna]; and, NUVAXOVID[Novavax.])
The “Seneff and Nigh” paper of 10 May 2021 discusses how “immune system imprinting” in the the body of persons who take the COVID-19 “vaccines” have the potential to result in what the authors call “unintended consequences.” The paper is available here: https://dpbh.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/dpbhnvgov/content/Boards/BOH/Meetings/2021/SENEFF-1.PDF, “Worse Than the Disease? Reviewing Some Possible Unintended Consequences of the mRNA Vaccines Against COVID-19”, Stephanie Seneff and Greg Nigh; International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research 2(1), May 10, 2021, Page 38-79. Please see the screenshots from this article, below. They are: the Abstract; the “Unprecedented” box; and, Figure 2.
Second section, regarding the potential for the “next plandemic” to come from Communist China. This has to do with the current emergence of mosquito-borne Chikungunya infections in several areas of China, which has resulted in various government-enforced measures. There is also an ** interesting connection ** to the United States involved in this situation.
What is Chikungunya? It is a virus transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of (usually) the Aedes aegypti or the Aedes albopictus species. (As an aside: female mosquitos of these species can also transmit Dengue fever via bites.) The virus that is transmitted causes joint pain and fever; these can progress to severe. Most people infected with Chikungunya, however, make a full recovery. The virus is an RNA alphavirus. Please see: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/25083-chikungunya; there is a screenshot from this article, below:
Two recent articles regarding the Chikungunya outbreak in China: the first, here: https://jessicar.substack.com/p/the-new-pending-plandemic-is-it-scheduled, “The new pending “plandemic” — is it scheduled for November?”, by Jessica Rose, PhD, 12 August 2025. Dr. Rose makes it clear that the “alphavirus + saRNA-LNP platform” (self-amplifying RNA + lipid nanoparticles “vaccine” platform) is based on the VEEV alphavirus (Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus.) Please see the screenshots from her article, below:
**** Note the mention of immune system issues that are induced in persons who are COVID-19 “vaccinated”, and how this can potentially severely complicate any infection by Chikungunya.
The second article is here: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/psyop-25-scamdemic-update-chinese, “PSYOP-25 SCAMDEMIC UPDATE: Chinese Authorities Mandating Blood Tests, Releasing Lab Mosquitoes to Fight Chikungunya Outbreak”, 13 August 2025. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:
The founder of the “mosquito lab” in Guangzhou is Dr. Zhiyong Xi. Please see the screenshot below from the above link:
Which work, at least in part, is being funded by NIAID (division of NIH — both divisions part of HHS.)
Which begs the following questions: WHY is Dr. Zhiyong XI still doing mosquito research in the United States if he founded a mosquito study lab in Communist China? WHY is Dr. Zhiyong Xi’s research at Michigan State University being funded, at least in part, by the NIH / NIAID?
There are two “FDA-approved vaccines” against Chikungunya: IXCHIQ, and VIMKUNYA. BOTH of these “vaccines” were FDA-approved under “accelerated approval” methods. Please see the screenshots, below, from the Package Inserts for these injectables. First, from the Package Insert for IXCHIQ (https://ixchiqhcp.com/PI-new.pdf):
Note the presence of Aluminum Hydroxide as an adjuvant in VIMKUNYA.
NOTE THAT THE “EXACT MECHANISM OF PROTECTION’ HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED FOR EITHER IXCHIQ OR FOR VIMKUNYA. In other words, the United States government (via the FDA) is fine with injecting people with these “vaccines” WITHOUT THE FDA KNOWING THE EXACT MECHANISMS OF PROTECTION FOR EITHER OF THEM. What are the “CHIKV-specific immune responses” that these injectables supposedly elicit?
And, by the way, both IXCHIQ and VIMKUNYA can be “shed” onto newborn children if the expectant mother is sick with a virus (this is called viremia) at the time of delivery. A pregnant female who takes either one of the above “vaccines” runs the risk of contracting “viral viremia.” Neither IXCHIQ, nor VIMKUNYA have had proper testing for potential effects on pregnant females, their fetuses, or their newborns (section 8.1 Pregnancy in either Package Insert.)
All of the above begs the following questions: Does HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., know about these Chikujgunya “vaccines”? Does he know that the FDA approved them under “accelerated approval” methods? Does he understand that the FDA does NOT know the “exact mechanism of protection” for either IXCHIQ or VIMKUNYA? Does Dr. Martin Makary (FDA Commissioner) know about this situation? Do either Sec. Kennedy, Jr., or Dr. Makary know that “career FDA types” in the CBER division signed the FDA Approval Letters for IXCHIQ (signed by R. Douglas Pratt, MD, 6 August 2025) and for VIMKUNYA (signed by David C. Kaslow, MD, 14 February 2025)?
Yours Truly will again emphasize that it is critically important for all persons, whether COVID-19 “vaccinated” or not, to follow some type of COVID-19 spike protein mitigation / prophylaxis protocol. It is also critically important that all persons, whether COVID-19 “vaccinated” or not, to do all they can to build and maintain their general health, and the health of their immune system, so as to be in the best shape possible.
As our Kal continues to accurately say and which has become a code statement on here, “Trust Trump”. Today’s opener is dedicated to the economic reasons of why we should do that. We will be back next week to resume the Declaration signers.
Many of you may be like me. I only trust the Lord completely, then wifey, and down the line. The first two have earned my complete trust; I go down with the ship with them. As for the topic of trusting Trump, observations and experience have taught me that he is outstanding and fully trustworthy in many specific areas. None of us are perfect and everybody will have their own opinions on any weaknesses President Trump has demonstrated he has in the past. This latter point is not the purpose of this opener. This is about how we finally have a POTUS who is executing a plan that will take the rest of the world off our backs.
My first piece of advice is to ignore anything the main stream pundits say as well as many politicians who are stuck in the past. There is no modern day reference on which to base their antiquated analysis that will adequately explain what is happening. Which is exactly why they are astounded they are so wrong and POTUS Trump has been so right about his economic plans including the use of tariffs. President Trump has not only beat them at the game, he changed the rules to it without them grasping he was doing it. The following article summarizes it well.
In my opinion we should Trust Trump in many areas in addition to economic matters. There is also his leadership with the illegals invasion, strategic military actions, world peace, law and order, real estate usage, natural resources, world leadership, jobs, education, political endorsements… well, most things relating to being POTUS of the greatest country on earth.
Brave New Economic World
We can see that the pundits and pseudo economists proved they did not know didly about what they were opining about. But Diddley knows,
The Alpha is back in charge in America. You know it is true. 😀
As you can see there is a major reason why The Lion said “tariffs” may be his favorite word. By the time this opener posts, he will have negotiated nearly $20 trillion of investment commitments into America. The results from it all will be incredible. With it he is authorizing and EPA is fast tracking approval of electrical power plant generation on site of the projects that need it that are built and owned by the investing company. Do you fully realize what that does? It means power generation for many manufacturing companies will gravitate to being off the primary national electricity grid not only with new plants of new investments, but also with existing large industrial consumers of power that will undoubtedly be permitted to do likewise. In addition these new generators of power will be able to sell excess power to other customers and the existing grid’s suppliers. All of it makes the grid safer in the event of attack or natural disaster. This innovative approach will spread worldwide and create another major industry for American interests. The very methods being used will stabilize energy costs and diversify the sources of fuel that are utilized. All of which America has ample supply and access.
Next, add in the opening of federally controlled lands for fuels and minerals production. Then add in all the suppliers, manufacturing support, distribution, and service companies who will be integral to the new manufacturing and utility operations. Then, add in the housing, schools, retail, professionals, etc. needed to support the communities whose populations will be affected by this growth.
Mind blown…
To better understand and for the uninitiated into the world of macro economics and finance – what PDT and supporters are doing with tariffs and trade deals is world defining change. The trade efforts are bringing peace to many contested parts of the world. Paradigm shift does not even come close to describing it. He is having fun like a kid in a candy store doing it.
There is no way to turn this economic ship of positive change around and head back to port; it has irreversibly sailed for the brave new world. The trillions are coming to our home to roost. When the Euros bent the knee and the deal was announced, the death rattle sounded for the future of the existing operations of the cabal. To be sure they will morph into something else that operates on the fringe. But they no longer hold the cards.
To use TradeBait vernacular – PDT got other people to invest their and other people’s money into America to the ultimate benefit of We the People. They pay us for the privilege of doing business with us while hiring and training us for the related highly compensated jobs. The numbers made better sense to do that than to pay the higher tariffs PDT imposed. Yet, they are still paying some level of tariffs as well as taxes along with some investing cash into the Trump/Bessent controlled version of a public investment fund like Trump’s buddies use in SA.
Meanwhile, his handpicked cabinet related to national security is running off or deporting the Dem’s illegal, under the table slave labor and traffickers who have undercut wages, jobs, elections, and lives of We the People. Next on the agenda is to go hard on the cartels and take them out before they even smell our borders.
Cool.
What The Founders Thought
However, much of the economic might being exerted is not a new concept. It has been developed and staged over the past 250 years to be rolled out when ready and as needed. Again, here is the archived letter from Alexander Hamilton to Robert Morris that I posted in American Stories.- Part 21 a couple of weeks ago.
Many know that Hamilton was our original “tariffs” guru. Fewer understand the depth of what those two genius founders understood of the interrelating factors. If you want to know more about the tariffs subject, Alexander Hamilton’s official activities, and the politics at that time; please take time to read the linked informative analysis.
Just like in those days, once again we find ourselves in a similar position today. This time around PDT has the majority support of Congress and the authority as POTUS that Hamilton did not fully have.
What was already known and then expanded upon by our founding fathers has been noted, researched, and chronicled over all of the years that followed; particularly in the areas of economics, military, and the law. A base of economic knowledge relating to worldwide activities has been built. Economic strategies have been developed for dealing with a myriad of situations, conditions, nations, and leaders.
President Trump, applicable cabinet, and economists have studied it all and are using the most current methods and technology in coordination with the best and brightest America has to offer. Then his team negotiates trade deals with the best sharks in the world handling it from our side while he acts in the closer role. Nobody does it better than us because our guys and gals think outside of the box and are always well prepared. What is different is the peace deals he negotiates between former enemies frequently have trade deals attached to America and our interests. So, America wins on trade with both parties as they learn to be friends instead of enemies without the deep state creating mischief and pitting them against each other. That takes them out of the cabal’s clutches and adds more valuable information and data in addition to the trade.
The historical downside has always been that nobody ignores the advantages created more than us as well. We get fat, happy and lazy; then fall asleep behind the wheel. Sometimes it happens intentionally due to political and business corruption. As a result we know what our kryptonite has been.
Donald J. Trump has got this. The America First MAGA movement, the white hats, and many other nations in the world now have his back. Most importantly God spared President Trump’s life to be His servant for a time such as this. The Donald himself knows that to be true and openly states it. We have a deep, growing bench of America First MAGA leaders and supporters in important roles. There is zero doubt in my mind that the Hillbilly Middie can take it to the next level when #47 is done. Even lil Marco has proven his commitment and done an exceptional job at State.
Current Situation
As Americans we have been enticed to buy lower cost stuff because the Chi-coms do not care about human rights and 401-k plans. We are a nation conditioned to consuming mass quantities of products of all types. However, the purchases perpetuate their scheme and actual power. They use controlled and slave labor to produce the stuff at lower costs. International business conglomerates design products and use the Chi-coms to produce them at those lower costs, then resell to the consumers worldwide who fall for the fake promotions, sponsored media reports, and ads. Add in the politicians that the people elect who believe it is good business in their states to establish relations with the godless communists and offer special deals using tax payer money for locating businesses to their states; for personal gain of course. I
n essence the international corporate piranha that use Chyna and other totalitarian regimes operate irrespective of nations. Their sole goals are to survive, provide enough products the customers want, make good profits, and grow even more tentacles by whatever means necessary.
That has been the picture in America for decades pre-Donald J. Trump as #45 and #47. That is what is changing so dramatically. As an example, some reading this may still pay or remember paying a cover charge at a club or entertainment venue. The charge went to covering the costs of the entertainment. The venue had something of value you wanted to see, so you paid to get in and then paid some more for the food and libations. That is what President Trump and team are doing with other nations and corporate conglomerates. There is a charge for doing business here because we have something of great value they want – capable workers, more than adequate natural resources and infrastructure, quality products/services, and many paying customers. They can choose to pay a larger cover charge with the tariffs to access our markets, or, they can pay a smaller one or even none under stated conditions along with providing financial and manufacturing investment into America. Most are opting for the latter. They know their investments are safe here and over time their costs will be lower as America leads from the front with AI and technology. With the lower taxes locked in long term from the BBB and a lower cost of energy that reduces production as well as transportation costs – foreign investors are jumping at the opportunity provided them.
So naysayers have to ask themselves; what do these very intelligent, wealthy, and established leaders from around the world know that entices them to do what PDT is dictating, that they do not know?
The cost to produce those products will be controlled in America because for the first time in a very long time the tariffs are leveling the playing field and American leadership is reducing the costs and red tape to corporations to invest big and do business here. Distribution costs will be lower than shipping here from other parts of the world. Our officials are also providing the things that are critically necessary relating to ample access to electricity, water, land, transportation, a competent workforce with training support, reduced regulatory requirements and so on. As we assert ourselves in the domestic energy sector, production costs drop in relation to revenues received. This leads to greater profits and rising stock valuations.
Since robotics and AI are going to drive modern production lines, there is a reduced need for massive numbers of employees that would necessitate an aggressive worker visa program for the purpose. American citizens win as a result.
All of it leads to a much larger, financially stronger middle class in this country. America wins big time when that happens.
Conclusion
To get to the roots of who has been behind the grand scheme of the soon vanquished cabal, please read the works of our Gail Combs. Just know that anytime a politician has ever wanted to attract investment or business relations with the Chi-coms, they are openly stating whose team they are on and it is not America First MAGA.
I have a comment to make to each and every single one of those azzhats.
Game over, bitches. You gotta pay to play now.
Going forward, critical thinking and strategic actions will be rewarded. If you were duped or were beat down and just did not care any more with the past long running fake economy, this is your shot at redemption. All you have to do is communicate support for America First MAGA to folks. Let them know that you appreciate what is being done by President Trump and supporters. If you see something sinister relating to election integrity or with illegals, say something to authorities.
That’s it.
Then invest your work ethic and assets into MAGA. Celebrate each day that we are a SAFE nation that is no longer being taken advantage of and used by the rest of the world. When you no longer have to pay income taxes in the future and see the increased wealth in your retirement plans and investments it will become even more personal and appreciated. That day is coming…

False Teachers / False Prophets
Jesus warned us that “false Christs and false prophets” will come and will attempt to deceive even God’s elect (Matthew 24:23–27; see also 2 Peter 3:3 and Jude 1:17–18). To guard against falsehood and false teachers, it’s important to know the truth and know the characteristics of the counterfeit. Any believer who “correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15) and who makes a careful study of the Bible can identify false doctrine.
Jesus said, “A tree is recognized by its fruit” (Matthew 12:33). So, believers are to be fruit inspectors. Knowing the look, texture, and taste of a healthy apple is important. So is knowing the look, texture, and taste—and smell—of a rotten one. Here are three specific tests to apply to any teacher to determine the accuracy of his or her teaching:
1) What does this teacher say about Jesus? In Matthew 16:15-16, Jesus asks, “Who do you say I am?” Peter answers, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” and for this answer Peter is called “blessed.” In 2 John 9, we read, “Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.” In other words, Jesus Christ and His work of redemption is of utmost importance; beware of anyone who denies that Jesus is equal with God, who downplays Jesus’ sacrificial death, or who rejects Jesus’ humanity. First John 2:22 says, “Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son.”
2) Does this teacher preach the gospel? The gospel is defined as the good news concerning Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). As nice as they sound, the statements “God loves you,” “God wants us to feed the hungry,” and “God wants you to be wealthy” are not the complete message of the gospel. As Paul warns in Galatians 1:7, “Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.” No one, not even a great preacher, has the right to change the message that God gave us. “If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!” (Galatians 1:9).
3) Does this teacher exhibit character qualities that glorify the Lord? Speaking of false teachers, Jude 11 says, “They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.” In other words, a false teacher can be known by his pride (Cain’s rejection of God’s plan), greed (Balaam’s prophesying for money), and rebellion (Korah’s promotion of himself over Moses). Jesus said to beware of such people and that we would know them by their fruits (Matthew 7:15-20).
For further study, review those books of the Bible that were written specifically to combat false teaching within the church: Galatians, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, and Jude. It is often difficult to spot a false teacher/false prophet. Satan masquerades as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), and his ministers masquerade as servants of righteousness (2 Corinthians 11:15). Only by being thoroughly familiar with the truth will we be able to recognize a counterfeit.

Evading Reality
Many things the Left believes are simply not true. Right now the focus is on the size and scope of our government, and the many many billions of dollars the government has been spending on no-one-knew-what. None of that money is going to a key role of government. Which, after all, has the sole purpose of protecting rights.
And if you, Leftist Lurker, want to dismiss this as dead white cis-male logic…well, you can call it what you want, but then please just go fuck off. No one here buys that bullshit–logic is logic and facts are facts regardless of skin color–and if you gave it a moment’s rational thought, you wouldn’t either. Of course your worthless education never included being able to actually reason–or detect problems with false reasoning–so I don’t imagine you’ll actually wake up as opposed to being woke.
As Ayn Rand would sometimes point out: Yes, you are free to evade reality. What you cannot do is evade the consequences of evading reality. Or to put it concretely: You can ignore the Mack truck bearing down on you as you play in the middle of the street, you won’t be able to ignore the consequences of ignoring the Mack truck.
And Ayn Rand also pointed out that existence (i.e., the sum total of everything that exists) precedes consciousness–our consciousnesses are a part of existence, not outside of it–therefore reality cannot be a “social construct” as so many of you fucked-up-in-the-head people seem to think.
So much for Leftist douchebag lurkers. For the rest of you, the regular readers and those lurkers who understand such things, well here we go for another week of WINNING against the Deep State.
I confess that the novelty has not worn off.
Justice Must Be Done.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.
Yes, we won this time around. Not only did we win, we got to KEEP that win instead of having it stolen from us.
But no one should imagine that that’s the end of electoral fraud. Much work needs to be done to ensure it doesn’t just happen again next time around. And incidentally to rescue those states currently in the grips of self-perpetuating fraud, where the people who stole the last election, make sure it’s easier to steal the next one.
This issue, though it’s not front-and-center right now, is not going away, and if we ignore it, we’ll pay the price. See the article above about the consequences of evading reality.

*The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) is a measure of how much the dollar has inflated. It’s the ratio of the current price of gold, to the number of dollars an ounce of fine gold made up when the dollar was defined as 25.8 grains of 0.900 gold. That worked out to an ounce being $20.67+71/387 of a cent. (Note gold wasn’t worth this much back then, thus much gold was $20.67 71/387ths. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.) Once this ratio is computed, 1 is subtracted from it so that the number is zero when the dollar is at its proper value, indicating zero suckage.

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 One: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for any AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except for some possible AI-generated images embedded in certain of the links below in the post. If readers wish to post any AI-generated content in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Note Two: Today’s offering is not intended to be, nor is it to be construed as, defamation or “character assassination” of the person who is the subject of the post. Thank you.
Today’s offering is about Dr. Martin Makary, MD, MPH, the current Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS.) Dr. Makary serves under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. There is some “interesting information”, along with multiple screenshots, in today’s post. All information is searchable on the internet. Yours Truly will highlight opinions of her own in Italics.
The official FDA biography of Dr. Martin Makary, MD, MPH, is here: https://www.fda.gov/about-fda/fda-organization/martin-makary. Yours Truly cannot find a biographical entry on Dr. Makary that states when he was born. What is known is that Dr. Makary was born in Liverpool, England, and came with his birth family to the United States when he was a child. What is known is that Dr. Makary graduated with a B.S. degree from Bucknell University (likely about 1994), and graduated with his MD degree from the medical school of Thomas Jefferson University in 1998. This would, likely, place his year of birth in about 1970. Dr. Makary held a position at The Johns Hopkins University Hospital System as a Surgical Oncologist. He has also served as a professor in the Business School of The Johns Hopkins University. He also served as a consultant for the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2009 in that organization’s “Patient Safety Initiative”, in which Dr Makary assisted in creating the “Surgery Checklist” for surgeons (https://iris.who.int/bitstream/handle/10665/44185/9789241598552_eng.pdf, page 121.) Dr. Makary was confirmed as the current Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) division of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in March 2025.
It is also known that Dr. Makary has apparently refused to take COVID-19 “vaccines” himself. Please see the screenshot, below, from this article: https://www.arabnews.com/node/2580559/amp. “Trumps names two Arab Americans for his Cabinet”, 25 November 2024:
Which, if the above is true, begs the question: If Dr. Makary did not take COVID-19 “vaccines” himself, why is he “recommending” these injectables for anyone else — for example, for people now deemed “at risk of severe complications from COVID-19 infection”, which includes pregnant women and women who have just given birth?
There are sections of the FDA website (URL above) regarding “Background and Program Priorities”, “Eligibility Criteria” for drug companies, “Solicitation of Statements of Interest”, and “Submission and Selection” for the program, underneath the FDA announcement.
This FDA announcement comes on the heels of another “opinion piece” by Dr. Martin Makary and Dr. Vinay Prasad, “Priorities for a New FDA”, published on JAMA Network on 10 June 2025. Their article is found here: http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2835314. Please see the screenshots from this “opinion piece”, below:
Dr. Makary is involved with drug and/or other companies:
Which begs the question: Does this indicate that Dr. Makary may have conflicts of interest in certain areas?
Dr. Makary: Herd immunity from COVID-19 is via infection AND COVID-19 “vaccination”:
Dr. Makary: The non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” should avoid “vaccination” until new COVID-19 “vaccines” are authorized:
Dr. Makary: The need for “universal masking” against COVID-19:
Dr. Makary: On the other hand, “universal masking” harms children:
Dr.Makary: COVID-19 “lockdowns” are acceptable:
PRIOR to his being confirmed as Commissioner of the FDA, Dr. Makary questioned the concept of FDA authorization of COVID-19 “vaccines” without proper testing:
And, last but not least, Dr. Makary urges people to not “dissect” what now-HHS Secretary Kennedy, Jr., said years ago:
Which last screenshot begs the question: Has Dr. Makary apparently applied the “don’t dissect what someone said years ago” standard to himself as regards “the new FDA” that he and Dr. Prasad have created and that Dr. Makary is now implementing at the FDA?
There is a final piece to the “tapestry”, regarding the announcement by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., on 5 August 2025, that HHS was cancelling 22 contracts for “vaccine development under BARDA.” Please see: https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/hhs-winds-down-mrna-development-under-barda.html. However, BARDA is going to be “allowed” (how did this happen?) to complete contracts already begun for the ARCT-2304 self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) Avian Influenza “vaccine”, AND for the development of the “latest RNA technology platform”, called trans-amplifying RNA (taRNA.)And it was the FDA, under Dr. Martin Makary, who granted Arcturus Therapeutics (the developer of ARCT-2304) “Fast Track” status on 10 April 2025 — just after he was confirmed as the new Commissioner of the FDA. Fierce Biotech has an article on the BARDA continuation of these two contracts. Please see: https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/hhs-cancels-all-mrna-vaccine-development-funded-barda, “HHS winds down mRNA vaccine development funded by BARDA”, by Darren Incorvaia, 5 August 2025. A screenshot from this article is below:
Jon Fleetwood discusses this situation on this Substack, here: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/hhs-terminated-22-mrna-projectsbut, “HHS Just Terminated 22 mRNA Projects — But Quietly Preserved the Bill Gates-Funded Bird Flu Shot”, 6 August 2025. Please see a screenshot from this article, below:
There is also an embedded video of an interview with Mr. Fleetwood in his article above.
So, it would appear that, at the very least, FDA Commissioner Dr. Martin Makary “went along”, for whatever reason(s), with the cancelling of mRNA “vaccine” contracts, while at the same time, allowing BARDA to continue with the development of two very dangerous and unproven “vaccine platform technologies”: self-amplifying RNA and trans-amplifying RNA.
Refer above in today’s offering regarding the presence of Dr. Makary as a “headliner” at the BIO.org/ convention in March of this year. Representatives of both CSL Behring and Seqirus were at this convention. Arcturus Therapeutics IS A PARTNER WITH CSL / SEQIRUS in the development of ARCT-2304. Please see: https://arcturusrx.com/mrna-medicines-business-development/, under “Partnered RNA Medicines.”
Trans-amplifying RNA (taRNA), by the way, is a COMBINATION of two, “shorter” RNA fragments: one fragment encodes the antigen; the other fragment encodes the “replicase” (a replicase is an enzyme that facilitates the synthesis of another RNA molecule.)
Summary: In Yours Truly’s opinion, Dr. Martin Makary, the current Commissioner of the FDA, is a person of many convictions and viewpoints, some of which may be conflict with each other. It is up to individual readers to do their own research and form their own opinions.
