Dr. Fauci’s Disturbing CIA Connection Revealed

If you didn’t already have enough reasons to distrust Dr. Anthony Fauci, here’s a new one, and it’s a doozy.

Newly disclosed documents reveal that Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) had a formal institutional partnership with the CIA, one that provided cover for the agency’s biological-threat research. This goes well beyond the previously known off-the-books meetings tied to the Wuhan lab origins controversy. Fauci’s ties to American intelligence run far deeper than anyone outside a handful of investigators realized….


Anthony Fauci – Wikipedia


Anthony Stephen Fauci (born December 24, 1940) is an American physician-scientist and immunologist who served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from 1984 to 2022 and as Chief Medical Advisor to the President from 2021 to 2022. He was one of the world’s most frequently cited scientists across all scientific journals from 1983 to 2002.

In 1984 Ronald Reagan was re-elected and his VP was George H. W. Bush of the CIA.

Since the FDA, USDA, EPA and other bureaucracies use ‘The Science ™‘ to validate their regulations I wanted to look at the history of the destruction of science over the last century.

1964 — The Problem-Solving Method They Removed From Every Textbook


In 1964, Richard Feynman was the only person on California’s textbook commission who actually read the textbooks. What he found should have ended careers — publishers sending blank books that still received ratings, first-grade science texts teaching children nothing but empty vocabulary, and an entire system designed to reward memorization over real understanding.This video breaks down Feynman’s forgotten problem-solving framework — the same approach he used to win the Nobel Prize, expose broken education systems from California to Brazil, and coin the term “Cargo Cult Science” in his legendary 1974 Caltech commencement speech.You’ll learn his 12 favorite problems technique (explained by mathematician Gian-Carlo Rota), why estimating before calculating is the single most underrated thinking skill, and how to tell the difference between someone who memorized the answer and someone who actually understands the problem — a distinction that matters more now than ever, because AI can memorize everything, but it can’t think from scratch.

If you’ve ever felt out of step with the system — at school, at work, in a meeting where nobody could answer the question that wasn’t on the slides — this video explains why. And it gives you a method to fix it tonight.🔹 Drop your own “label instead of an explanation” moment in the comments.——————————————————📖

I cut the most useful part of Feynman’s method out of this video — it needed pages, not minutes. It’s the test he used to check whether he actually understood something or had only learned its name. Three questions, about 90 seconds, and it fails almost everything most people think they know.

Part of the Transcript:

The reason you always felt out of step with the system is because the system was designed to produce the opposite of you. It produces people who follow the process perfectly right up until reality changes and then they freeze. You’ve seen it in hiring. The candidate with the perfect resume who can’t answer a simple what-if question in the interview. You’ve seen it in leadership. The director who can quote the strategy deck word for word but goes blank when a client throws a curveball.

The system trained them to memorize the runway, not to fly the plane.

Feynman left behind the method the system tried to bury.

— 12 problems always alive.

— Strip every claim down to what you can check.

— Estimate before you calculate.

— Test your understanding by rephrasing the question.

— If you can’t answer it in different words, you never understood it in the first place.

That’s it. That’s what they removed. And now you have it back.

But Feynman’s war on the textbooks exposed something bigger than bad education. He found the same pattern in science, in hiring, in way entire industries collapse when nobody inside them can think from scratch. And when he called it out by name, in front of the most powerful people in the room, they didn’t thank him. [Managed decline anyone? -GC]

ROBERT MAXWELL

Which specific U.S. school textbook companies were owned by Robert Maxwell or his companies?

The Deal That Reshaped the Market: Maxwell Buys Macmillan and Joins McGraw‑Hill

Robert Maxwell purchased Macmillan Inc. in the late 1980s, a transaction that positioned him as owner of one of the United States’ largest textbook publishers at the time; reporting from the period documents the acquisition and the creation of a joint venture combining Macmillan’s school publishing units with McGraw‑Hill’s to form Macmillan/McGraw‑Hill School Publishing Co. in 1989, a company that became the second‑largest U.S. textbook publisher [1] [2]. The joint venture pooled Macmillan imprints like Glencoe and units such as Science Research Associates (SRA) into a single school publishing operation, reflecting Maxwell’s strategy of consolidating academic and educational assets under his Maxwell Communication Corporation umbrella, and contemporary sources note that McGraw‑Hill assumed sole ownership of the joint operation by 1993 after Maxwell’s death, indicating the Maxwell family no longer retained operational control

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT

ERIC: … Maxwell figured out how to DESTROY SCIENCE and MAKE A FORTUNE. So he diluted the quality of the editorship of the leading journals. This was a high quality informal enterprise. Now most of the destruction of science in terms of how high quality it used to be, has taken place relatively recently. POST ROBERT MAXWELL. Because we now have an enormous number of journals staffed by people who can’t spot publication cartels, where we agree to cite each others work and we agree to publish stuff, you know Pay for Play. ALL the nonsense you see with irreproducible research…

The peer review thing got woven in so that people think that the scientific method and peer review ARE THE SAME THING. Where ONE IS THE UNWANTED INFECTION FROM THE BIOLOGICAL BIOMEDICAL UNIVERSE, which had peer review much longer than anything else…”

From the article:

One of these ideas is what he calls👉the DISC (Distributed Idea Suppression Complex) which explains how disruptive and innovative ideas that challenge the status quo are suppressed.👈 Keeping institutions safe from individuals who create change….

Pergamon Press – Wikipedia

Pergamon Press was an Oxford-based publishing house, founded by Paul Rosbaud and Robert Maxwell, that published scientific and medical books and journals. Originally called Butterworth-Springer, it is now an imprint of Elsevier.

History

The core company, Butterworth-Springer, started in 1948 to bring the “Springer know-how and techniques of aggressive publishing in science”[1] to Britain. Paul Rosbaud was the man with the knowledge. When Maxwell acquired the company in 1951, Rosbaud held a one-quarter share.[1] They changed the house name to Pergamon Press, using a logo that was a reproduction of a Greek coin from Pergamon. Maxwell and Rosbaud worked together growing the company until May 1956, when, according to Joe Haines, Rosbaud was sacked….


This illustrates the larg problem we now have.

So much for “peer review” — Wiley shuts down 19 science journals and retracts 11,000 gobbledygook papers

By Jo Nova

Proving that unpaid anonymous review is worth every cent, the 217 year old Wiley science publisher “peer reviewed” 11,300 papers that were fake, and didn’t even notice. It’s not just a scam, it’s an industry. Naked “gobbledygook sandwiches” got past peer review, and the expert reviewers didn’t so much as blink.

Big Government and Big Money has captured science and strangled it. The more money they pour in, the worse it gets. John Wiley and Sons is a US $2 billion dollar machine, but they got used by criminal gangs to launder fake “science” as something real.

Things are so bad, fake scientists pay professional cheating services who use AI to create papers and torture the words so they look “original”. Thus a paper on ‘breast cancer’ becomes a discovery about “bosom peril” and a ‘naïve Bayes’ classifier became a ‘gullible Bayes’. An ant colony was labeled an ‘underground creepy crawly state’.

And what do we make of the flag to clamor ratio? Well, old fashioned scientists might call it ‘signal to noise’. The nonsense never ends….


Bring Them All To Justice – Market Ticker

Yes, that’s a strong headline.

But this is not really about the recent virus; it goes back a very long time.  Scientific fraud — not accident, not error,  intentional misrepresentation — has been all over medicine and specifically pharmaceutical trials for decades.

Here are ‘Peer-Reviewed” studies and comments from medical journal editors. My list is so long I am going to cut it in half and put the rest in my next article. However since this type of information has a tendency to disappear, I want it documented.

August 30, 2005 — Why Most Published Research Findings Are False

Source: BMJ-British Medical Journal

US scientists are significantly more likely to publish fake research than scientists from elsewhere, finds a trawl of officially withdrawn (retracted) studies. Fraudsters are also more likely to be “repeat offenders,” the study shows.

Summary

There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false.The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field. In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller; when there is a greater number and lesser preselection of tested relationships; where there is greater flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes; when there is greater financial and other interest and prejudice; and when more teams are involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical significance. Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias…..


May 29, 2009 — How Many Scientists Fabricate and Falsify Research? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Survey Data

ABSTRACT

….A pooled weighted average of 1.97% (N = 7, 95%CI: 0.86–4.45) of scientists admitted to have fabricated, falsified or modified dataor results at least once –a serious form of misconduct by any standard– and up to 33.7% admitted other questionable research practices. In surveys asking about the behaviour of colleagues, admission rates were 14.12%< (N = 12, 95% CI: 9.91–19.72) for falsification, and up to 72% for other questionable research practices. Meta-regression showed that self reports surveys, surveys using the words “falsification” or “fabrication”, and mailed surveys yielded lower percentages of misconduct. When these factors were controlled for, misconduct was reported more frequently by medical/pharmacological researchers than others.

Considering that these surveys ask sensitive questions and have other limitations, it appears likely that this is a conservative estimate of the true prevalence of scientific misconduct.


March 20, 2012 — Former NEJM editors on the corruption of American medicine (NY Times) from https://participatorymedicine.org/

As we said in December, an e-patient essential is sorting out what writings to trust, whether we find them online or in print. There’s an important update on this in the New York Times today, an interview with Marcia Angell MD, an author we’ve quoted before, and her husband Dr. Arnold Relman – both long-time editors of one of the world’s top journals, the New England Journal of Medicine. It contains some eye-poppers.

In 2009, as I was just starting to get educated about healthcare, I posted A Quote I Won’t Soon Forget, which began:

Marcia Angell MD is a well-known, respected physician, long-time editor of NEJM. So it was a bit of a shock today when Amy Romano, blogger for Lamaze International, sent me this quote:

It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.

It was from Dr. Angell’s review Drug Companies & Doctors: A Story of Corruption. It continued:

Dana Blankenhorn of the ZDNet health blog called it “a bombshell.” I couldn’t agree more. And I must say, with all the smart people in this community, why on earth haven’t we heard more about this??

And how on earth are we supposed to be empowered participatory patients if we can’t trust the world’s leading journal?

It echoed Richard Smith, 25 year editor of another top-tier journal (the British Medical Journal), in the first issue of our Journal of Participatory Medicine:

…most of what appears in peer-reviewed journals is scientifically weak.

This is no small issue in the life of an engaged patient. e-Patients who bring googled articles to their office visits are often lambasted or subjected to eye-rolls by clinicians who say that we should only trust academic medical journals. But can we trust them??

We got a rude update on why published science is shaky in our January 2011 post The Decline Effect: most published studies are never replicated by another lab! That’s absurd – heck, in high school I couldn’t get a science experiment passed if it wasn’t reproducible, but our journals do that??….

April 2015 — JAMA Intern Med Research Misconduct Identified by the US Food and Drug Administration: Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Every year, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspects several hundred clinical sites performing biomedical research on human participants and occasionally finds evidence of substantial departures from good clinical practice and research misconduct. However, the FDA has no systematic method of communicating these findings to the scientific community, leaving open the possibility that research misconduct detected by a government agency goes unremarked in the peer-reviewed literature….

Objectives

To identify published clinical trials in which an FDA inspection found significant evidence of objectionable conditions or practices, to describe violations, and to determine whether the violations are mentioned in the peer-reviewed literature.

Design and Setting

Cross-sectional analysis of publicly available documents, dated from January 1, 1998, to September 30, 2013, describing FDA inspections of clinical trial sites in which significant evidence of objectionable conditions or practices was found.

Results: Fifty-seven published clinical trials were identified for which an FDA inspection of a trial site had found significant evidence of 1 or more of the following problems:

falsification or submission of false information, 22 trials (39%);

problems with adverse events reporting, 14 trials (25%);

protocol violations, 42 trials (74%);

inadequate or inaccurate recordkeeping, 35 trials (61%);

failure to protect the safety of patients and/or issues with oversight or informed consent, 30 trials (53%);

and violations not otherwise categorized, 20 trials (35%).

Only 3 of the 78 publications (4%) that resulted from trials in which the FDA found significant violations mentioned the objectionable conditions or practices found during the inspection. No corrections, retractions, expressions of concern, or other comments acknowledging the key issues identified by the inspection were subsequently published.

Conclusions and Relevance

When the FDA finds significant departures from good clinical practice, those findings are seldom reflected in the peer-reviewed literature, even when there is evidence of data fabrication or other forms of research misconduct.

A decade ago, I wrote in another blog “Blogs are now performing the important tasks of scrutinizing papers and conclusions often finding gross mistakes.” That is probably one of the reasons we were shut up during Covid.


June 1, 2015 — Editors In Chief of World’s Most Prestigious Medical Journals: “Much of the Scientific Literature, Perhaps HALF, May Simply Be Untrue”

… “It Is Simply No Longer Possible To Believe Much of the Clinical Research That Is Published”

Posted on June 1, 2015 by WashingtonsBlog

Corruption Is Destroying Basic Science

“Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine are the two most prestigious medical journals in the world.

It is therefore striking that their chief editors have both publicly written that corruption is undermining science.

The editor in chief of Lancet, Richard Horton, wrote:

*http://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736(15)60696-1.pdf

Much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness. As one participant put it, “poor methods get results”. The Academy of Medical Sciences, Medical Research Council, and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council have now put their reputational weight behind an investigation into these questionable research practices. The apparent endemicity [i.e. pervasiveness within the scientific culture] of bad research behaviour is alarming. In their quest for telling a compelling story, scientists too often sculpt data to fit their preferred theory of the world. Or they retrofit hypotheses to fit their data. Journal editors deserve their fair share of criticism too. We aid and abet the worst behaviours. Our acquiescence to the impact factor fuels an unhealthy competition to win a place in a select few journals. Our love of “significance” pollutes the literature with many a statistical fairy-tale….

Similarly, the editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Marcia Angell, wrote in 2009:

“We can no longer trust Drug company clinical trials”

(Original Article I quote below has vanished… imagine that!)

….It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine….

In fact, in October 2017, Angell went further – she published an article in the New York Review of books entitled, ‘Drug Companies and Doctors: A Story of Corruption.’

I thought I would continue the look at supplements since many are compounds necessary for good heart health, brain function and a healthy immune system. I have increasingly noticed more and more ‘mis-information’ designed to prevent people, especially older people or those vaccine injured, from obtaining the best health they can. Also, as I found out the hard way, Google Advanced has now removed the ability to search a URL (blog) for a key phrase so you can find old comments. Therefore I am trying to put important info from the comments into articles so it can be found later. (Sorry if I do not do a H/T to everyone, though I do try.)

This is a CLASSIC that may or may not be from an actual doctor. Her credentials are Baylor, who kicked out and sued Dr McCulloch  and John Hopkins of Event 201 (Plan-demic) fame. She also has the blue checkmark by her name.


Aubergine(@aubergine)  August 24, 2026 10:26

Lord have mercy. This is the kind of misinformation that lets them kill us.

She says “IVERMECTIN HORSE PASTE is WORMWOOD & HONEY.”

NO, it most certainly is NOT. Good grief.

She says “FENBENDAZOLE is BLACK WALNUT, CLOVES, & HONEY.”

Again, NO, it most certainly is NOT.

People like this frustrate and infuriate me. They sound like crazy people, so when I tell people to use ivermectin or fenbendazole, I get tarred with this brush. It makes me so mad.


This is a sneakier example of the same type of Psy-op. Notice these are attacks on the three most critical ‘NEW’ compounds for fighting the effects of the Covid Vaccine.

Nattokinase

I stumbled across this video and decided to take a look. I did not bother to actually watch it and instead looked at the comments first before I decided whether or not to take the time.

I take NOW Foods (100 mg/ ~2000FU) nattokinase. Thanks to the comments I now know that is way too little to make a difference. The Ultra Spike Detox that I have suggests a serving size of 400 mg and a serving is 4 capsules or approximately 8000FU. This would be on the bare minimum side of the effective dose.

Video: I Stopped Using Nattokinase. Here’s Why.


A couple of the comments that made me decide to write this article.


@DeepWarmVoice


Saying that 2000 FU of nattokinaise doesn’t work is like saying aspirin doesn’t work for a headache because the people who took half a tablet didn’t get relief. You ignored the study that compares 10,800 FU with 3600 FU. The people who took 3600 FU saw no improvement. The people who took 10,800 FU did see improvement. No wonder the studies with 2000 FU didn’t see any difference! It would be interesting to see you and Dr. Ford Brewer, who taught preventative medicine at Hopkins and is licensed in all 50 states, arm wrestle over this topic. He uses natto and sees plaque REVERSAL, which many doctors say is impossible.

The study:

New Study Reveals: High-Dose Supplement Shrinks Arterial Plaque by 36%…

A high but not low dose of nattokinase is associated with reducing artery plaque size by 36% in older adults.

Key Points:

  1. 10,800 but not 3,600 FU per day of nattokinase is associated with a 36% reduction in artery plaque size. 
  2. Nattokinase supplementation is also associated with reducing triglyceride and cholesterol levels. 
  3. The plaque-reducing effects of nattokinase were more pronounced in non-sedentary, obese, cigarette-smoking, and alcohol-drinking participants. 


@guuseh2918


I watched this all the way, I was patient to see the point you wanted to make, and I struggled. A the end of the day, this was a lot of baseless fear mongering about Nattokinase imho. Fundamentally, Natto is food, the safety profile based on ingestion by those who have been eating it for like forever is considerable. This population are also some of the most long lived in the world.

You can’t use 1 data point (Susan) to calibrate studies and or any nutraceutical. I sincerely wish MDs would talk about drugs i.e. pharmaceuticals for which they received training and not nutraceuticals. Natural substances are “smart”, they are able to detect what the issue is and “act” appropriately i.e. if your blood viscosity does not need thinning, most natural substances would go about “doing other things” and not continue to thin your blood. Drugs are manufactured to do one specific thing and are usually blind to other things hence the myriad of negative side effects. The reality is most of the people who take Nattokinase have already given up on allopathic medicine. They will definitely hedge their bets on Nattokinase and other nutraceuticals irrespective of what MDs like yourself think or say.


So much for watching that video!

Now a quick look at the Wellness Company’s “Ultimate Spike Detox” [Take 4 a day = serving]

Per Serving:

Selenium — 75 mg

Tumeric Root extract –500 mg

Bromelian — 500 mg

Natto Seed Extract 400 mg or (Nattokinase — 8,000 FU)

Black Cumin Seed Powder — 100 mg

Dandelion Root — 50 mg

Black Pepper [makes body absorb turmeric better] 5 mg.

Nigella sativa – Wiki: “Nigella sativa (common names, black caraway, black cumin, nigella, charnushka, or kalonji) “

Brave AI

Black seed oil, derived from Nigella sativa seeds and rich in the active compound thymoquinone, is widely used to support immune function, reduce inflammation, and improve skin health. 

Functional, Nutraceutical, and Pharmacological Properties of Black Seed

ABSTRACT

Since ancient times, black seed, or Nigella sativa, has gained popularity in modern industry and health due to its numerous nutritional and therapeutic applications. Detailed coverage of the botanical description, taxonomy, and phytochemical composition can be seen in this review about the most crucial bioactive compounds, such as thymoquinone, alkaloids, saponins, and fixed oils. This therapeutic plant has undergone numerous studies about its solicitations in treating cancer, its protective effects on the heart, and its antiviral, antibacterial, anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic properties. Side by side with its function in conventional medical practices of Ayurveda and Unani, its amalgamation is also specified in the review. This also takes into account the health benefits of black seed, its metabolism, macro‐ and micronutrient composition, and other nutritional considerations. The usages discover the product development potentials within the pharmaceutical and food industries, such as functional foods, health supplements, and cosmetics. Customer attention in natural products has made novel prospects, but side by side with them, there are different concerns about stability, bioavailability, and regulatory problems. To augment the medicinal and economic value of N. sativa, there is potential for its genetic development, for more progressive cultivation methods, and for biotechnological policies. Thus, the incorporation of N. sativainto current healthcare and industry comprises creative, multidisciplinary investigation.


Brave AI

10,800 FU of nattokinase is approximately equivalent to 540 mg of the enzyme. 

This conversion is based on the standard ratio where 2,000 FU corresponds to roughly 100 mg.  Therefore, a 10,800 FU dose represents the higher end of clinical study ranges, often used in observational research for atherosclerosis and lipid management, whereas the standard daily dose for general cardiovascular support is typically 2,000 FU (approx.  100 mg).


Nattokinase Dosage Guide: Why 2,000 FU Falls Short – Toku

Quick Answer

Clinically effective nattokinase dosage for lipid and atherosclerotic plaque support is 10,800 FU per day

  • Based on: 12-month study, 1,062 participants (Chen et al., 2022)
  • Market standard: 2,000 FU (5.4x below clinical dose)
  • 3,600 FU/day was tested and found ineffective for lipids and atherosclerotic plaque support
  • Minimum threshold for modest blood pressure support: 2,000 FU/day

Getting the nattokinase dosage right is the single biggest factor in whether supplementation delivers real results. If you’ve been researching nattokinase, you’ve probably noticed something frustrating: every product seems to list a different dose, and none of them explain why they chose that number…

Reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/covidlonghaulers/comments/10tnwgr/to_those_of_you_taking_nattokinase_what_dosage/

I discussed this with a researcher in the US who collaborates with Resia who said to titrate up to 4000 FU 2x per day. You can also look up some articles from long COVID PharmD whose written a lot about nattokinase

Here is some info from long COVID PharmD: https://pharmd.substack.com/p/frequency-asked-questions-nattokinase

She cites a paper that showed safety at 10k+ FU but she suggests 4K twice a day.

Neprinol is 15,000 fus a pill of natto and serra so not sure which fu number is for which enzyme which but they recommend up to 9 pills a day and one to 3 as a starter dose. 9 pills : That’s 135k fus. This stuff won’t kill you it’ll just make you feel like your dying for a few weeks when it’s working. and then it gets better from there on out. I hope. I’m 1.5 weeks in and praying the fates finally cut my life web fully. These clots are no effing joke . Killing them off is hell too. Start low and slow and go up from there and good luck

What Is Modified Food Starch?


A very good article. This is just a tidbit.

…Modified food starch is a common ingredient in processed foods, but concerns about its use have grown due to its potential effects on digestion, metabolic health, and overall food quality.

Here are five reasons you should consider removing modified food starch from your diet.

— Lacks nutrients…

— Linked to metabolic imbalances… may increase the risk of metabolic imbalances, including insulin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.

— Genetically modified..

— Disrupts microbial gut balance ..

— May be contaminated with chemicals

7 Supplements Every Senior Must Take (Inflammation, Weak Legs, Blood Sugar & More)


I have tried to tighten up the transcript so you get the meat without the fluffy vignettes about fictitious people. The transcript is in italics, my comments & additions are separated out using dots.

Nine out of 10 people don’t get enough of the nutrients that their bodies need. But the good news is the right supplements can help correct these nutrient deficiencies…

….

Supplement number one — CoQ10 ( 1 to 200 milligrams per day)


Comparison of CoQ10 and CoQH2 by application. Results are demonstrated as %. Cardiovascular diseases are marked in red. LINK

…..

…..David is 72… he had a mild heart attack. He would get tired just a few minutes into his walk and

that didn’t used to happen. He needed muscular work. He needed some HIT [high intensity] training.. But we also recommended something else… Several clinical studies have shown this supplement reduces fatigue compared to placebo and it could have significant effects in reducing cardiovascular risk even in people with heart failure. There’s also evidence that shows it can reduce muscle aches when you’re taking statins…. Some people experience mild side effects like nausea, even insomnia or upset stomach, especially at higher doses or when you first start taking it or if you take it later in the day. Now, ..The supplement.. was co-enzyme Q10, better known as CoQ10.

I usually recommend taking 1 to 200 milligrams per day. If you’ve heard about Ubiquinol being more bioavailable, you can take more or you can take Ubiquinol. [A comment said it Ubiquinol is more sensitive to degradating in light.]

….

Video points to: Effectiveness of Coenzyme Q10 Supplementation for Reducing Fatigue: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

The CoQ10 sold in stores is Ubiquinone. I found Ubiquinol sold under that name.

Comparison of Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone) and Reduced Ubiquinol

Our findings go along with the biochemical description of CoQ10 and CoQH2, recording cardiovascular benefits for CoQ10 and antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties for CoQH2. Our main outcomes are the following: (I) CoQ10 supplementation reduced cardiovascular death in patients with heart failure. This is not reported for CoQH2. (II) Test concentrations leading to cardiovascular benefits are much lower in CoQ10 studies than in CoQH2 studies. (III) Positive long-term effects reducing cardiovascular mortality are only observed in CoQ10 studies…

Coenzyme Q10 is a redox molecule occurring in the human body in 2 bioactive states, ubiquinone (CoQ10) as oxidised state and ubiquinol (CoQH2) as reduced state [5]. Both redox forms of Coenzyme Q10 are bioactive and important for human health [6]. CoQ10 is essential for cellular adenosine phosphate (ATP) energy production [7] as it shuttles electrons from complexes I and II to complex III of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (Fig. 1). CoQH2 is an important lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing peroxidation of the low-density lipoproteins in the blood circulation [8] with additional anti-inflammatory activity [9]…

Energy loss is one kind of aging, but some changes are quieter, the kind you don’t feel until the damage is done. Inflammation plays a major role in heart disease, cognitive decline, and even mood.

So, we’ll look at a nutrient that helps put out those fires before they spread.

Supplement number two — omega-3 (1 to 4 grams)

Inflammation builds slowly deep in the body without pain, without any warning… now it’s considered one of the driving forces behind nearly every chronic disease we associate with aging. So, if there was a way to reduce that inflammation before it causes damage, it would be worth paying attention to… a specific supplement that could possibly help… support heart health and brain function and has been studied extensively in older adults. The supplement helps [people] get essential fatty acids, the kind the body can’t make on its own. These fatty acids or fats are found in cell membranes, and they play a role in everything from cardiovascular function to immune response. But what they’re best known for is their ability to reduce inflammation, especially the kind you don’t feel until it becomes a problem. In particular, those fatty acids help lower triglycerides. Several studies show a clear reduction in triglyceride levels among adults who supplement consistently. There’s also evidence that they may help stabilize mood, support memory by promoting healthy brain cell structures, and by reducing neuron-inflammation… Neuro means brain, and inflammation, you know what that means. So, it’s inflammation of the brain. Age- related cognitive decline doesn’t usually happen all at once. It’s gradual. So, having a way to protect brain health while also supporting the heart makes this nutrient uniquely valuable… Like any supplement, it comes with a few cautions. These fatty acids can thin blood slightly, which may increase bleeding risk, especially for people already taking anti-coagulants. High doses can also lead to digestive issues like nausea or loose stools. That’s why dose and quantity matter and quality. The supplement [is] omega-3, especially EPA and DHA. The two active forms are the EPA and DHA. They’re found in fatty fish like salmon and sardines. These are different from the short- chain versions found in plants which aren’t as readily converted by the body…

I recommend 1 to four grams every day. Take the lower end of that dosage if you have atrial fib or if you have you have concerns with episodes of atrial fi atrial fibrillation. I have atrial fib and I take omega-3s. All right.

Let’s turn to the root cause of most chronic problems, metabolism. Because when that starts to slow down or change, the effects show up in your blood sugar, your weight, your long-term risk for chronic disease, your arteries, plaque, cardiovascular risk, and Alzheimer’s risk.

Supplementation of diet with krill oil protects against experimental rheumatoid arthritis

Although the efficacy of standard fish oil has been the subject of research in arthritis, the effect of krill oil in this disease has yet to be investigated. The objective of the present study was to evaluate a standardised preparation of krill oil and fish oil in an animal model for arthritis..

Results

Consumption of krill oil and supplemented diet significantly reduced the arthritis scores and hind paw swelling when compared to a control diet not supplemented with EPA and DHA. However, the arthritis score during the late phase of the study was only significantly reduced after krill oil administration. Furthermore, mice fed the krill oil diet demonstrated lower infiltration of inflammatory cells into the joint and synovial layer hyperplasia, when compared to control. Inclusion of fish oil and krill oil in the diets led to a significant reduction in hyperplasia and total histology score. Krill oil did not modulate the levels of serum cytokines whereas consumption of fish oil increased the levels of IL-1α and IL-13.

Conclusions

The study suggests that krill oil may be a useful intervention strategy against the clinical and histopathological signs of inflammatory arthritis.

Supplement number three -– Berberine (500 milligrams once or twice a day)

Metabolism is one of the first systems to slow down with your age. You might notice it in your weight, your digestion, or how your body responds to meals. You first start losing your ability to metabolize carbs when you eat them. That raises your insulin. Your higher insulin changes your ability to burn fat. So what started out as a problem with one fuel quickly turns into a problem metabolizing both fuels. Often the earliest signs show up in your blood work. blood sugar begins to creep up, A1C rises, doctors use words like borderline or pre-diabetic or you got a touch of sugar. Then they usually follow it with advice to eat a little bit less and walk a little bit more. And that’s just incomplete advice.

…We recommended a specific supplement. It comes from several different plants, and it’s been used in traditional medicine for centuries. particularly in parts of Asia. But what’s unique about it is how it affects cellular metabolism. It helps activate an enzyme called, again, geek alert, AMK, what the geeks call a phosphocinase. It’s critical to energy metabolism. Sometimes it’s described as the body’s metabolic switch, which plays a key role in how cells use energy, store fat, and manage blood sugar. Evidence backs this up. Several trials have shown that it can lower fasting glucose, improve insulin response, and reduce A1C over time. In some head-to-head comparisons, it’s even shown similar effects to metformin, one of the most commonly prescribed drugs for type 2 diabetes.

But its benefits don’t stop at blood sugar. There’s evidence that it may also support gut health by positively influencing the microbiome. Some studies have found improvements in cholesterol levels, particularly LDL, and triglycerides. The results can vary based on the individual and your metabolism. The supplement [is] berberine, a yellow plant compound with a long history and a growing body of modern research behind it. While it’s generally well tolerated, berberine isn’t free of risks. It can cause digestive issues like cramping, constipation, diarrhea, especially in high doses or on an empty stomach. It may also lower blood sugar more than expected, especially when combined with diabetes medications like metformin, which is why monitoring this supplement is important, especially at the start.

I recommend taking 500 milligrams once or twice a day, although there are some people that can benefit from taking twice that amount. I usually split it into two or three servings with meals. Taking smaller amounts more often can help reduce the risk of side effects and support better absorption.

….

Supplement number four — Magnesium (200 to 400 milligrams per day)

Now that we’ve looked at metabolism, let’s go deeper into a different kind of system slowdown. The kind that you feel in your muscles, your recovery, and your physical strength. As you age, your legs cramp at night. Small aches linger longer than they used to, and they can get you to feeling restless, anxious, tense. These issues often come and go, so they’re easy to dismiss. It happens for a few minutes, and then it’s gone, and you forget about it. But for many people, they’re signs of a quiet deficiency. We identified something that over half of people deal with. It’s a specific mineral deficiency. The supplement we recommended is involved in more than 300 enzyme reactions in the body. It helps regulate nerve signals, muscle contractions, heartbeat, and glucose metabolism. Perhaps more important, it also helps regulate melatonin and GABA. G- A B A. These are two key drivers of healthy sleep and stress management. Several studies show that restoring normal levels can improve sleep quality, can help support healthy blood pressure in people with mild high blood pressure problems. The supplement [is] magnesium.

While generally safe and well tolerated, magnesium can cause side effects if taken in large doses, especially in forms that are less easily absorbed. These may include diarrhea, nausea, or abdominal discomfort. [It is used to clean you out before a Colonoscopy. -GC] Most people take between 200 and 400 milligrams per day, often in the evening, due to its calming effect. Certain forms like magnesium glycinate or citrate are better absorbed and gentler on the stomach compared to cheaper forms like magnesium oxide. So, as usual, and is is often the case especially with supplements, you get what you pay for.

Now, for people looking to support cognitive function, Magnesium-Threonate is worth considering. It’s a form that’s been shown to cross the blood- brain barrier and may support working memory, focus, and age related brain health. It’s usually more expensive, but some find the cognitive benefits are worth the investment. And it’s not just cognitive benefits. It is mood as well. It’s a big mental health improvement. With depression and its twin brother or kid brother anxiety, magnesium helps. But again, you got to get that magnesium across the blood-brain barrier. And that’s what magnesium thteonate has demonstrated it can do. Timing and consistency matter. The benefits build gradually, not overnight.

Now, we’re going to shift. We’re going to talk about something that ties it all together. A nutrient that protects strength, focus, and resilience in both the body and the brain.

Supplement number five — creatine (3 to 5 grams per day.)

….we ask for a test that helps us assess muscle and fat. It’s called a DEXA scan, a DEXA metabolic scan to tell us about muscle and fat. [Sometimes] the results suggest [we are] dealing with sarcopenia. Sarco is a Greek word that means flesh or muscle and pineia is also a Greek word that means lack of. So basically sarcopenia is lack of muscle or weak muscles. [Many people have] heard of resistance training and protein intake and high intensity interval training, but most don’t expect the next recommendation. A supplement, a specific supplement that is best known for supporting muscle growth in athletes, but research has shown it can keep older adults strong. Help them retain their strength, maintain independence, and even support cognitive function. This compound is stored in your muscles, and it’s used during short bursts of activity. It’s also used during long, slow activity, too. It helps recycle energy so your muscles can contract and recover more efficiently. Again, back to the geeks and nerds. That ATP when it drops off a phosphorus group, guess where it’s dropping it off? To this supplement. In younger people, the body produces enough on its own for routine living. But with age, these reserves begin to shrink. Multiple clinical trials have shown that supplementing with this compound helps improve muscle mass and strength in older adults, even in those who don’t engage in heavy exercise. But using this supplement and heavy exercise is a great combination. It has been associated with better balance, lower risk of falls, and improved performance in daily activities like climbing stairs or even getting up from a chair. There’s also promising research connecting it to brain health. It plays a role in cellular energy in the brain and may help support memory, focus, and processing speed, especially under physical or cognitive stress. [Some people,] after a few months, [find their] balance was improved. The supplement he used [is] creatine. While generally safe, some people report a little bit of water retention, bloating, mild digestive discomfort when they’ve first began taking it, so give it some time. These effects usually fade with consistent use. I have a full video discussing creatine in more detail. The link is in the description and we’ll put it at the end as well. The typical doses for older adults is 3 to 5 grams per day. It doesn’t need to be cycled on and off like some people do. It can be taken with or without food. Some people choose to load with higher doses initially, but for most, a steady daily intake is a simple and effective way to do this kind of supplementation. A powdered form dissolved in water is the most common way of getting it.

Healthy muscles are more about strength than bulking up. Strong muscles, especially the ones in your legs, become your best safety valve against metabolic disease, insulin resistance. For pre-diabetes and diabetes. So taking care of those leg muscles is critical. There’s one specific vitamin we haven’t discussed yet and it becomes critical to the purposes of healthy aging and that’s coming right now.

Supplement number six. B12 (500 to a 1,000 micrograms )

… forgetting words, leaving sentences incomplete, misplacing things more often than in the past. Again, all of us have some of these things. The question is how often and how serious. ..starting feeling numbness in the fingers making it harder to handle small things like keys. [For these symptoms] I was worried about Alzheimer’s. We talk about the role of metabolic disease in Alzheimer’s and helped people clean up their lifestyle. Some of the key things lowering carbs, the glycemic carbs, improving muscle work like HIT training, strength training, resistance training. But sometimes, after running tests, we decide to try supplementing with a specific vitamin. The body needs very little of it, but it does need it consistently. And with age, it becomes harder and harder to absorb. [Over time even though the] diet has not changed, the ability to absorb the nutrient from food had declined slowly and silently. Often there is no clue until [people] start having symptoms in [their] hand and fingers. That’s when we began to notice it. Low levels of this vitamin are surprisingly common in older adults, especially those over 60 and even more so in those over 70. After cleaning up lifestyle and with the help of the supplement, within a month, the numbness in the fingers [should] start to fade a little bit. He was clear that he was getting better. And the vitamin, the supplement, B12, it’s water soluble.

It’s generally safe even at higher doses. But there is still a few things to know. In some people, especially those with a kidney disease or certain blood disorders, high dose B12 should be used carefully. Mild side effects like nausea, acne, or a slightly racing heart can occasionally occur, but they’re uncommon. The real concern is missing the deficiency entirely, or assuming the symptoms are just part of getting older. Most people take between 500 to a 1,000 micrograms every day. Some take it as part of a B complex, others as a standalone B12 supplement. I usually recommend a methylated B complex supplement, especially for those with methylation issues. And guess what? Over half of us have methylation issues. That’s a long topic…. Cognition is complex and no supplement fixes everything. But correcting a deficiency can made a real difference in how the brain and body feel.

….

[I use B-12 sublingual, under the tongue, for contact allergy relief. It works in about 10 minutes, going directly into the blood stream and by-passing the absorption issues. –GC]

….

Now, we’ll turn to the next and final supplement in this series. It’s one of the oldest healing agents in the world. Something found in nearly every kitchen. You’ve probably had it in yours, and it has surprising effects on blood sugar, on inflammation, and therefore on aging… Let’s talk about the final supplement.

Supplement number seven. — ceylon cinnamon ( 500 to 1,000 milligrams per day )

To me, metabolic disease, that is insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, diabetes are the real culprits of accelerated aging. Most people are not aware because 75% of doctors don’t know how to diagnose it. Over time, the body becomes less responsive to insulin and even a balanced meal can send glucose higher than it used to….

There’s a spice that has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce fasting blood sugar. It appears to work by slowing the rate at which food leaves the stomach and enters the bloodstream. This reduces post meal spikes. Some studies have also found improvements in cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Though the results aren’t always consistent and appear to be variable by person. What stands out here is that it appears to mimic part of insulin’s action, helping the body process glucose more efficiently. For people with insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, that kind of support can help the body regain balance before things progress further, and it might just be what your body needs. A little bit of a slowdown in that sugar hitting your bloodstream. ..Within a few weeks, you may notice the post meal energy crashes have stopped. He described it as feeling less up and down and more stable throughout the day… And while that one supplement isn’t a solution to all of the problems on its own, it can be a meaningful positive step, a step in the right direction.

We’re talking about cinnamon, specifically ceylon cinnamon and not the more common cassia variety. Ceylon has much lower levels of a compound called coumarin. LINK Coumarin can be harmful in high doses over time, that’s why you want the ceylon cinnamon. That’s why source and quality matter here more than most people realize. While cinnamon is generally safe, it can lower blood sugar more than expected if combined with diabetes medications. So anyone already on treatment should be careful.

Anytime you add berberine or cinnamon or anything else that can impact blood sugar and you’re already taking metformin, just be careful when you start taking it. It can also cause mild digestive upset in some people, especially if taken in high doses or on an empty stomach. Most people take between 500 and 1,000 milligrams per day, a half a gram to a gram in a standardized extract, not the spice that comes out of the spice cabinet. It’s often divided with meals. The powdered form used in cooking isn’t concentrated enough to have a therapeutic effect unless taken in very, very large amounts, which I don’t recommend. Look for supplements that clearly state ceylon cinnamon and list the extract strength.

[People can make] huge progress, by combined the cinnamon with the most important lifestyle strategies. [Reduce] carb intake, especially the glycemic carbs that changed blood sugar levels. Get the right amount of calories. Started exercising., improved strength. Do resistance training, the high-intensity interval training. All of those things together [can make] a big big change. So, now that you know the the seven supplements I recommend, especially for s seniors, there’s something else to think about. It’s just as important, in fact, in some ways more important. That’s knowing which supplements to avoid. Take a look at the worst supplements most seniors think are healthy…. [Link to another video]

The other video:


@Fred-zt5ky listed them for us:

1. Calcium: When taken as a supplement, it can build up in arteries instead of bones, increasing the risk of vascular calcification and heart attacks. It’s better to get calcium from food sources.

2. Fat Burners: These are often loaded with stimulants that can dangerously raise heart rate and blood pressure, increasing the risk of palpitations and even stroke.

3. Meal Replacement Shakes: These highly processed formulas have been linked to liver injury and can cause systemic inflammation. Prioritizing whole, real foods is a safer alternative.

4. Iron: Unnecessary supplementation can lead to an iron overload, which acts as a pro-oxidant, damaging arteries and increasing the risk of plaque buildup. Iron should only be taken if a deficiency is confirmed by a doctor.

5. Supplements with Heavy Metals: Many supplements, especially plant-based powders, can be contaminated with heavy metals like lead and mercury. These toxins can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease. It’s crucial to choose products that are third-party tested for purity.

Dear MAGA: 20260825 ❀ DePat Tuesday ❀ Open Topic | The Alpha-Gal Switcheroo – Is Bill Gates Using “Boxes of Ticks” Misdirection to Protect Vaccines?

This DePat Tuesday Open Thread honors the author of the original Tuesday open thread on this site, namely the late Susie Sampson, a.k.a. Deplorable Patriot, among her other handles, pen names, etc.

For more on the untimely passing of Dear DePat, please see these three posts.

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250123 ❀ In Highest Honor of Susie Sampson, Known to MAGA as Deplorable Patriot
Health Friday Open Thread 1.24.2025: In Memoriam Mira Persona, Susan P. Sampson (Deplorable Patriot)
DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250128 ❀ Call for Authors ❀ Scientific Opinions on the Medical Case of Susie Sampson

At one time, DePat handled FOUR daily open threads here, in addition to taking care of her relatives, choir duties, and numerous other responsibilities. She was a powerhouse – a dynamo – a true force of nature.

DePat’s faith in Trump, Q, “The Plan”, the White Hats, and “the anons” in general, was legendary. Although I didn’t always agree with her quick acceptance of some sketchier evidence and fringier theories, I will gladly admit to “coming around” to numerous so-called “conspiracy theories” which she championed first. I was always careful to give her credit for being right, too, when I had been wrong.

It is impossible to overstate how much DePat did for not only this site, but for her country. I urge all to say a quick prayer of thanks, whenever you think of her, for the privilege of knowing, in life or after death, such an exemplary human being, and lover of God.

And thank you, Susie, for the firm foundation which you left us, when you were called to your true home!

The Alpha-Gal Switcheroo – Is Bill Gates Using “Boxes of Ticks” Misdirection to Protect Vaccines?

Let’s do an experiment. Answer this question.

If you realized that – because you were getting vaccines – there was an increasing and dose-related chance you would become allergic to beef, and would have to stop eating beef – would you keep getting vaccines?

THAT is the question of the century. And it is a question nobody in Big Harma wants you to ask.

Stop for a moment to think about your answer, because IMO this question is NOT merely rhetorical. IMO, it’s REAL.

Speaking for myself, I’m not taking one more vaccine until I am shown the BOX it comes in, and then given WEEKS to research what is in that vaccine. Most vaccines will fail my standards, for one reason or another, and there are many good reasons. The exception might be a non-mRNA rabies vaccine after just being bitten by a bat, but otherwise, yeah. I am going to be a VERY difficult sell on any vaccine. You see, I read a very interesting scientific paper. You need to read it, too.

But before I tell you about it, I want to teach you about how I believe misdirection prejudiced me into believing an inferior scientific theory FIRST.

How the Scam Works

Magic – scams – con artist games – dirty FIB political manipulations – they almost all work by misdirection.

So how does that play out here? This is hypothetical, but tell me this doesn’t make all kinds of sense.

  • Bill Gates is deep in the weeds, controlling vaccines world-wide, for some reason (let’s not get into that now)
  • people have to want to take vaccines, because if they don’t (“hesitancy”), vaccines have no power to do whatever it is that they’re capable of doing (which includes literally remaking humanity)
  • suppose that vaccines start causing a problem
  • suppose that ticks also cause the same problem
  • suppose that pockets within vaccine science become aware that injection itself is and always has been a problematic methodology, due to side effects, including unwanted immune responses, off-target antibodies, etc.
  • well, if ticks alone can be blamed by those scientists, then vaccination and other injections can get off scot-free
  • even better, a vaccine for the “tick disease” can be turned into a hero, and any problems with THAT vaccine can then be blamed on ticks
  • note how COVID vaccine problems were blamed on the virus and “super-spreaders” who allegedly spread the virus right after the vaccine was given in nursing homes – same principle – misdirection

In the PAST – when I believed in an INFERIOR scientific theory – it was the “ticks alone can be blamed” part.

NOW – I believe the SUPERIOR and MORE GENERAL theory that injection itself can be, and often is, problematic. I am now a WISE GUY, who knows the same stuff as the people who wanted to blame everything on ticks.

It’s an AWESOME SCAM. Absolutely brilliant. But, in the words of every AI slop video….. IT’S OVER.

How I got from the bad theory to the good theory is next.

The Idea That Changed Everything and Opened My Third Eye to the Scams

I had heard of this “alpha gal allergy” that was spread by ticks – and I believed it all. It sounded a bit strange, but many parasitic and parasite-borne diseases (or in this case, really a “disorder”) are strange.

The fact that we had never experienced this condition before, but now it was going like gangbusters – well, that’s suspicious, too, but not unprecedented. I was willing to accept it.

The fact that Bill Gates was involved with it – sad, maybe outrageous, but typical. The man has a nose for BAD THINGS. Malaria, mosquitoes, failing vaccines. Its like he has an injection fetish. Ticks fit right into it. Not unbelievable, either.

And then I got an email for a substack article. Shown here as a tweet.

Here is the full text of the tweet.

We found more than 90% of U.S. children are injected with ~54 mg of alpha-gal-bearing mammalian gelatin through routine childhood vaccines before school entry. The evidence points to two possible pathways: 1) DIRECT: Vaccines may DIRECTLY promote alpha-gal sensitization. 2) PRIME-BOOST: Vaccines may PRIME the immune system, so a later tick bite BOOSTS the response to clinically relevant alpha-gal IgE levels. Yet the most obvious experiment has NEVER BEEN DONE: Measure alpha-gal antibodies BEFORE AND AFTER vaccination. This could help explain why suspected Alpha-Gal Syndrome has exploded by nearly 10,000% since 2013, while only a fraction of people bitten by ticks ever develop the condition. Alpha-Gal Syndrome has been known for 18 YEARS, yet no scientific paper bothered to investigate whether alpha-gal containing vaccines could be contributing. With 104 references, our study is one of the most comprehensive papers on Alpha-Gal Syndrome to date, covering its explosive rise, tick biology, vaccine exposures, immune mechanisms, genetic susceptibility, prevention, and treatments. This major McCullough Foundation–The Wellness Company collaboration brings together researchers across epidemiology, medicine, immunology, and public health to confront one of the biggest unanswered questions in Alpha-Gal Syndrome.

@twc_health @McCulloughFund @P_McCulloughMD @DrHarveyRisc @DrKellyVictory @jathorpmfm @drdrew @PeterGillooly

Here is the full infographic.

Another tweet has the study link and more infographics.

LINK: https://zenodo.org/records/22003548

Figure 1. Rising incidence of suspected alpha-gal syndrome in the United States, 2013-2024. Incidence of
alpha-gal-specific IgE seropositivity among adults tested within the TriNetX US Collaborative Network, rising from
0.95 per 100 patient-years in 2013-2014 to 94.06 in 2023-2024. Redrawn from data reported by Rama et al.12 The
event was defined by a positive alpha-gal IgE result without a requirement for documented symptoms; such patients
meet the standard surveillance definition of a suspected rather than a confirmed case. Rates are calculated among
persons who underwent testing and therefore reflect clinical recognition and testing practice as well as any true
change in occurrence.
Figure 3. Two proposed pathways by which vaccine-derived alpha-gal could contribute to alpha-gal
sensitization. Neither pathway is demonstrated, and the two are not mutually exclusive. Pathway 1, direct
induction. Historical aluminum-adjuvanted DTP and DTaP preparations delivered gelatin-borne alpha-gal
parenterally. Dendritic cells take up the epitope in an aluminum-conditioned, Th2-biased environment, and alpha-
gal-specific memory B cells undergo IL-4-dependent sequential class switching to IgE without tick involvement.
The pathway is depicted for historical formulations because every gelatin-containing vaccine in current United
States use is unadjuvanted. Pathway 2, priming followed by tick-bite boosting. Gelatin in live viral vaccines such
as measles-mumps-rubella and varicella carries alpha-gal and expands the alpha-gal-specific memory pool, with or
without detectable circulating IgE. A subsequent lone star tick bite delivers alpha-gal on a salivary glycoprotein
carrier with intrinsic adjuvant activity, boosting a recall response to clinically relevant titers. Amblyomma
americanum is depicted as the dominant vector, although other tick species have been implicated. Convergence. In
both pathways, alpha-gal-specific IgE bound to mast cells and basophils through the high-affinity IgE receptor
FcεRI mediates the delayed reaction occurring 3 to 6 hours after ingestion of mammalian meat that defines clinical
alpha-gal syndrome. Because all humans carry non-allergic anti-gal IgG and IgM, neither pathway requires primary
priming against a novel epitope; the required event is redirection of an existing response toward the IgE isoty

This new thinking makes incredible sense to me.

Tick bites are common, but they’re small, and neither leave much nor take much. The tiny payload makes sense for communicable diseases, which require only a tiny amount of biological material to cause a huge problem, but for allergies, the larger assault of vaccines just makes more sense than a tick bite.

The recent appearance of the disease – also neatly explained by vaccines. NOT well explained by ticks.

No – in my mind, vaccines need to share EQUAL HYPOTHETICAL LIABILITY with ticks – and IMO it’s actually more likely to be vaccines that are ultimately responsible.

Again, I urge you to look at the paper, and maybe download it.

Bill Gates – Turning Crisis into Opportunity by Misdirection?

This is the clincher for me.

Bill Gates has a history of leveraging people’s suspicions of him as a form of misdirection.

In the vaccines-and-depopulation space, we’ve already covered his meddling and psy-ops before.

The Population Control Shot – Did Bill Gates Gaffe, Troll, Let it Slip, Or None of the Above?

That post mentions SIX other posts, all of which cover what appear to be various wicked machinations by Billy Ghoul Gates of Hell (as some call him).

But my big question is THIS.

Has Bill Gates gone too far this time? Has he actually entered FRAUD territory? Has he even done something comparable to the SPLC supporting Nazis with donor money, as a way to stir up useful trouble to make MORE donor money?

Think about it. What if vaccines, in general, have an “off-target immunity problem” that can stem from the immunogen, the adjuvant, or BOTH. If so, misdirecting the public – and science – away from this alpha-gal story THROUGH Gates’ own enemies, would be a very smart move. Actually a diabolical move, but still. Very smart.

But is it legal? I don’t know the answer to that. Maybe DOJ does. At the very least, it’s reprehensible, IMO.

Let me put it this way. I don’t think these “Bill Gates is shipping boxes of ticks” stories are real. I certainly don’t think they’re organic. They’re obviously phony – but I think they’re phony with a purpose. A purpose that seems to help GATES and not US.

Is Gates behind those stories? Is there a money trail, like with SPLC?

I think these tick stories are a psy-op that is designed to gets blamed on the “anti-vax” and “anti-Gates” crowd – to sap the credibility of Gates’ enemies. At the same time, I think this psy-op is designed to mislead people – AWAY from vaccines – which Bill Gates is defending with all his might – and TOWARDS ticks – which Gates really doesn’t care about.

It’s not ticks. It’s vaccines. I’m convinced – at least right now – that they’re a better answer than ticks, on the question of alpha-gal syndrome. And it could even be that Bill Gates is defrauding all of us by blaming a vaccine problem on something else, and making his enemies be the mouthpiece for the phony alibi.

Bill Gates is innocent until proven guilty – just like SPLC. But I think somebody needs to look at this whole thing, and see if Gates has gone beyond just propping up bad science hit pieces like Lancetgate for corporate profits, which is perfectly legal, and has actually done any other things to defraud government, investors, and others – which are not legal. “Boxes of ticks” stories may be legal – but who knows? Maybe the people prosecuting SPLC would know.

As I said, things may get rough around here. Stay frosty. We’re up against the BIG-TIME trouble now.

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!

We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is STILL under DIRECT THREATS by hostile forces – notably COMMUNISTS – and they’re HERE IN AMERICA.

Daily outrage and commie phuckery still abound.

And we will keep saying COMMIES OUT until we get their FRAUD and INSANITY out of our country!

THE STUFF

Win the MAHA Front to Win the MAGA War

Recently, I had a bit of a revelation – followed by a much bigger one. The bigger revelation – the second one – is the title above. Specifically, it includes the MIDTERMS as a critical component.

We need to win on the MAHA front, to win the midterms. I’m not saying that MAHA is everything that wins the midterms. But I am saying that I believe MAHA victory is KEY to MAGA winning the midterms. And beyond.

Allow me to explain….

The First Revelation

At some point recently, I realized that the Democrats have seized on the idea of splitting MAHA against MAGA to weaken President Trump. They are seeking out natural contradictions between MAHA and MAGA, and looking for ways to turn the more liberal MAHA voters against President Trump.

  • scaring them on things like AI data centers
  • angering them on things like Epstein
  • disillusioning them on things like vaccines, RFKJ, etc.
  • playing to the racists and antisemites among them (this is orthogonal to MAHA, but is still depleting it)

And yet – ironically – we are making great strides on the MAHA front, if one simply looks at where we HAVE won battles. Yes, not everything is going our way RIGHT NOW, but seriously – we’re making a LOT of headway.

The Second Revelation

In my opinion, the Democrats and their allies in Big Harma, Bad Tech, and Cabal Finance, are barely hanging on in MAHA world – but they are using psy-ops and media mind control to convince us that we’re not winning. I’m not willing to go along with their bullshit.

In the last two or three years, I’ve stepped away from posting regularly about vaccines, medical technology, depop, and other MAHA topics, but I am being drawn back into the fight. Here is why.

We have had some great victories lately, from my scientific standpoint, but I feel that those victories are being underappreciated by MAHA. People are not seeing them. Each time, I realize just how “on the ropes” the Demmunists, the Faucists, the Weffen SS, and the Mandate Scumbags, really are.

I realize that if our side rallies around these MAHA victories, and push for more, we’re gonna CRUSH these criminals at the midterms.

I’m already seeing some recognition, on our side, of the “winnability” of this election by Trump and MAGA/MAHA in November. BUT – IMO – it’s not enough. It’s not as much as it should be.

Let’s just take a look at where things REALLY stand.

  • Fauci could have made a stand – but he didn’t. He pleaded the Fifth. This is a HUGE win for the forces of patients, real health, MAHA, and sanity.
  • Fauci’s top aide has pleaded guilty and is clearly cooperating with the DOJ on Fauci.
  • Fauci definitely committed federal money and ethics crimes, as called out by Josh Hawley in the Senate.
  • The mRNA flu vaccine is barely snaking by, and has demonstrated obviously and substantially lower safety than even the existing but still dubious traditional flu vaccines.
  • Even Grok admits that the mRNA flu vaccine is not a sound choice for vaccine-qualified patients in good health – and I believe that I can argue effectively that it’s not a good choice for MOST qualified but “should-be-contraindicated” patients.
  • CDC and FDA emails are TORCHING numerous villains of the Biden administration.
  • Top Slovakian academics were caught red-handed colluding with the mRNA vaccine industry to publish misleading science which knowingly minimized dangerous levels of DNA contamination in mRNA vaccines.
  • An impressive new theory liking alpha-gal syndrome to vaccines is not only fitting all the facts BETTER than pure tick-borne theories – it is explaining why Bill Gates doesn’t seem to mind those “boxes of ticks” accusations AT ALL. In fact – he may very well be BEHIND those misdirecting conspiracy theories.

The bottom line is that MAHA’s TRUTH-CENTERED SCIENCE is winning, and the MONEY SCIENCE that wants Trump gone yesterday is in big, big trouble. The other side is desperate, and doing desperate things.

And not only that – they are being swept away. We are changing the ecosystem.

I believe – strongly – that we can REFORM science in the next few years, if we (1) win the midterms, and (2) push to victory for MAHA during this election cycle.

But better still, I believe that if MAHA can WIN and SEE ITS OWN WINS during 2026, the winning of the midterms by MAGA is assured.

Thus, our task is to HELP MAHA WIN, and then to HELP MAHA SEE THE WINS.

I believe this site can be a VERY strong fighter in this cause.

There will be push-back – on many fronts. Some will be in this world. Some will be spiritual. We will contend with both. But we are positioned to help MAHA win, and MAHA’s win will insure that MAGA wins.

Please join me in this endeavor. Whether your support is spiritual, intellectual, moral or emotional, it is WELCOMED. Help to keep this site pure, God-loving, honest, friendly, welcoming, and free of unnecessary conflict (note that I did not say ALL conflict). Do what you think best – pitch in where you feel you can help.

There are 72 days until the election. Let’s make them count!

Dear MAGA: 20260818 ❀ DePat Tuesday ❀ Open Topic | Is There Another Cell Nucleus Hall Pass in the New mRNA Flu Vaccine, mFlusiva?

This DePat Tuesday Open Thread honors the author of the original Tuesday open thread on this site, namely the late Susie Sampson, a.k.a. Deplorable Patriot, among her other handles, pen names, etc.

For more on the untimely passing of Dear DePat, please see these three posts.

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250123 ❀ In Highest Honor of Susie Sampson, Known to MAGA as Deplorable Patriot
Health Friday Open Thread 1.24.2025: In Memoriam Mira Persona, Susan P. Sampson (Deplorable Patriot)
DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250128 ❀ Call for Authors ❀ Scientific Opinions on the Medical Case of Susie Sampson

At one time, DePat handled FOUR daily open threads here, in addition to taking care of her relatives, choir duties, and numerous other responsibilities. She was a powerhouse – a dynamo – a true force of nature.

DePat’s faith in Trump, Q, “The Plan”, the White Hats, and “the anons” in general, was legendary. Although I didn’t always agree with her quick acceptance of some sketchier evidence and fringier theories, I will gladly admit to “coming around” to numerous so-called “conspiracy theories” which she championed first. I was always careful to give her credit for being right, too, when I had been wrong.

It is impossible to overstate how much DePat did for not only this site, but for her country. I urge all to say a quick prayer of thanks, whenever you think of her, for the privilege of knowing, in life or after death, such an exemplary human being, and lover of God.

And thank you, Susie, for the firm foundation which you left us, when you were called to your true home!

Is There Another Cell Nucleus Hall Pass in the New mRNA Flu Vaccine, mFlusiva?

Let’s start off with some history.

Are you aware of the fact that both the Moderna AND the Pfizer COVID vaccines contained a genetic sequence that acts like a “hall pass” or “VIP ticket”, allowing the holder to get into the nucleus of human cells?

Here is a post where I explained this.

Pfizer and Moderna Vaccines Both Contain the PRRARSV Key to the Cell Nucleus

Were it not for somebody dropping a link to an obscure paper in my Twitter timeline back in early 2023, I would have never realized how extra sketchy that made both the virus and the vaccines – and especially the latter, since it would have been theoretically possible to remove the nuclear hall pass from the spike protein used as the vaccine.

Let me repeat that. They left the “hall pass” in the mRNA code for the vaccine.

But – and I have to stress this – it was not just that this “hall pass” was there. No. It was much worse. The paper in question was experimental, and it showed that the viral spike protein not only contained the hall pass, but that it WORKED. The hall pass actually worked to get the spike protein into the nucleus. They even had PICTURES of it in the nucleus.

LINK: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/microbiology/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2023.1073789/full

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!

The hall pass not only got the spike protein into the nucleus – the spike protein THEN got the mRNA that coded for it into the nucleus, as well.

Yes. You are reading that correctly. The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 has a known sequence in it that ends up getting both IT and the mRNA that created it, into the cell nucleus.

One would THINK that this might be a big deal. Especially after we were REASSURED that NO, VIRGINIA – THE mRNA WILL NEVER, EVER GET INTO THE CELL NUCLEUS, YOU FOOLISH VACCINE SKEPTICS.

Are you seeing why this is kind of a big deal?

SO – NOW – my question about the new mRNA flu shot is similar.

I could ask whether the flu vaccine’s “spike protein” (it’s called a “hemagglutinin glycoprotein”) also has a hall pass that gets it into the cell nucleus. I could even ask if the influenza HA glycoprotein also “escorts” its own mRNA into the nucleus, as does the COVID spike protein.

However, that requires experimentation. I can’t do that work.

OK – can I just ask if the mRNA flu shots contain the hall pass into the nucleus?

Well, it turns out that you can ask, but there’s not necessarily an answer.

I could not find the answer, so I asked Grok.

And I asked Grok a slightly less pointed version of the question, since I am perfectly capable of checking for nuclear translocation sequences myself, so that Grok would not detect “conspiracy theory thinking” on my part, and thereby not consign my question to the “talk down to this human” conga line of incomplete answers.

LINK: https://x.com/i/grok?conversation=2088464094655385678

Q: Is there a published mRNA sequence for the new mRNA flu vaccine, mFlusiva, from Moderna?

A: (from Grok)

No, there does not appear to be a publicly published full mRNA (nucleotide) sequence for Moderna’s mFlusiva (mRNA-1010).

mFlusiva is the FDA-approved (as of early August 2026) trivalent mRNA influenza vaccine for adults 50+ (traditional approval for ages 50–64; accelerated for 65+). Each 0.38 mL dose contains 37.5 µg total mRNA (12.5 µg each of three RNAs) encoding the full-length hemagglutinin (HA) glycoproteins of the season’s recommended strains (for the 2026–2027 formula: A/Missouri/11/2025 (H1N1)pdm09-like, A/Michigan/105/2025 [A/Darwin/1415/2025 (H3N2)-like], and B/Pennsylvania/19/2025 [B/Pennsylvania/14/2025-like]), formulated in lipid nanoparticles (SM-102, PEG2000-DMG, cholesterol, DSPC).

Public documents (prescribing information/DailyMed, FDA briefing documents and clinical review, Moderna product pages, and peer-reviewed trial publications) describe the composition, encoded antigens/strains, manufacturing process (in vitro transcription, no cells/eggs), and clinical data, but they do not disclose the actual nucleotide sequences of the mRNAs. These would include codon optimization, specific 5′/3′ UTRs, poly(A) tail, nucleoside modifications (typically N1-methylpseudouridine, as used in Moderna’s platform), and any stabilizing mutations (noted for the influenza B HA in non-surface-exposed regions).

  • The underlying viral HA amino-acid (or genomic) sequences of the recommended strains are publicly available via databases such as GISAID or NCBI, as with any seasonal flu vaccine components.
  • Moderna and related patents/publications disclose example or earlier-generation influenza mRNA constructs, sequences for other candidates, or general platform elements (e.g., UTRs used in some Moderna mRNAs), but not the proprietary, strain-updated commercial sequences for the approved mFlusiva product. patents.google.com
  • This is consistent with how proprietary vaccine sequences (including prior Moderna mRNA products) are typically handled—they are not routinely released in full in labeling or regulatory summaries.

In short, while the antigens, doses, and high-level design are public, the exact published mRNA sequence for mFlusiva is not available. Any claims of a full sequence circulating would need independent verification against primary sources.

(END GROK)

(BEGIN WOLF)

First of all, just for the record, this is a great answer. Once again, thank you, Elon!

This situation seems a bit different from small-molecule drugs, where the exact molecules in the drug MUST be described in full, not only to the FDA, but to the public. Probably a feature that big pharma will eventually pay government to remove, but until then, something that certainly cramps their style.

Now, I was able to track things down a bit, and get CLOSE to the actual sequence for the vaccine, but I have been unable to find the exact sequence.

That is as far as I could go. Registry numbers and names. Trying to look up the CAS registry numbers failed.

CAS Common Chemistry covers – well – common chemicals, including some surprisingly unusual ones, but it clearly doesn’t cover everything. For a lot of molecules – ones that are not “public figures” – one has to get behind the paywall by buying a product like SciFinder.

For example, CAS Common Chemistry has a page for one of the allegedly inactive substances in the vaccine – tromethamine.

LINK: https://commonchemistry.cas.org/detail?cas_rn=77-86-1&search=tromethamine

SIDEBAR: I’ll do a whole post about tromethamine later – it’s one of the best and most hilarious demonstrations of the (to borrow Scott’s verbiage) “weak, fake and gay” duplicity of the pharma-government-fincorp-media complex that I’ve ever seen. I’m personally glad they smartly added this compound to the clot shot, but to lie about why they did it – just so WEAK, FAKE AND GAY!

It is possible that the three names we retrieved above would allow trained biochemists to get very close to the actual sequences that were used, but in reality, to get the full, exact composition, including DNA contamination, we will almost certainly have to wait for independent researchers to analyze and sequence vials of the mFlusiva vaccine.

SO – in answer to the original question, we won’t truly know if there is either a public or secret access code to the cell nucleus in this vaccine, until somebody in free science actually analyzes the sequence of the vaccine, and somebody else actually checks and sees if the protein and/or the mRNA gets trafficked into the nucleus.

To borrow a saying from Nancy Pelosi, “We have to inject it, to find out what’s in it.”

Honestly, I think if Thomas Jefferson saw what patents have done to science, he would pull the whole idea up by the roots and figure out some other way to implement it. What that something else is, I don’t know. But what we have now is clearly problematic.

Let’s Talk About Virus, Vaccine, and Protein Shedding

I have noticed something very interesting about the “shedding” phenomenon.

The “vaxxes can do no wrong” side doesn’t like to talk about shedding. They don’t bring shedding up, and they frequently change the subject when an argument about shedding gets started.

It’s easy to dismiss “shedding” as a conspiracy theory, but once one sees actual Pfizer documentation on the topic (link now dead, curiously), the reality of “shedding” in the vaccine world hits one square in the face. Media shills for vaccines may be crowing on TV that “shedding” is all a big lie, but when the vaccine manufacturer is testing the vaccine, suddenly it’s the greatest danger of the study, and test participants find themselves separated if not isolated from spouses, infants, relatives and friends. Yet another reason people cannot stand the lying fake news media.

The most disingenuous current deflection of the problem in vaccines, is that the FDA has a HUGE concern with the shedding of “gene therapy” products – which often use mRNA in lipid nanoparticles – but then says that it’s not a problem in mRNA vaccines because they’re not classified as gene therapy products. Robert Malone has always been highly critical of this teenager-level dodge of responsibility, and frankly I think anybody involved in that scandal needs to be fired from government and possibly prosecuted for fraud. It’s the same weak chutzpah as the 17-year-old murderer of his parents, demanding first leniency as an orphan, and then prosecution as a juvenile, when the initial lunacy doesn’t prevail.

I recall the first time I read documentation of how shedding of a vaccine was to be guarded against in a major vaccine clinical trial, by significant restrictions of the participants from close contact with other people during the observation period.

“So – you mean shedding is REAL?” Oh yes. It’s real. The FDA has always had significant discussions of it. The big question is this – what is being shed? THAT makes all the difference.

Shedding of Viruses

Shedding of a virus – why – that’s just DISEASE. Communicable disease. We are all familiar with THAT.

Well, vaccines can be a virus – including weakened and incompletely deactivated viruses. It can even be a normal but less pathogenic virus, like cowpox, used as a literal vaccine against a more dangerous virus like smallpox. A weak but “live” virus may be difficult to transmit, but in many cases, transmission is still possible.

Shedding of a virus per se is the most potentially dangerous form of shedding, but it’s also the most well-known, and the easiest to understand. A limited number of viral particles is all that is necessary to start a disease in a new host. Being a victim of viral shedding is literally catching a disease. This is reality – something that happens all the time with common colds and influenza-like diseases (ILIs). Catching a shed virus is vaccination against catching the exact same form again – but not against sufficiently mutated forms. We are familiar with THAT from COVID-19.

So when people catch a communicable viral disease, they catch a shed virus, start constructing the virus, and then shed the virus again. Simple, and very real. But the outcome of viral infection is very uncertain, and that unpredictability ends up being a liability of using sheddable viruses as vaccines.

There is a reason I’m harping on this form of shedding. One needs to keep shedding of vaccine in perspective with the more dangerous, more likely, and more consequential shedding of virus. If you suddenly experience symptoms of a disease, including symptoms of the protein produced by that disease, then it is far more likely that you are a victim of shedding of the actual virus, than shedding of the vaccine. This is a simple reality, which I believe has led many patriots, including Deplorable Patriot, astray, in losing focus on relative risks. It is important to keep ALL forms of shedding in mind.

Shedding of Proteins

At the other end of danger, is the shedding of viral proteins, but not the virus itself. Let’s consider that.

Viral proteins can’t reproduce, but they CAN show all the bad properties of other nasty, dangerous, pathogenic proteins.

For example, the spike proteins of corona viruses are notoriously pathogenic, and when they are administered to test animals in an aerosol, they create immediate pulmonary disease, and can even kill the test animals. Yes, it’s shocking.

Example: https://faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/fasebj.2021.35.S1.04183

Still not convinced that a small amount of “shed” protein can be dangerous? Let’s talk about snake venoms.

Snake venoms are mostly dangerous because of pathogenic proteins, and these proteins are often very similar to bacterial or viral proteins, or arthropod venoms, as well as powerful digestive enzymes.

The thing is – and you likely didn’t know this – venomous snakes “shed” not only their skin, but also their VENOM. That fact is why people who care for venomous reptiles need to wear gloves and respirators when they clean cages. Shake venom gets into the cage dust, and cleaning it out exposes workers to skin and respiratory dangers pretty much like test animals breathing corona virus spike proteins in an aerosol.

So, again, shedding of pathogenic proteins can be real.

The only questions are, what viral protein is it, how is one being exposed to it, and how much of it is one being exposed to.

I’ve discussed this in the past, when we talked about the possibility of shed spike protein having the potency to cause symptoms in a person being shed upon. You can refresh yourself with the discussion in the following post and other linked posts here.

Spike Protein = Spike Protein ≈ Snake Protein

Or this one…..

Is The Abortion Vaccine Right For You?

But if you go a bit too far and think that maybe they’re putting snake venom in the water supply, take a look here…..

Watching The Water – And Learning To Laugh At The Frogs Jumping In To Get Away

How much exposure to pathogenic protein is allowable? That is a HUGE question – and between the extremes of total neglect and total fear, lies something called “exposure and immunity”. Including “natural immunity”. We’ll return to that topic later.

Shedding of Vaccines

In between the shedding of intact viruses, and the shedding of viral proteins, lies an intermediate possibility – the shedding of what in nature are called “virus-like particles”, or what in medicine are called “lipid nanoparticles”.

These are mRNA or DNA enclosed in something like a lipid nanoparticle, or the outer shell of a different virus.

These are, bluntly, mRNA vaccines.

In terms of both danger and safety, lipid nanoparticle vaccines are intermediate between live viral vaccines (always dangerous, IMO) and protein vaccines (least dangerous, IMO). Why is this? Well, bluntly, viruses propagate as a chain reaction, and have very little control over outcome. In contrast, a metered amount of a dead protein has great control over the outcome. mRNA vaccines are in between. They don’t reproduce, but they do create a greater but unpredictable amount of viral protein.

Pierre Kory has a very nice article about vaccine shedding, which I invite you to read.

LINK: Shedding of COVID mRNA Vaccines

By the time you finish that, you will understand that there is some need to address this issue now.

As a bit of an aside, you should note that Cory is AGAINST the use of nicotine patches for treatment of spike protein toxicosis, believing (as I do) that it probably has far more risks than benefits. This is highly relevant for DePat’s case.

Technical Approaches to Prevention of Shedding Injury

It is my belief that any good method to deal with both mRNA vaccine shedding and corresponding protein shedding should have the following characteristics.

  • Prevention is preferred to treatment
  • Treatment can be separate from prevention
  • Earlier is better for both prevention and treatment
  • Vaccine is more dangerous than protein, and is thus a priority

The final point needs some explanation.

While the protein can be dangerous at high enough levels, one of the greatest dangers of the vaccine is that it produces large quantities of the protein, and is thus automatically orders of magnitude more dangerous than the protein alone. This is not even considering the dangers of the mRNA technology itself.

Destroy the mRNA vaccine, and there is no protein made, nor any mRNA mechanism allowed to function badly.

Thus, targeting the shed vaccine FIRST makes sense.

THAT makes things easy, because the vaccine can be destroyed easily, provided that it has not yet entered the body.

The mRNA vaccines utilize lipid nanoparticles (a.k.a. liposomes) to enter cells. While these little particles are exceedingly dangerous at a cellular level, they have an intrinsic weakness – their easy destructibility by surfactants – meaning soaps and other cleaning agents.

I posed a research question to Grok, regarding this approach, and got a VERY satisfactory answer.

THE QUESTION

Grok, please give me a list of substances (ranging from specific chemical compounds to branded products) that are known to rapidly disrupt, break up, absorb, and/or inactivate liposomes, including liposomes that are referred to in the mainstream press as “lipid nanoparticles”. I am interested in both surface treatments (cleaning agents, topical medicines, skin washes, soaps, lotions, etc.) as well as things which can be taken internally (oral or injectable), as medicines, that are more specific for disrupting liposomes in the bloodstream, for example as an antidote to an inappropriately administered lipid nanoparticle vaccine, e.g., given mistakenly to an allergic patient.

THE ANSWER

BEGIN GROK

Surfactants/detergents (most effective and commonly documented disruptors of liposomes and lipid nanoparticles/LNPs), organic solvents, cyclodextrins, and certain other agents can solubilize or destabilize lipid bilayers. These work primarily by intercalating into the bilayer, extracting lipids/cholesterol, forming mixed micelles, or increasing permeability/leakage until the vesicle structure collapses. Effects are concentration-, composition-, and condition-dependent (lipid type, cholesterol content, PEG coating, temperature, pH, etc.). LNPs used in mRNA vaccines share similar phospholipid/cholesterol/PEG-lipid components and are susceptible in vitro to the same classes of agents. pubs.acs.org +2

There is no established, safe, specific medical antidote that rapidly and selectively disrupts circulating LNPs (e.g., after mistaken administration of an mRNA vaccine to an allergic patient). LNPs are designed to be temporary and are cleared primarily via the mononuclear phagocyte system (liver/spleen), with natural degradation of the lipids. Systemic attempts to force rapid disruption with the agents below would generally be highly toxic (hemolysis, cell membrane damage, organ injury) and are not clinically used or recommended for this purpose. Allergic/anaphylactic reactions are managed with standard emergency care (epinephrine, antihistamines, corticosteroids, supportive measures), not LNP disruption.

Surface treatments / topical / cleaning agentsThese are relevant for cleaning residues, skin washes, or external inactivation:

  • Anionic, nonionic, and other surfactants/detergents: Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS/SLS), Triton X-100, Tween 20 (polysorbate 20), Brij surfactants, Zwittergent 3-14, quaternary ammonium compounds, and commercial soaps/detergents containing these. They saturate bilayers then convert liposomes/LNPs into mixed micelles. Used in lab assays (e.g., RiboGreen for mRNA release from LNPs) and industrial cleaning of LNP residues. Alkaline formulated detergents (e.g., potassium hydroxide-based) are effective for equipment cleaning of LNP residues at elevated temperature/contact time. pharmtech.com +2
  • Bile salts (sodium cholate, deoxycholate, taurocholate, etc.): Strong solubilizers of phospholipid bilayers; well-studied for vesicle-to-micelle transitions. Present in some digestive/intestinal contexts and used experimentally.
  • Alcohols and organic solvents: Ethanol, isopropanol, methanol (typically high concentrations). Disrupt hydrophobic interactions; improve solubility of lipids for cleaning but raise flammability/handling issues. pharmtech.com
  • Cyclodextrins (especially methylated or randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin / RAMEB / DMe-β-CD, and to varying degrees α-, β-, HP-β-CD): Extract cholesterol and phospholipids from membranes, increasing permeability, leakage, or causing collapse at sufficient concentrations. Effects depend on CD type, dose, and membrane cholesterol content. link.springer.com +2
  • Other noted factors: High concentrations of certain kosmotropic salts (e.g., ammonium sulfate) can aggregate/precipitate PEGylated liposomes; extreme pH, heat, or oxidation can destabilize; some nanoparticles or polymers can tear or fragment membranes under specific conditions.

Branded/consumer products that contain the above (many soaps, dish detergents, hand washes, some lotions or topical cleansers with surfactants/alcohols) can disrupt lipid structures on surfaces. Efficacy varies widely with formulation and contact conditions.

Internal (oral or injectable) agents

  • The same surfactants, bile salts, solvents, and high-dose cyclodextrins that work in vitro or on surfaces are generally not safe or selective for bloodstream use against LNPs. They disrupt host cell membranes (including red blood cells) at effective concentrations.
  • Bile salts occur physiologically in the intestine and can destabilize orally administered liposomes, but systemic (bloodstream) levels for intentional LNP disruption are not a therapeutic approach.
  • Cyclodextrins have pharmaceutical uses (e.g., solubilizing agents) and can interact with membranes, but high systemic doses for rapid LNP inactivation are not established as safe or effective antidotes and carry risks.
  • No specific medicines or injectables are approved or routinely described as LNP-disrupting antidotes for vaccine mishaps. Research on LNP fate focuses on clearance, protein corona, MPS uptake, and formulation stability rather than forced rapid inactivation in blood. nature.com

Important caveats: Literature on disruption is largely from in vitro biophysics, pharmaceutical formulation/stability studies, cleaning validation, or drug-delivery research—not clinical antidote development for circulating LNPs. “Rapid” disruption typically requires relatively high local concentrations of surfactant relative to lipid. PEG coatings or cholesterol content can modulate stability. Self-experimentation or off-label use of detergents, solvents, or high-dose agents internally is dangerous and not supported.

For any real-world allergic reaction or medical concern involving a vaccine or LNP product, seek immediate professional medical care; do not attempt chemical disruption. If this is related to laboratory work, cleaning protocols, or formulation science, consult primary literature or specialists for concentration- and condition-specific details.

END GROK

Let me translate all of that.

As long as the shed vaccine is still on the surface of your skin, on clothing, on a mask, or on a surface in your house, the vaccine can be destroyed by all sorts of cleaning products, including surfactants, soaps of all kinds, alcohols, oxidizing agents, bile salts, cyclodextrins, and probably anything useful for cleaning.

Further, any lotions or surface treatments which do not aid in skin penetration (like DMSO), but which do sweep things away from direct contact with your cells, are likely to be helpful in delaying, dissolving, and degrading lipid nanoparticles. Imagine spilled chemical on your skin – it’s the same principle. Diluting the vaccine and/or washing it off make sense.

It is a much different story once a lipid nanoparticle vaccine is inside you – be that from prolonged skin contact, breathing, swallowing, or any other route into your body (like the mRNA jab). None of these things work, once the vaccine is inside you, or in the bloodstream. In fact, these cleaning agents are just as dangerous to your internal cellular machinery (lipid-coated droplets) as they are to the lipid nanoparticles. However, as long as the shed vaccine doesn’t get into your bloodstream (a lower probability than a surface reaction), you don’t have to worry as much about that, as about vaccine damage to skin or mucus membranes where shed vaccine made contact.

Thus, the best time to fight shedding, IMO, is soon after contact. Washing, application of lotions or alcohols, etc., should inactivate shed vaccine. Washing away or denaturing shed protein is also likely to work at the same time.

Again, it is important to remember is that systemic problems from shedding are much less likely than surface problems.

A Realistic Program Against Shedding

This is my opinion. Others may differ. That’s OK. I am just offering my perspective. YMMV.

My first concern remains shedding of virus.

If I am not accepting the trade-offs of the vaccine itself, then my protection is my immune system. My immune system has worked very nicely over the years, against colds, flu, and flu-like illnesses, including all forms of COVID as well as non-COVID coronaviruses. There are appropriately long gaps between infections, and the infections (except for OG Wuhan) have not been debilitating, indicating a functioning immune system.

My immune system is always supplemented with plenty of vitamin D, because vitamin D levels are extremely highly correlated with immunity to viruses. The relationship is stark, and backed by the strongest science. Rates of viral infections almost disappear at high serum levels of vitamin D. There are probable mechanisms for this, but I literally don’t care what they are. Without knowing the causation, the correlation still works. I cannot recommend vitamin D enough. You need to be supplementing it, and maintaining maximum exposure to sunlight. Better still, a measurement of serum levels, but it’s not cheap and your doctor likely won’t recommend it.

Doesn’t matter. Supplementation is cheap and easy and not dangerous, so why not just make sure you are taking a few thousand IUs daily? Just do it. When you notice an appropriately long time between colds and flu, you know you’re taking enough.

Likewise, I make sure that I am not deficient in any vitamin or mineral. Vitamin C, magnesium, selenium and zinc are very important.

However, THIS is even more important.

Avoiding crowded events is critical to reducing exposure to shed viruses. I can link almost every case of influenza or coronavirus infection in recent years to a specific event where there were lots of people crowded together.

In other words, shedding. Viral shedding. As in, viral shedding by people in close proximity.

Thus, avoid crowded public events, particularly in the wintertime, when viruses are maximally spread.

After viral shedding, my next concern is vaccine shedding.

IMO casual vaccine shedding from strangers in momentary close proximity, but not direct physical contact, is far, far less of a problem than living with a vaxxed person for that week after vaccination. Even worse, sleeping with that person who just had a vax.

You should note that my concerns here are EXACTLY what the pharmaceutical industry is concerned about in vaccine trials. That includes live virus AND gene therapy products (even if they don’t call them gene therapy products).

My recommendation is to avoid close contact with vaxxed people for at least 2 days after vaccination, and better a full week. Two weeks should be more than enough, always.

Why? Because the vaccine itself degrades. Even if a person take the vaccine, and shows all sorts of disease symptoms for weeks if not months (please pray for them if this is the case) due to vax-initiated protein production that won’t shut off, they are unable to transmit the vaccine to you, because it is no longer there. The vaccine is degraded, but protein production may still be running.

What about shed vaccine when we can’t avoid being around an individual?

This is when to use soaps, alcohol-based gels, and other skin products. This is when to wash your hands after that oily, wet handshake from some just-jabbed joker, sweating profusely due to their mRNA jab. This is when to stand back from people who can’t “say it” without the need to “spray it”. And note that all of this works even better for VIRUS.

IMO, the vaccine is a far greater danger to you, than the protein these poor victims are now producing. YOU don’t want to be inappropriately producing the protein.

And HERE is where my opinion is likely to differ with yours.

My final concern, about exposure to environmental viral protein, is largely not a concern.

Why? Because this is the natural way in which we build immunity.

Even against a bioweapon. I repeat. Even against a bioweapon – as either a virus or a vaccine.

I literally don’t care if the neighbor sheds small amounts of spike protein or flu proteins on me, because THAT is the vaccination that I prefer – the one for which I am designed. Likewise, I am unconcerned with exposure to dead virus, because THAT is basically how we are naturally prepared for exposure to live virus.

Do I want to inject a protein or dead virus vaccine into me? Maybe – but more likely not. I am now very cautious about vaccines, given that I have lost much trust in the current “vaccine cult” in science. I still trust God and His natural evolutionary reality, however, so I am far more likely to simply trust a combination of pre-exposure of my healthy immune system to proteins, followed by full natural immunity from a well-tolerated episode of the disease.

Rabies? That’s a different story. I’ll take the vaxx, as long as it’s not mRNA. I’ve already done so, once before. I would ONLY take an mRNA rabies vaccine if the animal was confirmed to be rabid, because then it’s a “lesser of two confirmed evils” situation.

I am not going to get pregnant any time soon, and I’ve already had COVID and influenza several times each, so I’m not terribly concerned about exposure to proteins from new variants. In fact, I am at the point of “keeping up” with the latest versions.

SO – some jabbie wants to expose me to the latest spike protein in a non-infective way? Please! Not a problem. Go right ahead. Flu proteins? Be my guest. But I won’t let them expose me to the Soviet Trabant two-stroke mRNA vaccine which I very intentionally decided NOT to take.

And again, my final point. Even if the vaccine AND the protein it produces are “bioweapons” – guess what? I want to be immune to it. I want my system to adapt to its presence. I want natural immunity to all this shit – whether it’s purely “old natural” or “the new natural” that includes stupid human gain-of-function scientific error.

Do you see what I’m saying? GOD has this situation – ALREADY. Let go and let God – just do it at the right time and place.

I hope this helps. If you have questions, feel free to ask.

Just days after Prof. Francis Boyle agreed to testify against Bill Gates & Albert Bourla over the deadly COVID mRNA shots… he was FOUND DEAD.

Boyle authored the U.S. Bioweapons Act & called the mRNA injections ‘Bioweapons & Franken-Shots.’

Where does the Pentagon fit into this?…

Just when you thought you’d heard it all, this resurfaced interview with Prof. Francis Boyle—the man who literally WROTE the 1989 Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act—will leave you speechless.

He states on record that both SARS-CoV-2 and the mRNA injections were DARPA-funded offensive bioweapons programs from the start. Gain-of-function? That was the cover story.

According to Boyle, the real goal was always “lethal yet vaccinate-able” population reduction technology. He names names: UNC, Wuhan, Fauci, Daszak, Baric…the whole club.

He goes further—calls the shots “synthetic biological weapons of mass destruction” because they trigger autoimmune carnage, prion-like misfolding & turbo cancers.

Boyle filed lawsuits, begged Congress & warned the world. Just 20 days after agreeing to testify for the prosecution, he was found dead. The same pattern we’ve seen with dozens of doctors & whistleblowers since 2020. Pure coincidence?

If a man who drafted the actual law defining bioweapons says we just lived through the biggest biowarfare attack in history…why isn’t every news channel screaming this from the rooftops?

The most chilling part? Boyle predicted exactly what we’re seeing now: myocarditis, strokes, infertility & cancers exploding in the injected.

He said the spike protein itself is the weapon & the lipid nanoparticles were engineered to cross the blood-brain barrier. This wasn’t a mistake. It was a military-grade kill vector dressed up as “public health.”

It is past time for the new Nuremberg-style trials to begin…

Never Forget…

So many still have no idea what Trump already stopped from happening. It wasn’t supposed to end with temporary lockdowns and a vaccine you could refuse. Most people who just found out about the NWO in 2020 will never understand.

…

Brownstone Institute: The CDC Planned Quarantine Camps Nationwide

by Jeffrey A. Tucker   November 7, 2024

No  matter how bad you think Covid policies were, they were intended to be worse. 

Consider the vaccine passports alone. Six cities were locked down to include only the vaccinated in public indoor places. They were New York City, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. The plan was to enforce this with a vaccine passport. It broke. Once the news leaked that the shot didn’t stop infection or transmission, the planners lost public support and the scheme collapsed

It was undoubtedly planned to be permanent and nationwide if not worldwide. Instead, the scheme had to be dialed back.

Features of the CDC’s edicts did incredible damage. It imposed the rent moratorium. It decreed the ridiculous “six feet of distance” and mask mandates. It forced Plexiglas as the interface for commercial transactions. It implied that mail-in balloting must be the norm, which probably flipped the election. It delayed the reopening as long as possible. It was sadistic. 

Even with all that, worse was planned. On July 26, 2020, with the George Floyd riots having finally settled down, the CDC issued a plan for establishing nationwide quarantine camps. 

People were to be isolated, given only food and some cleaning supplies. They would be banned from participating in any religious services. The plan included contingencies for preventing suicide. There were no provisions made for any legal appeals or even the right to legal counsel. 

The plan’s authors were unnamed but included 26 footnotes. It was completely official. The document was only removed on about March 26, 2023. During the entire intervening time, the plan survived on the CDC’s public site with little to no public notice or controversy. 

It was called “Interim Operational Considerations for Implementing the Shielding Approach to Prevent COVID-19 Infections in Humanitarian Settings.” …

….

From my old notes with some modifications:

Professor Dr. Francis A. Boyle has been sounding the alarm so I am going to look at the two papers he points us to and the people involved. Professor Dr. Francis A. Boyle is ”… a leading American expert international law; responsible for drafting the Biological Weapons Anti-terrorism Act of 89…”

So he had a major hand in developing the following:

Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 “was passed into law in 1990. It provided for the implementation of the Biological Weapons Convention as well as criminal penalties for violation of its provisions. The law was amended in 1996 and has been used to prosecute several individuals.” — https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Biological_Weapons_Anti-Terrorism_Act_of_1989

Biological Weapons Convention “was the first multilateral disarmament treaty banning the production of an entire category of weapons.  It currently commits the 170 states which are party to it to prohibit the development, production, and stockpiling of biological and toxin weapons. However, the absence of any formal verification regime to monitor compliance has limited the effectiveness of the Convention. As of April 2013, an additional 10 states have signed the BWC but have yet to ratify the treaty.” — https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Biological_Weapons_Convention

CHINA is a signatory as is the USA. (Now we know why there were so many labs set-up outside of the USA.)

This is an interview of Dr Boyle by Alex Jones. Luckily there is a transcript at Natural News on 02/20/2020 by Mike Adams

Full transcript of “smoking gun” bombshell interview: Prof. Francis Boyle exposes the bioweapons origins of the CoVid-19 coronavirus

What follows is one of the most important interviews of the year. Biological warfare expert Prof. Francis Boyle appeared as a guest with Alex Jones on the Alex Jones Show, sharing his “smoking gun” findings about the coronavirus being engineered as a weapon that’s designed, “for efficient spreading in the human population,” according to one of the science papers he references.

We confirmed Prof. Boyle’s findings by purchasing the full PDF of that paper and reviewing it in a detailed article we posted yesterday at this link.

That paper describes the CoVid-19 novel coronavirus as possessing unique “gain-of-function” properties that make it the perfect bioweapon, while confirming these new properties were from artificial origins, not natural viral evolution. (In other words, it was engineered.)

Below, we print the full transcript of the Francis Boyle / Alex Jones interview, along with the video of the full exchange below, via Brighteon.com. (The full show is also posted on Banned.video)


Mike has placed in his BRIGHTEON VIDEOS under the Francis Boyle category not only the initial Francis Boyle / Alex Jones interview (1 hr 15 min), but many, many others. I counted well over 30 InfoWars interviews before giving up. This makes me wonder if those interviews may have played a part in the destruction of InfoWars by the DeepState lawyers. And no I do not like Alex Jones.


From the collection: Covid Shot is a Weapon of Biowarfare – RIP Francis Boyle

[WordPiss will not play Brighteon videos.]

PROFESSOR FRANCIS BOYLE, Author of the US 1989 Biological Weapons and Antiterrorism Act:

“THE PENTAGON is behind the mRNA shots… The Pentagon is both sides of the argument, they developed the weapon [SARSCoV2 virus which caused Covid19] and the alleged vaccine.”

The first paper Dr Boyle discusses is a French paper . Dr Boyle states they found ‘gain of function’ and ‘ gain of function’ studies are ONLY of use for weaponizing viruses. The Journal Nature, in an editorial refutes this.

Abstract

In 2019, a new coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infecting Humans has emerged in Wuhan, China. Its genome has been sequenced and the genomic information promptly released. Despite a high similarity with the genome sequence of SARS-CoV and SARS-like CoVs, we identified a peculiar furin-like cleavage site in the Spike protein of the 2019-nCoV, lacking in the other SARS-like CoVs. In this article, we discuss the possible functional consequences of this cleavage site in the viral cycle, pathogenicity and its potential implication in the development of antivirals.

”….we identified a peculiar furin-like cleavage site in the Spike protein of the 2019-nCoV, lacking in the other SARS-like CoVs.….”

That is as close as scientists are going to get to saying this virus does not look natural. They are aware of what happen to the Indians who were made to retract their paper and are not about to step over the politically correct line.

They KNEW the vaccine was deadly. 200 members of Congress were treated with Ivermectin during Covid-19.

The Second paper he discusses is the Baric paper out of University of North Carolina.

This is the nitty gritty of the transcript of the first interview by Alex Jones:


“I think I have the definitive evidence where this came from and it came from the BSL-3 biowarfare lab at the University of North Carolina.”

He then refers to the paper:

It was Electronically Published on November 8, 2015

And LOOK who funded it! The National Institutes of Health under Fauci AND the State Key Program for Basic Research Grants from the Chinese Ministry of Science. Fauci not only funded the initial research but indicated interest in funding further research.

Abstract

The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV underscores the threat of cross-species transmission events leading to outbreaks in humans. Here we examine the disease potential of a SARS-like virus, SHC014-CoV, which is currently circulating in Chinese horseshoe bat populations. Using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system, we generated and characterized a chimeric virus expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone. The results indicate that group 2b viruses encoding the SHC014 spike in a wild-type backbone can efficiently use multiple orthologs of the SARS receptor human angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2), replicate efficiently in primary human airway cells and achieve in vitro titers equivalent to epidemic strains of SARS-CoV.

Additionally, in vivo experiments demonstrate replication of the chimeric virus in mouse lung with notable pathogenesis. Evaluation of available SARS-based immune-therapeutic and prophylactic modalities revealed poor efficacy; both monoclonal antibody and vaccine approaches failed to neutralize and protect from infection with CoVs using the novel spike protein.

On the basis of these findings, we synthetically re-derived an infectious full-length SHC014 recombinant virus and demonstrate robust viral replication both in vitro and in vivo. Our work suggests a potential risk of SARS-CoV re-emergence from viruses currently circulating in bat populations.

Most of us, thanks to PAVACA, are very familiar with the above information, however it was all new in February of 2020 and saved lives. I am not going to try and do a bio of Dr Boyle, I am sure others will do a much better job than I can. I only wish Dr Boyle could have witnessed this.

Just for fun: (Looks like the wild horses are a better solution.)

The following information validates some of the information I learned from Colonel Towner.

Rough Transcript from an Economic Times video. 15 minutes

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: What did you learn about MK Naomi, and do you believe its activities were even more serious than what we know about MK Ultra?

Dr Kinzer: The MK Ultra project was aimed at seizing control of the minds of individuals. The Army was interested in something different, which was trying to use biological agents in warfare against entire populations. So, MK Naomi is the place where these two goals overlap.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: Did you find direct documentation between Paperclip scientists and the development of MK Ultra’s experimental protocols, specifically the use of mescaline, hypnosis, and sensory deprivation?

Dr Kinzer: I found what I think might be the first secret CIA prison or black site. It’s a nice chalet in Germany. These were the cells where the MK Ultra officers, working side by side with Nazis, uh carried out those gruesome experiments.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: These experiments were happening after the Nuremberg trials, correct? So, the CIA would have known that these were crimes against humanity. Um my first question is for Mr. O’Neill. MK Naomi, the joint CIA Army program that ran parallel with MK Ultra at Fort Detrick, appears to have been run with deliberate minimal documentation. Um Army records on Special Operations Division have apparently been destroyed. In your investigation, what did you learn about MK Naomi, and do you believe its activities were even more serious than what we know about MK Ultra?

Mr. O’Neill: I’m sorry. I didn’t learn anything about those operations. I kept my focus mostly on Dr. West and his work. I do know that the only reason I found the documents I found was cuz Dr. West accidentally left them in his papers, and he probably did that because he corresponded with Gottlieb under Gottlieb’s assigned alias, which was Sherman Grifford, and he addressed all his mail to a post office box here under Foss Cut Corporation.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: Thank you, Mr. I’m just going to real quick go to Dr. Kinzer. Are you aware of anything that exists with MK Naomi in your research? And if you could please press the button.

Dr Kinzer: My understanding My understanding of MK Naomi is that it was a joint project between the military and the CIA. And there’s a big difference because the MK Ultra project was aimed [music] at seizing control of the minds of individuals. The army was interested in something different, which was trying to use biological agents in warfare against entire populations. So, MK Naomi is the place where these two goals overlapped.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: And that was the 1953 Frank Olson death. Was that in a way tied to that? from some chatter that we had seen in

Dr Kinzer: Exactly what the motivation was behind the decision about Frank Olson, if there was such a decision, is unknown.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: My next question is also for you, sir. Operation Paperclip brought over 1,600 German scientists into the United States government after World War II, including individuals who had conducted human experimentation in concentration camps. The CIA and military were aware of their backgrounds and recruited them anyways. In your research, did you find direct documentation between Paperclip scientists and the development of MK Ultra’s experimental protocols, specifically the use of mescaline, hypnosis, and sensory deprivation, which were techniques also documented at Dachau?

Dr Kinzer: Absolutely. Um Kurt Blome, who was the chief of biological weapons development for the Nazi government, came to work for the CIA. So did Walter Schreiber, who was the surgeon general of the Nazi army. Um I can just tell a a brief story. When I was researching my book, I found what I think might be the first secret CIA prison or black site. It’s a nice chalet in Germany. And the guy who now owns it took me into the basement. He said these were the cells where the MK Ultra officers, working side by side with Nazis, uh carried out those gruesome experiments, which were actually just continuations of the experiments that those Nazis had been conducting just a few years earlier right down the road.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: Just for timeline and clarification, these experiments were happening after the Nuremberg trials, correct? So, the CIA would have known that these were crimes against humanity.

Dr Kinzer: [4:20] I looked for an episode in which the Nuremberg doctrines were posted on the wall in some MK Ultra or CIA office, and I was never able to find any indication that those Nuremberg principles ever were even consulted, much less obeyed.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: Thank you. My next question would be for either witness to comment, Dr. Kinzer or Mr. O’Neill. Both witnesses have written about the site psychiatrist Louis Jolly West. Sydney Gottlieb ran MK Ultra program for the CIA, hired West as a contractor to conduct research for sub-project 43, combining hypnotism, drugs, and sensory deprivation to create dis-associative states in which, to quote Mr. Kinzer in his book Poisoner in Chief, the human mind could be pulled away from its moorings. Following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, West psychiatrically examined Jack Ruby, then in prison for murdering… Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin accused um of murdering President Kennedy. A report emerged from West’s examination said that Ruby had suffered an acute psychotic break. Can you explain why Dr. West in particular was chosen to conduct an examination of Jack Ruby alone in his jail cell with no other psychologist present?

Mr O’Neill: Be happy to. West inserted himself into the case of Ruby.. the day after the shooting, West approached the judge in the preliminary hearings and asked to be assigned to the case. He was refused by the judge. After Ruby was convicted at his first trial, an associate of West, Dr. Hubert Winston Smith, who was a psychiatrist and an attorney, took over Ruby’s defense for his appeal, and he had already discussed appointing.. West to the case. And as you said, West examined Ruby alone at the jail cell and emerged to announce that in the preceding 48 hours he had had a acute psychotic break from which he would never recover. He had been declared incompetent to stand trial in his the first time by a panel of I think eight psychiatrists. This psychotic break lasted until his death in 1967. Two months after West examined him, Ruby testified for the first time, and only time to the Warren Commission, and it was the first time he ever publicly was supposed to say what his reasons were for his shooting Oswald. The testimony had to be halted cuz he was babbling incoherently. As Allen Inspector, who was a counsel to the commission, wrote in his memoirs, he pulled him aside and said that they were cutting off the arms and legs of children in Albuquerque and El Paso, and he said he was making no sense whatsoever. West in his letters to Gottlieb from 1953 discussed experiments where he would induce specific mental disorders in people without their awareness. A year before the Kennedy assassination, he publicly spoke in Oklahoma City and talked about his LSD experiments inducing psychiatric breaks and psychosis in people with the use of LSD, which he of course later contradicted, when he told the New York Times he never used LSD in animal experimentation.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: What an interesting connection. I might have time but I’ll be now recognizing Mr. Burlison from Missouri for 5 minutes.

[7:54]

Mr. Burlison: Thank you Madam Chair. Thank you for your diligent work on this and hopefully we will hear back from the CIA on those boxes of documents that have so many questions about. Dr. Kinzer and Mr. O’Neill the CIA created MK Ultra in 1953 supposedly out of fear that the Soviet Union and China had developed mind control capabilities. Let me go back a little bit further. So one of my questions has to do with the event that happened in 1951 in August in France. There was a bakery that I guess the people that lived in that community over 250 some say 300 people were poisoned from the bread. It was determined that that was LSD that was causing all of these people to hallucinate. Some people died. Is there any connection Dr. Kinzer to that event and was that something that either inspired the MK Ultra program or the MK Naomi program or is that something that we were involved in even that early on?

Dr Kinzer: I would turn that question back to you. I don’t think anybody really knows the full story of what happened at that time in that town in France. That the United States could have been involved, that this could have been part of what was then called Operation Artichoke, the predecessor for MK Ultra seems to me not beyond the realm of possibility. There’s a lot of overlap between the ergot enzyme that is the basis of LSD and certain rye and wheat fungus that can be used in breads. Was that something intentional? Was it something the Americans were involved in? I have my suspicions, but just based on my background as a journalist, I don’t operate on suspicions. So, I would love to see more investigation of that episode.

…..

Comment on Ergot Poisoning. It is worth a quick look because it describes the symptoms.

Debunking the “Moldy Bread” Theory – Salem Witch Museum

In her excellent lecture “The Salem Witch Trials and Ergot, the ‘Moldy Bread’ Hypothesis,” historian Margot Burns describes a conversation with Linnda Caporael about the publication of this article.

…..

Mr. Burlison: My next question has to do with once the program began. I think one of the most shocking things that we determined is that Operation Midnight Climax that occurred in the early 1950s, ’60s, where the CIA had safe houses. And there was Dr. Kinzer, I mean this obviously extremely disturbing behavior that was happening where you had American citizens who were being lured into these brothels and then dosed with a hallucinogenic and then filmed during their sex acts. Was there anyone prosecuted for this for these crimes?

Dr Kinzer: No, there have been no prosecutions for any crime related to MKUltra as far as I know. To me, the remarkable aspect of Operation Midnight Climax was that there wasn’t even the pretense of scientific experimentation. The person watching behind the one-way mirror was a grossly overweight drug officer sitting on a portable toilet and drinking cocktails out of a pitcher. There was nobody there that was a scientist or somebody who had understood sexual behavior or human psychology. So, there was no science involved in it at all. I can add a little footnote. When I was researching Poisoner in Chief, I came across a document in which one of the officers involved in setting up that program, Operation Midnight Climax, said that Sidney Gottlieb himself used to fly from Washington out to inspect the project regularly and always asked that women be provided for him. So…. [Interrupts]

Mr. Burlison: That was my next question. Do you think that the agents were involved in the sexual encounters?

Dr Kinzer: Well, could that have actually been the reason why the bordello was opened? There was no prospect of any serious scientific result out of that project given the personnel who were overseeing it. So, those CIA officers, particularly Gottlieb, involved in overseeing Operation Midnight Climax, certainly were able to take advantage of what it offered.

Mr. Burlison: Thank you. And my my last question, first I want to say thank you to Mr. O’Neill. The book Chaos, I checked it out from the Library of Congress. and [I] greatly appreciate your work there. I was intrigued by one of the statements that you made based on your research that the MKUltra program, they were actually successfully able to replace memories. And because of that, I’m wondering if And Dr. Kinzer, you can chime in if you have any knowledge of this. Did the program continue? And do you think that the program in some aspect is still continuing today?

Mr O’Neill: You’re asking if the program continued after 1973 when it was halted supposedly. That’s a question I’m asked at almost every appearance I do. Is it happening today? Did it continue? I don’t know. I can’t imagine that it didn’t though because the technology that they worked to establish over 20, 25 years and spent more money on than any operation the CIA ever conducted was successful. I imagine it’s being used. I have no evidence of it being used, so it’s a complete assumption.

Dr Kinzer: I would just add that one of the letters to which Mr. O’Neill referred contains a quote from Mr. Gottlieb saying that these experiments were necessary quote in these times. I think it’s important to put yourself back in that mindset where the United States felt that it was under such overwhelming threat that the loss of a few lives or a few hundred lives was a small price to pay. Commitment to a great cause is one of the most fundamental justifications for committing immoral acts, and patriotism is among the most noble of causes. It can be twisted, and it can be used as an excuse to carry out research under the guise that this is simply research we’re doing to protect ourselves against others, and I think that is a mindset that may still be active in some parts of our government.

Mr. Burlison: Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you, Madam Chair. My time has expired. I yield back.

FULL MKULTRA HEARING: 1 hour 27 minutes

The House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets held a hearing entitled, “Mind Control and Accountability: Uncovering the Truth of the CIA’s MKULTRA Project.”

INTRODUCTION:

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: Task force on declassification of federal secrets will come to order. Welcome everyone. Without objection, the chair may declare a recess at any time.

I recognize myself for the purpose of making an opening statement. This hearing is about the crimes committed by the Central Intelligence Agency against the American citizens and the decades of secrecy used to conceal them. The American people deserve a complete and truthful record. The victims and their families deserve acknowledgment, and this Congress has a constitutional obligation to ensure that full declassification is not delayed any longer. Project MK Ultra was not a policy failure or an overzealous program that got out of hand. It was a deliberate systematic governmental operation that subjected American citizens, prisoners, hospital patients, veterans, ordinary people to LSD, electroshock, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, psychological torture without their knowledge or consent. This went on for 20 years on American soil, funded by American taxpayer dollars, and authorized by the very top of US intelligence apparatus. And this program, when it did end, the men who ran it did not cooperate with investigators. They did not come forward. They committed another crime. They destroyed evidence.

The documents this task force has reviewed are unambiguous. In January 1973, the director of the CIA, Richard Helms, prepared to leave office. He personally ordered the destruction of MK Ultra records. The CIA official document in writing states, “Over my stated objectives, the MK Ultra files were destroyed by the order of DCI Mr. Helms shortly before his departure from office. A separate internal account confirms that Helms telephoned Dr. Gottlieb directly and instructed him to destroy quote all files pertaining to drug research and associated activities. Gottlieb compiled. Four people spent an entire day tearing burning down 152 files. Then Gottlieb had his personal papers destroyed by his secretary before he retired. The head of the CIA own records center protested the destruction in writing, but he was overruled. That is obstruction of justice. That is criminal destruction of federal records.

And neither individuals were ever charged with a crime for it. Helms received a $2,000 fine for lying to Congress about an unrelated manner and collected his government pension until he died. Gottlieb retired in rural Virginia and wrote poetry. No one went to prison.

No victim was ever formally compensated by the government for the harm that they caused. By 1975, the Church Committee and the Rockefeller Commission had already established through sworn testimony and the surviving 1963 Inspector General report that MK Ultra existed and that the CIA had run a program of human experimentation on unwitting Americans. The scope and detail of what we know today is largely because of an accident. In 1977, an archivist diligently complying with a foyer request discovered seven boxes of MK Ultra financial records that had been misfiled and escaped the bonfire. Those seven boxes included the names of institutions, the name of sub projects, the researchers who participated, the specific operation that the CIA had funded, and without them, the vast majority of MK Ultra would only be a rumor, just as Helms and Gottlieb intended. Those seven boxes revealed the MK Ultra comprised at least 149 sub projects, operated across more than 80 institutions, and involved 185 non-government researchers.

They revealed that the CIA covertly contributed $375,000 to a hospital research wing, which was approved directly by DCI Allen Dulles, with Richard Helms concurrence, so the agency could use unwitting patients as experimental subjects in what their own documents called a hospital safe house. The CIA’s own inspector general said in 1963, his classified report concluded that the program had exceeded the agency’s legal chapter and covert testing on unwitting subjects placed the rights and interests of US citizens in jeopardy. The program ran for a decade that we know of and they ignored their own watchdog.

Let me be clear [about] what I believe that we are dealing with here. Administering drugs to people without their knowledge or consent, subjecting humans to psychological torture and using prisoners and hospital patients as nonconsenting research subjects. These are crimes against humanity. The Central Intelligence Agency committed them and then the director of the CIA ordered the destruction of evidence. Today we will hear from two witnesses who have spent years unraveling the cover up that our government ordered. Steven Kzer documented the life and crimes of Sydney Gottlieb in his uh book prisoner of chief and Tom O’Neill spent over 20 years investigating what the CIA buried and what they obscured that in my mind constitutes some of the worst notorious crimes against humanity in the 20th century. Their persistence in the research in this hearing is possible simply because they are patriots. The American people deserve the complete record. The victims and their families deserve acknowledgment, accountability, and justice. And this Congress has a constitutional obligation to make sure that the CIA never does this again.

With that, I’m going to be opening up first questions, and I’ll hold my question to the end, to Representative Berles. Before I do pass it, I did want to just note a few weeks ago, we did receive reports. There was some back and forth regarding the CIA and ODI pertaining to new MK Ultra boxes that were discovered. Myself and Representative Berles did go down to Langley. We did meet with the CIA and the CIA is currently in the process of declassifying newly found documentation. although the documents, and I feel comfortable enough to share it here, pertain specifically to a forgery program that was being housed under MK Ultra. So as soon as those files are released, we will be putting out notification with your help to also comb through some of the newly released documents, but I did want to give you a quick update.

There were three witnesses:

Dr Elizabet Ginexi,

independent Consultant and former Senior Program officer at the National Institute of Health

Dr Kinzer author of: Poisoner in Chief, Sydney Gottlieb and the CIA’s Search for Mind Control

Mr. O’Neill author of: Chaos, Charles Manson, the CIA and the Secret history of the 60s

At 8 minutes Dr Stephen Kinszer’s opening statement.

Thank you very much, Madam Chairman. Let me begin by expressing my gratitude to this task force for confronting the enormous issue of over classification of government documents and the culture of secrecy that enables it. I’m especially gratified by your interest in MK Ultra, the project the CIA carried out through the 1950s in an attempt to find the secret of mind control. MK Ultra was one of the most secret government programs in American history. The chemist who directed it, Sydney Gottlieb, lived in total anonymity. My book, Poisoner and Chief, may be the most complete account of MK Ultra that exists in public, but I’m painfully aware that I have discovered only a small portion of what MK Ultra was and what Sydney Gottlieb did. In 1951, the CIA hired Gottlieb and directed him to launch what became MK Ultra. Gottlieb believed that in order to find a way to implant a new mind into someone’s brain, you first had to find a way to destroy the mind that was in there already.

In its search for ways to destroy a human mind and body, MK Ultra conducted the most extreme experiments on human beings that have ever been carried out by a US government agency. By any standard, they qualify as medical torture. These experiments took place in prisons, clinics, and safe houses in the United States, in Europe, in Asia, and even in Latin America. Officers of MK Ultra were authorized to travel to foreign countries, preferably those under formal or informal US occupation, and ask the local CIA station to provide them with expendables, human beings who would not be missed if they disappeared. Gottlieb had what amounted to a license to kill issued by the US government. Neither the number of MK Ultra victims nor the number of those who were experimented to death is known.

Gottlieb as a result of this license to kill might have been the most powerful unknown American of the 20th century. Some information about MK Ultra spilled out during the 1970s, but senior CIA officers had intentionally let Gottlieb operate without supervision. So they were able to claim that they knew nothing about his excesses. This was a way for the CIA to deny its institutional role in MK Ultra and to portray it misleadingly as the product of one man’s sadism or excessive zeal. Investigating MK Ultra is challenging because when Gottlieb and his mentor Richard Helms left the CIA in 1973, they illegally ordered that its records be destroyed. Soon afterwards, under DCI Stansfield Turner, a CIA analyst, as you pointed out, Madame Chairman, discovered a cache of MK Ultra documents hidden among financial records. Turner credited that analyst with doing a very diligent job of Sherlock Holmesing. That same diligence I believe could bring results today.

One of the great mysteries of MK Ultra has to do with the death in 1953 of an MK Ultra scientist Frank Olsen who had announced his intention to quit the project. His plunge from a New York hotel room was described in the press as the suicide of an army scientist. He was not an army scientist. He worked for the CIA and evidence suggests that his death may have not have been a suicide. So there could be hidden documents that could illuminate this case.

I would also point out that in addition to searching for unknown documents, this committee could do a tremendous service by simply asking for the end of redactions on the documents that we now have. There are reams of documents about MK Ultra that have heavy sections redacted. In the 1970s, this was justified by the argument that it had only been 20 years since these terrible things had happened and revealing details might affect national security. Now, 70 years have passed. That argument can no longer be valid. So, I would urge this committee to try to fill out all the blank spaces in the documents that we have because we know that is there. This task force could also consider trying to determine whether some new incarnation of MK Ultra exists today. When the main phase of MK Ultra drew to a close in the early 1960s, Sydney Gottlieb concluded that it had failed. That in fact there is no such thing as mind control. Even if he was right, however, he may have been right only at that time. In the many decades since then, there have been enormous advances in cyber technology, in artificial intelligence, in neuroscience. Covert agencies may have access now to tools for mind control that Sydney Gottlieb could not even have imagined. It may well have been true in 1963 that mind control is a myth, but whether it’s still true is uncertain. And that question of whether mind control might now be possible under our new circumstances is something that has presumably occurred to scientists who work for secret services, including our own.

This task force has a chance to connect the past to the future. A renewed effort to find MK Ultra documents from the 1950s and to fill out the redactions of those that have been released might shed new light on how the CIA operated during that period. It could also inform a new inquiry into whether any mind control projects are now underway inside the US security apparatus that might help prevent the emergence of a 21st century MK Ultra that could be even more destructive than the original. Thank you.

Tom O’Neill’s opening statement.

Thank you, Chairwoman Luna and members of the committee. It’s a privilege to be here today. Almost 50 years ago, the last congressional hearings into MK Ultra took place just a short walk from here in the Dirks Senate Office Building. At those hearings convened in August and September of 1977, representatives of the CIA told Congress and the American people that its 25-year effort to control human behavior had been a colossal failure. I believe Congress was never told the truth about what this program actually achieved. In fact, I believe the agency misled Congress in 1977 when it characterized MK Ultra as a failure. My name is Tom O’Neill and in 1999 I accepted a magazine assignment to write a story about murders committed by a group of hippies called the Manson family. For those unfamiliar with this horrific episode of American history, in the summer of 1969, four young people acting on the orders of a cult leader named Charles Manson, went to the home of movie director Roman Polanski and murdered everyone they found there, including his eight and a half month pregnant wife, the actress Sharon Tate. The victims were complete strangers to their killers. The following night, Manson’s followers murdered another couple in the same grizzly fashion. At the time I accepted the assignment, I’d never heard of MK Ultra, and I wouldn’t for another two years. After I’d missed countless deadlines, lost the assignment, and fall fallen down a nightmarish rabbit hole trying to answer the question I couldn’t quite shake. How had Manson, a barely literate ex-con, acquired the ability to persuade ordinary young people to murder complete strangers simply because he had told them to?

The pursuit of the answer to that question led me to Dr. Lewis Jolian West, known to his friends as Jolly. West was one of the most influential psychiatrists in America. During his career, he crossed paths with some of the most controversial events of the 20th century, including the Patty Hurst kidnapping case and the aftermath of the John F. Kennedy assassination investigation. In 1977, West was one of seven academic researchers named in a front page New York Times story alleging that the CIA had used American universities, hospitals, and prisons as secret laboratories for experiments involving LSD and other drugs on unwitting human subjects. West vigorously denied the allegations. He acknowledged that the agency had approached him but insisted he had refused because he said LSD was too dangerous and unpredictable to be used on humans. He added that he limited all of his research with LSD to animals. The revelations in the Times led directly to the congressional hearings held later that year. West denials, however, were effective. He was never investigated and his name never came up at the hearings.

I’ll spare you the long and tedious story of how my Manson reporting led me to West except to say that I eventually learned that in 1967 when Manson transformed into the cult leader we are familiar with today, he and his followers were receiving free medical care at a clinic in San Francisco where West had established a base of operations for a research project he was conducting nearby. After becoming intrigued by the allegations against West, I learned that UCLA, his last academic home, had inherited his paper following his death in 1999.

Nearly two months and more than 200 boxes later, I found the proverbial needle in a hay stack, correspondence between West and Dr. Sydney Gottlieb, the architect of MK Ultra. The letters begin in 1953, just two months after CIA director Alan Dulles authorized the program and while West was stationed at the Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, where he was chief chief psychiatrist at the base hospital. In his first letter to Gottlieb, West proposed conducting experiments on unwitting human subjects, including military personnel, prisoners, and psychiatric patients at the base hospital. He then outlined the experiments themselves in six more pages that could have been written by Josef Mengele Using LSD in combination with hypnosis, West purposed inducing confusion, amnesia, and specific mental disorders in people who would remember nothing of their interaction with him afterward. He sought to develop techniques to extract true information and implant false information in unwilling subjects and to alter the attitudes and beliefs of quote previously loyal individuals. In other words, to completely switch their allegiance from one group or leader to another.

But it was another sentence at the end of that letter that stopped me cold. These experiments, he wrote, must eventually be put to test in practical trials in the field. Gottlieb’s response could hardly have been more enthusiastic. My good friend, he wrote, I had been wondering whether your apparent rapid and comprehensive grasp of our problems could possibly be real. You have indeed developed an admirably accurate picture of exactly what we are after. West replied that there was no more vital undertaking conceivable in these times. There was another document in West papers that had even more significant implications. It was a 14-page report that West wrote in 1956, just three years after he contracted with the CIA. In the report, West described administering LSD and other drugs in conjunction with hypnosis on unwitting human subjects. And then he made a remarkable claim. He announced that he had learned how to replace true memories with false memories on people without their knowledge. In other words, he clarified, it has been found to be feasible to take the memory of a definite event in the life of an individual and through hypnotic suggestion bring about the subsequent conscious recall to the effect that this event never actually took place, but that a different fictional event actually did occur. If West report was accurate, this was not the failure agency officials described in 1977. Quite the opposite. It was in fact the central ambition of the MK Ultra operation, the means of gaining the ability to seize the control of a person’s perceptions, memories, and ultimately their behavior.

But there was still one more discovery, and this time I found it in the National Security Archives at George Washington University. the official repository of the CIA’s MK Ultra records, which were released to Congress after the 1977 hearings. In those holdings was a different versions of West 1956 report. The original paper had been replaced by a four-page summary that did not exist in West files and appears to have been written by someone else. Here his claims about replacing memories were gone. in their place was a theoretical discussion of LSD and disassociative states. The versions supplied to Congress concluded that the effects of LSD and similar drugs on disassociative states had, and I’m quoting, never been studied. Never been studied. In the original report, West discusses observations from his own experiments, including detailed descriptions of using LSD to, as he wrote, speed the induction of the hypnotic state and deepen the trance in subjects. Those passages have been removed in the report turned over to Congress. The discrepancy could not have been more stark. Nearly 50 years ago, another congressional committee believed it had been given the truth about MK Ultra. It had not. In conclusion, I respectfully submit that these records, some newly available, and others that remained outside the government’s disclosure for decades, weren’t a thorough re-examination of what the program accomplished, what Congress was told, and what may still remain hidden. I’m happy to provide the documents I’ve referenced today and I’ve provided many additional details in my written testimony.

Dr Elizabeth Ginexi opening statement. [BOY is she angry her cushy job got smacked!] I debated on whether or not to add her opening statement since I do not see how it has anything to do with MK Ultra … What is glorious is at 47:20 she gets called out on just that AND Covid.

Chairman Luna, and distinguished members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today. I’m a health research scientist with a master’s and doctoral degrees in psychology from the George Washington University. I spent 22 years from 2003 to 2025 as a scientific program official at the National Institutes of Health, managing more than $132 million in health research grants and co-authoring 18 federal funding programs. I left the NIH in April of 2025. I’m here today because what is happening to NIH right now is not reform. It is the replacement of scientific judgment with political control. [She is talking about Robert Kennedy]

For 80 years, US federal investment in biomedical research produced outcomes that no private market would have funded. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. NIH funded research on blood pressure, cholesterol, and smoking drove a 56% decline in heart disease between 1950 and 1996. Cancer has been transformed. treatments for breast, lung, prostate, and childhood cancers along with immunotherapies that converted previously fatal diagnoses into manageable conditions traced directly to NIH funded research. HIV AIDS were a death sentence in 1981. No pharmaceutical company saw a profitable market for treatment. NIH ran the trials that no one else would run. The result was antiretroviral therapy and preexposure prophylaxis. Global AIDS deaths have fallen 54% since 2010.

Rare diseases that affect 30 million Americans get studied at the NIH because no market will fund that research. Every dollar that’s appropriated to the National Institutes of Health generates $246 in economic output. NIH supported work contributed to 354 of the 356 new drugs that the FDA approved between 2010 and 2019. Cutting the funding source of that pipeline does not slow it. It ends it. The proposed OM federal financial assistance rule would give political appointees authority to terminate funded grants at any time without cause, including ongoing clinical trials with enrolled patients. This is not a hypothetical. NIH has already terminated or frozen thousands of grants, including hundreds of ongoing clinical trials since January 2025, concentrated in infectious disease, vaccine, and health disparities research. This proposed rule will make that authority permanent. The NIH director has eliminated the merit score thresholds that once protected peer review and political appointees are right now overriding peer review outcomes to screen grants for alignment with administrative pri priorities.

The proposed OM rule will also severely restrict international research. We’re managing an H5N1 blue bird flu outbreak that has more than 70 documented human cases. We recently concluded a hivirus response that required CDC scientists working alongside Argentine counterparts. The current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is now the third largest on record and is outpacing containment efforts. This rule will curtail exactly that kind of cooperation that we need. NIH lost 1,112 PhD trained workers from 2025 to early 26. More than half of the NIH institutes right now are operating without permanent scientific leadership. The majority of its advisory councils required by statute to provide independent oversight have lost more than half of their members. The fundamental choice before this Congress is between a system where scientists make scientific judgments through accountable processes and one where political appointees make those calls instead. That choice will determine whether the next breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s, antibiotic resistance, and pandemic defense will happen here, somewhere else, or perhaps not at all. I urge this committee to support a joint resolution of disapproval to block the proposed OM financial assistance rule. that authority to replace peer review with political approval has not been granted by Congress…

This is a congressional hearing that is worth checking out.
