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

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

Charlie Kirk, conservative activist, commentator, husband and father, was assassinated on Wednesday of this week (10 September 2025) as he was speaking at a “Prove Me Wrong” debate and rally at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. He was shot on the left side of his neck by a sniper who fired from approximately 200 yards away. It appears that the sniper’s single shot fired hit Mr. Kirk’s carotid artery. Mr. Kirk was pronounced dead at the hospital to which he was rushed after the hit. He leaves behind his wife, their two very young children, his parents, other relatives, and many friends. He leaves behind his work with Turning Point USA (TPUSA, of which he was the founder and chairman), and his other endeavors (his Salem Media Group talk show, his social media activities, and so on.) May Charlie Kirk rest in eternal Peace; and may the Almighty God sustain his widow and young children. May the assassin be found, along with those who recruited him. May Justice be meted out to them.

The cold-blooded, planned assassination of Charlie Kirk was Evil In Our Time. Make no mistake about this.

Today’s offering is not about the COVID-19 disaster: it is about the potential for a “new pandemic on the horizon”: H5N1 (Avian Influenza), another Evil In Our Time. Yours Truly has written about this situation in other Health Friday posts. Today’s post regards the latest Evil In Our Time news related to this issue: the lab-creation of TWO new chimeric types of H5N1 virus by the Chinese Communist government-owned company, Sinopharm. The first of these new, lab-created chimeric H5N1 viruses “attaches” to host cells at a rate 64 times higher than other strains of H5N1 viruses; the second of these new, lab-created chimeric H5N1 viruses has a “kill rate” of 100% in lab animals.

The story is here: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/china-lab-engineers-two-new-bird, “China Lab Engineers Two New Bird Flu Constructs: One Binds to Host Cells 64x Stronger, the Other is 100% Lethal in Mammals”, Jon Fleetwood, 8 September 2025. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:

The paper published by the Sinopharm scientists who performed the work is here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.virol.2025.110672, “H5N1 influenza virus-like particles based on BEVS induce robust functional antibodies and immune responses”, Yongbo Qiao, et al., 29 August 2025.

The Sinopharm scientists actually did two things: First, they lab-created two new, chimeric types of H5N1 virus that would guarantee either “attachment” to host cells at a rate 64 times higher than current H5N1 strains; or, would be lethal 100% of the time. Then, Second, they lab-created a “VLP-based vaccine” that would “induce robust functional antibodies and immune responses” to the said two new, chimeric H5N1 viruses. Please see the screenshots of the Abstract from this paper, and the Graphical Image from this paper, below:

Note that “Antigen presentation in lymph node” is the attack by these lab-created new, chimeric H5N1 viruses on the CD4 – CD8 T cells in the lymph nodes— the same things that the SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19) virus itself, and the COVID-19 ‘vaccines”, do. Proper function of the CD4 – CD8 T cells is crucial to proper function of the human immune system in general.

This type of state-sponsored and state-funded Gain-of-Function work is Evil In Our Time. It’s not so much “the advancement of science.”

By the way, the Sinopharm lab where the work was performed is a BSL-3 lab — like the ones in many other bioweapons labs, and in university labs (like the Baric Lab at UNC, Chapel Hill.) http://en.sinopharm.com/2023-02/c_18829.html, 24 February 2023 (Sinopharm R&D webpage — be aware, it’s not secure.)

ALL GAIN-OF-FUNCTION WORK, NO MATTER WHERE IT IS PERFORMED, AND NO MATTER ON WHAT, MUST BE STOPPED. NOW. ALL EFFORTS TO MOUNT A “NEW PANDEMIC” OF H5N1, NO MATTER OF WHAT STRAIN, MUST BE STOPPED. NOW.
