“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
You may or may not recall my earlier post in defense of the basic idea that viruses are real things, substantially as described, and are not merely a counterfeit construct of the now-obvious fake science, which is clearly inflicted upon us by the liars in charge.
That post was made in response to what I believe is a discreditation campaign of “there is no virus”, which has been promoted within the community of COVID and vaccine skeptics, as well as within the good company of those highly observant election skeptics (see Patrick Gunnels), by the DNC, CIA, CCP, WEF and other corrupt globalist organizations.
This idea of pushing us too far, as skeptics, is very much like what they did to protesters on January Sixth. Pushing the enemy too far is a “go-to” principle in their arsenal of shameful abuse of science, media, and social media. It is an affront to truth and God, but they don’t care.
If you are not familiar with my prior rebuttal of the key points of the there is no virus campaign, I am including the entire article by reference, and urge you to read it – either now, or later, in case you have any doubts about the discrete reality, ready separability, and PHYSICAL ISOLATION of viruses.
I will try to keep this brief – although that is hard, because I’m fighting against people’s “feelings” instead of facts. When the other side LIES all the time, it creates a “feeling” that they’re lying about everything. Yes, they ARE lying about everything – but the lies are often very sophisticated, being composed of …
The “there is no virus” campaign followed shortly on the heels of several other discreditation operations, including the highly successful “magnetic vaccines” campaign. Having an actual scientific interest in magnetism, I spent a couple of weeks debunking this campaign, which involved my actually taking it very seriously as a starting point. The whole experience of basic scientific discovery was refreshing and fun, and led me to a great understanding of how the enemy works. Several posts resulted.
Wherein we examine, in something like “MythBusters” style, the dubious “Magnet Challenge”, without relying (too much) on the anti-scientific crutch of scientific authority First, a confession. The main reason I am attracted to these videos of people sticking magnets to the COVID vaccination injection sites on their shoulders, is that I love to watch normal …
Wherein we look at how the COVID scammers are now using “magnetic” disinformation to try to escape justice for REAL abuse of liposome biotechnology to achieve [most likely contraceptive] vaccine persistence and migration. TL;DR – after mRNA vaccine persistence and anatomical migration were revealed in leaked Pfizer data, explaining “shedding” via persistent liposomes, the COVID …
This is for the historical record. I hope that this analysis gets to the “dissident scientists” involved, but even if it never does, future historians will get a powerful look at what I call “Fake Science” – the establishment’s phony, deceptive and controlled scientific complex – and how infiltration, control, and discreditation of dissident populist …
OK. Something is definitely going on. Hat tip to RF121 for finding this. Somebody call Dr. Tenpenny’s lawyer. The Daily Mail may actually owe Dr. Tenpenny and Stew Peters an apology. Just in case Twitter deletes that tweet, here’s an image. So – is this REAL? YES. Most of this story is in Japanese, but …
I also did a post on why FREE SPEECH needs to be tolerant of people who purvey “disinformation”, and particularly those who are under frequent and active discreditation attacks.
I will try to keep this short. I was very shocked, recently, to find that Dr. Sherry Tenpenny was banned from Truth Social for calling the mRNA COVID vaccines “bioweapons”. Dr. Tenpenny commented back. Let’s take a closer look at that! I can tell you this – by the time I saw this, Dr. Tenpenny …
Thus, don’t get me wrong – I will protect the free speech of both the malicious and innocent purveyors of “misinformation”, “disinformation”, “malinformation”, or whatever – where “whatever” frequently includes TRUTH NOT YET RECOGNIZED. And when there is no truth to be recognized, I find it very important that free speech REMAIN ONLINE, if only to serve as a REFERENCE FOR CORRECTION.
So in the spirit of loving correction of my “no virus” friends, let me begin.
In November of 2022, our wonderful champion of truth in medicine, Dr. Peter McCullough – his nose constantly in the scientific literature – noticed and wrote a post (image below) about a FANTASTIC paper, fully capable of putting to rest the “no virus” position for most honest skeptics.
McCullough even included a handy image, which I reproduce here, in fair use, for your learned examination.
This entire paper is worth digging into. For the benefit of the low-vision, I recommend going directly to the paper (title included below) at these links:
The basic idea of the paper is that the researchers FROZE a liquid suspension of the isolated (yes) virus, and then did a very advanced form of electron microscopy on it, completely analogous to the CAT scan they do on you in the hospital, using X-rays. In this fashion, they got amazing PICTURES OF THE VIRUS.
One of the great things that happened here, which absolutely STINKS of real science, is that the researchers didn’t find what everybody expected.
The Earth may be “round”, but the virus is FLAT.
Literally. The virus is only round in two of its three dimensions. It’s shaped like a TABLET, not a sphere.
Hamburger patties. Hamburgers. Oreos. Or even my namesake, MOON PIES.
But consider the ABSTRACT of the paper, and in particular, what I’ve put in BOLD:
SARS-CoV-2 is a lipid-enveloped Betacoronavirus and cause of the Covid-19 pandemic. To study the three-dimensional architecture of the virus, we perform electron cryotomography (cryo-ET) on SARS-Cov-2 virions and three variants revealing particles of regular cylindrical morphology. The ribonucleoprotein particles packaging the genome in the virion interior form a dense, double layer assembly with a cylindrical shape related to the overall particle morphology. This organisation suggests structural interactions important to virus assembly.
A “double layer assembly”?
So that means a DOUBLE-LAYER MOON PIE!
OK – maybe without the middle layer of CARDBOARD that is clearly what moon pies are made of, but still – TWO LAYERS of RNA (or more accurately RNA + nucleoprotein) in the middle.
Coiled up badly flat like a damned garden hose in a round box. Who’da thunk?
Now – I urge you all to click on THE LINK FOR THE PAPER and skim through it. You will spot ALL of the following listed things, and it will give you a chance to practice reading the scientific literature for yourselves.
In no particular order or location (look everywhere), you will find that…..
isolation of the virus is described
agreement with prior work is described
disagreement with prior work is described
how the spike protein is distributed is described
a proof that the viruses were not “squooshed” flat is given
a way to make the viruses “lay flat” is described
several different variants are compared
the attachment of the spike protein was found to be ########
the size of the spike protein was verified (how?)
the porcupines stay the same size, while the number and type of quills may vary
there is speculation about WHY the structure is what it is
the work was done in #######
the peer review was done by at least some number of people
different proteins that make up the structure are named
There is a lot more, but I’m going to let YOU discover that.
Now – I am not saying that all skeptics of good faith will be convinced by this evidence, but I believe that most WILL be convinced.
I go back to what Dr. McCullough posted.
The objections to the reality of viruses are referenced in bold; McCullough’s reasoning to the contrary is briefly given in italics, and his final argument in shown in BOTH.
The endless frustrations of the SARS-CoV-2 crisis and pandemic response has led some to push back denying existence of the virus altogether.Laboratory methods in virology are well accepted and utilize a series of experiments to demonstrate cellular invasion, replication, transfer and repeated infection. Whole genomic sequencing has aided in identification of variants and subvariants and helped greatly in forecasting what is coming next. The CDC Nowcast system is an excellent application of targeted sequencing of viral samples.[i]Nonetheless, some have said if SARS-CoV-2 cannot be cultured like a bacteria and “isolated” then it does not exist.I have always responded that the principles of laboratory virology, sequencing, and the mass production of viruses such as that done by the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems are concrete processes that rely on the presence of the virus.[ii] My understanding from the body of medical literature and firsthand clinical experience are consistent with the conclusion that COVID-19 is indeed a unique illness distinguishable from influenza and other viral infections. I have always been impressed with the absence of bacterial superinfection and micro- and macro-thrombosis being features that separate COVID-19 from influenza and other viral syndromes. Calder, et al, at the Francis Crick Institute has gone a step farther with advanced forms of electron microscopy to see the virus up close and personal. A picture speaks a thousand words and should help even the most skeptical “viral denier” come onto the rational team that is trying to treat high risk patients, end ridiculous contagion control measures, and bring our world back to normal.
Now, I will join the “deniers” in objecting to the life-saving “virtue signal” that good Dr. McCullough uses to conclude his argument, but I will agree completely – the pictures, supported by an excellent description of how they were gotten, is convincing – at least to me.
IF one is willing to accept the reality of the virus, then there is a huge bonus that comes with it. We now have strong reason to believe that the World Economic Forum(WEF) – a nation-controlling cult of transhumanism – is behind the virus and the vaccines, in pursuit of their bizarre dream of “hacking the genome“. I will be posting a deep dive on that conspiracy very soon. You can get previews on my Twitter timeline. When you read that post, strongly consider getting fully on the “there really is a virus” train, because it does lead somewhere, and helps to explain why WEF did what they did.
Until then, stay skeptical, stay ethical, and most of all, stay ethically skeptical!

NOT A VIRUS! They’re homemade pomegranate moon pies!

The Business At Hand
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And indeed, it’s Monday…again.
But we’re ON A ROLL.
The Rules
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Gonna be quick this time.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
After his speech at CPAC, I think it’s quite clear that praying for President Trump’s return to the White House is indeed praying for our enemies, who are too messed up to realize how much better off they would be under a Trump presidency.
MUSICAL INTERLUDE
For your listening enjoyment, and general encouragement, we continue Wheatie’s tradition of fine music videos, shipped fresh from the seas of information by our intrepid authors.
Microwave Monday reminds me of this song from back in the day.
ENJOY!
This right here is the stiffest dose of teased-out 80s chick hair you are EVER going to get.
And if you want to see it with 2008 hair….
And then there’s an outdoorsy 2014 version which has a really great “live” feel…..
But how about a 2021 version with just Susanna Hoffs and a string section?
But if you’re still feeling like it’s all unfamiliar, here’s the original video!
Yeah – that’s more like it!
Call To Battle (H/T Sundance)
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.
Joe Biden didn’t win.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
…..and now for…..
Microwave Monday
After recent discussion of Havana Syndrome, and the possibility that it involves electromagnetic radiation (and in particular microwaves), I have decided that we all need to LEVEL UP our gut-level understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum – even beyond what Steve has done with his explanation of the science behind it.
This will also help us deal with both the REALITIES and DISINFORMATION of 5G telecom.
I will be doing this by giving you all a bunch of INFOGRAPHICS to get started.
Steve got us started HERE, in his 8th science lesson on LIGHT.
You may remember some of this stuff….. (CLICK TO ENLARGE)
Let’s start breaking up that electromagnetic continuum into REGIONS that have NAMES.
You can see that microwaves lie between RADIO and INFRARED.
Let’s look even more closely at those groups.
We can even start breaking those radio and microwave regions down into BANDS that you are all familiar with.
Here you can start to get a feel for the SIZE OF THE WAVES versus objects and frequencies.
The SIZE OF WAVES and WHAT THEY AFFECT actually matters – although it’s not simple.
Megahertz, gigahertz, teraherz, and petahertz are all there.
You can really see it more easily in the following infographic.
You can easily see how we have made “radio devices” push farther and farther away from the very SAFE “radio” region, through television, mobile phones, and WiFi, closer and closer to the microwave and infrared radiation that constitutes COOKING MICROWAVES and RADIANT HEAT ITSELF.
And as you can see here, many technologies emit electromagnetic radiation – and some more than you may have realized.
So where are the 5G frequencies? Please be aware that there is constant change in this stuff, so that these infographics may be slightly out of date. Do not let that deter you – minor changes don’t NIX any issues of the basic range in which 5G operates, unless specifics of the science are given.
Use COMMON SENSE.
Let’s zoom in a bit.
Note that the above is just the US – other countries use different regions.
Here is more detail on European and US 5G.
Much of this is SQUARELY in the microwave region. From Wikipedia, we’re basically talking 300 MHz to 300 GHz.
Now let’s start looking at ALLEGED but possibly REAL health effects of EMR in the microwave region, which may VARY ACROSS THE REGION.
Remember also that DOSAGE MATTERS – like anything else.
You have to squint to see the next infographic, but look at “Biological Effect”.
It depends strongly on FREQUENCY / WAVELENGTH.
This is a very good listen. This lady is also a climate dupe, but she will get you to realize that your microwave devices may actually be doing to YOUR MEAT what microwaves normally do to YOUR MEAT, albeit at LOWER BUT LONGER DOSAGES.
This is another good one!
More of her schtick. This gal will get you to question the “harmless” narrative, just like vaccines, but try to keep some common sense. Remember – driving is a killer, too. You still want the freedom to drive?
Common sense! How do we get the BEST of both worlds?
Now I’m just going to play a bunch of their infographics. Caveat emptor! But some of this stuff is interesting and counter-intuitive. SIGNAL and NOISE matter. In more ways than one.
SO – maybe you should THINK about how to handle the devices you have!!!
But then talk back to all that stuff HERE.
Be sure to be SKEPTICAL of this SKEPTIC lady – that is an essential part of ETHICAL SKEPTICISM. We don’t want to be panicky about 5G, or believing disinformation, but we do want to treat MICROWAVES as maybe not that awesome for our health, in doses that exceed our individual sensitivity.
So BEWARE of BROAD-BRUSH SKEPTICS who downplay too much in favor of technology.
After all, we just got through a BATTLE ROYALE over disastrous mRNA technology that was advanced too fast for all the wrong reasons.
Finally, a GREAT infographic. It’s MASSIVE. I’m only showing you the small version – you have to click the link for the BIG ONE that’s easy to read down to the details.
Something stinks, and to my nose, it’s the New World Odor.
But first, a disclaimer.
I’m actually ashamed that I wanted to work for Google at one point, but I need to get that out into the open right away, lest somebody, someday, use that “gotcha” against me and think it’s actually damaging.
Heck – I even bought a variety of Google swag, back when they were small and upstarty, just like when Netscape, Firefox, various Linux brands, and other rising tech companies were once “new” and “cool”.
A lot of people once thought that Google’s motto of “Don’t be evil” was a bit of a bass-ackwards under-performer, which should have been a positive, rather than a double-negative. Not me. I realized back then that this paradoxical formulation was exactly why the motto was so ahead of the curve.
“Being good” lacks skepticism – particularly of self. “Being good” as a primary motivator is a guaranteed set-up for the primary sin of PRIDE.
“Not being evil”, in contrast, is automagically skeptical of self. And skepticism isn’t just good for science – it’s good for religion.
Yes – I think it’s clear you need both. This is part of why (IMO) Christianity always refreshes itself by going back to its Jewish roots when there are foundational questions. No matter how you slice it, we need to concern ourselves with the Law, which includes consequential negatives, because we don’t want to get rid of our saving prohibitions.
We need our Peters, but we also need our Pauls.
Thus, when Google ditched “don’t be evil”, I smelled trouble.
And what is happening now, may be evidence that Google has forgotten how to “not be evil”.
Google has made mistake after mistake since they began tampering politically with their search engine, largely during the Obama years, but to an even greater degree during the Trump years. And now, in one short year of Biden – Google has arrived at the point of adopting a policy that conflicts with the most basic principles of science.
Simone Gold, of America’s Frontline Doctors, just tweeted this.
WOW: @Google sent notice stating they will be removing the America’s Frontline Doctors website from search results.
We are a team of medical doctors who dared to speak the truth.
“Nor do we allow content from any site that contradicts or runs contrary to scientific or medical consensus and evidence-based best practices.”
Well THAT’S great. How do you think science is going to advance? YOU CHUMPS!
Let’s just save that tweet, simply to make sure that it doesn’t disappear when Twitter inevitably suspends Dr. Gold.
Note these final words from Dr. Gold.
“And we have been proven right, again and again, and again.“
Dr. Simone Gold, AFLD
Dr. Gold is not lying. Throughout COVID-19, free and independent doctors and scientists have been LEADING captive science and captive medicine against their BIASED FUNDERS AND CONTROLLERS – which clearly include GOOGLE now.
The “concensus” science has repeatedly and continuously been ABNORMALLY WRONG due to BIAS, and has required continuous correction by – very sadly – OUTSIDERS.
Science does not progress by sticking to consensus. It advances by CHALLENGE TO CONSENSUS. Google is INTERFERING with that process. SHAME!!!
In my opinion, “they” are all scared.
And the reason they’re scared it this.
Now – as insurance companies look around to see who picks up the tab for people dying from the ERRORS OF THE CONSENSUS, it sure ain’t gonna be able to pin it on the people who WARNED about the experimental vaccines.
It may indeed be that some of the blame (moral, even if not monetary) will land on those who CENSORED THE SAVING WARNINGS.
Over and over, people like Google censored us because they said that the things WE SAID were not true, and yet it turned out that the things we said WERE true, and that the consensus THEY said was true, was both WRONG and responsible for MANY DEATHS.
And THIS may be the biggest CENSORED TRUTH of all.

Here is that image within the tweet, in more detail.
So what is McCullough talking about? And what is Twitter hiding?
Academic Editor: Stephen Malnick Curr. Issues Mol. Biol. 2022, 44(3), 1115-1126; https://doi.org/10.3390/cimb44030073 (registering DOI) Received: 18 January 2022 / Revised: 19 February 2022 / Accepted: 23 February 2022 / Published: 25 February 2022 (This article belongs to the Topic Clinical, Translational and Basic Research on Liver Diseases)
Abstract
Preclinical studies of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine BNT162b2, developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, showed reversible hepatic effects in animals that received the BNT162b2 injection. Furthermore, a recent study showed that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be reverse-transcribed and integrated into the genome of human cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of BNT162b2 on the human liver cell line Huh7 in vitro. Huh7 cells were exposed to BNT162b2, and quantitative PCR was performed on RNA extracted from the cells. We detected high levels of BNT162b2 in Huh7 cells and changes in gene expression of long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1), which is an endogenous reverse transcriptase. Immunohistochemistry using antibody binding to LINE-1 open reading frame-1 RNA-binding protein (ORFp1) on Huh7 cells treated with BNT162b2 indicated increased nucleus distribution of LINE-1. PCR on genomic DNA of Huh7 cells exposed to BNT162b2 amplified the DNA sequence unique to BNT162b2. Our results indicate a fast up-take of BNT162b2 into human liver cell line Huh7, leading to changes in LINE-1 expression and distribution. We also show that BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA in as fast as 6 h upon BNT162b2 exposure.
I have discussed the Jaenisch paper numerous times since I became aware of it in December of 2020, and more importantly in March of 2021.
In fact, in the following blog post I made in April of 2021, I actually hypothesized a scenario which is basically the findings of the De Marinis paper!!!
Alternate Title: Is Persistent Reverse Transcription a Hidden Virus/Vaccine Objective? Gloating Pre-Preface There are few feelings of satisfaction like opening up the NEWS and knowing one’s theories and understandings are WORKING even better than one thought. Let’s see if they use this one for damage control, and get the “new science” out before the STORY …
Now – let me state, in the simplest possible way, what these papers mean.
The Jaenish paper proves that the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus alters human DNA.
The De Marinis paper proves that the Pfizer mRNA vaccine also alters human DNA.
Oh, there are quibbles that I’m “oversimplifying”, but they’re just quibbles, and I will show you WHY they are not just quibbles, but extremely disingenuous ones.
And please note that I am UNDERSTATING when I just say “alters DNA”. The Jaenish paper proves that the viral DNA changes are going into GENOMIC DNA. The De Marinis paper strongly suggests that THE SAME may be happening due to the vaccine.
But before I give you MY take on the De Marinis paper, let me give you the opinions of OTHERS.
Let’s review one first.
Peter McCullough:
Alden et al, Lund University, Sweden, confirms one of our worst fears. The exogenous genetic material coding for the dangerous Spike protein is reverse-transcribed into the human genome; possible long-term constitutive expression/synthesis of disease promoting/lethal Spike.
Translation: The pseudo-mRNA code for the spike protein in the Pfizer vaccine gets into the genomic DNA inside human cells in test tube experiments, and produces both DNA and mRNA coding for what was uniquely in the vaccine. This new cellular DNA and RNA very likely (as a consequence) produces spike protein, causing long-term disease and health issues.
One can legitimately contest the assertion that genomic DNA is being altered (we don’t know this yet – hopefully soon), but any denial of the fact that CELLULAR DNA is being changed, is simply not “fact-based”.
For example, I saw “downplay trolls” on the original McCullough tweet, quibbling about in vivo vs. in vitro – that these results don’t “prove” that the same thing happens in living humans – only in living human cells in a test tube.
The reason this is a hypocritical crock of shit, is that “due to an abundance of caution”, almost every single “carcinogen” and other “bad boy chemical” that is restricted or controlled in the United States, at the cost of trillions of dollars which go into the pockets of the deep state and China, is because of IN VITRO results.
Thus, if it’s OK to have vaccines that do what Pfizer’s vaccine does, then it’s OK to remove the restrictions on benzene, and have benzene everywhere. Likewise for thousands of other chemicals.
Starting to see how this works? Let’s move on.
Alex Berenson:
Hey, remember how they told you the mRNA in the vaccines could NEVER wind up in human DNA? A new study out of Sweden suggests otherwise (at least in lab-grown cells).
Don’t worry, everything is fine.
After all, we have all that long-term placebo-controlled clinical trial data proving the safety of these mRNA shots.*
So About Not Needing Actual Study…[Comments enabled]
Oh, mRNA won’t get taken up into cell lines and thus can’t propagate on a permanent basis in the human body, we were told.
Indeed that’s rather important. Mutagenic (cancer), cytotoxic (you’re ****ed) and teratogenic (any child you give birth to or sire is ****ed) things that get into cellular DNA can lead to irreversible damage because most cells in the body are replaced on regular basis.
There’s an infamous quote that is in fact wrong: Our body fully replaces itself every seven years. That’s not true. It came out of a study that looked at the average age of cells in a human, using Carbon-14 dating. Anyone who has done any sort of statistical work knows the problem with averages: They are just that, and the statistical outliers are there but unaccounted for with such simplistic tripe.
There are several types of cells that are never replaced. Certain ones in the cerebellum, for example, that deal with coordination and balance, those in the ocular lenses and the eggs in a woman’s ovaries.
There are also cells that are much more-frequently replaced. Red blood cells, for example, have a roughly 90 day life cycle. This is why an A1c test, which measures glycated hemoglobin (that is, red cells that have been damaged by glucose) will tell you what your average blood glucose level has been over the last three months. The epithelial cells in your intestines last only about five days, and the live (dermal) part of your skin is replaced in about 2 weeks. Skeletal muscle and the rest of your intestines, on the other hand, are good for around 15 years.
But with few exceptions it is indeed true that most cells are in fact replaced. This is why you can get cancer; when there is an error in that replication the result can be a cell that has wildly damaged regulatory mechanisms on self-replication. If that damage kills the cell immediately then there’s no real foul, but if it leads to much more rapid reproduction…… that’s cancer.
We have known for quite a while that viruses can and do in some cases infiltrate into DNA. We know this because we’ve found pieces of viral RNA in our genome and not a few of them either; they’re literally all over the human genomic code. It’s wildly improbable that said congruence happened by random alignment of the various codons in our genetic code; ergo, it got in there at some point in evolution and then got into either the eggs of a developing female fetus or the sperm of a male and thus propagated. We only know, of course, about the integrations that weren’t fatal to offspring or the person in question. We also know that in general genetic mutation is harmful or fatal nearly all the time, so that we have said evidence in our genome means this sort of thing happens quite frequently and most of the time it screws the person who has it happen to them.
Indeed some cancers are blamed on viral infections where the viral RNA gets transcribed into the DNA of the cells and causes said errors.
mRNA is not really “new” technology; Moderna has been trying to make it work for cancer, for example, for a long time — without success. The reason for failure has always been dose-related toxicity that has overtaken the benefit when used in sufficient quantity to actually deliver a therapeutic effect. This is not an uncommon reason for drug and therapy failure; in fact that too happens all the time.
But we didn’t bother doing intermediate and longer-term study on the specifics of using mRNA (or, for that matter, a modified virus as with J&J) to deliver a partial viral payload in this regard before rolling it out. Instead, we just trusted that there’d be no integration. Indeed zero epigenic, mutagenic and teratogenic studies were done;they take years to do and we just flat-out didn’t bother. Where we had original control groups in the summer and fall of 2020 we intentionally destroyed them by giving the placebo arm of the original trials the drug three months later, making analysis on any sort of clean analytical basis impossible.
This was wild arrogance given that we know viruses do indeed integrate via infection. To presume it won’t happen here, when we cause cells to produce viral proteins, when the very same thing, producing viruses when a cell is infected, sometimes does is ridiculously and wildly-irresponsible arrogance.
In the BNT162b2 toxicity report, no genotoxicity nor carcinogenicity studies have been provided [26]. Our study shows that BNT162b2 can be reverse transcribed to DNA in liver cell line Huh7, and this may give rise to the concern if BNT162b2-derived DNA may be integrated into the host genome and affect the integrity of genomic DNA, which may potentially mediate genotoxic side effects. At this stage, we do not know if DNA reverse transcribed from BNT162b2 is integrated into the cell genome.
This study does not prove that said genetic pollution has occurred, but it raises the distinct possibility as the precursor events required for this to occur are now known to happen with scientific certainty.
We don’t know because we deliberately did not look; the studies were not done prior to use.
Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (abbreviated as gDNA[1]) is chromosomal DNA, in contrast to extra-chromosomal DNAs like plasmids. Most organisms have the same genomic DNA in every cell; however, only certain genes are active in each cell to allow for cell function and differentiation within the body.[2]
The genome of an organism (encoded by the genomic DNA) is the (biological) information of heredity which is passed from one generation of organism to the next. That genome is transcribed to produce various RNAs, which are necessary for the function of the organism. Precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) is transcribed by RNA polymerase II in the nucleus. pre-mRNA is then processed by splicing to remove introns, leaving the exons in the mature messenger RNA (mRNA). Additional processing includes the addition of a 5′ cap and a poly(A) tail to the pre-mRNA. The mature mRNA may then be transported to the cytosol and translated by the ribosome into a protein. Other types of RNA include ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA). These types are transcribed by RNA polymerase II and RNA polymerase III, respectively, and are essential for protein synthesis. However 5s rRNA is the only rRNA which is transcribed by RNA Polymerase III.[3]
Used in a sentence:
While we tend to be more concerned about changes to genomic DNA, changes to any kind of human DNA are potentially problematic.
