Today’s Health Friday post, as it relates to COVID-19 and the COVID-19 “vaccines”, is dedicated to the memory of Yours Truly’s cousin Bill, who died “suddenly and unexpectedly” in September 2023. Health Friday is a series of offerings related to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. However, the discussion is not limited to what is presented today: It is an Open Thread.
To begin, there are Important Wolf Moon Notifications, with a couple of extra items:
Free speech is practiced here: “Use it or lose it.”
The following are alternate Q Tree sites for certain circumstances:
The U Tree is for “argue it out” interactions.
The Rescue Thread at the U Tree: click on the Featured article there.
The Third site, in case the above two are not accessible.
Civil discussion is practiced here. The excellent and timely Rules of our late. good Wheatie prevail:
One: No food fights.
Two: No running with scissors.
Three: If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Please follow the Added Guidelines as expressed. Please do not give the modern-day version of Cato the Elder the opportunity to show “enmity” to the board.
The extra items:
What Yours Truly presents in this series, as in her previous blog posts for this board, is not medical advice — they are opinions and hypotheses based on her over 4 1/2 years (and continuing) of reading about, researching about, and writing about, “all things COVID”, Big Pharma, and other health topics. Readers are encouraged to consult a healthcare practitioner regarding health concerns or conditions.

Dear Mr. Steve Kirsch:
Greetings. The writer of this post is a regular reader of your Substack site. Many thanks for all your efforts in exposing the truth about the COVID-19 “vaccines.” This is a response to your blog post of 30 August 2024, The COVID shots are fueling the rise of ME/CFS cases. While it is true that ME/CFS can present symptoms that are similar to that of “Long COVID”, I suspect that there may well be other items in play. To start, I am including an image of the VAERS chart that is in your blog post:
The incidence reports of CFS (ME/CFS) after taking COVID-19 “vaccines” far outstrips all of the other vaccines listed.
The Statement from the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut on “Post-Vac Syndrome” after COVID-19 Vaccination, regarding the PEI study mentioned in your post: www.pei.de/EN/newsroom/positions/covid-19-vaccines/statement-postvac.html, of 19 May 2023, has this (a portion of the screenshot):
I note that the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut is an agency of the German federal government. It is the equivalent to the FDA in the United States.
ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also called Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome), is a medical condition that is difficult to diagnose and to treat: see Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, per Wikipedia. For years, the condition has eluded efforts to isolate and identify elements that cause it; until fairly recently, only the presenting symptoms were recognized and treated: www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/chronic-fatigue-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20360490; and, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/chronic-fatigue-syndrome/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20360510. However, there have been recent discoveries that relate to one potential element in ME/CFS: mitochondrial dysfunction that interferes with a protein called WASF3. It appears that high levels of WASF3 can create what may be called a “cellular energy deficit”, which, in turn, can create fatigue. One example of the research on this is here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2302738120, WASF3 disrupts mitochondrial respiration and may mediate exercise intolerance in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, Paul H. Hwang, et al., 14 August 2023. WASF3 is a component of the Human Chromosome 13: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Genes_on_human_chromosome_13, click on “Next Page” at the bottom of the A-U alphabetical list of proteins on the article.
ME/CFS conditions existed well before either the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus itself, or the COVID-19 “vaccines” — per Wikipedia, Dr. Melvin Ramsay “published the first diagnostic criteria for ME” (Myalgic encephalomyelitis) in 1986. (Wikipedia search “history of ME/CFS”) However, cases of ME/CFS began to present in otherwise healthy people after they contracted a case of COVID-19 early on in the COVID-19 pandemic (before the COVID-19 “vaccines” were in use.) One such case is summarized here, in the Yale Medicine blog: Long COVID, ME/CFS and the Importance of Studying Infection-Associated Illnesses, 13 May 2024, by Osman Moneer. Below is a screenshot from the article:
Note: “Dr. Deborah F.” is not her real name.
There also may be a link between ME/CFS, Long COVID, and negative emotional-psychological outcomes: Infections, ME/CFS, Long COVID and Psychosis: Is There a Link?, 16 July 2023, by Cort Johnson. A screenshot from part of The Gist section of the article is below:
This opens up the question, What is in the COVID-19 virus itself, and therefore in the COVID-19 “vaccines”, that can induce ME/CFS (Post-viral Fatigue)? Yours Truly turns to the report that Pfizer-BioNTech gave to the FDA on 30 April 2021, regarding post-authorization Adverse Event Reports submitted to the company in people who took the first injection of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” BNT162b2, between 12 December 2020 (the date on which the FDA granted the initial authorization for BNT162b2 to be used in the United States) and 28 February 2021. The report is here, via FOIA release: www.phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/reissue_5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf. Page 30 of this report is the APPENDIX 1. LIST OF ADVERSE EVENTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST. This is a nine-page listing of over 1,200 serious Adverse Events that occurred in people who were “vaccinated” with BNT162b2 during the report period. Page one of this list has two types of damage to the mitochondria reported: “Alanine aminotransferase increased”; and, “Antimitochondrial antibody positive”. Page three lists “Chronic fatigue syndrome.” Page five lists “Immune-mediated encephalitis” and “Immune-mediated encephalopathy.” Page seven lists “Post viral fatigue syndrome.” In other words, at least six types of mitochondrial, neurological. or “body-wide” issues that are induced by modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, which can present in various forms, including CFS or ME/CFS.
There is also a link between the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and the COVID-19 “vaccines.” EBV can be an “adjunct” presenting condition related to ME/CFS. Yours Truly found one paper, by Japanese researchers, on EBV presenting after “vaccination” with BNT162b2 (the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccine”, [Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoproliferative disorders after BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccination], from 2023. Only the Abstract is available in English. It is below:
It is now known that the COVID-19 “vaccines” (actually, gene therapy injections) do the following to the “vaccinated” person’s body:
Cross the Blood-Brain barrier (BBB); interfere with / damage / destroy mitochondrial elements and mechanisms; can induce negative effects / interfere with neurological elements and mechanisms; can induce onset of psychological issues, including psychosis; interfere with / damage or destroy, elements and mechanisms of the natural immune system (citations below.) These negative effects, in Yours Truly’s opinion, all have a bearing on the causation and presentation of COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced or aggravated ME/CFS. In order for these to occur, again in Yours Truly’s opinion, certain specific elements had to have been “inserted” into the lab-created SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus itself (and, by extension, into the lab-enhanced COVID-19 “vaccines”) to induce these types of damage. Perhaps it was a specific element that interacts with the WASF3 protein; perhaps it was a specific element that interacts with a component of the Epstein-Barr virus. Perhaps it was a specific element that interacts / interferes with other aspects of Human Chromosome 13. Perhaps it was all of these. I believe that ongoing research into the actual ingredients of the modRNA of the COVID-19 “vaccines” will eventually reveal the answers.
In addition, there are the following lipid nanoparticle (LNP) ingredients in the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”:
For the Pfizer-BioNTech “vaccines”: ALC-0159, ALC-0315, and PEG2000-DMG; for the Moderna “vaccines”: SM-102, ALC-0315, and PEG2000-DMG. All of these lipid nanoparticles are dangerous. All of them are to be used for research only, not for use in diagnosis or therapeutics for humans or for animals. All of them specifically “evade” the “vaccinated” person’s natural immune system’s “Are you a friend or a foe?” recognition and elimination mechanisms. They facilitate “access” of the ingredients and mechanisms of these modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” to induce damage / destruction of the IgG3 “fight it off” immune system cells in the “vaccinated” person’s body; and, at the same time, to increase the amount of IgG4 “tolerate and never clear” immune system cells. This process is called the “Class Switch” done by the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines.” (Citations below.)
In Summary: The COVID-19 virus itself can induce multiple negative medical effects on persons who contract an infection of the virus, including ME/CFS. The COVID-19 “vaccines”, which contain elements of the COVID-19 virus itself (in addition to other lab “enhancements” for these “vaccines”, such as the lipid nanoparticles), can therefore also induce multiple negative medical effects in persons who take these injectables, including ME/CFS. In addition, both the COVID-19 virus itself, and, by extension, the COVID-19 “vaccines”, can induce and/or aggravate negative psychological conditions. I believe that these “vaccines” need to be banned outright immediately and removed from the market across the world, until and unless such time they are completely reformulated and thoroughly tested (including testing by independent labs) for human safety, efficacy, toxicity, mutagenesis potential, and reproductive effects potential.
It is my opinion that: One, that all people, COVID-19 “vaccinated” or not, follow a personal program to acquire and maintain the highest degree of natural immune system health as possible; and, Two, that all people investigate any vaccine that is recommended (or “mandated”), then, to decide whether or not to take the injectable(s.)
