Researcher accused of being “bought” by Fauci

Early on during the covid crisis, researcher Kristian Andersen stuck his neck out when he pointed out that the coronavirus did not seem to be of natural origin – but rather gave the impression of being artificially created.

However, after talks with the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, the scientist quickly came out and condemned speculation about human involvement as “conspiracy theories”, leading Andersen to be accused of being “bought out” – partly because government funding for his research increased after he changed his mind on the issue.

Kristian Andersen, a researcher and professor in the Department of Immunology and Microbiology at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, emailed US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Anthony Fauci on the 31st of January 2020, warning that there were many indications that the virus did not come from any animal at all.

“You have to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (potentially) appear to be engineered… Eddie (Holmes), Bob (Garry), Mike (Ferguson) and myself all believe that the genome is inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory,” he wrote at the time.

The next day, Fauci organized a conference call with 11 virologists from across the world – including Kristian Andersen, who less than 24 hours earlier had sent the email stating that the virus appeared to be engineered. However, Fauci’s boss, health department head Robert Kadlec, was not invited to the conference.

It is not known what was said during the conversation, but four days after the conference took place, Mr Andersen suddenly made a 180-degree turn and went public to warn against conspiracy theories about man-made covid – despite the fact that he himself had just warned about the same thing.

“The main conspiracy theories circulating at the moment are that the virus is somehow engineered … and that is demonstrably false,” Mr Andersen declared at the time.

Financial motives?

A few weeks later, Kristian Andersen and three other participants from the video conference with Fauci authored a scientific article published in Nature Medicine, claiming, among other things, that “our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory product”. According to The Federalist, Andersen also offered Fauci to edit the article before publication.

In their 2021 article, The Federalist points out that the information from Fauci’s email indicates that he was aware of scientists’ concerns about man-made covid as early as 1 February 2020. Yet he chose to keep this information secret from his superiors and the American people, people who speculated that the virus had leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan were dismissed as conspiracy theorists and were subjected to character assassination.

In an interview with the New York Times, Mr Andersen explains his reversal by saying that his internal warnings to Mr Fauci were based on “limited data” and “preliminary analyses” – which he soon revised as more information became available.

However, a report by researcher and epidemiologist Andrew G Huff – former vice-president of the EcoHealth Alliance, a New York-based group that has worked closely with the notorious Wuhan lab – suggests that it may have been purely financial motives that caused Andersen to change his mind on the issue.

“Kristian Andersen, who in late January wrote to Fauci expressing his concern that SARS-Co-V-2 contained sequences that appeared to be man-made, led a group that published an article in Nature on 17 March 2020, supporting the theory that the virus is transmitted from animals to humans. Following this, Andersen received a generous grant from the National Institutes of Health. “At this point, we have no way of knowing whether this was a form of quid pro quo, but it can at least be concluded that this does not pass the ‘smell test'”, he writes.

He emphasizes that the National Institutes of Health, which funds medical research in the US, “dramatically increased” its funding for Andersen’s research after he changed his mind on the origin of COVID-19 and started arguing for a natural origin instead of an artificial one.

Kristian Andersen’s funding, according to Huff.

Renewed attention

Huff’s report was released in September 2022 – but the issue of whether there may have been financial incentives for scientists to revise their position on the origin of the virus has been widely publicised again. This is due to the fact that an account belonging to the Libertarian Party in the US has drawn attention to the issue and refers to documents that support the theory.

The man on the left is Kristian Andersen, a British scientist who emailed Fauci 1/31/20, saying the virus looks lab-made. The man on the right is Kristian Andersen, the guy who Fauci called on 2/1/20 and ordered to publicly say it wasn’t lab-made, which he did. Fauci then gave… https://t.co/UDzIhNb37k pic.twitter.com/LY7ttS23kJ

Many interpret these findings as an example of the fact that researchers are primarily loyal to their financiers – and that Fauci’s behaviour is a further indication that the US was directly involved in the development of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. At the same time, Huff’s compilation is also questioned as sloppy, pointing out that Andersen is presented as a British researcher – even though he is Danish, and that it cannot currently be proven that his change of opinion is a result of increased funding.

Comment: An entire world was injected – but the silence about the long-term side effects is total

The criticized covid vaccinations

Jenny Piper

Early warnings about the long-term risks of experimental mRNA vaccines were dismissed as conspiracy theorists and quacks. In hindsight, most evidence suggests that their fears were justified and new findings indicate that the vaccines can cause long-term changes in the genetic structure of the body.

{ $opinionDisclaimer }

Even at the beginning of the mass vaccination hysteria, I often wrote about the risks of taking the mRNA vaccine shots because the long-term side effects of this fast-acting so-called vaccine are unknown and will only become apparent in a few years.

Whistleblowers from within the pharmaceutical industry had also flagged this very aspect early on – that it is designed to seek out possible weaknesses in people’s immune systems, where it accelerates the development of cancer, autoimmune diseases and cardiovascular diseases. This was of course dismissed as quackery and conspiracy theories, which is why the vast majority of the population rolled up their sleeves at least twice.

Now, a new peer-reviewed study from Germany on mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines shows that they can cause long-term changes in the body’s genetic structure – changes that in turn can trigger inflammatory reactions, autoimmune conditions and, in some cases, cancer.

19 researchers at leading German institutions conducted the study, which was published in Molecular Systems Biology at the end of March. It shows a possible link between mRNA vaccines and epigenetic changes in immune cells, specifically linked to a protein called histone 3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac), a protein that has been associated with leukemia and brain tumors.

Histones act as “coils” around which the DNA strand is wound, helping to give DNA its three-dimensional structure. Changes in these proteins affect how genes are expressed. The looser the histones are, the more actively the DNA is transcribed, which in some cases can stimulate tumor growth.

The researchers analyzed how the chromosomes of macrophages (a type of white blood cell) are affected by mRNA vaccination. The results showed persistent epigenetic changes in these cells, which could explain some post-vaccination inflammatory diseases.

Histone modifications – where the structure of DNA is altered without changing the DNA code itself – can play an important role in how genes are expressed. In this case, the researchers found a change in H3K27ac that persisted for months after vaccination, raising concerns about possible long-term effects on the immune system.

According to the researchers, changes in H3K27ac can be linked to several cancers, including gliomas (brain tumors) and leukemia. Other studies, including those from China and Poland, have also linked this particular type of histone modification to cancer.

Several scientists and experts have commented on the study.

Alex Berenson, an independent journalist, says the results show how mRNA vaccines can affect chromosomes in a way that is associated with brain tumors and leukemia.

Nicolas Hulscher, an epidemiologist, says the study adds to a growing body of evidence that mRNA vaccines can disrupt the balance of the immune system and lead to chronic inflammatory conditions.

Jessica Rose, Ph.D., immunologist and biochemist, points out that it is already known that repeated injections cause immunological changes and that these changes can reach stem cells and affect the long-term functioning of the immune system.

Other studies have shown that the levels of synthetic DNA in some vaccine doses (from Pfizer and Moderna) have been well above permissible limits – in some cases up to 470 times higher than regulatory guidelines allow.

The fact that so-called turbo cancer has risen sharply in recent years is hardly a coincidence. Unfortunately, I think we have only seen the beginning of this – and the Swedish establishment has put a lid on the whole thing.

Researchers create unique brain map using mouse and movie clips

Using a mouse to watch various movie clips, including The Matrix, scientists have created the largest ever functional 3D map of part of a mammalian brain. The high-resolution map contains more than 200 000 brain cells.

Thoughts, emotions, speech and movements are controlled by neurons in the brain that send signals via axons, dendrites and synapses. But how networks of neurons interact – and how disruptions in these connections can contribute to diseases such as Alzheimer’s or autism – is not yet fully understood.

– You can make a thousand hypotheses about how brain cells might do their job, but you can’t test those hypotheses unless you know perhaps the most fundamental thing – how are those cells wired together, Clay Reid, a researcher at the Allen Institute, tells CBC.

A new project, presented in a total of eight studies by a global team of more than 150 scientists, aims to take brain research a step further by mapping parts of a mouse brain. For two hours, the mouse was shown various clips from movies, including The Matrix, and then researchers were able to map cells in one cubic millimeter of the mouse’s brain tissue, creating a high-resolution 3D map. It contains over 200 000 brain cells, of which about 82 000 are neurons.

The previous most detailed map of a human brain contains 16 000 neurons.

Like looking at the “stars at night”

The new map also captures the activity of tens of thousands of neurons that fire signals and interact with each other to process visual information. The results “are really stunningly beautiful”, says Forrest Collman, a neuroscientist at the Allen Institute, who co-authored the study.

– Looking at it really gives you an awe about the sense of complexity in the brain that is very much akin to looking up at the stars at night, he tells Nature.

The researchers call the project a new fundamental step in brain research and believe that the technique developed could be useful for identifying disorders in the brain. The next step is to map an entire mouse brain.

– The technologies developed by this project will give us our first chance to really identify some kind of abnormal pattern of connectivity that gives rise to a disorder, says Sebastian Seung, a Princeton neuroscientist and computer scientist, one of the study’s lead researchers.

Study: Deaths after covid vaccine were in most cases due to the shot

The criticized covid vaccinations

In a new study, doctors infer covid vaccine as a direct or contributing cause in three out of four cases of 325 autopsies reviewed where individuals took the injections before death.

The researchers reviewed a total of 44 scientific articles with a total of 325 autopsy cases found of people who died after being injected with COVID-19 vaccine. To find the articles, search terms such as “COVID-19 Vaccine”, “SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine”, “COVID Vaccination”, “Post-mortem” and “Autopsy” were used.

In each case, three independent doctors reviewed the autopsy results to assess whether the COVID vaccine could be the direct cause or a contributing cause of death.

Among others, former cardiologist Peter McCullough is one of the researchers behind the study. McCullough has been a very strong critic of the covid policy including the mass vaccination campaign, and strongly urged, among other things, that people under the age of 50 and those who had the infection did not need to inject themselves with the covid vaccines.

Myocarditis and sudden cardiac death

The study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Public Health Policy and the Law, shows that in 74% of cases, at least two out of three physicians considered the COVID-19 vaccination to be a direct or contributing cause of death.

The most common causes of death were sudden cardiac death, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, VITT (vaccine-induced thrombosis), myocarditis, inflammatory syndrome and cerebral hemorrhage. Most deaths studied occurred within a week of vaccination.

Commenting on the study, Swedish physician Nils Littorin says the results are striking.

 

Translation of above tweet: “This is BIG! New medical study of autopsied deaths after COVID-19 vaccine shows that 74% of 326 cases were caused by the vaccine.
The heart and vascular system were the most common organ systems to be injured, followed by hematological and respiratory.” 

Call for in-depth studies

According to the authors, the patterns revealed by the study suggest a causal link between COVID-19 vaccination and increased mortality, while calling for much more extensive and in-depth studies in this area.

“Further urgent investigation is required for the purpose of clarifying our findings”, the researchers write.

Game of Thrones wolf recreated

Biodiversity

Three pups of the giant wolf, also known as the dire wolf, have now been re-created by scientists in Texas. It is the first successful case in the world of so-called “de-extinction” – the revival of a previously extinct animal.

The Aenocyon species went extinct about 12 500 years ago and lived in North America. It was larger than its living relative the wolf, growing to around 1.5 meters in height and weighing between 50 and 80 kilograms. It also had thicker fur and a wider jaw than our modern-day wolf.

Researchers at the biotech company Colossal Bioscience have extracted DNA from fossils of the extinct giant wolf and examined them to determine genetic characteristics such as color, fur and size. The information was then used to modify cells of the modern-day relative, the gray wolf. In total, genetic modifications have been made in 14 different genes. Healthy developed embryos were then transferred to domestic dogs, which were large mixed-breed dogs, which then served as surrogate mothers.

– Our team took DNA from a 13,000 year old tooth and a 72,000 year old skull and made healthy dire wolf puppies, said Ben Lamm, Colossal’s co-founder and CEO, according to CNN.

On October 1, 2024, two male pups were born, and in January of this year, a female was also born.

Game of Thrones author invests

The giant wolf, known as the dire wolf, has made a strong mark on popular culture – not least in books, movies and TV shows. It is best known from the fantasy series Game of Thrones, where the Stark family has a dire wolf as their pet and weapon symbol.

In fact, the author of the book series, George R R Martin, is an investor in the company and the genetically modified wolves. He is also a “cultural advisor” to the company, which has also issued a press release on the cultural influence of the species. The books were also made into a popular TV series by HBO.

The males are named Romulus and Remus, while the female pup is named Khaleesi, which is a title given to the character Daenerys in the book series – who is not a member of the Stark family, but of the Targaryens, who have a dragon on their sigil.

Not a “dire wolf”

Although the scientists behind the genetically modified puppies claim that they are “de-extinction”, other researchers point out that this is not quite the case. The similarities are mainly in appearance, not in the DNA itself.

– This is a grey wolf with an edited genome, not a dire wolf, genome scientist Emily Roycroft told ABC. The genetic edits may have given these wolves a lighter coat to look reminiscent of a dire wolf – but what makes a species is more than just skin deep.

The biotech company emphasizes that the goal is not to recreate species with exact genetic identity, but to create so-called “functional copies”. The technology behind the giant wolf is also hoped to be used to help endangered animals.

– Our goal with de-extinction is always create functional copies of these extinct species. We were focusing on identifying variants that we knew would lead to one of these key traits, says Beth Shapiro, Colossal’s chief scientific officer.

Secret location

Today, the three pups live in a secret location with a 2,000-hectare area with a three-meter-high fence that is constantly monitored by security personnel, drones and even cameras. The pups are used to humans, but not tame, and are still in a juvenile phase.

– We’re still seeing a lot of juvenile behaviors.  We haven’t seen them really fully express all of their behavior, said Matt James, Colossal’s animal manager. They’re an amazing opportunity for us to learn tons and tons about de-extinction, about cloning, about genetic editing and all the effects after that.

Colossol is also working towards reviving the mammoth, dodo and Tasmanian tiger.
