FAUCI: VACCINES NOT A GOOD STRATEGY TO CONTROL RESPIRATORY VIRUSES

The report could almost be pulled from the pages of POPULAR RATIONALISM.

 
JAMES LYONS-WEILER
FEB 29, 2024

In a shocking report (Morens et al., 2023), Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has raised dire concerns about the efficacy of mRNA vaccines in combating respiratory viruses. This statement marks a 180-degree turn away from previous statements and public health strategies that have heavily relied on mRNA technology to curb the spread of diseases like COVID-19.

“RETHINKING” After Attempting to Force-Vaccinate the Entire Population of the Planet

In January 2023, Fauci, and two colleagues, outlined concerns rooted in the interplay between respiratory viruses and the human immune system. Unlike systemic infections, they claim, respiratory viruses primarily replicate in the mucosal linings of the airways, posing unique challenges for vaccine-induced immunity. This, of course, is not true; the virus replicates in any cell with an ACE2 receptor, and the highest density of virus detected in the lining of the gut. But we’ll move on from Fauci’s inability to grasp the full scientific literature.

Here are the key arguments underpinning Fauci et al.’s reversed position:

  1. Mucosal vs. Systemic Immunity: mRNA vaccines are designed to elicit systemic immune responses, primarily through the generation of neutralizing antibodies. However, respiratory viruses require a robust mucosal immune response for effective neutralization and clearance. Fauci and colleagues argue that mRNA vaccines, in their current form, do not adequately stimulate mucosal immunity, potentially limiting their effectiveness against respiratory pathogens.

  2. Durability of Protection: Another concern they point to involves the duration of protection offered by mRNA vaccines. Respiratory viruses, including influenza and coronaviruses, exhibit high mutation rates, leading to the emergence of new variants. The implication is that mRNA vaccines may not provide long-lasting immunity against these ever-evolving threats, requiring frequent updates and booster shots. (*SMH*).

  3. Immune Imprinting: The phenomenon of “original antigenic sin” or immune imprinting is also highlighted as a potential issue. This concept suggests that exposure to a specific viral strain via vaccination could bias the immune system’s response to future infections, making it less effective against different strains. While mRNA vaccines can be quickly updated, repeated vaccinations might reinforce this imprinting, potentially complicating responses to new variants.

Pardon me while I duct-tape my head to keep it from exploding.

**Comment**

After admitting that the past and the present has yielded unsuccessful attempts to elicit solid protection against respiratory viruses, but conveniently leaving out adverse reactions and death, predictably, Fauci et al. conclude that “vaccine” research & development is the answer.  Translation: continue the narrative at all costs and use millions in tax-payer dollars under the guise of ‘public health’ for flu vaccines despite all evidence that they don’t work and never will.

Rather than espouse to the power of natural immunity and find effective treatments to support it, the authors are ‘excited’ to rethink all past assumptions and approaches and work to find bold new paths. Translation: ‘bold new paths’ myopically focuses on ‘vaccines’ and the continued narrative at all costs and uses millions in tax-payer dollars despite all evidence ‘vaccines’ fail to eradicate disease, and often cause harm and death, but we will slap the word ‘novel’ on it to make it sound scientific.

What are these bold new paths? 

Simply put: these mad scientists will not be happy until they use up all the taxpayer’s money for novel but ineffective ‘vaccines,’ and we are all 10 feet underground.  

Please read the article in full because Weiler delineates how Fauci gives lies within lies – something he is expert at. He also points out that despite all the admissions, the ineffective influenza vaccine program remains ….ineffective as ever. Fauci never discusses the known antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) which is a major obstacle in ‘vaccine’ development.

Weiler also rightly questions where Fauci’s concerns were prior to 2020 and why didn’t public health policy reflect this reality?

Questions that will never be answered because they would yield truth and we can’t have that.

Important excerpt:

Because humans inhale and ingest enormous quantities of exogenous proteins with every breath and mouthful, the respiratory and gastrointestinal immune compartments have evolved to deal with continual and massive antigenic assaults from the outside world.

Since mucosal and systemic immunity only partially protects against infection with mucosal respiratory viruses, we must take advantage of alternative host immune mechanisms….

Interestingly, the article mentions the 1918 Spanish Flu. What isn’t mentioned is the military experiment that attempted to infect soldiers with this acclaimed deadly virus by infecting their lung tissue from sick or deceased patients, putting infected tissue into their eyes and spraying it in their noses and throats, taking the blood from sick patients and injecting it directly into the healthy, standing over the sick and breathing in deeply as the sick coughed on them. 

Out of 300 subjects, NOBODY got the flu, or even got ill!

Yet, the mantra remains that a person who touches something with the virus on it and then touches his or her mouth, eyes or nose can become infected.

Interestingly at the time, the AMA advised up to 30 grams a day of aspirin causing aspirin poisoning, which causes hyperventilation and buildup of fluid in the lungs, and it’s now believed that many of the October deaths were actually caused or hastened by aspirin poisoning.

And so, history repeats itself.  

Similarly to the Spanish Flu, many claim COVID hasn’t been isolated, directly causes illness, is even a new disease, and that the deployed treatments have caused the very symptoms of the disease itself that have proven to be deadly. 

Coincidence?

US Gov Funding More Gain-of-Function Research for Bird Flu Says Watchdog Group

The following is important to keep in mind while reading the article below:
Despite all of the above, the MO remains the same and continues unabated with your tax-dollars

U.S. Government is Funding Gain-of-Function Research in China to Make Bird Flu More Infectious

by Carolyn Hendler, JD

Published February 26, 2024

The U.S government is again funding gain-of-function (GoF) research with Chinese scientists to make a dangerous virus even more potent. This time it is with birds not bats. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) gave $1 million to fund risky research on bird flu viruses to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China; the USDA Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory in Athena, Georgia and the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute in Scotland.1

The plan is to infect ducks and geese with various strains of bird flu to render the virus more infectious and transmissible as scientists study the virus’s ability, “to jump into mammalian hosts.”

Documents outlining the research, which began in 2021 and will continue until 2026, were obtained by the White Coat Waste Project. The White Coat Waste Project is a nonprofit “bipartisan taxpayer watchdog organization” with a mission to “unite animal-lovers and liberty-lovers to find, expose and defund wasteful and cruel taxpayer-funded animal experimentation.”2

Bird Flu Research Tied to Wuhan Institute of Virology

It is worth noting that one of the research partners, the Roslin Institute, is connected to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) whose research is believed to have started the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. One of the researchers on the project, Wenju Liu, is affiliated with the WIV along with the “bat lady” herself, Zheng-Li Shi, well known for her long-time work on bat corona viruses.3

The research is focusing on three strains of bird flu, H5NX, H7N9 and H9N2, all three of which are capable of infecting animals and humans. H5NX is considered, “highly pathogenic” and can lead to neurological problems while H7N9 has caused severe illness in humans in the past.4

The experimental GoF research will use chickens, quails, geese and duck to predict the virus evolution in natural hosts and study their “potential to jump into mammalian hosts”.5 6

Answers Demanded from U.S. Secretary of Agriculture

U.S. Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa has demanded answers from U.S. Secretary Agriculture Tom Vilsack about the tax payer funded research. She asked whether this research was considered GoF research, what part of the research was being conducted in China and what, if any, safeguards were put in place. The goal of GoF research is to increase the transmissibility or virulence of a pathogen for the purpose of trying to understand the likelihood of it causing a pandemic.7 8

Sen. Ernst said:

The health and safety of Americans are too important to just wing it, and Biden’s USDA should have had more apprehension before sending any taxpayer dollars to collaborate with the CCP on risky avian flu research. They should know by now to suspect ‘fowl’ play when it comes to researchers who have ties to the dangerous Wuhan Lab, and simply switching from bats to birds causes concern that they are creating more pathogens of pandemic potential… We cannot allow what happened in Wuhan to happen again.9

The discovery of this risky research comes on the heels of former U.S. intelligence officials, the FBI, the U.S. Department of Energy and scientists agreeing that the COVID pandemic likely began when the SARS-CoV-2 virus escaped from the WIV while engaging in GoF research which, according to Rutgers University molecular biologist, Richard Ebright, PhD, violated federal policies on GoF research and enhanced potential pandemic pathogen research.

U.S. Government May be Giving Tens of Millions for Viral Research Overseas

Sen. Ernst and Representative Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin allege that the U.S. government is providing tens of millions of dollars for viral research abroad including $11 million in grants to EcoHealth Alliance (the U.S. group connected to the coronavirus research at the WIV) for research including, but not limited to, “viral spillover from wildlife in the Philippines”, “viral spillover bio surveillance in India” and “high-risk” pathogens in Liberia.10

USDA spokesperson Allan Rodriguez denied the allegations saying:

USDA’s funding is only being committed to the specific components carried out by our own team located in Athens, Georgia, and is not [in] any way contributing to research taking place in the U.K. or China.11

U.S. is 18 Months Away from Controversial Bird Flu Vaccine for Birds

Bird flu cases have been on the rise in the U.S. In the last two years, the virus has been detected in flocks in 47 states and caused more than 81 million birds to be culled.12 In June 2023, the USDA announced it would spend $502 million to prepare for potential future outbreaks in response to the worst ever bird flu outbreak. In the year and a half prior, 58.7 million chicken, turkeys and other birds across 47 states died from the bird flu, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).13

The USDA, in response to the increase in bird flu cases among the avian population, is talking about poultry vaccinations with international trading partners. The World Organization for Animal Health recommends using bird flu vaccinations as preventive measure against a potential pandemic.14

In fact, the USDA recently announced that it is about 18 months away from identifying an animal vaccine for the current strain of bird flu and are working on a process to distribute it.15

Secretary Vilsack announced:

We are probably 18 months or so away from being able to identify a vaccine that would be effective for this particular (avian flu) that we’re dealing with now.16

Vaccinating the avian population is controversial. According to Rodrigo Gallardo, PhD, DVM, professor in poultry medicine and avian virology specialist at the University of California Davis, eradication (putting down the entire flock when only case of bird flu is detected) is preferred over vaccination as vaccinating flocks creates a number of complications. Vaccinated birds could shed the virus to unprotected birds, although they may not appear sick and, therefore, may not be isolated from unprotected birds. Also, testing may not be able to differentiate between antibodies from infection and antibodies from the vaccine and evidence has shown that birds in countries that vaccinate have developed a more endemic strain that does not ever get totally eliminated.17

Yuko Sato, DVM, associate professor at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University warned:

The vaccine is not a silver bullet. This is not going to prevent infection of the birds, so in order to have an exit strategy as the country, you would have to make sure that if you vaccinate, if you still have positive birds, you have to be able to make sure that you could stamp out the virus. Otherwise, we’ll never be looking at eradicating the virus from the United States.18

The U.S. does not currently accept chickens from countries that vaccinate for bird flu. The National Chicken Council is against the vaccination of chickens for bird flu because the vaccine can mask the presence of the infection. They are concerned that should U.S. chickens be vaccinated, the U.S. broiler industry, which is the second largest exporter of chickens in the world, would lose out in the very valuable export world valued at more than $5 billion annually.19

Clinical Trial of mRNA Bird Flu Vaccines for Humans Also Underway

With much of the poultry community against vaccinating birds, the focus may turn to human vaccinations for the bird flu. The CDC have been conducting clinical trials of experimental mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) bird flu vaccines  for humans. One study, which showed  mRNA vaccines are immunogenic in mice and ferrets and prevent morbidity and mortality in ferrets for a strain of bird flu, was funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the Penn Institute for Infectious and Zoonotic Diseases.20

The study on experimental mRNA bird flu vaccine for humans stated:

Our laboratory and others previously demonstrated that mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccines encoding influenza virus HA induce potent immune responses in mice, rabbits, and ferrets, and clinical trials confirm their safety and immunogenicity in humans.21

Art Recognizing Lyme Disease

https://www.lymedisease.org/emily-bromberg-art/

Her art reflects long-term struggle with unrecognized Lyme disease

By Dorothy Kupcha Leland
2/23/24

Emily Bromberg is a painter and ceramic artist based in Seattle, Washington. She’s struggled with unexplained chronic pain for much of her life. Things dramatically intensified in 2021, however, forcing her to stop working.

It took two more years of visiting about a dozen doctors before she was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease and began treatment.

She has recently completed a body of work called “For your Convenience.” It is an art installation that combines paintings and ceramic vases in a reflection on her long-term struggle with misdiagnosed and untreated tick-borne infection and mold illness.

Creating visual representations of her heart, lungs, and gut covered in ticks, infectious bacteria, intracellular parasites, and mold, is a cathartic process through which she hopes to make visible what is often an invisible illness.  (See link for article)

NYC ticks found to carry 5 different infections

People often associate ticks with being in rural or suburban areas. But the infection-carrying arachnids can be found in densely populated cities as well.

In a study recently published in the Journal of Medical Entomology, researchers collected 2500 ticks from parks in four New York City boroughs—Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and Brooklyn.

When they tested the ticks, they found pathogens for five human diseases:

  • Lyme disease
  • ehrlichiosis
  • babesiosis
  • anaplasmosis
  • Rocky Mountain spotted fever

Self-Amplifying mRNA COVID Shot Gets Green Light in Japan

https://lionessofjudah.substack.com/p/get-ready-for-more-shedding-self

A NEW self-amplifying mRNA (sa-mRNA) COVID shot received the green light from Japan’s Ministry of Health.

This frightening new technology is an addition to the already unstable modified mRNA jab, but replicates to create more copies of the modified mRNA over longer periods of time, creating higher levels of spike protein.

We have witnessed the avalanche of horrific adverse reactions to the COVID jab, and it stands to reason that we could see a significant increase in devastating reactions with the introduction of sa-mRNA.

Although manufacturers of the sa-mRNA have yet to seek approval in the U.S., they have filed for European regulatory approval. It is only a matter of time before the U.S. becomes the next target.
