How Spike Protein Causes Syncytia/Blood Clotting & Membranous Nephrophathy. “Vaxxed” Make up Majority of COVID Deaths

Popular Rationalism cross-posted a post from Courageous Discourse™ with Dr. Peter McCullough & John Leake

It absolutely makes sense that the spike protein would cause the fibrous clots in both veins and arteries. There are a host of ACE2-expressing cells free-floating in our blood; endothelial cells slough off, for example, and some immune cells express ACE2.If O is a cell
and = is a spike protein
O=O would be a syncytium.A chain of syncytia
O=O=O=O=O
Since the spike protein causes syncytia (cells stuck together) that chains of cells could form, with fibrinogen activation, around which RBC would get caught. This would be a slow process, could happen anywhere in the body.
The reports of from Germany from pathologists studying cadavers point to these types of clots. Dr. Peter McCullough and John Leake have an article on the science of pathologic syncytia that I am cross-posting.

Pathological Syncytia Formation with mRNA Vaccines

Unintended Consequences Potentially Explain Vaccine Failure from the Outset

By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

One of the curious findings from the original randomized trials of mRNA vaccines was an explosive rate of early infection after the first injection as compared with placebo. In a recent paper from Sfera et al, the description of pathological syncytia or fusion between immune cells is described: “The LNP technology, to put it simply, mimics viral envelopes with externalized phosphatidylserine (ePS), a universal “eat me” signal, that directs immune cells to engulf the particle.  (See this link for article)

An unfortunate example of this is the recent death of a baby who died of blood clots after the hospital gave him a blood transfusion using “vaccinated” blood against the parents’ wishes.  The hospital managed to “lose” the specially donated unvaccinated blood by a family friend.

On my last flight I was searching for a seat and a kind woman who appeared to recognize me, smiled at an open seat next to her. I sat down and learned she is married to a prominent government official with whom she was traveling. As we talked she told me her story of taking one of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and then developing membranous nephropathy.

This is a disorder caused by auto-antibodies directed against the phospholipase A2 receptor on podocytes, which are critical cells in the kidney’s filtration apparatus. Membranous nephropathy like so many side effects is due to the Spike protein and can occur with SARS-CoV-2 infection and with vaccination.

Ma and coworkers recently described five cases with the infection and 37 more after COVID-19 vaccination—all with the genetic vaccines except for one with a killed virus vaccine.  (See link for article and research study)

Important excerpt:

The woman developed significant edema and renal failure requiring escalating treatment including rituximab. More than a year later, she is not out of the woods and may face the need for dialysis in the future. She told me her doctor was honest with her and agreed her condition was caused by the vaccine.

Unfortunately for these patients, prognosis remains uncertain, but will continue to be downplayed and denied by corrupt public health ‘authorities,’ and therefore mainstream medicine and media who continue to claim COVID ‘vaccines’ are “safe and effective,” despite being neither.

They don’t:

CDC Data: Vaccinated Now Make Up Majority of COVID-19 Deaths

DAN SKORBACH

Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that people who are vaccinated and boosted are now more likely to die from COVID-19 than the unvaccinated.

One year ago, about a third of vaccinated people were dying from COVID. But at the beginning of 2022, that number rose to 42 percent. By summer, it went over 60 percent for the adult population.  (See link for article and video)

But, the band plays on…..

Dr. Gatti is Back: New Paper Shows Metals and Parasites in Plasma From a Treated Lyme/MSIDS Patient & That DFPP With Chelating Agents Might Detox These Microparticles

https://popularrationalism.substack.com/p/pollutants-in-human-plasma-found

Pollutants in Human Plasma Found via Double-Filtration Plasmapheresis Plasma Exchange

Studies in toxicology usually study urine, feces, and other secretions and measure indirectly. Dr. Gatti, whose lab was raided for reporting detection of nanoparticles in vaccines, has a new study.
James Lyons-Weiler

Does everyone remember Drs. Gatti and Montanari?  We flew them in from Italy in 2017 to the IPAK Vaccine Safety Conference in Pittsburgh, PA? Probably not.

To help you remember:  https://www.ageofautism.com/2018/02/the-european-medicines-agency-attacked-gatti-and-montanari-last-year-in-british-medical-journal.html

and

Earlier this year, Dr. Gatti let me know they are back up and running.

The new study is of pollutants and toxins found in the extract of eluate from double-filtration plasmapheresis plasma exchange.

The new study, by Dr. Gatti and Dr. Felix Scholkmann, is entitled:

Particles in the Eluate from Double Filtration Plasmapheresis—A Case Study Using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (FE-SEM/EDX)

By using plasmapheresis, they found

“aflatoxin B1, chromium, lead, cadmium, arsenic, lindane, cobalt, polycyclic-aromatic-hydrocarbons, disulfoton and aluminium (listed in descending concentration).”

The aluminum was found in various forms and types, bound with and free from silicon.

They also found unknown thread-like objects.

Makes me wonder if we should all detox this way once a year?

Dr. Gatti, congratulations on your new study and on surviving the attack on your lab by Italian authorities.

It should be possible to estimate the blood and body levels of compounds to which we are exposed, say, before and after vaccination.

**Comment**

Plasmapheresis or plasma exchange, around since the 50’s, has been used to treat autoimmune conditions, blood disorders, viral infections, chronic inflammation, pulmonary fibrosis, MS, Graves’ disease, Myasthenia gravis, transverse myelitis, HIV-related neuropathy, cancer, and even Lyme/MSIDS. Plasma is extracted from your blood, treated, and then put back into the body.

The limitation of this study is it was on a singular patient who had been treated for the following chronic infections: 

  • Borrelia afzelii
  • Borrelia burgdorferi (CH)
  • Borrelia burgdorferi (USA)
  • Borrelia garinii
  • Chlamydia pneumoniae
  • Babesia divergens
  • Bartonella henselae
  • Rickettsia Helvetica
  • Rickettsia conorii
  • Rickettsia helvetica

The thread-like object in Figure 4d, however, has a similar morphology and size as a thread-like parasitic nematode (roundworm) of the superfamiliy Filarioridea. Ticks can be also infected with these filarial nematodes [59,60].

Excerpt:

The pollution of nano- and microparticles is an emerging health concern [32,61] and novel ways of quantifying the individual exposure as well as methods to remove these particles from the body are of imminent interest for preventing and treating human diseases. DFPP, possibly in combination with the application of chelating agents, might be a powerful way to remove these nano- and microparticles from the body. The analysis of the eluate with FE-SEM/EDX seems be a useful approach to proof this possibility.
In summary, our analysis of the eluate obtained from a DFPP application revealed particles and objects in the nm and µm range of different shape and chemical composition. Our study is the first to date to investigate the composition of an eluate obtained by DFPP with FE-SEM/EDX.
IMO, while plasmapheresis might certainly help Lyme/MSIDS, the organism(s) often don’t remain in the blood for long but migrate to immunopriviledged sites like the brain, synovial fluid, spine, and organs.  This is the problem with all treatments, and testing which rely on delivery via blood, and perfectly illustrates why the current CDC monotherapy is an absolute joke.  Further, it doesn’t take into account the relapsing nature of these pathogens which change forms in the body.  Savvy treatment purposely cycles antimicrobials which helps address these complex issues, which mainstream medicine/research is completely oblivious about.
This clearly illustrates why we should not give another dime to corrupt public health/research because insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results.

Infected During Basic Training, Vet Urges “Real” Funding for Lyme Disease

Infected during basic training, vet urges “real” funding for Lyme disease

Paul Owen gave the following public comments to the federal Tick-Borne Disease Working Group on November 21, 2022.

Thank you for having me today and thank you for hearing my story. I am a father, husband, friend, voter in Ohio, software executive, former NCAA sprinter turned ultra-marathon runner and a US Army Veteran.

I am now also, not by choice, but by circumstance, a Lyme warrior and advocate for the Lyme and tick-borne illness community.

My own Lyme journey, unbeknownst to me, started in 1989, during Army Basic Combat Training at Ft Dix, New Jersey. I was bitten by three ticks. In my subsequent 7 years of service, tick bites were a common occurrence, including at Ft Leonard Wood, Missouri.

As a young soldier, I thought nothing of the small pests and was not trained to treat them as a threat. This just was not the priority or the science of the day. I never got sick from the bites. I never saw an unusual rash. I drove on like every other soldier. In short, those bites were non-eventful.

It was not until after a shoulder surgery in 2015 that the effects of the tick bites became clear. On a Saturday morning, I ran and won a 5k. On Monday morning, I could not walk up my own stairs. There were the literally hundreds of tests. From spinal taps, to sleep tests, to blood tests, to liver tests, brain scans, endoscopy, you name it. The results were always ‘normal’ and conducted by either general practitioners or by specialist referral.

Seven-year headache

Over the next 7+ years, symptoms have only worsened, to include extreme headache for the entire time (yes, that is a 7+ year headache), tremors, extreme fatigue, memory loss, getting ‘lost’ on routine errands like picking up the kids from school, almost weekly localized seizures, loss of hearing and extreme, prolonged and consistent pain in joints and connective tissues. All of which are common in Lyme and other tick-borne disease patients. In short, these diseases torture everyday people for months, years and decades.

Also, over that period of time, I have tried every bespoke treatment from each of these specialists. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket for treatments, co-pays on doctors and tests.

The costs of this epidemic on families, the economy and military readiness are incalculable. Tick-borne diseases affect millions in the United States (and around the world). Over 400,000 are added to that list every year.This is exacerbated by the denial of insurance or even the existence of the problem. This not only causes great financial hardship for American families, but also a drain on the economy In addition, military personnel are some of the more vulnerable to tick-borne disease by the nature of their environments.

What needs to be done

First, we need to mandate the recognition of and clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease. The testing is widely known not to be accurate. These symptoms are real and in no other environment would we say that the symptoms do not justify the diagnosis. Failure to come up with a test does not justify the denial of a diagnosis or treatment. It’s nonsensical.

Second, insurance needs to be mandated to cover the costs of this disease like any other. That will have the effect of driving costs down, expanding the research and improving the overall health and well being of both civilian and military populations.

Lastly, we need REAL funding to create reliable testing and treatments. I’m not talking about millions, or tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. This is an epidemic as serious as COVID, breast cancer, and AIDS–and should be funded as such with billions in research on testing and cures.

Finally, I want to thank the working group for your tireless efforts to champion this cause and to inform Congress on solutions and prioritizing this epidemic. Thank you for your time.

**Comment**

Similarly to the beliefs of this patient, the answer does not lie in giving more funding to agencies that have done nothing but further the misery of Lyme/MSIDS patients for over 40 years.

And, contrary to this excellent, “must see” video, the answer also does not lie in “medical consensus,” as this information was published nearly 4 years ago with ZERO change in this highly sought after “consensus.”  The pervasive propaganda about Lyme/MSIDS is so complete that about the only hope for truth is that the deniers contract it, so they personally fully grasp the deception; however, even that doesn’t assure understanding as thousands are coming down with COVID, experiencing adverse reactions, and even dying after getting the COVID gene therapy injections and people are still rolling up their sleeves for more!  The disconnect is surreal, but there you have it:

A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

Genes As Biomarkers for Chronic Lyme?

https://www.lymedisease.org/35-genes-biomarkers-lyme/

Could these 35 genes be used as biomarkers for chronic Lyme?

Nov. 15, 2022

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York have identified 35 genes that are particularly highly expressed in people with long-term Lyme disease.

These genes could potentially be used as biomarkers to diagnose patients with the condition, which is otherwise difficult to diagnose and treat.

The findings, published November 15 in the journal Cell Reports Medicine, may also lead to new therapeutic targets.

The study is the first to use transcriptomics as a blood test to measure RNA levels in patients with long-term Lyme disease.

Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness that is not well understood. Approximately 30,000 diagnosed cases are reported to the CDC each year, but the estimated real number is closer to 476,000 cases, carrying an annual healthcare cost of about $1 billion in the United States. While most patients are diagnosed and treated with antibiotics at the earliest stages of Lyme disease, about 20 percent of the patients develop long-term complications, which could include arthritis, neurologic symptoms, and/or heart problems.

“We wanted to understand whether there is a specific immune response that can be detected in the blood of patients with long-term Lyme disease to develop better diagnostics for this debilitating disease. There still remains a critical unmet need, as this disease so often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed,” said Avi Ma’ayan, PhD, Professor, Pharmacological Sciences, and Director of the Mount Sinai Center for Bioinformatics at Icahn Mount Sinai, and senior author of the paper. “Not enough is understood about the molecular mechanisms of long-term Lyme disease.”

As part of the study, RNA sequencing was conducted using blood samples from 152 patients with symptoms of post-treatment Lyme disease to measure their immune response.

Differences in gene expression

Combined with RNA sequencing data from 72 patients with acute Lyme disease and 44 uninfected controls, the investigators observed differences in gene expression. They found that most of the post-treatment Lyme disease patients had a distinctive inflammatory signature compared with the acute Lyme disease group.

In addition, by analyzing the differentially expressed genes in this study along with genes that are differentially expressed due to other infections from other published studies, the researchers identified a subset of genes that were highly expressed, which have not been previously established for this Lyme-associated inflammatory response.

Using a type of artificial intelligence called machine learning, the researchers further reduced the group of genes to establish an mRNA biomarker set capable of distinguishing healthy patients from those with acute or post-treatment Lyme disease. A gene panel that measures the expression of the genes the investigators identified could be developed as a diagnostic to test for Lyme.

A new diagnostic for Lyme?

“We should not underestimate the value of using omics technologies, including transcriptomics, to measure RNA levels to detect the presence of many complex diseases, like Lyme disease. A diagnostic for Lyme disease may not be a panacea but could represent meaningful progress toward a more reliable diagnosis and, as a result, potentially better management of this disease,” said Dr. Ma’ayan.

Next, the investigators plan to repeat the study using data from single-cell transcriptomics and whole blood, apply the machine learning approach to other complex diseases that are difficult to diagnose, and develop the diagnostic gene panel and test it on samples from patients.

The paper is titled “Gene set predictor for post-treatment Lyme Disease.” Additional co-authors are Daniel J.B. Clarke, MS (Icahn Mount Sinai, New York), and Alison W. Rebman, MPH, Jinshui Fan, MD, PhD, Mark J. Soloski, PhD, and John N. Aucott, MD, all from Johns Hopkins University of Medicine in Baltimore.

The project was partially supported by funds from the Cohen Lyme & Tickborne Disease Initiative and the National Institutes of Health.

UK Data: 1 in 482 Died Within the Month From COVID Shot & Why Do “Vaccines” Consistently Fail to Prevent Disease Transmission?

https://expose-news.com/2022/12/10/gov-releases-shocking-figures-on-covid-vaccine-deaths/

Government publishes shocking figures on COVID Vaccine Deaths: 1 in 73 died by May 2022, 1 in 246 died within 60 days, & 1 in 482 died within a month

BY THE EXPOSÉ ON 

The UK Government has published official figures on deaths following Covid-19 vaccination and they reveal that 1 in every 482 Covid-19 vaccinated people in England sadly died within one month of Covid-19 vaccination, 1 in every 246 Covid-19 vaccinated people in England sadly died within 60 days of Covid-19 vaccination, and 1 in every 73 Covid-19 vaccinated people were dead by May 2022.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is the UK’s largest independent producer of official statistics and the recognised national statistical institute of the UK, and on the 6th July, they published a dataset containing a whole host of horrifying data on deaths by vaccination status in England between 1st Jan 2021 and 31st May 2022.  (See link for article, tables, and graphs)

If you read the following substack article, you will understand more about vaccines than most doctors do.  According to vaccinologist, Dr. Bridle, doctors get about 15 minutes of information in med school about vaccines which gives them enough information to read and understand the package inserts.

Why Do Vaccines Consistently Fail to Prevent Disease Transmission?

A Midwestern Doctor

Many of you have been treated in horrific ways by your friends and family throughout the pandemic for refusing to adopt the nonsensical or dangerous pandemic management strategies that were force-fed to us by the media.

A key point I have tried to lay out here was that these strategies were known to be nonsensical from the start (they were designed to create compliance not to prevent deaths) and many approaches that would have been highly effective to save lives or prevent the economic devastation of COVID-19 were deliberately not implemented.

Note: Many broad claims are made here. Throughout this article, sources are provided for articles that provide the evidence to substantiate these claims.

Important excerpts:

For example, from the start, it was apparent that the vaccines would be ineffective in preventing COVID-19 (there was a lot of ignored evidence suggesting this was the case) and it was suspected the vaccines would cause the virus to rapidly mutate into variants the vaccines did not cover, thereby destroying what little efficacy the vaccines did have. Before we go further, I would like to request that you review this remarkable two-minute video, especially in light of the fact it was made over a year ago.

To overcome the widespread public resistance against these highly controversial vaccines, a variety of approaches that have previously been utilized to promote many other vaccines were implemented. One of the most critical ploys was to claim the vaccines reduced disease transmission and created herd immunity, thereby making your choice not to vaccinate both selfish and immoral since not vaccinating allegedly put the most vulnerable members of society at risk of dying. As I showed in the previous article, vaccine manufacturers, healthcare authorities, and the media all continually asserted this lie, yet are now attempting to gaslight us by claiming they were transparent from the start about their vaccines not preventing transmission….

I attempted to provide the clearest evidence I had to suggest our elected officials (and media agencies) were either lying or criminally negligent in stating the vaccines preventing transmission. Specifically, I quoted an October 2020 article that was written in a premier medical journal (and hence every public health official should have been familiar with):

Yet the current phase III trials are not actually set up to prove either (table 1). None of the trials currently under way are designed to detect a reduction in any serious outcome such as hospital admissions, use of intensive care, or deaths. Nor are the vaccines being studied to determine whether they can interrupt transmission of the virus.

Vinu then provided the best evidence I have seen showing our officials were intentionally lying to us. In May 2021 Fauci claimed vaccinated people become ‘dead ends’ for the coronavirus, while simultaneously publishing a prestigious May 2021 journal article stating the exact opposite (I largely agreed with this article). Given that this article demonstrates Fauci and his close confidants were completely aware of the science of vaccine prevention of transmission, it must be concluded that Fauci deliberately lied to the American people.

The article takes a deep dive into natural immunity and points out the following important points:

Infections often do not progress to the point they can overcome the mucosal IgA immunity, and thus never enter the bloodstream, while at the same time, immunity developing within the bloodstream does not trigger the development of mucosal IgA immunity. This is extremely important because most vaccinations are injected directly into the bloodstream and thus cannot trigger the production of the antibodies that normally allow us to resist becoming infected. 

A recent paper explains in much more detail why the COVID-19 vaccines fail to produce mucosal immunity. Unfortunately, although this issue was recognized in immunology at least 30 years ago, most of the vaccines on the market are injected directly into the body and do not produce mucosal immunity. At this point, I believe our steadfast adherence to injectable vaccinations is a product of both our societal faith in the entire ritual of vaccination (which does not occur following non-injectable vaccinations) and the additional difficulties that arise from vaccinations administered in other manners (e.g. a nasal spray).

The article then points out that because COVID spends a significant amount of time in the nose, sinuses, and throat before gradually traveling down the respiratory tract, entering the lungs and then finally the blood stream, it is possible to treat it in the very early stages by rinsing out the nose, throat, and sinuses while also utilizing a disinfecting agent to neutralize the virus.  (The doctor uses a mixture of concentrated xylitol crystals and diluted food grade hydrogen peroxide).  Clinical trials have looked at this and the only completed study the author knows of concerns nasal iodine rinses over the course of a day decreased COVID-19’s viral load within the sinuses.

The author then explains that the only ways to avoid evolutionary pressure that creates mutant strains are:

  1. Utilize a vaccine that does not place selective pressure on the organism in question.
  2. Utilize a live attenuated vaccine.  The problem with this is the vaccine is still infectious and can shed to others.  Outbreaks can be traced to these vaccines.

A reader and physician who worked in the NIH was assigned to study negative vaccine efficacy from 2009-2011 and followed a cohort of vaccinated children and pregnant months over 3 flu seasons. She discovered a clear trend of negative vaccine efficacy. When she submitted her analysis however, she was removed from the NIH and blacklisted from future employment.

The author also states that if the issue of ineffective and unsafe “vaccines” had been addressed earlier, the injustice of “vaccine” mandates could not have been foisted upon the population.  A previous article delineated the systemic corruption in the CDC which has allowed them to regularly push through dangerous vaccines.

A highly recommended read, the author does a serious chronology of the various vaccines, demonstrating that what has been “unexpectedly discovered” with COVID has been known about for decades but covered up and denied by corrupt public health which doesn’t care a jot about health and continues to claim whatever it wants without any external accountability.
