Fauci’s Replacement – Cheerleader for Gain-of-Function Research

UPDATE:

According to this, Taubenberger’s claim to fame is when he revived the Spanish flu from a body preserved in permafrost and when he spliced genes from the Spanish flu with contemporary H1N1 viruses.

He also referred to people concerned about the creation of H5N1 avian influenza virus as “the complaining crowd”.

Fauci’s Replacement at NIAID a Cheerleader for Gain-of-Function Research

Jeffrey Taubenberger, a 19-year veteran of NIAID who supports gain-of-function research and believes COVID-19 evolved naturally, is the new acting director of the agency Dr. Anthony Fauci led for 38 years.

A virologist who supports gain-of-function research and believes COVID-19 evolved naturally is the new acting director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the agency Dr. Anthony Fauci led for 38 years.

Jeffery Taubenberger, M.D., Ph.D., a 19-year veteran of NIAID and chief of the institute’s Viral Pathogenesis and Evolution Section, replaced Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, who was placed on leave last month by the Trump administration.

Citing an email from Dr. Matthew Memoli, deputy director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Science reported that Taubenberger’s first day as acting director was April 25. Taubenberger will head an institute with a $6.56 billion budget, making it the second-largest NIH branch, overseen by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Several researchers told Science that Taubenberger has a commendable track record, highlighting his work sequencing the Spanish flu virus of 1918.

Adolfo Garcia-Sastre, Ph.D., a virologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, said Taubenberger “has made many critical contributions to the field of influenza, both in pathogenesis, animal models, human data, and vaccines.”

But critics point to Taubenberger’s public support of gain-of-function research and the zoonotic theory of COVID-19’s origins, which holds that the virus crossed over naturally from animals to humans.

They also criticized his past ties to Fauci and other controversial virologists, and his prior work on COVID-19 vaccines(See link for article)

There truly is nothing new under the sun.

We already got a taste of bad replacements when Mandy Cohen replaced Rochelle Walensky as CDC director. Walensky pushed masks, criticized herd immunity, was one of the worst purveyors of misinformation, failed to report her financial conflicts of interest, and was behind officially naming and shaming the “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” based upon data the CDC manipulated.

Cohen has proven to be Walensky 2.0.  She too is a mask and ‘vaccine’ pusher with severe conflicts of interest who takes photos with buddy Bill Gates. And similar to Fauci, Cohen has performed zero actual doctoring as it pertains to patients and is simply a power-hungry bureaucrat who will aid and abet the various agencies to strip away medical freedom.  Her ‘expertise’ and ‘leadership’ derives from government scam agencies and indoctrination universities that were all instrumental in the COVID ‘plandemic’.

The band simply plays on despite rhetoric of MAHA.

Make Murder a Crime Again: Repeal the PREP Act & First Legislation Banning Medical Mandates

https://jamesroguski.substack.com/p/make-murder-a-crime-again?

MAKE MURDER A CRIME AGAIN

The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act must be REPEALED.

In short:
  • The treasonous and unconstitutional Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP Act) was put into force in 2005.
    • According to retired R&D executive Sasha Latypova: “Interestingly, a law firm that we’ve talked to before, they FOIA’d the records of oath of office for a bunch of high level officials in the in Biden administration, in the first Trump administration, and the Biden administration. So they FOIA’d like other records of their properly executed oaths of office. Most of them did not have it. Like Rochelle Walensky didn’t have it. Xavier Becerra didn’t have it. There’s a bunch of, you know, of these health and related high level officials did not have those oaths of office executed while they were doing this. And that may be because they knew that they were committing treasonous acts.”
  • It gives legal protection from lawsuit or liability for ‘covered persons’ utilizing ‘covered countermeasures,’ which are military terms.  The HHS secretary simply writes a letter and every one and everything is immune from liability.
  • It gives unlimited authority to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to decide if there’s an emergency and what countermeasures are to be used (drugs, devices, biological products (vaccines).
  • There doesn’t have to be any clinical trial, studies, or data showing these countermeasures to be ‘safe and effective.’  There doesn’t have to be any follow up or quality control.
  • The PREP Act is responsible for all the insanity we experienced with COVID.  (lockdowns, masks, remdesivir, ventilators, ‘vaccines‘, the banning and false narratives of effective, cheap drugs, biased research, science journals, and media, etc)
  • Go here to listen to Attorney Ray Flores on how it is nearly, but not totally, impossible to file a civil lawsuit seeking compensation for losses suffered due to the fact the bar has been set unreasonably high – requiring clear and convincing evidence that the defendant committed an intentional act or omission, done with knowledge of, or a reckless disregard for, the potential harm it could cause.
Go to Repealtheprepact.com to read the PREP Act for yourself and to sign the petition

telling members of Congress to repeal the PREP Act or get voted out of office in the 2026 mid-term elections.

The First Legislation in America Banning Medical Mandates

By Leslie Manookian

April 28, 2025

“What happened during COVID is exactly a perfect illustration of the harms of sacrificing some for the many,” says Leslie Manookian, founder and president of the Health Freedom Defense Fund.
She played a pivotal role in getting her state of Idaho to pass the first legislation in the United States banning most medical mandates, including vaccines and masks.
“One of my missions at Health Freedom Defense Fund, in founding this organization, was to educate the public and raise awareness about the importance of medical freedom, because I think it’s the most basic and fundamental of human rights—and then to codify that in law. And the Idaho Medical Freedom Act is the first step in that process,” says Manookian.
In this episode, we dive into the volatile process of getting this bill signed into law, and discuss why Manookian believes Americans must be protected from being forced to undergo medical interventions—even if they are potentially lifesaving.
“On the last day of the legislative session, we were able to insert … that no healthy, unvaccinated individual may be excluded from any educational entity or any business entity on the basis of a disease outbreak. So just because you’re unvaccinated, if you’re healthy, they can’t kick you out,” says Manookian. “In the last 50 to 70 years, somehow public health has started to intrude into private health, and I think that’s a mistake.”

Highlights

  • Spike protein expression was detected in 43.8% of vaccinated patients.
  • SARS-CoV-2 spike protein persists in cerebral arteries up to 17 months post-vaccination.
  • Spike protein was expressed in the intima of the cerebral arteries.
  • In situ hybridization confirmed vaccine- and virus-derived spike protein mRNA.
  • Findings highlight concerns about mRNA vaccine biodistribution and long-term safety.

Abstract

Background

The rapid deployment of mRNA vaccines for SARS-CoV-2, such as BNT162b2 (BioNTech-Pfizer) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna), provided a critical tool in combating the COVID-19 pandemic. While their short-term safety and efficacy were demonstrated in clinical trials, rare adverse events, including hemorrhagic strokes, have been reported after widespread use. However, the long-term biodistribution and effects of mRNA vaccines remain underexplored.
This study aimed to investigate the long-term presence of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in brain tissues of patients with hemorrhagic strokes, examining its potential association with mRNA vaccination.

Methods

A total of 19 cases of hemorrhagic stroke from 2023 to 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemical staining for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and nucleocapsid protein was performed on tissue samples. In situ hybridization was conducted in selected cases to confirm the origin of spike protein expression (vaccine or viral infection). Vaccination history and SARS-CoV-2 infection status were documented for all cases.

Results

Spike protein expression was detected in 43.8 % of vaccinated patients, predominantly localized to the intima of cerebral arteries, even up to 17 months post-vaccination. While no active inflammatory changes were identified, infiltration of CD4-, CD8- and CD68- positive cells was observed in the spike protein positive vessels. In situ hybridization confirmed the presence of both vaccine-derived mRNA and SARS-CoV-2 virus-derived mRNA, which encode the spike protein, in select cases. Notably, spike protein positivity was observed exclusively in female patients (P = 0.015). None of the cases showed nucleocapsid protein positivity, supporting the absence of active viral infection.

Conclusion

Although the possibility of spike protein expression due to asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection cannot be entirely excluded, this study demonstrated prolonged presence of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in the cerebral arteries following mRNA vaccination. Additionally, some inflammatory cell infiltration was observed in spike-positive vessels. These findings raise significant concerns regarding the biodistribution of lipid nanoparticle-based vaccines and their long-term safety. Global replication studies are urgently required to validate these findings and ensure comprehensive safety evaluations of mRNA vaccines.

**Comment**
While the authors insist that the clot shots provided a critical tool in combating the COVID-19 pandemic, data, a systemic review and reality show otherwise.  In fact in November 2024, a peer-reviewed study called for immediate global moratorium on these experimental gene therapy injections due to unprecedented adverse reactions including death.
They weren’t even tested for reduction in hospitalization, death, or transmission, rather they were tested for reduction in severe symptoms – which is not the proper endpoint for “vaccine” efficacy. To make matters even worse, they dropped the 50% efficacy requirement for Emergency use Authorization (EUA).  Then, they authorized boosters without consulting its vax panel.  Rubberstamping these shots is their modus operandi.

WHO: ‘Monkeypox’ Is a ‘Side Effect’ of Covid mRNA ‘Vaccines’

The World Health Organization (WHO) has admitted that so-called “monkeypox” is actually a side effect of Covid mRNA “vaccines.”

The United Nations “health” buried the admission on the WHO’s VigiAccess website.

The website contains a database that lists all known side effects of all drugs and vaccines that have been approved for public use.

Under “potential side effects” for the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, the WHO lists “monkeypox,” “smallpox,” and “cow pox” among hundreds of other disorders.

They are listed under “infections and infestations” that emerge as “side effects” of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine.  (See link for article)

______________

**Comment**

A new study of WHO data shows that ‘COVID deaths’ skyrocketed among the ‘vaccinated,’ and a study of 9 million also reveals brain damage.

Similarly to COVID, a Monkeypox outbreak followed a ‘Germ-Game’ preparation. A renowned German doctor has already spoken out to warn the public that the monkeypox “outbreak” is a hoax and the “symptoms” are actually side effects of Covid clot shots.  Another doctor states monkeypox is psychological bioterrorism being pushed by ‘evil.’

Take home: these shots are worthless and dangerous.

Effectiveness of the Influenza Vaccine During the 2024-2025 Respiratory Viral Season

Nabin K. ShresthaPatrick C. BurkeAmy S. NowackiSteven M. Gordon

ABSTRACT

Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season.

Methods Employees of Cleveland Clinic in employment in Ohio on October 1, 2024, were included. The cumulative incidence of influenza among those in the vaccinated and unvaccinated states was compared over the following 25 weeks. Protection provided by vaccination (analyzed as a time-dependent covariate) was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression.

Results Among 53402 employees, 43857 (82.1%) had received the influenza vaccine by the end of the study. Influenza occurred in 1079 (2.02%) during the study. The cumulative incidence of influenza was similar for the vaccinated and unvaccinated states early, but over the course of the study the cumulative incidence of influenza increased more rapidly among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated. In an analysis adjusted for age, sex, clinical nursing job, and employment location, the risk of influenza was significantly higher for the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated state (HR, 1.27; 95% C.I., 1.07 – 1.51; P = 0.007), yielding a calculated vaccine effectiveness of −26.9% (95% C.I., −55.0 to −6.6%).

Conclusions This study found that influenza vaccination of working-aged adults was associated with a higher risk of influenza during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season, suggesting that the vaccine has not been effective in preventing influenza this season.

Summary Among 53402 working-aged Cleveland Clinic employees, we were unable to find that the influenza vaccine has been effective in preventing infection during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season.

SUMMARY:

    1. THE FLU VACCINE INCREASES THE RISK OF CONTRACTING A NON-FLU RESPIRATORY ILLNESS BY 65%.
    2. THE FLU VACCINE DOESN’T REDUCE DEMAND ON HOSPITALS.
    3. THE FLU VACCINE DOESN’T PREVENT THE SPREAD OF THE FLU.
    4. THE FLU VACCINE FAILS TO PREVENT THE FLU ABOUT 65% OF THE TIME.
    5. REPEAT DOSES OF THE FLU VACCINE MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF FLU VACCINE FAILURE.
    6. DEATH FROM INFLUENZA IS RARE IN CHILDREN.
    7. THE FLU VACCINE DOESN’T REDUCE DEATHS FROM PNEUMONIA AND FLU.
    8. PATIENTS DON’T BENEFIT FROM THE VACCINATION OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS.
    9. FLU VACCINE MANDATES ARE NOT SCIENCE-BASED.

Excerpts:

Originally, the flu vaccine was a measure to protect the elderly, but go here for a blast from the past when four scientists researching the Flu vaccine during the 1960s found it to be ineffective and refused to give it to their own families.  The scientists state they were prevented from publishing their negative findings.

Despite this, the ineffective and dangerous vaccine has increasingly been pushed on everyone 6 months old and up, including pregnant women despite the fact the flu vaccine is linked to increased risk of miscarriage.

Now a recent Japanese study shows NO BENEFIT on hard outcomes: hospitalization and death. Another perfect example of how the massive push to vaccinate people for the flu has been a waste of time and effort.  Do not expect to read about this in the news.

Further demonstrating the diabolical history behind vaccines, the military mandated the Adenovirus vaccine for ‘cold-like symptoms’:

”…when it was shown that the vaccine contained a contaminant which caused cancer in laboratory animals, it was taken off the market, but that was 3 years after the division’s scientists have pointed out the danger…”

The Adenovirus vaccine (which contains live adenovirus Type 4 and type 7 can be shed in stool and and breast milk and infect contacts – particularly children, pregnant women, and those with immune system problems, as well as harming the unborn) is still available for United States military personnel.  It is not available to the general public.

The History of Howard Alliger – Pioneer of Chlorine Dioxide Therapies

The History Of Howard Alliger – Pioneer Of Chlorine Dioxide Therapies

In the 1970’s, Howard Alliger, a scientist, inventor, and entrepreneur recognized the therapeutic potential of chlorine dioxide to treat human skin, nasal, and oral diseases (among many other uses).

Although I am going ever deeper into the “rabbit hole” of chlorine dioxide, I again want to emphasize that I am not writing as a doctor recommending a treatment. I consider this work to be in the vein of an amateur investigative science journalist trying to compile all the evidence necessary to guide and promote the research needed to establish chlorine dioxide as a viable therapy for all. Subscribe now to not miss critical upcoming posts on this topic.

HISTORY OF THE MODERN CHLORINE DIOXIDE PIONEERS

To recap, although chlorine dioxide has been widely used since the 1940’s in multiple industries such as water purification and as a disinfectant and bleaching agent, it was not until 1985 that oral ingestion was discovered to have therapeutic properties at much lower and safely tolerated concentrations.

The 1985 water treatment incident in Nigeria was relayed to me by an anonymous translational scientist with high-level security clearances (now 85 years old), who, in that post, I identified only by his old nickname, “Colonel Mondragon (CM).”

To be fair, I would say we don’t really know when its therapeutic potential as an orally ingested therapeutic was first discovered because CM found that soon after his discovery of its efficacy against malaria in Nigeria, he learned of Mexican and Central American doctors that were using it to cure other diseases as well (but not malaria).

Soon after the Nigeria incident, CM was assigned to support the aid teams sent by Ronald Reagan to assist the Russians in their response to the Chernobyl nuclear accident. In that follow-up post, I provided granular details about that mission and how it led to CM meeting Vladimir Pasechnik, a Soviet scientist who later became an international whistleblower on the Russian Bioweapons program. It was Pasechnik who informed CM that chlorine dioxide was a “universal antidote against bioweapons.” Pasechnik also told CM that the Soviets had been studying it in the treatment of disease and that he was curing TB with it. That was in 1985. And that information has, as far as I know, been classified by the Russians to this day. Here is a timeline of the oral and topical chlorine dioxide pioneers….

Kory goes through Alliger’s contributions to the science and development of numerous therapeutic applications of CD.

Important quote:

We found that the chlorine dioxide in our products kills all bacteria, virus, spores, yeast, all microorganisms within a minute in vitro, which is hard to believe, but it does that. And we put it on a wound, it did something even more than that. It oxidized free radicals and cytokines. ~ Howard Alliger, Founder of Frontier Pharma
