This is an informative paper, written in such a way that it’s accessible to all, demonstrating the different mechanisms of toxicity of the mRNA jabs. The author finds that all future mRNA injections are expected to be no safer based on the current evidence of the Covid ones.
”Why does it matter which of pathogenetic mechanisms is predominant? There are plans to convert existing vaccines, including childhood vaccines, to mRNA technology. If direct toxicity of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein were mainly responsible for the adverse events caused by the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, then future mRNA vaccines might be more benign, as long as the antigenic proteins which they encode are less toxic than the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.
On the other hand, every mRNA vaccine will induce an immune response in the same manner as the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Therefore, if that immune response were mainly responsible for toxicity, then we must expect similarly catastrophic outcomes with all future mRNA vaccines. The arguments presented in this study indicate that this is the most likely case.”

Mogs…I have to express my admiration for your persistence in posting Covid and ‘vaxxine-related content. I have to admit that I’ve become so inured to the whole debate that I rarely pay it any attention. For me, it is over, and maybe that is a wrong decision to make but I feel that your posts are very important in continuing to try and make sense of the narrative and thereby see the bigger game at play. Anyway, just to say ‘thank you!’ Ave atque vale!
Thanks Aethelred. Well I feel exactly the same regarding all things restriction-related. I believe we can totally cease analysis and put these lockdown/mask studies/articles to bed because they’re not going to come back, although I know you’ve got your crappy NHS to contend with but just the fact that there’s inconsistencies across different Trusts is proof that they aren’t adhering to any kind of evidence. It’d be laughable if it weren’t so damaging to people using the services who all, I’m sure, expect to enter an establishment and have their human rights and bodily integrity respected not abused.
The jabs are a different kettle of fish though as this is a matter which is not just ongoing but is only going to increase. With mRNA factories being built in many countries and more toxic jabs due to enter the market then I think this is something which concerns everybody, even if you don’t have skin in the game with kids/grandkids, who might be getting their childhood vaccines converted to the mRNA platform in future. Big pharma will be expecting significant returns on their investments, after all. It’s the start of a whole new industry, essentially, with the Covid clot shots merely being the prototype. Therefore I shall continue to keep my eyes peeled and ears to the ground and share whatever bits and bobs come my way that I feel may interest people on here. Same goes for the whole WHO Treaty thing, of course, because that sure is a major concern.
Interesting angle, article and author.
And a new ‘conspiracy theory’ I wasn’t aware of yet: the faked atomic bombs on H&N.
I had no idea about this alleged fake bombs. Where’d you hear that?
Further to that atrocious Spiked article I shared yesterday, nice to see Prof Fenton calling out the author/website, and the replies are very heartening too.

I get a feeling that the blatant censorship and propaganda currently in play will be part of their undoing. Removing an interview from YT, from a prominent and respected content provider (2 mill+ subscribers!) and then attacking Andrew Bridgen and calling him anti-vax is simply not going to wash with most people. The trouble is that name calling is all they have and that is a toothless defence. They can go on and on bleating about ‘safe and effective’ but anyone with a working noodle can work it out that it’s not, that there are questions that need to be asked. The narrative continues to fall apart on all fronts and people are rising up everywhere. Maybe not in the way we imagined but in small groups and large ones tackling the injustices being perpetrated against them. It feels like this can only grow and grow. If they want to stop us, they’re going to have to go full tyrant. Let’s see how that works out for them!
Excellent Mogs.
The twitter comments are decidedly a good read.
After Brendan O’Neill’s onslaught a couple of years ago against Care Home Workers I am delighted to see the pounding that Spiked is receiving via Twitter.
Hopefully this will be Spiked’s ‘go woke, go broke’ moment.
Ta ra chaps.
Another big brother Gem from over here in Ireland!!

Can’t see past the paywall, Dings, but is this about land use or what? Whatever it is, I just hope that Irish farmers do a ‘Dutch’. There’s nothing like a bunch of bullsh*t deposited on parliament’s doorstep to tell them where they can take their surveillance technology.
Thanks for the added info. Initial thoughts….what a massive bunch of effin’ dangly things ending in ‘ocks! Farming used to just be farming and that is what it should remain as. The more these piddlin’ bureaucrats get involved, the more complicated they make it. No wonder the numbers of those leaving farming and farmer suicides are high. I live on an organic farm so I see at first hand the stresses of just doing the job regardless of all the paperwork and bureaucracy that a farmer has to do nowadays. No wonder they contract the ‘big work’ to mechanised contractors who have no sensitivity towards the land and its creatures.
Horrendous.
Interesting article and angle by Frijters&co and certainly true for academia, though the real area of generalists and true insight and advance there was the one of Goethe, Newton&co.
The bigger problem to me though is that we now have the wrong kind of generalists in charge in the interwoven areas of media and politics: know-it-alls who really know nothing, often have poor (and then mostly legal) or even no (German Greens) education, skills and real private sector careers.
As a German climate sceptic recently stated when he wondered why those people so often fall for mathematical and physical impossibilities and their related hoaxes, frauds and utopias (whether C02 or Ferguson): they ‘lack order in their head’.

“£40 million for cycling charity behind low-traffic zones”
Interesting. I note that the AA’s online route planner now gives cycle routes as a first option. I recently checked a route into a local city and was initially thrown by their suggested option which was….. a cycle route on various twisting country roads with more hills and lots of junctions (thus far more fuel use) than the more efficient A road which was less than 3 miles longer. Go figure.
