Two of the slides used by German chemistry professors Gerald Dyker and Jörg Matysik in their now famous interview on the variable toxicity of different batches of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine have been seen around the world: (1) the graph from the Danish study, showing enormous differences in toxicity between ‘blue’, ‘green’ and ‘yellow’ batches; and (2) their own table displaying an almost solid column of ‘neins’, indicating that the responsible regulator, Germany’s Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI), did not subject the apparently harmless ‘yellow’ batches to quality control testing.
It was the latter discovery – and not the hotly debated Danish study per se – that led Prof. Dyker to conclude that the yellow batches might be “something like placebos”, after all. But the third slide from the interview also deserves to be better known, since it refocuses attention on a crucial aspect of this story which has been almost completely obscured amidst the sound and fury of the attempted ‘debunkings’ of the placebo hypothesis: namely, the relationship between the regulator, the Paul Ehrlich Institute, and the manufacturer, Germany’s BioNTech.
To state the obvious – and this is really all that Prof. Dyker was doing in his supposedly controversial remarks in the interview – the observation that the regulator did not test precisely the apparently harmless batches suggests impropriety, as if it knew in advance that the batches were innocuous and hence did not need quality control. It suggests that the PEI colluded with the manufacturer to place an adulterated product – perhaps indeed, in this case, a pseudo-product – on the market.
It needs to be stressed that the manufacturer here is precisely the German firm BioNTech. BioNTech, not its more well-known American partner Pfizer, is legally the manufacturer of the so-called Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Pfizer is a contractor which undertakes (some) manufacturing activities on BioNTech’s behalf. This is invariably indicated on the very label of the vaccine. (See below, for instance, and for more examples and a discussion here.)
It is important to note that in the EU, BioNTech also directly contributes to the supply chain by manufacturing the active drug substance, i.e., the mRNA, in its own facilities.
Furthermore, BioNTech, not Pfizer, is the marketing authorisation holder for the vaccine in the EU, like in most other markets. Hence, it is the German firm BioNTech which was responsible for providing batch samples to the German regulator, the Paul Ehrlich Institute, as Dyker and Matysik’s interview likewise makes clear.
Let’s have a look now at the professors’ third slide below. It should be recalled that Dyker and Matysik are part of a group of five German-speaking scientists who have been raising questions about the quality and safety of the BioNTech vaccine with both the manufacturer and the PEI.
The slide consists simply of a tweet dated June 6th. The author of the tweet is none other than German Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach. The picture shows Lauterbach at the Paul Ehrlich Institute with PEI president Klaus Cichutek and some lab workers. Lauterbach is the man in the middle of the photo and Cichutek is to the right.
The text reads as follows:
Today, I visited the Paul Ehrlich Institute. Prof. Klaus Cichutek and I are in the room in which the efficacy of the BioNTech vaccine is tested. Without the PEI, vaccines would have been authorised much later. Nonetheless, there was no compromising on safety. Thank you PEI!
In the interview, Prof. Dyker expresses his and his colleagues’ puzzlement about Lauterbach’s assertion that the efficacy of the BioNTech vaccine is tested at the PEI: “We have never heard of there being any kind of rapid test of the efficacy of vaccines,” he says. “Normally, that is tested in a clinical trial, after all.”
But, more to the immediate point, he also notes that the poster on the wall behind Lauterbach and Cichutek in the photo is titled ‘Batch Release of COVID-19 Vaccines: A Success Story’ – as if approving the batches for release were the PEI’s purpose and goal. Given the extraordinarily high level of adverse events associated with the blue batches in the Danish study, all of which were approved for release by the Paul Ehrlich Institute, the description of their release as a “success story” is questionable, to say the least.
Moreover, Lauterbach’s comment that, “Without the PEI, vaccines would have been authorised much later” casts the PEI in the role of enabler rather than regulator – even if he hastens to add that “nonetheless, there was no compromising on safety”.
Lauterbach is right. Without the PEI, the authorisation of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine would indeed have taken a longer time. But in fact we know that there was compromising on safety, not only because of the horrendous safety data associated with the blue batches of the vaccine – which, perhaps not coincidentally, appear to have been the earliest batches released in the EU – but also because the shortcuts taken by BioNTech with the PEI’s blessing are a matter of public record.
Thus, in a highly unusual arrangement, the PEI allowed BioNTech to initiate clinical (i.e., human) testing of COVID-19 vaccine candidates before a preclinical toxicology study on animals had even been completed, based merely on “interim results”. The details of this arrangement are documented in my article here. As likewise discussed in that article, other categories of more systematic preclinical testing, so-called safety pharmacological studies, were simply skipped altogether.
It should be noted that BioNTech and the PEI took these decisions without the involvement of Pfizer, the American company having only joined BioNTech’s vaccine project for the clinical phase of the authorisation process.
Given the tremendous economic significance of BioNTech’s success for the German economy, one can wonder in general about the wisdom of having the German regulator serve as the regulator responsible for releasing batches to all EU member states. The potential conflict of interest is obvious. BioNTech’s mercurial rise was, for instance, the very motor of Germany’s return to growth in 2021 (as touched upon here), to say nothing of the roughly 30% of its profits that the company pays in corporate tax.
But such doubts are even more justified when we consider that the PEI has a longstanding relationship with BioNTech founders Ugur Sahin and Özlem Türeci, which, far from being arms-length, has in fact been intimate and collaborative. This is openly acknowledged in The Vaccine, the auto-hagiographical account of the development of the BioNTech vaccine which Sahin and Türeci coauthored along with journalist Joe Miller.
Thus, on page 45 of The Vaccine, we discover that PEI staff
even co-authored scientific papers with mRNA pioneers, including Ugur and Özlem. The couple attended ‘research retreats’ organised by the regulator – essentially workshops during which the frontiers of medical research were discussed in detail. The innovators and the regulators learned about novel technologies, such as mRNA, together.
But it is not only that PEI staff have coauthored papers with Sahin and Türeci. As can be seen below, PEI President Cichutek has himself coauthored a 2015 paper – interestingly enough, on the development of a coronavirus vaccine! – with none other than BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin.
In addition to being President of the PEI, Cichutek, as can be seen here, is also “Product Development Coordinator” at the publicly-funded German Centre for Infection Research (DZIF).
The external partners of the DZIF include none other than BioNTech. The DZIF website notes that:
In collaboration with BioNTech and the biopharmaceutical research institute Translational Oncology at the University of Mainz (TRON), the DZIF is researching RNA-based vaccines for selected virus families with potential human pathogens, and subsequently bringing them into preclinical and early clinical development.
TRON, like BioNTech, was co-founded by Ugur Sahin and Özlem Türeci.
Of course, the PEI could always clear up any suspicions hanging over it due to the missing quality control of the apparently innocuous yellow batches of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Perhaps there is, after all, an innocent explanation.
But in the Dyker and Matysik interview, Prof. Matysik notes that the last communication that the professors received from the PEI was an official notification that they would not be receiving any further responses to their questions.

Speaking of suspicions hanging over something, Rand Paul has referred the butt-weasel Fauci to the highly corrupt DOJ ( so we know nothing will come of this already ) due to more evidence of the little sh*t lying under oath;
”Senator Rand Paul told Breitbart News Daily that he has criminally referred Fauci to the Department of Justice for prosecution.
This should not come as a surprise. In December, Senator Paul told Jesse Watters on FOX News that Republicans had caught Fauci in several lies and “he won’t get away.”
Rand Paul and Fauci got into a tense exchange over Fauci’s involvement in funding the Wuhan lab’s gain-of-function research that likely led to Covid-19 in September 2022.
Fauci AGAIN denied he funded gain-of-function research during the hearing.
Rand Paul also warned Fauci that lying to Congress is a crime.
“Dr. Fauci, as you are aware it is a crime to lie to Congress, Section 1001 of the US Criminal Code. Critics say a felony and a five-year penalty for lying to Congress,” Rand Paul said in 2021.
Rand Paul told Breitbart News Daily there is further evidence Fauci lied to Congress about gain-of-function in light of a newly-surfaced 2020 email summarizing Fauci’s phone call.
“This is when they’re just beginning to look into the pandemic. And in that email, he basically says, ‘Yes, we’re suspicious that this could be a manipulated virus because it came from a lab in Wuhan, where they do gain of function research,’ and he describes the research,” Paul said.”

The following day Rand Paul’s office is on fire. Well this has all the hallmarks of ‘Coincidence’ I think;
”A fire tore through the Bowling Green, Kentucky, office of Republican US Sen. Rand Paul Friday, with a cause for the blaze not yet determined.
The fire at the Senator’s downtown office building which also houses a law firm, started sometime around 2 a.m. Friday morning and led to massive structural damage including a roof collapse.
Some on social media questioned whether the cause of the fire could be politically motivated, considering it comes on the heels of his recent referral of former NIAID director Anthony Fauci to the DOJ for prosecution.”

Rand Paul is a bloody superstar
As long as he doesn’t end up with a similar fate to Kary Mullis, although Rand Paul is way too high profile I think for him to suddenly be ‘offed’, but Fauci is simultaneously evil and untouchable, so I wouldn’t put anything past him. I reckon that fire was a warning.
Indeed, though as well as high profile I think he’s politically very savvy and will be under no illusions
Therefore the thing that puzzles me, given who he is and who he’s dealing with, why didn’t he have security cameras outside the premises? Well I didn’t see mention of any in the article anyway, but surely the whole building should have had cameras covering the entire exterior? That’s just my Captain Obvious contribution to the whole mystery anyway…hopefully ”all will be revealed”, though that’s probably being a bit too optimistic. I only like mysteries when I get to know the outcome, otherwise they just rankle.
What, I think, is needed is a ‘do unto others before they do unto you’ attitude. Put the fear of God into them.
And on the topic of heroes, what an excellent reflection of public opinion this is. Very heartening to read;
”NEW — While the DNC Was Doing Their Best to Smear & Discredit RFK Jr in Yesterday’s Congressional Testimony, a Record $5 MILLION in Donations Poured in.
“American Values 2024 raised over $16,250,000 since it was founded in late 2022. The key point is that $5,000,000 of that came in DURING Robert F Kennedy Jr’s congressional testimony yesterday.”

A lot of bad stuff coming out of the US but also a lot of good stuff
Conspiracy theories coming true is now deemed to be ‘dangerous’… Being caught out in their own lies is the danger more like!

Safety concerns?
Well, all the evidence points to the “vaccines” being not only unsafe but the work of Satan.

Yeah I saw that too. Good on ’em, I say. Though I really don’t know why the whole concept of ‘beauty pageants’ can’t be scrapped altogether. As far as I’m concerned they went out at the same time as Bernard Manning’s jokes! But while we’re on the topic of being off-topic ( I’m guessing Hardliner must have a better social life than me ), this clip of a guy doing comedy but actually making a serious and relevant observation just speaks volumes about the corruption of Big Pharma imo. He is funny though;

I liked Bernard Manning
Well I knew there was good reason for me not wasting time watching any Andrew Tate videos…Yep, he’s got ”Role Model” written all over him <max sarc!>
”The first time I heard the controversial social media personality Andrew Tate speak on women, Western society, and masculinity, I immediately thought that he was a radical Islamic extremist. A defector from the Taliban, perhaps? Over the next few months I would hear Tate make outlandish remarks such as, “Women should shut the f**k up, have kids, sit at home, be quiet and make coffee.” And more: speaking of women in general, Tate said, “If I have a degree of responsibility over her, then I must have a degree of authority… You can’t be responsible for a dog if it doesn’t obey you.”
So, when we learned on July 18, 2023, that Tate, who last year converted to Islam, was hoping for, and celebrating the fact of the imminent Islamization of Britain, I cannot say that I was surprised.
In response to the news of a Muslim billionaire winning the right to turn the Trocadero, one of London’s most famous landmarks, into a mosque, Tate (Quran in hand in the photo above) expressed his delight. Here is what he had to say on Twitter:
”This building is literally dead centre in the middle of London’s historic centre. Amazing news. The only alternative to Islam for the brits are pride flags as they no longer have any innate culture or patriotisim [sic]. Allah is the best of planners and I look forward to seeing The Islamic republic of Great Britistan in her final form. Alhamdulillah Britain will be fully Islamic soon.”
