In an excellent new investigative piece for UnHerd, Lee Fang and Jack Poulson expose the behind-the-scenes machinations of Covid vaccine maker Moderna to shape and censor the public debate around the jabs. Here’s an excerpt.
Behind the scenes, the marketing arm of the company has been working with former law enforcement officials and public health officials to monitor and influence vaccine policy. Key to this is a drug industry-funded NGO called Public Good Projects. According to documents we have seen, PGP works closely with social media platforms, government agencies and news websites to confront the “root cause of vaccine hesitancy” by rapidly identifying and “shutting down misinformation”. A network of 45,000 healthcare professionals are given talking points “and advice on how to respond when vaccine misinformation goes mainstream”, according to an email from Moderna.
Moderna’s disinformation arm is perpetuating the public discourse wars that have been raging since early in the pandemic, aimed at shutting down anything that might undermine Covid-19-related policies, including lockdowns and efforts to encourage mass vaccinations. These documents provide a new window into the process that has roiled speech debates over the last three years.
With PGP, Moderna is monitoring a huge range of mainstream outlets, as well as unconventional ones, such as the Steam online gaming community and Medium. Meanwhile, Moderna also retains Talkwalker which uses its ‘Blue Silk’ artificial intelligence to monitor vaccine-related conversations across 150 million websites in nearly 200 countries. Discussions around “competitor” issues, including discussions of Pfizer are flagged as well as vaccine hesitancy.
Their monitoring team includes Moderna’s global intelligence division, which is run by Nikki Rutman, who spent nearly 20 years as an analyst with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Rutman was working from the FBI’s Boston office during the COVID-19 effort known as ‘Operation Warp Speed’, which involved the FBI conducting weekly cybersecurity meetings with the Boston headquartered Moderna. She is among many former law enforcement agents now with the vaccine maker. The involvement of former law enforcement reflects a wider trend in the misinformation-space, as the Department of Homeland Security and FBI have increasingly leaned on social media platforms to shape content decisions as a national security issue.
The reports issued by the department, which are circulated around staff, include colour-coded warnings about the severity of various anti-vaccine narratives. The high and medium alerts include explanations of the news source and why it matters, followed by a listing of “low-risk narratives we are monitoring” that “don’t currently warrant any action”. If and when a response is needed, “our team will notify the appropriate stakeholders with recommendations”.
According to one report we have seen, Musk is deemed to be “high risk”. Specifically, a Musk video that ridiculed media and government officials who claimed the COVID-19 vaccine was “100% effective” against the virus. The report did not identify any false statements, but warned that his video highlighted the fact that “deception by health authorities and health care providers during the pandemic” would “lay the groundwork to sow distrust in credible sources on vaccine safety and effectiveness”.
Another high profile critic of Big Pharma featured in a Moderna report is Russell Brand. In September, he was flagged because some on social media suspect that he has been targeted for his “anti-vaccine beliefs”.
The report featured a video of Brand decrying pharmaceutical profits and making the claim that Moderna and Pfizer made “$1,000 of profit every second” from the pandemic. The claim is bundled into a “high-risk” alert that warns Brand’s views are “circulated in anti-vaccine spaces where he is viewed as a truth-teller and threat to authority”. Moderna further notes that Brand received support from “high-profile” figures such as Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson.
None of the reports that we have seen makes any attempt to dispute the claims made. Rather the claims are automatically deemed “misinformation” if they encourage vaccine hesitancy.
Definitely worth reading in full.

Yes, murderna is soooooo worried about “misinformation” leading to “vaccine hesitancy” that they have to spy on and manipulate public discourse.
Heaven forbid they should actually make their “vaccine” a little less toxic (and, a novel idea I know, actually effective). Yes, people are swayed by comments of Elon Musk, nothing at all to do with top athletes carking it left right and centre in the last 2 years, frequently in front of a large audience while engaged in their sport. Nothing to do with people dropping to the floor before they’ve even left the stab location. Nothing to do with the multitudes of people who have experienced harm either themselves or harm/death in someone close to them. Nothing to do with the well-documented myocarditis, now publicly aknowledged to be caused by this wonderful product.
When big harma actually starts fixing their product rather than the share price I’ll contemplate listening to them and their shills (I expect this to be on the first day of never).
What is being done with all of this drip feeding of information relating to certain aspects of the action of these companies & toxicity of these products is to distract from a fundamental debate about transfection & just how dangerous it is to health to transfect a product into a healthy human.
Transfection is used in biological research & always causes irreversible damage to cells, as it is designed to do so that the function of those cells can be researched before the animal is killed & the tissue further analysed.
Transfection occurs just once in research. These covid injections ie transfections have been done repeatedly for which there is no prior research as to the safety of this. Yet knowing that one instance of transfection causes irreparable damage to human cells, it was already known that multiple transfections would be dangerous & injurious to human health.
Transfection is the injecting of a substance intramuscularly & is what we have been trained to believe is immunisation & good for us.
By ignoring this fundamental information & diverting us into arguments about safety & efficacy of a product, arguing for better clinical trials etc we are distracted away from that basic fact that transfection in healthy humans is just dumb. Credit to JJ Couey for his information on how transfection is used in animal biological research.
The evil controlling cabal do not want us to understand that ‘vaccination’ has never been a good idea.
Exactly – this is unnecessary, the medicines are unnecessary.
Another conspiracy theory that turns out to be a conspiracy after all.
Yep for conspiracy theory read spoiler alert.
Key point: Moderna thinks it can do this and is spending big bucks to make it happen. Buying 45,000 people’s opinions won’t come cheap. Who else has an agenda they want to promote and big bucks to do it with?
If you’ve got time to read a list, it could be a long one! No shortage of industrialists and entrepreneurs all over the world. Depends a bit how far back in time one wants to look.
I wonder how much it cost them to get the claims brought against Russell Brand
It was said that the Sunday Times and the tv (Channel 4?) had journalists working on the RB story for FOUR years – that is a lot of salary to pay.
Also have you noticed that Moderna is rather under the radar with Pfizer usually getting more of the negative press re: side effects? One seems to be able to hide behind the other?
Finally I think we all need to start dismissing their products as UNNECESSARY….(in addition to all the other known or ignored effects of injecting dodgy substances into gullible people).
Hello all you Murderna spies
I suppose DS will be a top location for the peepers as they are bound to learn something from us.
It’s possibly time to put inverted commas around the word “vaccine” or the word (sic). We don’t after all accept that these are “vaccines”. They are mRNA gene therapies that have no place in preventing respiratory disease, as far as any genuine medical scientist can tell.
I have always used inverted commas when referring to the
poisons“vaccines.”Moderna are clear – this was “gene therapy”
Experimental as well…
Either that, or the use of the term “so-called vaccine”, on the grounds that the definition of the term “vaccine” has changed over time, without explaining it to the general public. In particular, labelling something as a “vaccine” probably makes it easier to get through the protocol for developing a new drug, and for the reason noted in the common mind, it’s easier to market. Less cash out, more in, as it were.
bigpharma have been aces at closing any debate about all their products for decades – especially vaccines, so it’s no surprise at their expertise.
It would be eye opening to see how much they have spent on lobbying, influencing governments/the MSM.etc.
The mantra has always been the same :-
Unblind trials asap.
Fiddle the figures/employ expensive lawyers, accountants, statisticians etc.
A blanket refusal to have any sort of data showing the health of the totally unjabbed v. the jabbed, said refusals being justified on the basis that were they to do so this would increase vaccine hesitancy and also just provide ammunition for lawyers.
Conduct trials of new products against a pacebo (with the placebo often being against just the older drug/vax(Turtles All the Way Down.)
The tragedy is that, for the moment at least, the sheep swallow it.
However, more and more are seeing the light – thanks to the likes of Bridgen, Yeadon, Russell, Carlson etc.
Their stock prices are tumbling, long may that continue.
The only good from Clown World is that more and more are questioning eveen conventional jabs.
Also…Can we trust that the placebo is pure?
I hope rhey are monitoring this site because I have a message for Moderna.
Here it is:
https://off-guardian.org/2023/11/19/the-great-reset-biopolitics-for-stakeholder-capitalism-book-launch/
This is a blurb from Off-G. Simon Elmer is holding a book launch in London.
“Simon will be holding a launch of his new book, The Great Reset: Biopolitics for Stakeholder Capitalism, on Saturday 2 December, from 7-9pm upstairs at the Star & Garter, 62 Poland Street, Soho, London W1F 7NX. Copies will be available in paperback (£20) and hardback (£30) on the evening. Entry is free and everyone is welcome.”
I hope the venue is resistant to the intimidation tactics, of the state useful idiots!

This is worth a look if only for the picture of Chuckles on his Jimmy Saville throne.
When the evidence of harm finally gets through courts in any one country, all the participants in this will be liable, joint and several, for billions of pound / dollare / Euro of costs. I wonder if their products liability and PI insurers know yet.
Well natural immunity is the way to go. Who would have thought it:-
https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/catching-a-cold-might-prevent-a-severe-case-of-covid-19-post-5522547?utm_source=uk_healthnoe&src_src=uk_healthnoe&utm_campaign=uk_health-2023-11-20&src_cmp=uk_health-2023-11-20&utm_medium=email&est=S0HVxtlYZu2RbIuLF0Yw5k0hvvTVERSzt2HOBStr4kAGo2%2BeugXEJ2MuGQ69NS0t
I suspect that natural immunity will no longer be available for the fully injected and more than likely a bad cold could have serious outcomes.
There is a long, horrifying, account of (US) government cover ups of vaccine harms from the 50’s on. Look for the AMidwesternDoctor substack, The Forgotten Side Of Medicine. https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/why-does-the-government-cover-up?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=748806&post_id=138865623&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=16e1tz&utm_medium=email

Major report in Government spying on UK citizens. Heard on UK column but as it’s a Guardian article, I suspect most on here missed it.
‘Shocking’ scale of UK government’s secret files on critics revealed“Fifteen government departments have been monitoring the social media activity of potential critics and compiling “secret files” in order to block them from speaking at public events, the Observer can reveal.
Under the guidelines issued in each department, including the departments of health, culture, media and sport, and environment, food and rural affairs, officials are advised to check experts’ Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn accounts. They are also told to conduct Google searches on those individuals, using specific terms such as “criticism of government or prime minister”.
The guidelines are designed to prevent anyone who has criticised the government in the previous three to five years from speaking at government-organised conferences and other events.
In September, the Observer revealed how three early-childhood education experts discovered that the Department for Education tried to cancel invitations for them to speak at government-funded events because they were judged to have been critical of government policy. Many more education experts and school staff have since uncovered files of their critical social media posts held by the department.
However, it has now become clear that the practice is widespread across government and is probably targeting large numbers of individuals. The scale of the monitoring was uncovered by human rights experts at law firm Leigh Day and shared with the Observer.”

Of course it’s not shocking to most here but the DS should have been all over this.
