Prior to the advent of COVID-19, BioNTech, the German developer and owner of the so-called ‘Pfizer’ vaccine, had only ever done trials for cancer therapies. This was the company’s focus, not infectious diseases. But none of those trials got very far. None of BioNTech’s experimental cancer drugs had ever made it to a large-scale phase 3 clinical trial, and one of the just three phase 2 trials registered by BioNTech prior to 2020 was “prematurely ended” for unknown reasons. All in all, BioNTech had only tested its drugs on just over 400 – for the most part, extremely-ill – cancer patients.
In light of reports of surging cancer diagnoses since the rollout of the mRNA-based Covid vaccines, I wondered in a recent article whether BioNTech’s trials faltered because its mRNA-based cancer therapies were in fact promoting cancerous growths rather than inhibiting or reversing them.
Well, now we have further support for this hypothesis.
A new preprint by Rubio-Casillas et al. in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules asks ‘N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ): Friend or foe of cancer?‘ Substituting N1-methyl-pseudouridine for naturally occurring uridine is precisely the innovation at the heart of BioNTech’s mRNA platform, which is thus, in reality, a modRNA or modified RNA platform. Katalin Karikó, who would go on to become a BioNTech Vice-President, shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine with Drew Weissman for having discovered this innovation.
N1-methyl-pseudouridine: friend or foe of cancer? The authors’ answer is clear: friend… of cancer. Thus, the abstract reads (emphasis added):
Additionally, it has been discovered that the mRNA vaccines inhibit essential immunological pathways, thus impairing early interferon signaling. … Evidence is provided that adding 100 % of N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ) to the mRNA vaccine in a melanoma model stimulated cancer growth and metastasis, while non-modified mRNA vaccines induced opposite results, thus suggesting that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines could aid cancer development.
Did BioNTech and the regulatory authority already know what Rubio-Casillas et al. found out? This is to say: did they know that the company’s mRNA platform could be oncogenic before the platform was rolled out to literally billions of people around the world as the basis of its COVID-19 vaccine?
The competent regulatory authority for two of the trials, including the one that was “prematurely ended”, was none other than the PEI: Germany’s vaccines and medicines regulator, whose cozy relationship with BioNTech I have written about here. (The competent authority for the third trial was Germany’s Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM), a sister organisation of the PEI.)

As noted in my previous article on the subject, thanks to an American FOIA request and a court order, we have a virtually complete record of the clinical trials of BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine. These are the ‘Pfizer documents’ – a misnomer, since Pfizer merely conducted the trials on the German company’s behalf – which the FDA famously wanted to keep hidden for some 75 years.
Why should we not have just as complete a documentary record of BioNTech’s earlier cancer trials? The public interest is obvious, not just for Germany but indeed for almost the entire world. Germany’s relatively young freedom of information law needs to be tested. But if BioNTech did indeed detect a signal that its cancer drugs were promoting cancer, the PEI might well want to hide the documents not just for 75 years, but forever.

The Home Secretary does not decide what the police do. That is decided by a quango called the College of Policing and a trade guild called the Association of Chief Police Officers, or names something like that. Both have been fully taken over by the wokery and Blairism of the past 25 years.
Freemasons might have something to do with senior officers. They have been established for a long time.
I reckon the coppers were better when the freemasons were in charge, at least they were patriots.
I see Enoch Burke has been arrested again in Ireland because he refuses to conform and turn his back on his principles. Much admiration for him because he’s defiant in refusing to be bullied, threatened or to bow down to the wretched gender ideology which is polluting our societies and poses a serious threat to our kids. What a hero this man is, who just happens to expose the unethical and corrupt state of the law at the same time. Ireland’s police and judiciary, much like the UK, are a total disgrace, to put it mildly;
”BREAKING: Teacher Enoch Burke arrested at Wilson’s Hospital School after refusing to endorse and affirm transgender ideology.
Judge Barry O’Donnell, who made almost €400,000 from 2016-2018 representing TUSLA as a barrister, ordered his arrest.
TUSLA is the Irish State ‘Child Protection’ agency, an organisation saturated with LGBT ideology, urging staff recently to learn about cross-dressers and drag performers, and making acceptance of LGBT and transgender ideology a condition for fostering children.
What a mockery to expect Enoch Burke, a Christian teacher, to sit before this man and expect justice.”

They would probably make it mandatory to have the jab before adoption. That is what seemed to happen to a mate who was in the adoption process. But I remember his partner was a Carer is that might have played a part. I remember him saying that he had to show that he had the jab — and me being outraged that he found entertaining more than anything.

Are there any Non, Non-crime Hate incidents we can ‘commit’?
Or is it non-crime -hate- non-crimes?
It’s getting confusing.
I can image a principled officer saying, ‘get back to me when you have an actual crime to report because we are rather busy’. and then getting the sack by the Woke paramilitary wing of the Police.
Isn’t theft under £100 now legal by default. Just give the crime number and forget about it!
I remember being astonished to read a book called “The Strange Theory of Light and Matter” by Richard Feynman. —-I discovered that light can be in two places at once.
But I never knew Police Officers had this same remarkable quality. They can be apprehending someone who just wrote a naughty sentence on social media while at the same time arresting someone for carrying a knife or for actually having just plunged a knife into someone. —-Quite remarkable. ——But actually Police Officers are not light beams at all are they? And since they cannot be in two places at once perhaps it is best to be in just the once place and forget all about the naughty sentences.
You can’t use a word like ‘hate’ in this way because it doesn’t take a genius to see that to configure this word thus is essentially an attempt to pretenend to do one thing whilst actually doing another. And there is no place for black magic in our society. Kennedy talked about the perniciousness of secrecy and cited Athens where it was a punishable crime to shy away from difficult controversies. And hatred isn’t an anti-spritual state if properly applied. Perhaps hate the sin but not the sinner is the best formulation.
