    Deliberate destruction of biosamples

    With Professor of Medicine, Dr. Wendy Hoy and the aborted QoVax study. Uploaded 28-06-25 If we shed some light on events, perhaps a way forward might be devised. The Intent of this program was to study the effects and benefits of Covid Vaccines, through a prospective study over several years of a representative sample of adults in Queenland, which has one fifth of the Australia’s population and an area seven times that of the UK. Several of the major research and health care institutions in QLD were collaborators in the study. The Estimated cost over several years was to be Aus $20 million. It was a show-cased as a “real time study” with few to compare internationally. Participants gave detailed informed consent. Their vaccine status and Covid histories were recorded at baseline and ongoing (15% were unvaccinated at enrolment): and biosamples were gathered at baseline and ongoing. Biosamples included DNA, with the intern of evaluating potential genomic associations of susceptibility to Covid, as well as to reactions to and efficacy of the vaccines. In parallel, all hospital admissions, outcomes, deaths and costs, were to be followed through the existing linked data system built and maintained by Queensland Health, the state’s single public health service provider. Enrolment started in late July 2021: 10,600 participants were ultimately recruited: baseline observations and biosamples were acquired. Then longitudinal surveillance and intermittent biosampling began. It was suddenly announced in mid-2023, when many participants would have been followed for less than a year, that enrolment would cease, that the surveillance data would be indefinitely quarantined and the stored biosamples would be destroyed within 12 months. This occurred without advance notice or consultation of participants or of the study team. Explanations offered to the participants for this abrupt change in plan included competing needs for funding, and the claim that most of study questions had already been answered. However, questions about vaccine safety and efficacy have only ballooned over time, making this study a uniquely valuable resource of real time information to which there is little comparable, internationally. Perhaps Queensland Health was discouraged by early signals of vaccine harm in the program. The potential influence of pharma companies which have made major commitments to funding research in Queensland has been mentioned by Rebecca Weisser in the links provided. Over the following 12 months, the study team of 27 people was disbanded. Then, in May 2025, study participants were notified that the biosamples would be destroyed within the next 2 weeks, and the study data would be quarantined indefinitely. Protests about the action have included attempts to share this story more broadly : Sen Malcolm Roberts has made a powerful video presentation and several journalists have written powerful articles They also include actions to prevent destruction of samples and data. • On June 10, a petition was presented to Queenland parliament to halt the destruction of the samples and to protest cessation of the study. The Chief Petitioner was Mr Allen Ballard, with about 6,800 signatures • Mr Julian Gillespie, acting for legal firm, PJ O’Brien, has protested, on behalf of study participants, about destruction of the biosamples, arguing that it constitutes the criminal offence of destruction of evidence and of potential evidence. Notably, Mr Gillespie has for more than 2 years, been a global leader in promoting understanding and awareness of the DNA contamination of the mRNA vaccines, and its long term persistence in recipients.

DOI 10.7759/cureus.57860 Conclusions Statistically significant increases in age-adjusted mortality rates of all cancer and some specific types of cancer, namely, ovarian cancer, leukemia, prostate, lip/oral/pharyngeal, pancreatic, and breast cancers, were observed in 2022 after two-thirds of the Japanese population had received the third or later dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine. These particularly marked increases in mortality rates of these ERα-sensitive cancers may be attributable to several mechanisms of the mRNA-LNP vaccination, rather than COVID-19 infection itself or reduced cancer care due to the lockdown. Researchers have reported that the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine may pose the risk of development and progression of cancer. Several case reports have described cancer developing or worsening after vaccination and discussed possible causal links between cancer and mRNA-LNP vaccination. Learn more about your ad choices.

This company has priority to submit an application for an expansion of ivermectin’s indications, since the original approval for the manufacture and sale of ivermectin was conferred to it. However, the company said that it had no intention of conducting clinical trials.

Scientific progress is thwarted by the ownership of data and knowledge because industry suppresses negative trial results, fails to report adverse events, and does not share raw data with the academic research community. Patients die because of the adverse impact of commercial interests on the research agenda, universities, and regulators. Hierarchical power structures, product loyalty, and public relations propaganda over scientific integrity. Universities, have adopted a neo-liberal market approach, actively seeking pharmaceutical funding on commercial terms. As a result, university departments become instruments of industry: through company control of the research agenda, and ghostwriting of medical journal articles and continuing medical education, academics become agents for the promotion of commercial products. The corporate university also compromises the concept of academic leadership. Deans, (proper academics) have in places been replaced with fundraisers and academic managers, who are forced to demonstrate their profitability or show how they can attract corporate sponsors. In medicine, those who succeed in academia are likely to be key opinion leaders (KOLs in marketing parlance), whose careers can be advanced through the opportunities provided by industry, physicians are selected based on their influence on prescribing habits of other physicians KOLs are sought out by industry for this influence and for the prestige that their university affiliation brings to the branding of the company’s products.

    Professor Hoiby, word to world leaders

    Please pass this video on, Basically, we need to change the vaccine administration guidelines to include precautionary aspiration, prior to pushing in the vaccine. This will prevent cases of inadvertent intravascular administration of vaccine. Here is some discussion to suggest inadvertent intravascular vaccine administration is a variable in the aetiology of complications after adenoviral vector vaccine administration and after mRNA vaccines. These adverse events, although rare have reduced public confidence in covid vaccination, especially amongst the young, where vaccine rates are lowest. It has long been known that intravenous injection of adenovirus leads to TTS in mice https://ashpublications.org/blood/article/109/7/2832/125650/Adenovirus-induced-thrombocytopenia-the-role-of Now, new covid vaccine specific work agrees with this previous work Thrombocytopenia and splenic platelet directed immune responses after intravenous ChAdOx1 nCov-19 administration (29th June 2021) https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.29.450356v1 The authors conclude, ‘Our work contributes to the understanding of TTS and highlights accidental intravenous injection as potential mechanism for post-vaccination TTS.’ ‘We show that intravenous but not intramuscular injection of ChAdOx1 triggers platelet-adenovirus aggregate formation and platelet activation.’ ‘Hence, safe intramuscular injection, with aspiration prior to injection, could be a potential preventive measure when administering adenovirus-based vaccines.’ Also after giving mRNA vaccines A new study finds that giving mice intravenous mRNA vaccine also causes heart inflammation in mice. Intravenous Injection of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA Vaccine Can Induce Acute Myopericarditis in Mouse Model (August 2021) https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciab707/6353927 ‘Our study indicates that IV injection of vaccines might partially contribute to this clinical phenotype, thus warranting a reconsideration of the practice of IM injection without aspiration, which carries the risk of inadvertent IV injection.’ Agreement from ‘fact check’ from Leo Nicolai, Cardiology Fellow, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich: (German Centre for Cardiovascular Research) https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/incorrect-vaccine-administration-is-a-potential-cause-of-post-vaccine-adverse-effects-but-more-research-is-still-needed-to-confirm-or-reject-this-hypothesis/?fbclid=IwAR0nBbM6v0V2WPFn4LxIdfR4FNAvIzLGKhzFPdQPG8mu_FR1InB8OzYQgMc ‘Indeed, there is peer-reviewed work showing in mice that possibly intravenous injection of mRNA vaccine leads to myocardial inflammation.’ ‘that intravenous injection of adenoviral vector based vaccine (AZ1222, ChAdOx1) leads to thrombocytopenia and platelet-directed immune responses, offering a possible explanation for vaccine-induced thrombosis/thrombocytopenia’ ‘these data might indicate a simple measure to lower the incidence of vaccine-induced side effects,’ ‘There is a lack of data on frequency and effects of IV injection in humans.’ Denmark has changed their national guidelines https://en.ssi.dk/news/epi-news/2021/no-19-21---2021 Based on a precautionary principle, we recommend aspiration before injection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7inaTiDKaU Evidence from Dr. Peter Gaillard (microparticulate pharmacologist) https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/astrazeneca-vaccine-pull-back-push-through-pieter-j-gaillard/?trk=pulse-article_more-articles_related-content-card Case study evidence Metallic taste in the mouth seconds after ‘intramuscular’ mRNA vaccine administration, (in the absence of an allergic reaction) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbjuWs99CrE Other video-based discussions 26th September 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBaIRm4610o 30th September 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgVsd6q Learn more about your ad choices.

    Florida changes vaccine advice for young men

    Florida, Guidance for mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines Uploaded 09-10-22 October 7, 2022 https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/20221007-guidance-mrna-covid19-vaccines-doc.pdf Florida continues to emphasize that health care providers review all data to evaluate risks and benefits unique to each patient when determining any health care services to provide, including the administration of COVID-19 vaccines containing Messenger RNA (mRNA) which both the Pfizer- BioNTech and the Moderna vaccines utilize. The Florida Department of Health (Department) conducted an analysis through a self-controlled case series, https://www.bmj.com/content/354/bmj.i4515 a technique originally developed to evaluate vaccine safety. This studied mortality risk following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. This analysis found there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. Individuals with preexisting cardiac conditions, such as myocarditis and pericarditis, should take particular caution when considering vaccination and discuss with their health care provider. Florida Department of Health has issued the following guidance: Based on currently available data, patients should be informed of the possible cardiac complications that can arise after receiving a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac- related death among men in this age group. The State Surgeon General now recommends against the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for males ages 18-39 years old. Males over the age of 60 had a 10% increased risk of cardiac-related death within 28 days of mRNA vaccination. Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks among any population. Floridians are encouraged to discuss all the potential benefits and risks of receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines with their health care provider. The risk associated with mRNA vaccination should be weighed against the risk associated with COVID-19 infection. The Department continues to stand by its Guidance for Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccines http://ww11.doh.state.fl.us/comm/_partners/covid19_report_archive/press-release-assets/g2-jtr_QWBT4hJpqr_20220308-1923.pdf (issued March 2022), which recommends against use in healthy children and adolescents 5 years old to 17 years old. This now includes recommendations against COVID-19 vaccination among infants and children under 5 years old, which has since been issued under Emergency Use Authorization.

(No mention of this was made in the paper) Dr Jeremy Farrar, (Wellcome) It is important that we understand how all pathogens emerge so that we can prevent future pandemics as the efforts to gather evidence continue, it is important to stay open-minded Serial passaging Would cause the virus to contain o-glycans The second notable feature of SARS-CoV-2 is a polybasic cleavage site (RRAR) at the junction of S1 and S2 Prof Ron Fouchier, Dutch virologist (from another e mail chain) It is good that this possibility was discussed in detail with a team of experts. However, further debate about such accusations would unnecessarily distract top researchers from active duties, and do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular February 8th e mail Prof Edward Holmes (one of the authors) Ever since this outbreak started there have been suggestions that the virus escaped from the Wuhan lab, if only because of the coincidence of where the outbreak occurred and the location of the lab. I do a lot of work in China and I can tell you a lot of people there believe this and believe they are being lied to Prof Kristian Andersen, February 8th (Lead author) Passage of Sars-live coronaviruses have been going on for several years and more specifically in Wuhan under BSL-2 conditions BSL-2 laboratories are used to study moderate-risk infectious agents or toxins such as salmonella. Serious diseases should be handled in BSL-3 or 4 labs. Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) Importing bat coronaviruses from areas of China which hold the closest viruses to Covid-19 Had also applied for funding to manipulate viruses by inserting a furin cleavage site (FCS) The email chain Involved Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Learn more about your ad choices.

    New Pfizer drug and ivermectin

    New Pfizer antiviral and ivermectin, a pharmacodynamic analysis Uploaded 09-11-21 New Pfizer antiviral, PF-07321332, C₂₃H₃₂F₃N₅O₄ PF-07321332 is designed to block the activity of the SARS-CoV-2-3CL protease, https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizers-novel-covid-19-oral-antiviral-treatment-candidate So, what is a protease? So what is a protease inhibitor? And, what is 3CL? Chymotrypsin-like protease (3CL main protease, or 3CL Mpro) Identification of SARS-CoV‑2 3CL Protease Inhibitors by a Quantitative High-Throughput Screening (3rd September 2020) https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsptsci.0c00108# The activity of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 viral infection was confirmed in 7 of 23 compounds Microscopic interactions between ivermectin and key human and viral proteins involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2021/cp/d1cp02967c the strength and persistency of the interaction between IVE and the binding site of 3CLpro indicate that a partial inhibition of the catalytic activity could have place as the drug interacts with the main subdomains that define the enzyme binding pocket: Identification of 3-chymotrypsin like protease (3CLPro) inhibitors as potential anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-020-01577-x as shown in Fig. 4, out of 13 OTDs only ivermectin completely blocked ( more than 80%) the 3CLpro activity at 50 µM concentration. Development, validation, and approval of COVID-19 specific drugs takes years. Therefore, the idea of drug repositioning, also known as repurposing, is an important strategy to control the sudden outbreak of life-threatening infectious agents that spread rapidly. Ilimaquinone (marine sponge metabolite) as a novel inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 key target proteins in comparison with suggested COVID-19 drugs: designing, docking and molecular dynamics simulation study https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2020/ra/d0ra06379g From the docking analysis, ivermectin showed the highest docking score with an average energy of −8.5 kcal mol−1 among all the compounds.
