Karl – you may also want to read ‘The Real Anthony Fauci’ by Robert Kennedy Jr. There is a good section where the Lancet is discussed and what took place following on op-ed written. Also, an Indiana life insurance CEO says deaths are up 40% among people ages 18-64 and some life insurance companies are are contacting clients and telling them that if they have taken the vaccines, that they will no longer be covered. There is something wrong with this. Also, why before the vaccines were out, would anyone forbid doctors from doing what they were sworn to do and save lives by allowing them to try repurposed tried and true medicines? What did they have to lose? Instead, we watched as people simply died. There was no reason for this. The government, and their mouthpieces in the mainstream media, have promoted a nonstop campaign of fear for almost 2 years now. Turn off your television and radios. Do your own research and question everything. Knowledge begins with asking questions. With each new variant they will try and frighten us, despite the fact that never in the history of virology has a virus ever mutated to become more deadly. Selective pressures always favour a more contagious, but less deadly mutation. The new “scariant” is Omicron. They don’t tell you that they skipped Mu and Xi in the Greek alphabet. Why? Because Mu or Xi just don’t sound scary. When you hear some brain dead parrot repeat the talking point “trust the science,” politely ask them to provide a definition of science. They never can because they don’t know. What they are really saying, but are too stupid to realize, is that they are saying “trust authority and don’t ask questions.” This, is the antithesis of science.

Jane, I live far away from “the madding crowd” at the bottom of the world and my story is almost the same only I got out one year earlier. Your reasons are exactly similar, I have no desire to participate in any part of the current ‘bubbles’, they are just false, congratulations.

mRNA-based vaccines represent a unique case that is considered one of the most advanced and promising achievements in the field of pharmaceutical biotechnology and biopharmaceutical formulations. More than three decades of research effort on developing gene therapy solutions for many diseases could not convey many healthcare policymakers, pharmaceutical companies, funding agencies, medicine agencies, and drug administrations to adopt gene therapy avenues as highly potential approaches to transfer the therapeutic strategies into a new era. However, these mRNA vaccines, which have been developed and approved within a few months, signify a breakthrough in the field of gene therapy, which has battled to achieve ordinary acknowledgement due to a large number of sceptical and conservative scientists and other claimed safety and translational concerns. Although these two vaccines are not the first approved drugs utilising genetic materials as active ingredients, they are believed to be a milestone in modern medical history that may forever change pharmaceutical approaches.
