What a great article exposing one of the many hypocrisies of the NIH.

Well done for taking the time and effort of writing this, Jessica too for the intro.

"This is why im on the same page with Charles Rixey, MA, MBA (c) regarding the DEFUSE proposal. You dont submit such grant applications with no preliminary data and expect it to get funded. The application require 100s of pages of work and no one wastes their time on that process unless they have nearly 90% of it already worked out and thus present a very low risk option for the NIH to parade in front of."

I never heard anyone make that point, but now you explain it, it seems obvious. Very important.

Hot stuff for those, who are interested in the corona democide business, and who have long history of sequencing and PCR research. Prerequisite to understand the important but difficult work of Kevin McKernan and other good guys in this business field, thus comming up to be a prerequisite to survive the next 6 years the agenda 2030 democidal actions against humanity. If you do not know waht geneticist can do, you might be soon killed by stupid geneticists working for even more stupid business people, and their investors.

Has anyone been cured of anything yet from all this research?

This stuff is way beyond me (non science background) , but I save / archive the articles in case I can share with others. Thanks for your work.

Genetic research is important knowledge to gather though is it the end or foundation of all health issues? Unlikely, in fact I suggest it is arguably the least important. While the soil is foundational to agriculture there is far more to growing or raising produce from a farm.

And should knowledge of the genetic aspect of existence one that should be so heavily influenced by profit and loss in a monetary system itself driven by private interest over and above public or community.

Whether known, unknown or unelected select small 'agency' groups deciding funding are public or private is immaterial to the process. In either case the decisions as to what is done and for what purpose both short term or long term, all decisions no matter how well intentioned are not in the public domain and remove people generally from agency over their own lives.

None of it is the way to have health support for people.

Why is so much time, effort & money going to utilize DNA? Couldn’t all this brain power be used to help feed the world? End wars?

Thank you Jessica.

Brilliant really.

A complicated subject explained

in a way even I can understand.

Not an easy thing to do.

Something I frequently struggle with.

It’s funny I followed illumina stock 3 years ago it fell apart mid 2021 from 517 down to where it is now 124 a share I guess it got hyped up from the news of sequencing COVID-19 virus to see where the lab leak came from but now the stock looks horrible……

Outstanding thinking. Outlines risk, the precariousness of making a living in these areas, the "horse blinders" that can, and do, result.

The market should support the risk takers (and necessarily those who fail in a particular project). That is, the market should support the essential wanderings of science and the scientific method.

It should support moral researchers, in short. Apparently that takes a lot of money. "That" being true science.

In your email, you mention the need to sequence COVID-19 vaccines for Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contamination and Simian Virus 40 (SV40), as their presence in vaccines could cause cancer. DNA fragments are found in all vaccines as vaccine production requires the use of cells, which contain DNA. DNA fragments are not limited to vaccines, and even the life-saving hormone, insulin, contains small amounts of DNA from the bacteria used to make it. While purification and quality control steps are taken during the manufacturing process to ensure the purest form of vaccine is developed, and that the vaccine works as intended and consistently, trace amounts of residual DNA still remain. However, extremely large amounts of residual DNA (on the order of millions or trillions of the amount of DNA contained in vaccines) is required before a cancer risk is observed. Furthermore, upper limits of DNA fragments are set by vaccine regulators such as the Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada during their approval of the vaccines to ensure DNA levels in the vaccine are consistently below the approved safe level. While SV40 has been known to cause certain types of cancers in rodents, it has not been proven that SV40 could cause cancer in humans. Epidemiological studies of people who received the SV40-contaminated vaccines between 1950 and 1960 have not found a higher risk of cancer in these individuals compared to individuals who did not receive SV40-contaminated vaccines.

Thank you again for sharing your concerns. I hope the information that I have provided you addresses your questions/concerns.

I sent an email to the Alberta Health Minister regarding the DNA and SV40 contamination.

This is the reply I received.

What an exhaustive complexity and in the end it works! ... huh. I am not a religious person but knowing humankind's weaknesses, better to keep out of creators playground. But no way to catch cats back to the box.
