South Carolina Senate Hearing

Dr. Phillip Buckhaults

A very sobering and honest delivery on the state of the dsDNA contamination in the mRNA vaccines was delivered to the South Carolina Senate this week. Video link here.

It is important for readers to see where various divergent voices agree.

1)The DNA is there. 200 billions pieces per dose. Some vials are over the limit. Some are under.

2)The legacy regulations for residual DNA in vaccines is not appropriate for transfections. These legacy regulations were counting on a 10 minute half life of injected naked DNA and those half lives are out the window with LNPs.

The twitter response to this has been congratulatory but mixed. The graciousness (Hanlons razor) that Dr. Buckhaults is granting this error is hitting a nerve for some but I think its the right approach as speculating on unmeasurable intentions in other peoples minds, decays the publics trust in evaluating things that we can in fact measure. The DNA contamination is hard science. Intensions are all speculative without written proof.

While we all have different opinions on the risks these vaccines present, these differences are often on the more speculative aspect of the data and we should avoid tribalism over such differences. This is how science used to be. You don’t become mortal enemies with people that see the data differently. Instead you share more data and try to learn the other perspective.

I have been nervous about using these vaccines on our elderly family as the trial excluded these cohorts and quickly prioritized that very cohort once approved. It is true. The risk of COViD is LOG scales higher for this same age bracket making such a decision quite nuanced and based on the individual nature of each patients comorbidities and conditions. Imagine that.. Personalized medicine was so 2000.

Steve Kirsch

has recently presented an analysis of CDCs data entailing the nursing home morbidity before and after the vaccines. Steve and I have differed on topics in the past but this hasn’t thwarted an open and honest dialog.

Norman Fenton

recently weighed in on Steve’s nursing home survey suggesting its worth the read. While you wont see data like this reflected in the large studies peppering high impact journals, we must remain aware of the pharmaceutical influence of the current peer review system.

Denis Rancourt

and I differ in our trust in DNA sequencing technology. He doesn’t trust it but I use it everyday. I prefer measurement devices that provide 6 log error probabilities of each measurement. Very few tools in the biological sciences are this mathematical and quantitative. Very few tools in the life sciences have been run more throughout the world than DNA sequencing. It is by far the most decentralized and reproducible tool we have today. This disagreement doesn’t prevent me from learning from Denis and his most recent paper on vaccine performance in the southern hemisphere is chilling. It should be reviewed by folks on both sides of the debate.

Myself, Steve, Denis and Norman have all been labeled Anti-vaxxers by the narrative police, but people who stand without this label are taking this dsDNA contamination very seriously.

If you don’t know who Wafik is, his Google Scholar page is a good place to start. When the Director of the Cancer Center at Brown University takes note, the FDA should listen.

One of the more sobering perspectives on covid public health policy is also taking note. Jay has been the voice of reason on lockdown policies and their economic and health impact. He has championed ‘focused protection’ with vaccination being one of the many tools in that tool chest. He is by no means an Anti-vaxxer but an open mind.

So for those upset with the sausage of science, I encourage you to learn about the persuasion techniques being used against the public, known as cognitive infiltration.

Mike Benz goes over the ‘science’ of Nudge units. You are far more likely to persuade someone of new data with increments than sledge hammers. This has been successfully used against the public with the infamous ‘15 days to flatten the curve’ and just about every other covid policy from booster conveyor belts to vaccine efficacy waterfalls.

It might be time to return serve it.

The most important topic covered in the South Carolina Senate Hearing touched on Permission. We have a very centralized regulatory system that would never grant permission for this science to be done. Permissionless scientists had to put their careers on the line.

This is a frightening reveal. Billions of shots into this and Ooops. How did no one so much as look? This is a 3 hour test for under $100 and $100B worth of these liability free vaccines have been marshaled into pregnant women and childrens arms under mandates.

This left the Senators uncomfortable in the centralization they have become dependent on with the FDA. It is an attack surface on democracy and a reminder of the importance of more decentralized state based regulation. This is harder to regulatory capture, offers more experiments like Florida, South Dakota and Texas, and is more customized to individual needs of different geographic climates. Why should Alaska and Florida mimic the same respiratory virus guidelines when the virus is never held to such conformity or even share the same seasons in those jurisdictions?

Many people attribute this permissionless attitude to be anarchistic and chaotic but as Erik so eloquently describes in this video, the current centralized system we have is chaos incarnate by design precisely because it hubristically demands permission it can’t possibly calculate.
