  • Are mRNA Vaccines Gene Therapy?

    It is biologically impossible for an mRNA vaccine to affect your cell DNA in any way. Think about it—it if could, then all of your cellular mRNA from normal genes being expressed, and the mRNA you eat, breath get from other vaccines, wounds, etc. could do the same. But it does not.

  • New Data On COVID Vaccine Deaths

    Two years ago, a Kaiser Family Foundation poll showed that 34% of Americans believe that the COVID vaccines have caused thousands of sudden deaths. As a result, some health departments have been forbidden from promoting the shots or have had to even ban them.

  • COVID: Don’t Touch My Junk

    Well, we now know that the organs of the male reproductive system, including the prostate, testicles, and penis actually can be infected by the COVID virus an, thus, have their functions compromised. This can result in erectile dysfunction, decreased testosterone, and reduced sperm levels in 60-75% of infected patients…

  • COVID On The Heart

    Other studies showed that people who are vaccinated are roughly 40 to 60 percent less likely to have a heart attack or stroke following a COVID infection than those who are unvaccinated.

  • Vaccines: When the Experts Lie But Claim They Are Right

    Therefore, the goal of COVID vaccines is to prevent severe disease—to keep people out of the hospital, out of the intensive care unit, and out of the morgue. The Qatar study showed that the booster does exactly that. Protective efficacy against severe disease was about 75 percent.

  • BioX Wins The Nobel!

    The breathtaking speed with which a new biology discovered the SARS-CoV-2 virus then developed a safe and effective vaccine against it ushered in a new post-molecular biology world I dubbed ‘BioX’.

  • Is Intentional COVID Vax Disinformation Criminal?

    The Kaiser Family Foundation found that between June 2021 and March 2022, 234,000 deaths could have been prevented with COVID vaccinations. Vaccine disinformation that convinces people to avoid being immunized against the virus that causes COVID, undoubtedly caused many of these deaths.

  • Take Your Vaccine Skepticism To A Cemetery

    They say you won’t find an atheist in a foxhole. Well, perhaps you shouldn’t find a vaccine skeptic in a cemetery.

  • Unvaccinated People Are 11 Times More Likely To Die Of COVID-19

    People who were not fully vaccinated this spring and summer were ~10 times more likely to be hospitalized, and 11 times more likely to die of COVID-19, than those who were fully vaccinated…

  • The Differences Between The Moderna And Pfizer mRNA Vaccines

    So, the Pfizer and Moderna technologies are very similar. But they are not identical. At first blush, the differences appear subtle, but we are learning that they seem to manifest themselves in different, not-so-subtle biological ways. Let’s take a look at the how the vaccines differ.
