While the USDA had previously given the green light for salmon to be vaccinated with the latest mRNA (modRNA) chemicals, this newest scheme is even worse in that it allows even more questionable pharmaceutical chemicals to be administered to animals that people consume as food.

“… the deadly mRNA poison vaccines weren’t enough for the Biden Harris administration,” Renz notes. “They and their big pharma partners are now licensing DNA vaccines for use in our foods.”

Renz shared screenshots from two documents showing that these DNA vaccines not only exist – and the world was not told about them until now – but are already licensed and being used in the U.S. food supply, unbeknownst to most of the country.

“Our food supply is simply NOT safe,” Renz warns.

BREAKING: The USDA is now licensing DNA vaccines in our food!@catsscareme2021 is correct they are vaccinating salmon but what you may not know is that the deadly mRNA poison vaccines weren’t enough for the Biden Harris administration. They and their big pharma partners are now… https://t.co/xF252nZPD5 pic.twitter.com/uvndKC9nBw

Beware GMO salmon

Renz’s bombshell so upset Rainmaking CEO Kim Greenhouse (@Rainmaking) that she called on X / Twitter for the USDA to be “charged with crimes, including the FDA.”

“GOD HELP US,” she added in desperation.

Another echoed the sentiment that the USDA – or at least the people running the thing – needs to be taken down as soon as possible because “this is our last chance” to save the country.

“RFK Jr. can’t come on board fast enough as Food Health Czar,” wrote another, desperate for Donald Trump to win reelection and appoint Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the lead guy for cleaning up the nation’s food supply.

The same person who celebrated RFK Jr.’s potential recalled how during a recent trip to the grocery store, she noticed what she described as “an unusually large supply of salmon on sale.”

“Typically it’s so high priced the store doesn’t stock much,” she continued. “Now I know why mass quantities are available at affordable prices.”

It is clear, wrote another, that the powers that be (TPTB) really want to lower the average lifespan to keep their human herd in check.

“It’s time to raise our own food,” wrote another about a possible solution to America’s highly polluted food supply. “Either alone or in communities.”

“I’m not eating poison or having it put in my body by a vax. I’ll raise my own thank you. Or support small organic local farms. Anything but swallow whatever the global elites want us to swallow. Don’t go along. Demand testing of our food. Raise your own. Go to small farms or on line small co-ops. Anything but taking the govt poison.”

Another agreed, noting that this is why TPTB are starting to go so aggressively against small farmers “so that we do not have a choice.”

“They are even passing laws for backyard chickens to be vaccinated,” this person added. “Some places are making it illegal to sell local products to people.”

Plasmids, which are used in the manufacturing process for vaccines, carry genetic material that can inadvertently enter the human body through vaccination. Plasmids can disrupt cellular functions or contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance. These fragments have the potential to integrate into the DNA of vaccinated individuals, potentially disrupting the function of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. One troubling aspect is the inclusion of sequences from the SV40 virus, known for its cancer-causing properties. The implications of such contamination are dire, with experts warning of the potential for permanent genetic changes in vaccine recipients.

This serious safety concern necessitates that ALL recombinant vaccines be investigated for DNA contamination. The current findings on DNA contamination across the vaccine supply are startling, and warrant an audit into the manufacturing processes of vaccines, including investigations into the role adjuvants and lipid nanoparticles play in facilitating the DNA contamination of human cells.

Australia taking DNA contamination of COVID vaccines seriously now

The Port Hedland council in Australia recently passed a motion recognizing “unacceptable levels of plasmid DNA contamination” in mRNA COVID vaccines. The motion, which also mandated the dissemination of this information to health practitioners and vaccine recipients, represents a significant shift in how vaccine safety concerns are addressed. Given Port Hedland’s economic significance in Australia, this council’s decision is likely to have far-reaching implications. For the first time, health practitioners are being formally alerted to the dangers posed by plasmid contamination — a topic that has been heavily suppressed since the #plasmidgate controversy surfaced in early 2023.

Adjuvants in Gardasil vaccine may facilitate plasmids into teenagers

Compounding the controversy is a recent exposé written by investigative journalist Maryanne Demasi. The exposé reveals similar issues with the Gardasil HPV vaccine. The report highlights the FDA’s awareness of residual plasmid DNA in Gardasil, a contamination concern that dates back to 2011. This is an issue that has been blacklisted from vaccine safety discussions in the media and between government regulators.

This DNA contamination is made more dangerous due to the use of adjuvants in vaccines. The adjuvant is added to vaccines to enhance the immune response. One of the most common adjuvants – aluminum salts – technically act as a transfection agent, allowing foreign DNA to enter the cytoplasm of human immune cells, which then circulate throughout the body. The implications of this toxic facilitation are profound; the introduction of lab-derived plasmids into the human body poses significant risks, including the potential for cancer and other genetic diseases.

Antigen levels and body weight/blood volume of vaccine recipient are important factors

COVID-19 vaccines use lipid nanoparticles which facilitate the entry of plasmid DNA into human cells. The Novavax vaccine contains a saponin adjuvant that has similar risks as the lipid nanoparticles. A Hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix-B), used in newborn babies, contains both aluminum hydroxide and polysorbate 20. These ingredients act as transfection agents, potentially facilitating plasmids into the baby and setting the stage for childhood cancer.

Moreover, a greater quantity of antigen has a greater chance of introducing plasmids into human cells. Conversely, the DNA contamination could have more pronounced effects on babies with a lower blood volume and body weight. The Engerix vaccine (injected into babies) contains 20 micrograms of antigen, whereas the Gardasil HPV vaccine (injected into teenagers) contains 270 micrograms. The dosage of the antigen is important, as well as the blood volume and weight of the person being injected.

The HPV vaccine contains 13 times more foreign proteins and DNA than the Hep B vaccines. Essentially, the HPV vaccines is equivalent to 13 injections of the Hep vaccine, in terms of antigen quantity. Still, the Hep B vaccine is given to infants, not teenagers, and therefore introduces a disproportionate level of contamination to a baby with lower blood volume and body weight. Both vaccines pose serious DNA contamination risks on two different ends of the exposure spectrum.

All vaccines utilize a risky transfection process using adjuvants

Essential to the function of a vaccine is the term “transfection.” This process allows foreign genetic material to enter human cells — a mechanism that typically doesn’t occur naturally. Human cells possess protective barriers that prevent the uptake of foreign nucleic acids. However, laboratory techniques have been developed to bypass these defenses. The main methods of transfection include:

• Mechanical Disruption: Physically puncturing the cell membrane to allow DNA entry
• Chemical Facilitation: Utilizing chemicals that mimic essential cellular components, acting like a Trojan horse to transport DNA into the cell
• Electroporation: Applying an electric field to create temporary pores in the cell membrane, though this method is less practical for widespread human use

Among these, chemical agents are the most viable for introducing nucleic acids into cells. Commonly used transfection agents include cationic particles, which are positively charged and attract the negatively charged components of cell membranes. Detergents can also disrupt membranes, enabling the entry of nucleic acids. The concern surrounding the use of lab-reagent plasmids is significant. These plasmids can contain nucleotides that may lead to severe genetic consequences, including cancer, if transferred into human cells. When a transfection agent is present, the likelihood of this transfer increases substantially.

While many are familiar with standard transfection agents like lipids (lipofectamine, lipid nanoparticles) and calcium phosphate, a broader range of substances can act as transfection agents. Here are some less commonly recognized ones:

• Polysorbate: A surfactant/emulsifier that can enhance transfection
• Metallic Cations: Elements such as aluminum, zirconium, and cerium, known for their positive charge and transfection efficiency
• Saponins: Soaps used as adjuvants in certain vaccines, promoting transfection
• Histidine: A positively charged amino acid that can aid in the transfection process

Understanding the toxicity potential of these transfection agents is crucial, especially in light of their implications for causing cancer in children, teenagers, and adults.

Confidential Pfizer documents leaked by Project Veritas show that Big Pharma had “evidence that suggests patients who received a (COVID-19) vaccine are at an increased risk of myocarditis.”

Meanwhile, heavily redacted CDC documents obtained by the Children’s Health Defense (CHD) via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request indicate that the agency provided an undercounted figure of post-COVID-19 vaccination myocarditis cases to Israel’s Ministry of Health in early 2021.

The latest revelations come as Germany, Japan and other governments are raising questions about the significant numbers of severe adverse events recorded in individuals following the administration of the vaccines.

“This study clearly shows that Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine provides almost no benefit to children and adolescents, but does increase their risk of myocarditis and pericarditis,” said Dr. Brian Hooker, CHD’s chief scientific officer. “It begs the question: Why does the CDC continue to recommend these unlicensed shots for kids? Where is the data they use to support their statement that the benefits of these vaccines outweigh the risks?”

The Pfizer vaccine provided children and teens in England with only about 14 to 15 weeks of protection against the virus, as per a preprint study of over 1.7 million children ages five to 15.

Moreover, researchers investigating the safety and effectiveness of Pfizer’s vaccine in fully vaccinated, partially vaccinated, and unvaccinated children and teens, also found cases of myocarditis and pericarditis only in vaccinated children. The study found that vaccinated children required slightly fewer emergency room visits and hospital stays, but that those outcomes were extremely rare in children and teens across all groups.

COVID-19 vaccine provides almost no benefit to children, study reveals

Public health agencies in the United Kingdom and the U.S. granted authorization to the Pfizer vaccines based on clinical trials that measured immunogenicity and efficacy against infection.

Their research confirmed that even in 2021, when the vaccine was first authorized for children and teens, that age group did not face a high risk for COVID-19-related serious outcomes, including death or the need for emergency care, hospitalization or critical care.

The researchers tested the effectiveness of the first vaccine dose versus no vaccine and of two doses versus a single dose. They matched each vaccinated child with an unvaccinated one, and participants were matched by age, sex, region, prior COVID-19 testing and childhood vaccination status.

Of the 1,262,784 children in the adolescent part of the study, vaccinated and unvaccinated, there were only 72 emergency room visits, 90 COVID-19 hospitalizations and no deaths. There were nine cases of pericarditis and three cases of myocarditis, all in the vaccinated group.

Among all of the children in the vaccinated versus unvaccinated group, there were no emergency visits, only six hospitalizations and no deaths related to COVID-19. There were three cases of pericarditis, all in vaccinated children.

The researchers concluded that in adolescents, the vaccine reduced the rate of hospitalization more than it increased the risk for myocarditis and pericarditis, but for children, the increased risk of pericarditis was higher than the reduction of risk for hospitalization.

According to TMZ:

Taylor’s husband didn’t provide a cause of death, but noted the plan is for her organs to be donated. He signed off by saying they weren’t able to financially prepare for the hardship that would come with her passing — linking to a GoFundMe for fans who are able to help.

Back in August, Taylor addressed the medical issues she had been facing — telling her followers she felt like she’s been “fighting for my life every day” … saying she was going through indescribable pain, sometimes wishing she was dead.

Deaths such as these have become more common since the rollout of the Covid-19 injections. While there is no way to know if she was “vaccinated” or if the jabs contributed to her death, it’s a question that is always worth asking. Corporate media certainly never asks.

Real data and statistics, that the CDC, WHO, FDA and the Vaccine Industrial Complex do not want anyone to see, have been published and reveal that all the major infectious disease mortality rates were greatly diminishing and on a consistent downward trend BEFORE those vaccines were invented and mass administered.

Several whistleblowers then and now have proof, but a few billion vaccine zealots still won’t be able to wrap their jabbed heads around it. This requires careful consideration and a total rethinking of everything we know about vaccine efficacy, infectious disease rates, and the entire concept of the so-called “holy grail” of medicine.

Measles, Scarlet Fever, Whooping Cough, Diphtheria, Smallpox death rates all on massive declines prior to the introduction and mass-administration of those vaccines

Take a good look at the graphs of these documented mortality rates in England and Wales from 1838 to 1978, well into the years that these ever-popular vaccinations were invented and mass administered to the populace. We see now, in plain sight, the mass illusion that was perpetrated on the public that vaccines were the saving grace for humankind, and saved billions of injected people from dying from the world’s scariest infectious diseases.

In fact, vaccines and their efficacy were so overblown, that Big Pharma and governments around the world had to make them compulsory so the majority of the populace would comply. In other words, the brainwashing propaganda and faked science wasn’t enough to convince them all.

The graphs even look similar for infectious diseases where there never was a vaccine created. That’s even more “proof in the pudding” that vaccines aren’t helping decrease mortality rates much, if any at all. It was really all about improvements in hygiene, plumbing, sanitation, use of clean water, and hospitals and doctors learning how to disinfect everything, including surgical instruments.

Every human being on earth should be questioning the contribution of vaccinations to the decline of mortality in the world. We already know that nearly all prescription medications only “manage” the symptoms of disease and disorder, rather than address the root cause and actually cure the illnesses. Plus, prescription medications create a host of side effects and adverse events that bring with them new health horrors, only to be addressed with MORE crooked medicine. It’s a vicious cycle and a cash cow for Big Pharma, just like with vaccines.

Pro-vaccine zealots love to scream “science!” when referring to why they believe so wholeheartedly in vaccination, but they should all take a look at the statistics of mortality from that science, based on infectious diseases and the relative vaccines that are supposed to prevent infection, prevent transmission, prevent death. It’s all been a huge farce.

Folks need to look at what really contributed to the decline of mortality over the past century and a half, and they will see it’s really about the rising standards of living. Vaccines may have contributed to this decline of mortality, but only in a miniscule amount compared to the propaganda and disinformation that’s been spread about them, around the globe, for decades. This now includes all the LIES about the safety and efficacy of the Covid mRNA clot shots.

Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson interview President Trump and asked him squarely about the vaccines. As an anti-vaxx reporter, she has been covering the challenges with vaccines since long before Covid-19. It was a foregone conclusion that she’d bring it up with Trump during the interview.

As X user Died Suddenly noted:

President Trump acknowledges that Republicans hate the COVID vaccine, and that he is open to admitting the shots were damaging, but is waiting for long term studies to be released in 2025.

“I think they’re doing studies on the vaccines that we’re gonna find out. And it’ll come out one way or the other. But I really had a mandate to get vaccines done. And I got ’em done very quickly in record time. The Democrats love it. You know, the Democrats love it and the Republicans don’t. It’s very interesting.”

In this stellar interview with Full Measure host Sharyl Attkisson, who bravely pointed out that not only do the shots NOT “prevent infection, illness, or transmission” but have “very potentially serious side effects,” President Trump said he thought he did a great job handling the pandemic.

“The vaccines. They love it. I have a friend of mine who said to me, ‘why don’t you talk about the vaccine, what you did with the vaxx.’ He’s a Democrat, but I’m sure he voted for me. He said, ‘what you did was the most incredible thing that any president has ever done. You’ve saved hundreds of millions of lives all over the world.’ And this was just recently very smart guy. He said, ‘I don’t understand why you don’t talk about it.’ And I don’t talk about it. But if you go to Pfizer, if you go to some of these companies, they have charts and they have all sorts of statistics. And I say, ‘why don’t you release those statistics? Let people know.’ But I don’t talk about it. I can say this, the Democrats would love to claim it. The Republicans don’t want to claim it. But it’ll be determined, I’d say over the next 12 months. I say this in terms of overall, I think I did an amazing job with Covid. I never got the credit for it. Remember that more people died under Biden-Harris than died under Trump. And they had a much easier time because when it came in here, nobody knew what it was. It came from the Wuhan labs, which I always said. But nobody really knew what it was, where it came from. Nothing. They knew nothing.”

Sharyl is an example of the few, ethical, smart, and dedicated journalists left on the national stage, who put the truth over access and fame.

Bravo on this and all your future interviews and shows!

Democrats love them. Republicans hate them. Seems like he knows his audience very well. Watch the interview at Sharyl’s site.

Dr. Sabine Hazan discovered that Covid-19 mRNA gene therapy injections kill 90% of good gut flora called bifidobacteria, catapulting most major diseases and disorders

The key component that makes up 90% of our biological seat of immunity for fighting diseases is KILLED OFF by spike proteins from mRNA jabs that travel to the gut. Anyone who got Covid vaccinated could be catapulting cancer, IBS, autism, dementia and catching Covid or the next pandemic of Bird Flu, Monkeypox, or whatever other gain-of-function lab-made virus Big Pharma releases into the wild.

Gastroenterologist Dr. Sabine Hazan tested the microbiomes of doctors who volunteered to be tested BEFORE and AFTER getting Covid vaccinated with spike protein prion creating mRNA jabs and discovered that their most important gut bacteria were wiped out within 30 days to almost non-existent. What’s worse is that bifidobacteria remained decimated for 60 days, 90 days, even up to six months.

She then tested newborn babies, whose mothers were injected before their birth with Covid jabs, and the babies had ZERO bifidobacteria (good gut flora) microbes after 90 days and they stayed at zero nine months later. Let that sink in. These newborns have next-to-zero immunity during their first year of life due to the Covid vaccine.

Dr. Hazan had applied for grants and loans to do this research, but of course, no way was Big Pharma, the FDA or the CDC going to help her do this kind of research that exposes the vaccine industry and Covid jabs for what they really are – biological weapons of mass destruction and genocide.

We’re not just talking about autism caused by Covid jabs, but cancer, dementia, neurological disorders, severe allergic reaction and heart complications

The problem is compounded for people who contracted Covid, which means the virus and the mRNA jabs both destroy vital and beneficial gut bacteria. Dr. Hazan said, “I kept collecting stool samples of patients and noticed that patients with severe covid had a certain bacteria that was missing compared to people that were highly exposed to covid, but never got covid. That bacteria is called bifidobacteria. Bifidobacteria is an important and key microbe for immunity. It represents your trillion-dollar industry of probiotics.”

Dr. Hazan also explained the mystery of why babies and young children were not catching Covid, and if they did, they were not at risk of getting a severe case of it or dying. She said that bifidobacteria is present in newborns, but it’s absent in elderly people as just part of the process of ageing. See where this is heading? Covid and the jabs are part of the population reduction agenda of the globalists who funded gain-of-function and instructed scientists to create “vaccines” that did further damage to the biological seat of immunity for all humans infected and/or injected.

It took Dr. Hazan eight months to publish this research paper entitled ‘The lost microbes of Covid-19’. She also wrote about how vitamin C increases bifidobacteria. In conclusion, the loss of bifidobacteria is a catapult for humans contracting, developing and suffering from a whole host of diseases and disorders, most of which would be prevented by simply boosting good gut bacteria with probiotics, eating clean healthy food, and avoiding the deadly Covid jabs at all costs.

According to the researchers, the COVID-19 vaccines — which have failed to stimulate a meaningful immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus — have unintended consequences that affect blood integrity. The team’s findings suggest that the vaccines can induce harmful changes in blood, which could pose risks not only to recipients of blood transfusions but also to those receiving organ transplants from vaccinated donors.

Six ways COVID vaccines cause blood damage:

1. The study indicates that spike proteins, which the vaccines are designed to produce, can persist in the blood, and accumulate in various organs. These proteins have been linked to several toxic effects, including damage to red blood cells and platelet aggregation. The researchers recommend that blood products be purified to remove these harmful spike proteins.
2. In some cases, the human immune system does not neutralize the spike proteins that are generated by the COVID-19 vaccines. Spike proteins that are not cleared by the body may lead to the formation of amyloid aggregates and microthrombi, or clusters of abnormal proteins and small blood clots. These aggregates are difficult to eliminate and can cause further health issues. Ensuring the removal of these aggregates from contaminated blood is crucial for patient safety.
3. Repeated vaccinations may impair immune function, resulting in insufficient levels of immunoglobulins (antibodies). Blood donated from heavily-vaccinated individuals may provide inadequate levels of immunity to common infections due to immune imprinting or class switch to IgG4. This could potentially make blood from heavily-vaccinated individuals less effective in fighting infections, cancer, and may pose risks to those with weakened immune systems.
4. The mRNA vaccines use lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver genetic material. The study suggests that LNPs and pseudouridinated mRNA may remain in the bloodstream longer than anticipated, which could lead to inflammatory reactions and unintended spike protein synthesis in various body tissues.
5. The presence of aggregated red blood cells or platelets, another side effect of spike proteins, could increase the risk of blood clots and cardiovascular events if not properly addressed before transfusion.
6. Long-term exposure to the vaccine’s spike protein might result in the generation of IgG4 antibodies and memory B cells, which could lead to chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction.

Unvaccinated blood is medically more valuable and should be the only blood used in transfusions

The researchers have called for an immediate review and overhaul of current practices regarding blood donations from vaccinated individuals. Their study highlights the urgent need for specific tests and regulations to address these serious risks.

“The health injuries caused by genetic vaccination are already extremely serious, and it is high time that countries and relevant organizations take concrete steps together to identify the risks and to control and resolve them,” the researchers wrote in their paper.

This research highlights a critical area of concern in the aftermath of the global vaccination experiment against COVID-19. As medical professionals and regulators realize what they have done to the future blood supply, the priority will be to ensure that blood and organ transplant practices are adapted to minimize potential risks and protect vulnerable patients. Unvaccinated blood should be regarded as pure, and be deemed medically more valuable than vaccinated blood. In fact, according to this study, unvaccinated blood should be the only blood used in blood transfusions.

WHO’s approval of Bavarian Nordic’s vaccine will help governments and international agencies such as the Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and UNICEF, buy it, MedicalXpress reported.

The MVA-BN vaccine — short for “Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic” — is a smallpox/mpox vaccine. It is sold in the U.S. under the name Jynneos.

WHO Assistant Director-General Yukiko Nakatani said, “The decision can also help national regulatory authorities to fast-track approvals, ultimately increasing access to quality-assured mpox vaccine products.”

Children’s Health Defense (CHD) Chief Scientific Officer Brian Hooker called the WHO’s approval of the shot for infants and children in Africa “a train wreck in the making.”

Hooker told The Defender:

“The safety profile is abysmal in adults (up to 2.1% serious cardiac events in clinical trials) and the vaccine has not been adequately tested for efficacy or safety in pediatric populations.

“In other words, the WHO has no idea whether it will work nor do they know how much damage it will do. The WHO has again abandoned good public health principles and waved their magic vaccine wand on the mpox outbreak.”

Dr. David Bell, a public health physician and biotech consultant, also criticized the WHO for overly focusing on mpox vaccines and neglecting to address broader public health issues in Africa.

“So far this year, about 40,000 children have died from malaria in the DRC [Democratic Republic of Congo] alone, and similar numbers of people from malnutrition, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDs,” Bell said.

Although these numbers “obviously dwarf” the number of mpox deaths, the WHO is allocating fewer resources to addressing them.

Bell — who formerly served as a medical officer and scientist at the WHO — explained what he sees occurring:

“We have become much better at detecting much rarer diseases such as mpox, and addressing these is certainly more lucrative for the growing industry feeding off the WHO’s misinformation regarding rapidly rising pandemic risk.

“However, it is clear that the people of DRC and Africa in general would benefit far more if WHO returned to impactful public health. There has been a move over recent years to a concentration on addressing the symptoms of diseases of poverty (which mpox is) with Western-developed commodities, rather than dealing with underlying causes.

“This signals a return to colonialist-era approaches rather than evidence-based public health. It presumably reflects the way WHO is now funded, with increasing control from the private sector and a few large Western nations with large Pharma industries.”

No clinical trials on kids

In its press release, the WHO said the MVA-BN vaccine can be administered to adults over 18 as a two-dose injection four weeks apart but can also be given as a single dose “in supply-constrained outbreak situations.”

“While MVA-BN is currently not licensed for persons under 18 years of age,” it said, “this vaccine may be used ‘off-label’ in infants, children and adolescents, and in pregnant and immunocompromised people.”

The WHO called for more data on the vaccine’s safety and efficacy in these situations.

The WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization — which reviewed all available evidence and recommended the use of MVA-BN vaccine — noted in its Weekly Epidemiological Record report that “MVA-BN has not been specifically studied in clinical trials in children.”

However, they said:

“The same non-replicating MVA viral vector is used as a platform for other vaccines that include MVA-filo (Mvabea) against Ebola virus disease (EVD).

“The EVD vaccine is approved by the EU for adults and children aged 1 year and older. Data from 5 published studies on MVA-BN as a viral vector platform for the prevention of EVD, with a total population of 52 229 children, support the favourable safety profile of the product.”

The authors of a new study — published Sept. 11 in The BMJ — presented results on MVA-BN’s effectiveness in adult males but said nothing about children or pregnant women.

In 2023, researchers funded by the UK Health Security Agency looked at the health outcomes of 87 children who received a single dose of MVA-BN.

They reported that the vaccine was “well tolerated” but that larger studies needed to be done to fully assess the shot’s safety and efficacy in kids.

The Defender asked Bavarian Nordic for information about its mpox vaccine in pediatric populations but did not receive a response by the deadline.

The WHO’s process for granting a drug “prequalification” approval for “emergency use listing” requires drugmakers to “commit to continue generating missing information to fulfill prequalification requirements.”

“Once this information becomes available,” the WHO said, “a PQ [prequalification] application should be submitted to complete the full process to achieve  recommendation for international procurement in both emergency and non-emergency settings.”

It is unclear how much pediatric safety and efficacy data Bavarian Nordic has collected so far and what it showed.

Mpox vaccine approved for U.S. kids and teens since 2022

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2022 granted emergency use authorization for the vaccine for “in individuals less than 18 years of age determined to be at high risk for monkeypox infection.”

Jynneos has been licensed for use in U.S. adults since 2019.

The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC)’s mpox vaccination website states that while teens and children at risk for mpox can receive Jynneos, it is not recommended for babies under 6 months.

The CDC also says Jynneos can be given to pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Although it remains unknown if Jynneos may pose risks to a developing fetus if taken during pregnancy, animal studies haven’t shown any harm to developing fetuses when the vaccine was given to pregnant animals, the agency said.

I’ve spent the interim researching and writing extensively about this topic. The Covid story is so much more complicated than I initially understood. It is not about a single public health event run by a few misguided or ill-intentioned individuals. It is not confined to any one government, and it is not a consequence of any one country’s internal politics. It is, I now believe, a precautionary chapter in a much larger global saga.

The important questions to ask about Covid, given this understanding, are also very different from the ones I was asking two years ago, such as: Was the virus an engineered bioweapon? Was it intentionally released? What were the names and motives of the people who ran the response?

Although these continue to be the focus of much public outcry and heated debate, they are actually secondary to the Covid story I will tell in this two-part article.

• In Part 1, I will explain the convergence of global developments that led to Covid being predictable, if not inevitable.
• In Part 2, I will look at how the globally uniform response to Covid was achieved.

In contrast to all my previous articles, this time I will include as few quotes and references as possible, because I want to tell a story based on my current knowledge and understanding, without a lot of distractions. The bibliography at the end includes key books and articles that tell different parts of this story with hundreds of pages of references, for those who are interested.

Part 1: The Lead-Up to Covid

In this telling, Covid is a predictable – if not inevitable – outcome of the evolution of the US national security state and its convergence with global public-private partnerships, in the period since the end of the Cold War.

Concomitant Rise of War on Bioterror and Unchecked Global Corporatism

When the Cold War ended in the early 1990s, it was quickly replaced by the “War on Terror” as the income-generating, self-perpetuating-and-expanding mechanism for the US military-industrial complex.

The war on terror generated decent returns for the national security apparatus when the 9/11 attacks were used as a pretext for Middle Eastern “regime changes,” and when the terror threat was parlayed into the creation of DHS (Department of Homeland Security) – the US Government’s designated overseer of perpetual states of emergency and wrap-around internal surveillance.

The anthrax letters following 9/11 launched a less-noticed, but equally lucrative and long-term, budget-expanding war – this one on bioterror.

Biodefense experts mustered support for the war on bioterror with the terrifying claim that advances in biotechnology could enable random nut jobs to create deadly bioweapons in their garages. Major cities were vulnerable to bioterror attacks through their subways, water systems, etc. Loss of life could reach millions. Potential economic loss: trillions. Preventing such calamities was worth almost any price.

This increasingly lucrative war on bioterror developed simultaneously with another snowballing trend after the fall of Communism: a global march toward unchecked corporatism.

When the Eastern Bloc fell, no military, geographic, or ideological pushback remained against global corporatist forces. Wealth increasingly accrued to individuals and companies operating not within specific nations, but in a supranational sphere of deal-making and influence peddling. International banks and investment funds came to own more debt, and hold more wealth, than any national governments.

In this environment, enormous global conglomerates arose – referred to as global public-private partnerships, or GPPPs – loosely formed around various areas of activity and interest. One such GPPP was the biodefense/pandemic preparedness industrial complex – a globe-spanning, “too-big-to-fail” entity that ran the Covid pandemic response.

Rise of the Biodefense/Pandemic Preparedness Global Public-Private Partnership (GPPP)

To understand how the biodefense/pandemic preparedness GPPP coalesced, it is necessary to first look at the fields of biodefense and pandemic preparedness separately, and then at how they came to be yoked together into one rapidly metastasizing cartel – first as part of the US security state, and then as an arm of the global governance structure dedicated to “global health security.”

When Biodefense and Pandemic Preparedness Were Separate

Before the Anthrax attacks of 2001, the field of biodefense was mostly the purview of intelligence and military specialists. In secret labs, biowarfare scientists tried to concoct deadly bioweapons so they could then devise foolproof countermeasures against them. Intelligence agents tried to assess the biowarfare capabilities of enemy nations and rogue terrorists. They devised plans for how to quarantine a military base or a city in the case of an attack, and how to get countermeasures to soldiers/civilians as quickly as possible.

Because a bioterror attack would likely be localized to an area containing at most a few million people, the biodefense response of quarantine-until-countermeasure was a geographically, and temporally, limited plan. And because there were no bioweapons attacks on the US after 2001, these plans remained entirely theoretical.

Similarly, before biodefense started attracting so much attention, pandemic preparedness was a quiet backwater of the public health realm. Epidemiologists and public health experts had come up with time-tested, non-dramatic plans to contain disease outbreaks: identify clusters of patients with serious/life-threatening symptoms, treat their symptoms with available medicines, isolate them from others if necessary, increase healthcare capacity on a local level as necessary, and let everyone else go on with their lives.

This type of disease outbreak preparedness is almost never front-page news and does not garner large budgets or public visibility. Yet it worked remarkably well to limit the number of deaths from even very deadly pathogens, like Ebola, MERS, and H1N1 influenza, to an average of no more than about ten thousand a year worldwide between 2000 and 2020 [ref].

In summary, before the turn of the 21st century, both the biodefense and public health fields had relatively modest plans for dealing with deadly disease outbreaks – whether intentionally caused or naturally occurring. And neither type of outbreak ever happened on an unmanageable scale.

When Biodefense and Pandemic Preparedness Merged

The object of biodefense is to protect the military, and also civilian populations, from potential bioweapons attacks. But the pathogen/countermeasure research at the center of biodefense efforts can also be useful for pandemic preparedness, making it a “dual use” endeavor.

Dual use refers to efforts that may serve both military and civilian objectives. In the case of biodefense/pandemic preparedness, it’s easy to see: pathogens can be bioweapons, but they can also spread naturally and may cause destructive waves of disease; and countermeasures, including vaccines, can theoretically be used against both bioterror attacks and natural disease outbreaks.

In the decade after 9/11, as biodefense enjoyed an increasing portion of national security attention and spending, the field attracted many more scientists, academic institutions, and nonprofits to the study of pathogens and countermeasures. Naturally, many of these non-military entities came from fields including virology, immunology, and epidemiology, whose work is used – among other purposes – for pandemic preparedness. The civilian side of the research was mostly funded by public health agencies and mega-nonprofits interested primarily in vaccine development.

It was not long before the two fields merged into one “dual use” entity – conveniently defined as a crucial aspect of national security – called simply “biodefense” or “health security.” In 2006, a new sub-agency was even created to cement the merger: ASPR – a military/intelligence-run entity within HHS – the umbrella civilian public health body. This symbiotic military/civilian enterprise could then attract a great deal more funding, and exert influence over a much vaster array of research institutions, nonprofits, and NGOs than either biodefense or pandemic preparedness could have done separately.

Another impetus for the merger of the two fields was their shared private partners: pharmaceutical companies, whose job it was to help design, research, and ultimately produce whatever countermeasures were deemed necessary for protection, either from bioweapons or naturally occurring pathogens. Ideally, the countermeasures for one type of disease outbreak would also work for the other.

This is why, in the decades after 2001, the biodefense field became obsessed with finding a “platform technology” that could provide protection from any conceivable bioweapon, while the public health/pandemic preparedness field pushed for a “universal flu vaccine” that could provide protection from any naturally occurring, respiratory-disease-causing virus. And, by 2019, both arms of the biodefense complex had invested a huge amount of funding and hype into a specific technology called “mRNA vaccine platforms” – thought to be the sought-after miracle countermeasure to all engineered viral bioweapons and all flu-causing viruses.

Biodefense/Pandemic Preparedness on a Global Scale

As discussed above, while all this merging of military and civilian research on bugs and drugs was happening on a national level, capital and political power were shifting away from nation-states and into global public-private partnerships, or GPPPs.

All of these gargantuan global entities share the following characteristics:

• Their backbone is the global banking system, whose interests they represent.
• Their agendas are usually aligned with the imperialist agenda of the United States – the world’s only superpower – and its allies.
• Their power to impose their agendas on the world’s population comes largely from the US military-industrial complex and its partners and alliances (NATO, EU, Five Eyes, among others).
• They seek to enforce their agendas through advanced surveillance technology and AI, with the ultimate goal of gathering identity, health, and behavioral information about the entire world’s population into centralized databases.
• They use international governance and networking bodies (UN, WHO, Atlantic Council, WEF, among others) to coordinate and disseminate their agendas to national governments.
• They use multinational consulting and management firms to help national governments implement their agendas.
• They include multinational corporations run by multibillionaires, who attain astronomical profits through their GPPP activities.
• They coalesce around various perceived existential crises, like climate change and “global health security” (another name for international biodefense/pandemic preparedness). These pursuits are marketed to the public not just as altruistic and life-saving, but as the only way to avoid complete global devastation.
• Their ability to convince the world’s population to support their agendas derives from the global censorship and propaganda industrial complex – run through international intelligence alliances, partnering with marketing firms, academic institutions, and nonprofits – using “nudge” methods and the psychological warfare playbook (psychological operations, or psy-ops) originally designed for coups and counterinsurgencies.

With these characteristics in mind, we can list some of the main components of the biodefense/pandemic preparedness public-private partnership, to see just how enormous a complex it is. We can also see how the national biodefense complex scales up and merges with the global entity:

The Biodefense GPPP Prepares for an Inevitable Catastrophe

Along with the backing of the international banks and the support of the censorship and propaganda industrial complex (shortened in this article to “psy-op complex”) and multinational consulting firms, all of the components of the biodefense GPPP represent hundreds of billions of dollars in funding and financing, thousands of national and international companies, agencies, academic institutions, and NGOs in dozens of countries, and hundreds of thousands – if not millions – of jobs all over the world. Its sheer size and control over people and resources make this an entity that is “too big to fail.”

Yet without a viable threat of a bioweapons attack or a catastrophic pandemic, this behemoth cannot continue to sustain and grow itself.

For that reason, as it ballooned in the two decades before Covid, the biodefense GPPP had to keep the threat of a catastrophic bioterror attack or global pandemic front and center. And it had to prepare all of its components to respond to the threat when it predictably, if not inevitably, occurred.

Tabletop Exercises

Preparations for the catastrophe included priming the world’s governments for the inevitability of such an event, accomplished through “tabletop exercises” – simulations of what would happen in the event of a deadly bioattack or pandemic.

Between 2001 and 2019, regularly scheduled “tabletop exercises” carried out by representatives of the biodefense GPPP effectively promoted the story of catastrophic global threats posed by bioterror/pandemic events. The content of each exercise was less important than the overarching message: naturally emerging and engineered pathogens posed an existential threat to humanity, and nothing less than a global response would be necessary to avoid armageddon.

Creating a New Business Model for Countermeasures

The most important component of a global response to such a catastrophe, in terms of accruing power and resources for the biodefense GPPP, is the manufacture and distribution of countermeasures to the entire global population, an effort spearheaded by pharmaceutical companies and their hundreds of subcontractors and subsidiaries.

But the traditional business model for private pharmaceutical companies does not lend itself to such a project. No private company can survive, let alone thrive, by devoting significant resources to building and maintaining manufacturing capacity for countermeasures against a hypothetical threat that might never happen. Furthermore, the oversight and regulation of medical products will almost inevitably delay the availability of novel countermeasures until after an attack or outbreak is over. And, finally, even if the countermeasures can be manufactured and approved quickly enough, what if they cause unexpected outcomes (e.g., injury or death) for which the companies could be held liable?

All of these obstacles were overcome by the biodefense GPPP through under-the-radar legislative and legal maneuverings and regulatory capture in the decades leading up to Covid:

Regulatory Barriers Lowered to Zero or Near-Zero

Over several decades, important loopholes in countermeasure regulation were introduced into the legal code, most notably Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Internationally, defense treaties and biodefense agreements can lower regulatory barriers such that emergency authorization in one country could be applied to others. The WHO Emergency Use Listing (EUL) accomplishes this globally. EUL was first usedfor the Covid vaccines.

Liability Removed from Anyone Working on, Distributing, or Administering Countermeasures

The PREP Act was a necessary additional legal measure to ensure that anyone who did anything with EUA products would not be liable in case the unregulated countermeasures went awry. The liability shield is extended by governments and regulatory bodies internationally along with EUA.

The Novel Coronavirus Trigger

By 2019 all of these preparations for a catastrophic global pandemic were in place, but the civilization-ending pathogen/bioterror attack had not yet materialized.

Then, in late 2019 a propitious public health emergency in Wuhan, China ended the very long dry spell in biodefense disasters: Clusters of patients exhibited severe symptoms of a respiratory disease that could not be attributed to any known pathogen. Analysis of the body fluids of the patients was performed, and a novel coronavirus was identified.

There are many unanswered questions about exactly how and when the novel coronavirus, subsequently called SARS-CoV-2, entered the human population, and how it turned into “the Covid-19 pandemic:” Was the virus engineered? When did the virus begin to circulate? Was the virus intentionally or accidentally released? Was it just one mutating virus, or several different ones?

Regardless of the answers to these questions, the important point to remember is that if it had not been SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan, it would have been a different triggering event somewhere else – and the global pandemic response would have been the same.
