The home for great culture

Hi Kevin, excellent 4 min overview, and article as usual.

Particularly damning that Pfizer removed the SV40 promoter annotation from their disclosed maps.

It would be most interesting to run some qPCR on some genomic DNA from volunteer vaccinated via buccal swab to see if you can detect the SV40 promoter sequence (though it might be in other vaccines), and/or an assay specific for the Pfizer/Moderna expression vectors (a duplex assay allowing Mod recipients to act as internal unvaxxed controls for Pfizer and vice versa would be really nice if the sequence differences permit, or even a 2 shared primers + PZ specific probe / MRA specific probe assay to a region with a few SNPs between the vectors).

It occurs to me that cheek swabs might a bit messy with multiple genomes from oral flora, but at least they are easy to take.

A more attention-demanding follow-up demonstration should genomic integrations in the cheek cells of volunteers be detected at an appreciable rate, might be to ask the male subset of volunteers to donate dna samples, via a - polite cough - “different” method, as a plentiful supply can be generated much more easily than via biopsy, and then an assessment of how regularly the blood/testis barrier is penetrated could be made.

If spermatozoa can be detected containing integrated parts of the expression vector, then that would surely make the public appreciate just how reckless this situation is.

Harder to get, but not impossible, from Ryan Cole for instance, would be tumour samples. It would be very intriguing if they were found to be enriched for integrations (especially for the SV40 promoter region). If you are in touch with him, and/or he has his own qPCR machines, then he could run an expression vector screen on each tumour sample as part of the routine.

Even a few positives would drive the message home, that this mass-transfection experiment with unbelievably shoddily manufactured products was incredibly unsafe (as well as ineffective).
