Some days you wake up and the ground suddenly shifts under your feet, and today was one of these days. Besides Xi Jinping's right-hand man, Li Keqiang suddenly dying of a heart attack tonight. Xi sidelined him because he opposed many of the changes that went down in the last years.
A sudden death like that wouldn’t necessarily be enough to raise my eyebrows. Still, China’s Covid 0 architect also suddenly passed away today, and this one alone would pick my curiosity, both ? Well, someone is cleaning house.
From a geopolitical perspective, the first death is more significant than the second, since Li opposed the Covid measures, among other Xi-driven political decisions, but from my perspective, the second is much more… daunting. Months ago he wrote an internal memo urging the Chinese government to avoid extreme actions and measures, but speaking that publicly is a death sentence. Apparently, privately too.
The focus of this Substack is health, so if you want more context related to the tech trade war among other wa, check my other publications, but the following news article is even more formidable in the face of the last 2. In case you still don’t understand, the “finding” below is a warning, not a scientific announcement.
And since we are talking about veiled biothreats, how about we talk about the last one ? This new Cell paper on the continuous adaptative evolution in endemic viruses focuses on SARS-CoV-2 at certain sections.
Influenza is one of the prototypical examples of antigenic drift, how a virus mutates and changes its amino acids to escape immune, until very recently it was a singular example, almost in its own league. Here compared to Influenza A H3N2 and H1N1, SARS-CoV-2 mutates 2.5 times more, and some other researchers sometimes cite it as 10 times more.
SARS-CoV-2 shows no signs of stopping and the reasons are many. From the first few aggressively pathogenic “variants” (Wuhan to Delta), to the obvious vaccine, to the pitiful pharmacological intervention, especially Paxlovid and Molnupiravir. You can read more about the first ways below.
In regards to Paxlovid, I wrote a few articles covering it, but the most significant would be this one, where I argue and cite evidence on how Paxlovid usage is dangerous, it hinders the development of proper immunity, your body takes more time to efficiently clear the virus, and you don’t produce proper immune, therefore people who use Paxlovid as if they were consuming tic-tacs could become breeding ground for viral evolution.
Here the authors found, after extensive and detailed tracking, that Molnupiravir accelerates SARS-CoV-2 evolution, by inducing mutations. This effect was observed in multiple countries. Together with Paxlovid, this was another drug heavily used in clinical settings, and unlike Pfizer’s useless drug, hundreds of scientists warned about the potential of this drug to induce mutations, before trials were even proposed.
At this point quite literally all proposed interventions were at the very least counterproductive, but most likely harmful in the long term, but you should make no mistake or fall for narrative traps. This scenario was inevitable.
The drugs, the poorly designed, poorly thought out vaccines were merely accelerants, the fire was already there. This lead us to discuss and go against one of the current dogmas of biology and virology. SARS-CoV-2 now replicates like nothing else, it changes like no other pathogen in scientific history, it is a singular chimera, but nothing in biology or the universe for that matter grows infinitely.
What which point do we reach a replication threshold and the virus starts changing toward a more pathogenic state ? This proposition is not just observational, assume it is a…mathematical feeling. May or may not happen, alas it is something to consider, worth pondering about.
As a PSA, Tedros today posted on social media a video and the WHO is still pushing for a Pandemic Treaty, and it is even more egregious than the last propositions. These people won’t stop out of their own volition.
Until the next one, hopefully in a few days. Thank you for your continued support.
My main browser glitched on me, so for people who got a e-mail with almost a dozen annoying subscribe messages, sorry. Don’t have a single clue how it happened.
A friend brought to my attention that there is subscribe message in this email 10 times. I can't see it, so there is a glitch on my end.
Sorry for that but also have no idea how that happened, and how to fix it. I can't see it in any of my devices.
They won’t stop until
God takes them,
