There appears to be some issue with the ingredients in all of the vaccines, ie, they are not consistent because of the speed of roll out and so many different manufacturers involved. I'm struggling to find it now, but there is a research institution in France, maybe THE research institution, tied to a hospital, and an article surfaced whereby the lady in charge was asking for a halt to the vaccination programme right now. She cited concerns over the inconsistency of ingredients....I can't for the life of me find it now, it may have been posted already? Sorry, that's all a bit vague but maybe someone remembers?
 
Same here, loreta. :shock:

Just when will be the point when I'll have to withdraw from most of the people I know in order to preserve my health?
And under which pretext?

Or is it still too early for such considerations?

I'm currently planning some ads for a support group to get people in touch and help them share their concerns with others about vaccinations and their fears of being pushed to the fringes of society if they don't comply.
Something along that line...
I thought this video with Dr Tenpenny was very shocking. Perhaps people who think that the vaccine is really wonderful and signals an end to all their troubles, should watch it before they get this thing injected:

 
I received that video from a friend yesterday. I don't know if she is right but it does not look good...





Very disturbing information, @Gandalf, from Dr. Sherri Tenpenny re: what's being "transmitted" to the unvaccinated by those who receive the vaccine.

First off, on a more technical matter, she distinguishes between "shedding," which is when someone receives a vaccine containing a live virus, as is the case with the chicken pox vaccine, for example, and that person literally "sheds" that live virus onto the next person who can then contract chicken pox, versus the vaccines for SARS-CoV-2, which do not contain a live virus, and therefore don't technically speaking, "shed."

In other words, with live virus vaccines, the unvaccinated person exposed to the vaccinated person (who is shedding the virus) would contract the exact same virus, with the exact same symptoms, etc., whereas with vaccines for SARS-coV-2, this is not the case given there is no live virus in the vaccines.

Again, this is a technical distinction, but still important since you can be written off as ignorant if you don't use correct usage in these areas.

So, as opposed to shedding, we're talking about the thing that's being "transmitted" from the mRNA (for ex) vaccinated person to the unvaccinated person. And while no one knows exactly what's being transmitted, what seems to be on the table for sure is the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

As attested to in the medical literature, it's become more and more evident that the spike protein on its own can and does do serious damage once it's attached itself to the ACE 2 receptors on the outside of one's cells. This is connected to all the ill effects (and deaths) we've been hearing about, whether to the lungs, the cardiovascular system, other organs, etc.

Tenpenny, at the end of her rather dismal seeming talk (given the potential dangers associated with the transmission of these spike proteins to unvaccinated individuals), does indicate that there are very determined, ambitious people working night and day to come up with a solution for the problems arising from these spike proteins.

Actually, I just came upon this extract that would seem to pertain:


ACE2, Much More Than Just a Receptor for SARS-COV-2​

Abstract​

The rapidly evolving pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection worldwide cost many lives. The angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) has been identified as the receptor for the SARS-CoV-2 viral entry. As such, it is now receiving renewed attention as a potential target for anti-viral therapeutics. We review the physiological functions of ACE2 in the cardiovascular system and the lungs, and how the activation of ACE2/MAS/G protein coupled receptor contributes in reducing acute injury and inhibiting fibrogenesis of the lungs and protecting the cardiovascular system. In this perspective, we predominantly focus on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on ACE2 and dysregulation of the protective effect of ACE2/MAS/G protein pathway vs. the deleterious effect of Renin/Angiotensin/Aldosterone. We discuss the potential effect of invasion of SARS-CoV-2 on the function of ACE2 and the loss of the protective effect of the ACE2/MAS pathway in alveolar epithelial cells and how this may amplify systemic deleterious effect of renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAS) in the host. Furthermore, we speculate the potential of exploiting the modulation of ACE2/MAS pathway as a natural protection of lung injury by modulation of ACE2/MAS axis or by developing targeted drugs to inhibit proteases required for viral entry.

I recommend listening to the entire interview with Tenpenny to really get the whole "dire" effect of this situation.

Having said that, and as mentioned here by Nucifera: enter a possible antidote to this dire situation in something that grows in abundance in the United States, certainly here in the northeast: the pine needle.

This is from Mike Adams. I've refrained from posting his stuff for a while for various reasons. His heart seems to be in the right place, but he seems to go over the cliff on occasion. His observations here are pretty good, so I've included the whole thing.

I'm also listening to his podcast (linked in original article) as he promises to get into the topic of pine needles. At this juncture, there's no telling how important that might become, and it also sounds like a tricky subject.

And who happens to be extolling the virtues of pine needles for staving off the ill effects of SARS-coV-2 spike proteins? Our old friend, Dr. Judy Mikovits. Let me paste in this entire article here given its potential significance:

Possible Antidote for the V-Serum and the Current Spike Protein Contagion | Way To Guard Against The Spike Protein Contagion Caused By The Covid Vaccinated​

Before it’s news.com

State of the Nation

Dr. Judy Mikovits (1 min. MP4 is attached) has revealed that the medical establishment has known all along about the antidote to the contagion – a contagion that is now being seen today by thousands of people who have not taken the serum, but have merely come in close proximity with others who have taken the jab.

(The word “serum” is being used here since, evidently, the way to avoid taking the jab is to say “I am allergic to the serum”.)

When the medical establishment and political promoters want to exempt themselves from taking inoculations, they always give themselves a legal way out, while pushing the “citizenry” to take the jabs.

“I am allergic to the serum” is one of their solutions.

Taking the serum is one thing. The spike protein contagion now being experienced in large numbers by those who did not take the serum, but just visited with a relative or friend who did, is entirely new and unprecedented.

What are the side effects being seen by this contagion?


  • massive headaches
  • micro-clots and sudden bruising throughout the body
  • exceptionally heavy menstrual cycles among both the young and post menopausal
  • miscarriages
  • reduction in breast milk
  • sterility among both women and men
  • household pets dying shortly after the owners get the serum.
Listen to 5 doctors discuss this unusual onset of symptoms being experienced now by thousands:

URGENT! 5 Doctors Agree that COVID-19 Injections are Bioweapons and Discuss What to do About It

The Antidote to the Contagion

This antidote to the contagion, that has been known of by the upper levels of the medical establishment and insiders of the elitist class for almost 100 years, is called Suramin, an isolated compound originally derived from an extract of pine needle oil.

It is only available by injection, and has been a closely guarded secret not made openly available to the masses during this “pandemic”, yet is an effective solution for parasites and viruses of several kinds, along with a large number of other conditions.

Yet anyone can now take advantage of this solution by tapping its root origin, pine needle tea, an antidote that is freely available today in evergreen forests and in many people’s backyards. (Sources for buying it are also listed below.)

How can this simple remedy work so well in the face of such a seemingly insurmountable condition?

There is a direct relationship between Suramin (the isolated extract), pine needle tea (a hot water extract of the pine, fir, cedar, and spruce needles), and pine oil (which is derived from the needles though an essential oil steam distillation process).

All three are derived from the properties of the conifer needle.

My personal take on this is that it is far better to get Nature’s whole herb source than just a tiny fraction of an extract. There are many other benefits that can be derived from the whole herb that will be missing from the isolated chemical.

My observation is that those who maintain high levels of health are not affected by either the serum nor the transference contagion. Their immune system seems to be warding off side effects at this point. Come winter when the spike protein in their bodies will be challenged with new pathogens, we will all discover our true levels of health.

Anyone on the fence health-wise, or depleted (which can be said of many of us today), are being affected to varying degrees.

The Trail from Suramin to Pine Needle Tea

Here is the trail of science and data that shows the derivative relationship between pine needles and Suramin (“the elist’s antidote” to microbial illnesses) – and which also provides a potential antidote for those affected by the spike protein contagion (for reasons explained within the following data):

Suramin - Wikipedia

"Suramin is used for treatment of human sleeping sickness caused by trypanosomes.[1] [a parasite] Specifically, it is used for treatment of first-stage African trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosoma brucei gambiense without involvement of central nervous system.[9][10] It is considered first-line treatment for Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, and second-line treatment for early-stage Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, where pentamidine is recommended as first line.[10]
It has been used in the treatment of river blindness (onchocerciasis).[2]"
Suramin has been available to the medical profession for almost 100 years. A summary of its antioxidant benefits are outlined in this report – 100 Years of Suramin (attached as a PDF).

The most relevant parts of the summary are outlined below with supportive evidence:

SURAMIN, THE FRUIT OF EARLY MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY

"When suramin was introduced for the treatment of African sleeping sickness in 1922, it was one of the first anti-infective agents that had been developed in a medicinal chemistry program. Starting from the antitrypanosomal activity of the dye trypan blue, synthesized in 1904 by Paul Ehrlich, Bayer made a series of colorless and more potent derivatives. Molecule 205 was suramin (Fig. 1), synthesized by Oskar Dressel, Richard Kothe, and Bernhard Heymann in 1916. Sleeping sickness (also known as human African trypanosomiasis [HAT]) was at the forefront of research at that time, not a neglected disease as it is today, and the development of suramin was a breakthrough for the emerging field of chemotherapy."
Now read the following paragraph within the subtitle (Too) Many Targets in the 100 Years of Suramin PDF to understand its antidote properties to the spike protein contagion (derived from the mRNA that gives instructions to replicate a spike protein in other cells):

"Suramin further decreases the activities of a large number of enzymes involved in DNA and RNA synthesis and modification: DNA polymerases (103, 104), RNA polymerases (103, 105, 106), reverse transcriptase (18, 103), telomerase (67), and enzymes involved in winding/ unwinding of DNA (107, 108) are inhibited by suramin, as well as histone- and chromatin-modifying enzymes like chromobox proteins (109), methyltransferases (110), and sirtuin histone deacetylases (111)"
This is medical-speak for inhibiting the inappropriate replication and modification of RNA and DNA.

This comment in the PDF also reveals Suramin’s ability to inhibit micro-clots:

"Suramin also showed inhibitory effects against components of the coagulation cascade (71, 130)…"
Excessive coagulation causes blood clots, mini-clots, strokes, and unusually heavy menstrual cycles.

This is why so many people are dying today of blood clots after receiving the serum, and why others are now showing unexplained bruising after coming in contact with one that has taken the serum.

Something is being transferred from one to the other, likely through the breath [my note: Tenpenny says it's transmitted largely through touching], complemented by a type of sympathetic resonance, or pheromone emanation.

The method of transfer is unclear at this point, but is certainly happening.

This phenomenon is not an accident, these symptoms were known well in advance of unleashing this serum on the public. Vaccine trials have been going on for decades.

Why did they decide to test a completely new approach with the mRNA without animal trials, thus using humans as the first test case for their effectiveness?

US Center for Disease Control: 3,486 DEATHS – 86,080 Injured in the U.S. through April 17, 2021 Following COVID Injections in 4 Months: More Vaccine Deaths Recorded Than the Past 15 Years COMBINED

European Medicines Agency: 7,766 DEAD 330,218 Injuries: European Database of Adverse Drug Reactions for COVID-19 “Vaccines”

An Obvious Sham

Any natural medicine with 0.01% of these deaths and side effects would have been pulled from the market immediately. That our professionals and decision-makers have continued to allow this sham to continue reveals that this sham is intentional.

The upper echelon of the medical profession promote this program to the people, while they exempt themselves from it, and then take their personal antidote to prevent being affected by the transference contagion.

Since when is it acceptable to kill thousands of people and maim hundreds of thousands more with a “medicine”??? Why are we finding this OK? Why are we still trusting the media and the medical wizards that dreamed up this sham? When will enough be enough?

The People’s Antidote

Now the people have the antidote
, and it is readily available in the form of pine needle tea. How do we know this? Because Suramin is a derivative of the oils in pine needles.

The whole herbal source (needles) is superior to the single compound extract (Suramin) – because the needles possess a full complement of phytonutrients providing numerous additional benefits that the extract is incapable of.

Now, here is the direct connection between Suramin and Pine Needle Tea:

Suramin is Derived from Trypan Blue

Trypan blue - Wikipedia

Trypan blue is derived from toluidine, that is, any of several isomeric bases, C14H16N2, derived from toluene. Trypan blue is so-called because it can kill trypanosomes, the parasites that cause sleeping sickness. An analog of trypan blue, suramin, is used pharmacologically against trypanosomiasis. Trypan blue is also known as diamine blue and Niagara blue…

Trypan red and trypan blue were first synthesized by the German scientist Paul Ehrlich in 1904.

Trypan Blue is a derivative of toluene which is a derivative of pine oil.

Toluene - Wikipedia

"The compound was first isolated in 1837 through a distillation of pine oil by the Polish chemist Filip Walter, who named it rétinnaphte.[10]"
I personally recall many years ago one health professional was using a Pine Sol bath to rid the body of parasites.

"Pine-Sol was based on pine oil when it was created in 1929 and during its rise to national popularity in the 1950s. However, as of 2016, Pine-Sol products sold in stores no longer contain pine oil to reduce costs.Wikipedia"
Yet pine needle tea provides a similar, if not superior, benefit, due in part to the fact that it is a direct mild extract of the whole herb leaving many of its properties still intact that might be destroyed by excessive heat during distillation and further dissection of its many nutrient components.

I harvested some young Dougles Fir needles last fall and have been adding it to my morning tea blend for the last couple of months. It must have been an instinctive call. I discovered the Suramin info just last week.

The Douglas fir needle tea I have been drinking provides an energetic lift and a nice boost to the immune system.

Pine needles are high in vitamin C and A among numerous other compounds which provide a long list of benefits:

A 2011 Korean study demonstrated using pine needles in tea was the best way to access the antioxidant benefits from pine needles.

The study demonstrated that the hot water extract of pine needle proanthocyanidins and catechins offer the highest levels of antioxidant benefits compared with chemical extract processes.

There are other known benefits that pine needle tea and the tea made from other conifers share, which include:

  • Analgesic
  • Antibacterial
  • Antifungal
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Antimicrobial
  • Antioxidant
  • Antiseptic
  • Antitumor
  • Antitussive
  • Antiviral
  • Aromatic
  • Astringent
  • Decongestant
  • Detoxifying
  • Disinfectant
  • Diuretic
  • Expectorant
  • Immuno-modulating
  • Improves circulation
  • Invigorating
  • Lymphatic
  • Relaxing
  • Relieves nervous exhaustion and fatigue
  • Relieves sore muscles
  • Restorative
  • Tonic
Herbalists the world over have known all along about the benefits of this simple natural tea. Pine needle tea has been used medicinally worldwide for thousands of years.

Wild Food Foraging – Pine / Spruce / Cedar / Fir – Evergreen Teas


A few notes of caution:
Be careful with the yew pine (which is not a true pine) and can be toxic, although it does have a few medicinal properties).

The cypress is not to be used as an essential oil in high doses, but normally safe otherwise.

The ponderosa pine is not good for cows mostly due to the observation when pregnant cattle eat the needles the loss of the calf has been observed, but has a long history of health benefits for humans for respiratory conditions, cuts, wounds, and burns, etc.

By far the vast majority of conifers have been used medicinally for thousands of years with an excellent track record. Get to know your trees. They may provide a medicine cabinet full of health benefits to you and your family.

Pine, spruce, cedar, and fir needle tea may end up being the easiest way to gain the numerous benefits of the evergreen trees, along with a natural protection against unhealthy replications of spike proteins today.

Combine with other herbs as desired to obtain further benefits and flavors.

Sources for Pine Needles

There is one primary American supplier (Etsy) for the pine needles (besides harvesting your own) that I am aware of at this point with 3 quality listings, each from a different East Coast wildcrafter:

Eastern White Pine Needles 1 lb. | Etsy

Blue Ridge Mountains Pine Needles 2 Ounces | Etsy

North Eastern Appalachian White Pine Tea Organic | Etsy

Here is the main reference link for new wildcrafters when they post their harvests:

Pine Needles Fresh Cut or Dried Wildcrafted NH White Pine | Etsy

Dosage: 3 cups per day or more of any desired strength (based on the quantity of needles added to a french press or teapot) with an approximate 1-3 tablespoons of needles per cup of near boiling water. This is a maintenance health-building dose.

Stronger amounts of needles to water can be used therapeutically. If it feels too acidic (due to the vitamin C) for your system, moderate the quantity and complement the tea with alkalizing food and dark green herbs or sea vegetables.

In order to grasp the seriousness of the situation we are in, and to understand why, we need to look back in history to the times in which this very day had been forecast, obviously planned for, and now created.

Here is one clear example:

“Jacques Attali was an advisor to François Mitterrand (former President of France) and wrote this in 1981:

“In the future it will be a question of finding a way to reduce the population. We will start with the old man, because once he is over 60-65 years old, man lives longer than he produces and it costs society dearly.

Then the weak and then the useless who do not contribute anything to society because there will be more and more, and especially finally the stupid.

Euthanasia directed at these groups; euthanasia must be an essential instrument of our future societies, in all cases.

Of course, we will not be able to execute people or organize camps. We will get rid of them by making them believe that it is for their own good.

Too large a population, and for the most part unnecessary, is something economically too expensive. Socially, it is also much better for the human machine to stop abruptly rather than gradually deteriorate.

We won’t be able to pass intelligence tests on millions and millions of people, you can imagine!

We will find something or cause it; a pandemic that targets certain people, a real economic crisis or not, a virus that will affect the old or the elderly, it does not matter, the weak and the fearful will succumb.

The stupid will believe it and ask to be treated. We will have taken care of having planned the treatment, a treatment that will be the solution.

The selection of idiots will therefore be done by itself: they will go to the slaughterhouse alone. “ This fragment is excerpted from his book “Brief History of the Future”, published in France in 2006.”

Understand that we are smart enough to find our own solutions, and apply them. Those willing to take proactive protective measures, maintain their health, and become more self-reliant will rise from this period of change and transformation successfully.

We will be the ones to structure the world to come with a new focus on the common good of all life everywhere. The old mindset expressed by that limited soul above will not be tolerated. That mindset, and those that harbor it, will vanish like the darkness before the approaching dawn.

It is true that many will go with the passing night, yet those that remain will then shine all the brighter.

Do your part. Take care of yourself first, then look to assist any willing to listen and join in the reconstruction.

You are being redirected...

Also, you can purchase Juniper Ridge Douglas Fir Spring Tip tea on Amazon, $13 for 20 tea bags -- not cheap, but it's made in America, and seems to be a reliable brand.

On a personal note:

I have to admit, maybe due to my not getting enough sleep lately, or the right kind of sleep, I've been feeling pretty low; a feeling exacerbated by the dismal report by Dr. Tenpenny re: the spike protein transmission to the unvaccinated. Actually, the interview with her ends on something of an optimistic note in a spiritual sense so I recommend sticking with the whole thing. But when I first watched it I stopped just before that part. I mean, it was really getting me down, the direness of this whole situation.

Then yesterday I shared the video with my husband, who has to work among vaccinated people five days a week. He watched the video as long as he could take it himself (it was only later that I went back to it, and watched it 'til the end).

THEN we decided to do a search to see if there was any sort of spike protein "antidote" already out there. And, sure enough, this pine needle information came up in the article I pasted in above, which is dated just two days prior to the Tenpenny interview. So, just as she said, a lot of people are working on this problem -- and wouldn't it be interesting if this very old remedy really does have this new application.

Funny enough, our property here in upstate New York is just filled with White Pine trees. In fact, more and more White Pines have been growing just behind the main house (we still live in our renovated "carriage house" until we finish the main "fixer upper" on the property). So, these White Pines have been growing up around the house, and we were thinking, when we finally get to working on the back of the house, that we should really transplant the trees to the surrounding forested areas adjacent to our yard since it would be such a shame to just chop them down.

But it really struck me rather profoundly yesterday that here we are, having wisely (it turns out) spent our last dollar (many moons ago, now) on this "fixer upper" property (with no money owed to the bank) (initially, it was supposed to be a weekend get-away, until things got too expensive in the city), but here we are, wondering what's to happen in the immediate future in New York City, and in the country as a whole, given the vaccines especially, and yet right in our own yard, growing wild as weeds, is something that could possibly be an "antidote" for the SARS-coV-2 spike protein transmission!

I really felt the presence of God in that moment, as if we were somehow being looked after -- and the timing, too, is telling, as I was just making plans to plant what's being called a "food forest" in the grassier portion of our yard (something you can look up on Youtube, as there are many talking about how to start this kind of garden). Actually, it was a show Del Bigtree recently did on his planting his own food forest that gave me the idea, and I've been looking into it for the past several days. Somehow even just the idea of working with the earth, and spending time with my kitty cat in the great outdoors seems a perfect reprieve from all the direness.

Final note on my [now] three-legged kitty: just as Covid got started last year my cat got into a real tangle with a woodchuck that had been living peacefully in our yard for several years. My husband was able to break up the fight, but it was pretty brutal, as the woodchuck had lodged its big (seriously infectious, we later learned) teeth into one of Crescent's hind legs. In fact, as a vet later told us, the woodchuck's mouth is a fascinating historical chronicle of infection, including that of plague! (Not the best critter to have nearby, it seems.) Our poor cat was able to get away, only he didn't return to us for most of the day, and by that time he not only had a seriously damaged lower leg and ankle, but a serious infection as well.

But, aside from losing the leg, and having to endure a very bad cold he caught while at the hospital, Crescent Moon White Paw (our fifteen year old Tuxedo cat) has recovered beautifully. Only, now we have to baby sit him when we let him out in the yard since there are too many predators around, and even though he doesn't exactly realize it, he is an amputee. But I'm thinking that if I fence off a "food forest" I can see that being a very nice spot for him -- and myself -- to spend some serious time outdoors.

Meantime, my husband and I have been gathering some White Pine needles and preparing our own pine needle tea. For my taste, I'm thinking of adding some fresh green herbs, like rosemary, thyme, etc., to give it some dimension. It really tastes the way you'd imagine pine needles would taste. It is a detoxifier, as well, so one needs to be mindful of that. In general it's good to research the possible side effects, or contra-indications before trying something new. But if it can help stave off this spike protein problem, it really seems like something to investigate further. Certainly, the above article is an impressive start.

I thought this video with Dr Tenpenny was very shocking. Perhaps people who think that the vaccine is really wonderful and signals an end to all their troubles, should watch it before they get this thing injected:


Thank you for linking this important podcast, Ruth. It was indeed shocking and depressing and I was very delighted that the ladies ended it all on a spiritual note.

What sticks in my memory are Dr. T's remarks, 'we really have to let people go. They are adults that have made their choices.'

As a rule of conduct against transmission she commends to avoid skin-to-skin contact.

As a side note, there must have been a member of this forum writing the following in her comment section...

In this video, which is embedded in the article I linked to in that last long post, the person discusses the taste differences between the selection of teas he made with a variety of evergreens. What he failed to do, however, was to let the boiling water cool to the point where you could easily dip your finger without discomfort. You don't want to use boiling water, as he did, in part because it will cause the tea to be bitter, which is especially true for the White Pine tea (as he indicates). Also, you are diminishing the potency of the tea by boiling it. I don't know if this would be true for store bought or homemade dried pine needle tea, so maybe look into that further. Possibly this has more to do with the fresh made teas since you want to maintain their "live" potency.

Note: this is in reference to using pine needle tea as a possible antidote to spike protein transmission from the vaccinated to the unvaccinated.
 
My daughter took my 14 yr. old grandson to get the covid vaxx yesterday. I am stunned. I had sent her the article about the teenagers already dying from the injection and still she did this!!! Now I find out that she and her partner have decided to go ahead and get the shot also. I have a feeling I will be taking care of a household of sick people this fall. I'm doing everything I can to stay healthy myself but I really don't know how this is all going to turn out now. I ordered some pine needle tea and another tube of Ivermectin. For now I am staying mostly in my room to hopefully prevent to much exposure. Glad I have plenty of reading material. Yay for Laura's new book! This is insane how information proof all these people are. I wonder what will happen to them when the wave hits full on.That is if they are still alive by then. It's heartbreaking really.
 
Pine Trees have many product uses and are imbued with useful qualities. Some are sources of shikimic acid which is used to make anti-viral drugs.

Another source of shikimic acid is Sweetgum tree fruit (Liquidambar styraciflua). The seed fruits of Sweetgum look exactly like the coronavirus. The resin has long been used medicinally and to make gum.

This article debunks the idea of seed tea = Tamilflu but I think nature may be giving us a clue

Let’s start with what a viral neuraminidase is. It is an enzyme–that is, a protein able to perform specific chemical reactions. Located on the surface of influenza, its job is to help the virus detach from an infected human cell by cleaving the bond between the cell and the viral protein hemagglutinin [7].

Figure 2, Actions of Neuraminidase [31]​

Screen Shot 2020 09 13 At 11.58.34 AM 300x275

This occurs after a cell has already been infected with the virus and when one of the newly made viruses is trying to leave the infected cell. Once the neuraminidase enzyme breaks this bond, the newborn virus is free to go infect other cells. If it can’t break the bond, then the virus never detaches from the infected cell and further infection is reduced significantly [7].
That’s where Tamiflu® comes in. It targets the neuraminidase enzymes of Influenza A and B by crawling into a little molecular pocket on the enzyme called the “active site” and preventing it from cleaving that cell-virus bond [7]. It is important that Tamiflu® fits properly in that pocket so that it can effectively “inhibit” the enzyme. So, the drug’s shape matters a lot. We sometimes call this “specificity.”
