Coronavirus Pandemic: Apocalypse Now! Or exaggerated scare story?

[Ursus Minor]

As of today, 1 March 2023, the recommendation regarding Covid-19 injections is, that people below 50 years of age, should not take it. But as I go to the health authority's official website - they continue to recommend people 50 and older, to take at least one, and those who are older, more shots.

May I be frank and suggest that they want to get rid of old age pensioners to save money?

Same thought

This was my first thought, too. It would be the sneaky way in Sweden to kill it’s old generations, given how bad they treated them in elderly homes back in Spring 2020 leading to many thousands of deaths. I am sure that in some heads economics played a major roll…

Within the elderlies, there is still the presence of older knowledge and truth of what Sweden once was. You know, the old country style of practical wisdom and craftsmanship. But it is dwindling…

Some of the older awakened ones, can still see through the deceptions of todays politics and economics - while the younger generation swallows most of the cool-aid and are over their neck in debts.

Scientist Behind Worlds First Covid Vaccine Found Dead

A renowned scientist who developed the world’s first COVID-19 vaccine has been found dead in his home, according to reports.

Russian scientist Andrey Botikov, a senior researcher at the National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology, was found strangled to death in his Moscow apartment.

Russia’s investigative committee has now launched a murder investigation over the gruesome discovery.

Botikov was one of the 18 scientists who worked on the Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine in 2020.

He was identified by authorities as the man who had been strangled to death with a belt in northwest Moscow.

It was previously reported he had survived the encounter after an intruder broke into his home and started rowing with him over money.

However, a 29-year-old man has since been arrested and charged with the murder of the scientist.

The Investigative Committee of Russia said they found the suspect in “the shortest possible time” after he tried to flee the scene.

Investigators claim he confessed to the crime during an “interrogation.”

The committee also reported the defendant had already been prosecuted for committing another “serious” crime.

Russian media reported that the suspect, known as Alexei Z, had spent 10 years in prison on charges of “providing sex services.”

Botikov had previously worked at the Russian State Collection of Viruses D.I. Ivanovsky Institute of Virology as a senior scientist.

He was awarded an Order of Merit for the Fatherland for his work on the Sputnik V vaccine.

Sputnik was the first registered combination vector vaccine against Covid.

Critics suggested the vaccine was approved without robust research into its safety and efficacy.

A 2021 article in The Lancet nonetheless claimed the vaccine “appeared safe and effective.”

In February, Russian General Vladimir Makarov was found shot dead in an apparent suicide at his country home.

He had recently been fired from his top job of ‘combating extremism’ in Russia.

In December, a Russian sausage tycoon was found dead after falling out of a window to his death while staying at a hotel in India.

The threat of global tyranny from the WHO's pandemic treaty draws ever closer

A great writeup from SOTT on the coming amendments to the WHO's IHR and the new CA+ treaty.

A snip:

What the two WHO pandemic instruments will do

As currently drafted, the CA+ and IHR amendments complement each other. The IHR amendments concentrate on the specific powers and processes sought by WHO and its sponsors. The CA+ concentrates more on the governance and funding to support these. Specificities in both instruments will change between now and the WHA vote in May 2023 and 2024 respectively. However, in broad terms, they are currently written to achieve the following:

IHR draft Amendments:

• Expand the definitions of pandemics and health emergencies, including the introduction of 'potential' for harm rather than actual harm. It also expands the definition of health products that fall under this to include any commodity or process that may impact on the response or "improve quality of life".
• Change the recommendations of the IHR from 'non-binding' to mandatory instructions that the States undertake to follow and implement.
• Solidify the Director General's ability to independently declare emergencies.
• Set up an extensive surveillance process in all States, which WHO will verify regularly through a country review mechanism.
• Enable WHO to share country data without consent.
• Give WHO control over certain country resources, including requirements for financial contributions and provision of intellectual property and knowhow (within the broad definition of health products above).
• Ensure national support for promotion of censorship activities by WHO to prevent contrary approaches and concerns from being freely disseminated.
• Change existing IHR provisions affecting individuals from non-binding to binding, including border closures, travel restrictions, confinement (quarantine), medical examinations and medication of individuals. The latter would encompass requirements for injection with vaccines or other pharmaceuticals.

CA+ (treaty):

• Set up an international supply network overseen by WHO.
• Fund the structures and processes by requiring at least 5% of national health budgets to be devoted to health emergencies.
• Set up a 'Governing Body', under WHO auspices, to oversee the whole process.
• Expand scope by emphasising a 'One Health' agenda, being defined as a recognition that a very broad range of aspects of life and the biosphere can impact health, and therefore fall under the 'potential' to spread harm across borders as an international health emergency.

What caught my eye from the above was this line:

• Expand the definitions of pandemics and health emergencies, including the introduction of 'potential' for harm rather than actual harm. It also expands the definition of health products that fall under this to include any commodity or process that may impact on the response or "improve quality of life".

Any commodity or process...? That's an ambiguous definition if I've ever seen one..

Also I'm wondering how this will all line up with the 4D space virus supposedly around the corner. Lot of people that "woke up" during the plandemic could certainly not be blamed for showing dogged resistance to any 'new pandemic' they're being sold. Especially if it comes riding on the tail of these new amendments and regulatory changes. But what if the next one really is the real one? That would also cast the WHO in a prophetic, humankind saving light, a perfect vessel for the 4DSTS-as-savior meme to embed itself in the mass consciousness...

Past Covid infection as protective as vaccination against severe illness and death, study finds

The immunity generated from an infection was found to be “at least as high, if not higher” than that provided by two doses of an mRNA vaccine.

The CDC is finally recognizing ‘natural immunity’ — legislators should follow suit

Now that CDC recognizes the protective effect of prior infection, it is time to update vaccination policies and school or work-entry requirements across federal and state or county governments.

Roseanne Barr unleashes on the VACCINE​

 

[JEEP]

The following has popped up on several alt sites, so take with a grain of salt:

Putin Orders Destruction of All Covid-19 Vaccines in Russia​

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the destruction of all Covid-19 vaccine stockpiles on Russian soil, citing an undeniable connection between what has been dubbed the “Moscow Vax” and a sudden surge of HIV infections in vaccinated persons, Federal Service Bureau agent Andrei Zakharov told Real Raw News.

Although Putin has not made a formal announcement, he has tasked his right-hand man, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, with purging hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies of the Sputnik and CoviVac vaccine variants. The military will ensure compliance by auditing vaccine repositories and performing spot inspections.

Like President Trump, Putin was deceived by a lie; a global consortium of devious doctors, health professionals, and government stooges spun a convincing yarn about a virus that would ravage the world unless vaccines were developed to inoculate the population as soon as possible. The WHO had infiltrated the Russian Ministry of Health and planted agents of evil within the Council of Ministers and State Duma, and Western propaganda—fables of people sick with Covid falling dead on the street—seeped through Russia’s once secure borders. No nation was immune to the most elaborate disinformation campaign in the history of humanity.

On 2 December 2020, Russia launched its first mass vaccination experiment, beating other nations to the punch and delivering 6.9 million doses in the first week. As of 21 June 2022, 81.5 million people have received at least one dose, with 74.3 million fully vaccinated. In the West and Russia, vaccine recipients presented side effects such as cardiac ailments, seizures, and blood clots, with many dropping dead at home, at work, or in the streets.

“The American CIA is brilliant. When harmless Covid spread, they made up stories of so many people dying to get us all to beg for the vaccine. Then when the vaccines came, we did start dying, and the governments can blame it on Covid, not vaccines. It was such a clever plot, the world believed it,” Zakharov said.

In December 2022, the Ministry of Health reported a dramatic, countrywide spike in HIV infections among persons who had received three or more Covid-19 vaccinations and did not fit the standard demographic—homosexuals and needle users. Between 2015-2019, Russia averaged 16,000 new infections per year. In 2022, that figure skyrocketed to 63,000 to include celibate, non-drug users.

Vladimir Putin, Zakharov said, arrived at the inescapable conclusion that vaccines could cause a person to develop HIV and AIDS. The evidence was unassailable; the more jabs a person got, the greater the odds of contracting HIV. Putin viewed the correlation as more than a simple coincidence—the vaccine was tailored to deliver Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

“A fake sickness tricks people into getting a vaccine that gives them real sicknesses,” Zakharov said. “Only satanic people could have dreamed this up. For President Putin, this is a very personal affair.”

Putin, he added, has remained “pureblood,” or unvaccinated, but one of his daughters was diagnosed with HIV two weeks after she’d taken her third jab.

“President Putin told her not to get any more vaccines, but she is Westernized, she accepted the lies, and now she must stay on medicine her whole life. This infuriated President Putin,” Zakharov said.

The daughter’s diagnosis was the last straw. On Wednesday, Putin decreed that Covid-19 vaccines be destroyed, and he banned all vaccine imports. The Russian military, our source said, has already destroyed vaccines at hospitals in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Kazan, Chelyabinsk, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod, and Saratov, and was forced to “put down” hospital staff that resisted the vaccine purge. Putin has reportedly said he will not rest until every vial is shattered.

Also, Putin has ordered the execution of 130 scientists responsible for creating the Sputnik vaccines.

“Here we don’t bring the guilty to trial—a waste of time. Why waste time when we know they are guilty. We deal with these matters severely,” Zakharov said.

In closing, we asked Zakharov whether Putin would have ordered such drastic action had his daughter not been diagnosed with HIV.

“No, he still would take care of these criminals. But her diagnosis crystallized his hatred for these evil people. There will be no more vaccines in Russia,” he said.

Another supposition involves mRNA vaccination of deer and moose plus vegetables:

Thanks to Zuckerberg and Gates: Your Meat, Vegetables, and Pets are Being 'Injected with mRNA' (Video)​

Hunters were the first people to discover that they were injecting moose and deer with the mRNA vaccines against Covid.

A former subsidiary of Pfizer, Zoetis, has already injected 100 million animals with mRNA in the United States, explained Dr. Bryan Ardis during an interview on Diamond and Silk’s show.
According to the doctor, our pets might also receive mRNA vaccines. “This mRNA technology is funded by the foundation of Mark Zuckerberg and his wife. They have been doing this all over the country for a year and a half.”

Why isn’t anyone talking about it?​

Hunters were the first people to discover that they were injecting moose and deer with the mRNA vaccines against Covid. Dr. Ardis referred to magazines for hunters. “I am not a hunter, but hunters have known all along. I didn’t know about it.”
“When I found out, I was like, why isn’t anyone talking about it?” said Dr. Ardis.

100 million shots in meat and vegetables​

Zuckerberg and his wife funded a study in which 100 white-tailed deer received a Pfizer PCR test and mRNA vaccine through Zoetis. “Subsequently, 100 million shots were given to animals. Nobody knew about it, and nobody talked about it.”
A hunter who kills a deer and thinks the meat is organic may be disappointed. Ardis went on to say that Gavi (Bill Gates) is into injecting mRNA into vegetables such as tomatoes, avocados, and lettuce.

Concerning the above, based on what the Cs said concerning Gates and the WEF plans reaching an approximate 80% success rate, then one can think these mRNA shots are being rolled out to game animals, pets, and food.

The first story of Putin ordering the vaccines destroyed could have a connection to the death of Andrey Botikov who helped create the Sputnik V vax.

What happens during fertilization in the vaxxed and damaged womb?
Stephanie Seneff:
- ".. The sperm can do this. Basically taking external mRNA, that could be from the virus or from a vaccine, taking it in - the mRNA - converting it into DNA and then producing, what's called PLASMIDs. So the sperm do this: Whatever mRNA they come up with when they are doing their thing, they make all these plasmids.. out of this mRNA: they are now DNA! They convert it into DNA and put it in these pallets. And they release these plasmids.
...

Not just via fertilization, it seems.

mRNA Vaccines Contain DNA That May Turn Human Cells Into Long-Term Spike Protein Factories – Study

The mRNA Covid vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna contain billions of particles of self-replicating DNA that may turn human cells into long-term factories for the COVID-19 spike protein, a study has found.

The result is thought to shed light on the persistence of vaccine spike protein and mRNA in the body for months following inoculation, a worrying phenomenon which has not so far been fully explained – though earlier experiments also found evidence the vaccine mRNA may be reverse-transcribed into the cell DNA.

Persistence of spike protein is believed by experts to be a contributor to adverse effects of the COVID-19 vaccines by inducing auto-immune attacks on the heart and other organs, among other mechanisms.

The discovery was made in the first deep sequencing of the mRNA products, carried out by Dr. Kevin McKernan of Medicinal Genomics and his team.

The researchers found that the vaccines were contaminated with significant quantities of biological agents known as plasmids. Plasmids are small circular DNA molecules that can replicate in bacteria, including bacteria found inside humans – and also in human cells when the plasmids are suitably modified to be used as a genetic engineering or gene expression vehicle, as in this case.

The vectors found in the mRNA shots contain the DNA that codes for the mRNA that produces the spike protein. A cell that has taken in these plasmids may be able to produce the spike protein indefinitely.
The Moderna vaccine was found to contain one plasmid per 3,000 mRNA molecules while the contamination in the Pfizer vaccine was 10 times higher at one plasmid per 350 mRNA molecules. The ‘safe’ level for such double-stranded DNA contaminants is set by the European Medicines Agency as the equivalent of one part per 3,000 mRNA molecules – though the researchers note that it’s “not clear how they set these standards” or whether they “had considered contaminating DNA that was capable of amplifying inside the host”.
Moderna meets this ‘safe’ threshold but Pfizer is over it by a factor of 10. The researchers add that in either case it “equates to billions of antibiotic resistant plasmids injected per person per shot”. That’s before they replicate: “Billions of these contaminants per injection is likely an underestimate of the entire burden as these plasmids can self-replicate in bacterial hosts.”

The researchers express concern that the plasmids also confer resistance to the antibiotics neomycin and kanamycin on any bacteria that take them up, and worry that this may “transform the gut microbiome” of a human host.

The spike-manufacturing plasmids are an integral part of the vaccine manufacturing process, providing the blueprint for the mRNA, but why they continue to contaminate the vaccines at such high levels and have not been more fully removed is unclear.

Dr. Anthony Brookes, Professor of Genomics and Health Data Science at the University of Leicester, told the Daily Sceptic: “This is a solid piece of research by a very knowledgeable team.”

He added:

The DNA vector molecules from which the mRNA is created (‘transcribed’) is a stable entity, and it is shown to be present at non-trivial levels in the vaccines. It will therefore presumably get into bacteria and human cells throughout the injected person, to be potentially transcribed into mRNA and cause long-term expression of spike protein.

We must hope that vector-carrying, spike-expressing cells are progressively eliminated by the immune system, but if tolerance is created by long-term exposure to the toxic spike protein then this removal may not be very efficient. In this worst-case but feasible scenario, a residue of spike producing cells may exist for months or years – slowly and steadily damaging many organs and tissues in the vaccinated individual. Treatments that help to eliminate or negate the action of the spike protein need to be established, and fortunately various candidate interventions are now being reported.

Pre-Word

The continuation of the Corona Investigative Committee, Session 143 with Florian Schilling. I do got severely sidelined by unexpected things** during my free days, that i never got the energy back, to continue with what Florian Schilling had to say about the injections and consequences. There is still very interesting details left to tell.

** (I got sidelined first, reading about more details in the 1994 M/S Estonia Disaster, the ferry which killed 852 in the Baltic Sea and now shows it might have carried nuclear material on it, and where the Swedish Gov has a deep finger in it all.

Then second, yesterday, totally out of the blue, I watched an interview about new witnesses in the Prime Minister Olof Palme assassination case (1986), which supposedly was shot back then - but likely not been killed at all, in a so called "Theatre Assassination", with the Swedish Gov deep fingers in it all. This route has already been followed deeply by Ole Dammegård, in an 800 page book several years ago, which I read, but now is also supported by Claes Hedberg who has been digging for 37 years following the Olof Plame case (scrutinizing the material, interview, documents, voice recordings etc) . He has now has come out with a 760 page book, updated to the latest findings, in which very fine details are being laid into the open. The Prime Minister Olof Palme murder case, was for Sweden, what the murder of John F Kennedy was for the US. And the Estonia Ferry disaster was for us a bit like 9/11.

So, yeah - i got totally, unexpectedly caught up in both.

Part 5

Florian Schilling continues about the issue of stemcells in newborns are being highly compromised after the mothers received the Covid-19 injections during pregnancy. Especially if that happened during the first trimester, the newborns got almost entirely their reservoir of stemcells destroyed. The stemcells responsible for making all the different types of blood cells and regenerating tissue. This reservoir is given to the newborn, and must last through their entire lifetime !


Organs have their own reservoir of stemcells
He also adds, that organs have their own resevoir of stemcells independently, in order to be able to regenerate organ tissue later in life. The Liver being the most famous of them all, known for its strong ability to regenerate. He does however not know of any studies, in which those organ stem cell reservoirs have been affected by the jabs, or not.

Transplantation medicine compromised
Within the medicine of transplantation the situation has risen, that the success rate of such, has fallen considerably - and this is a major problem for doctors around the world. The presence of spikes in donor organs is not fully known, or how those come about; whether the spike producing RNA is lying dormant, or active produced or left over. Still; increasingly many receivers are rejecting the donor organs, as they immune system is destroying/rejecting the organs, due to cytotoxic reactions.

What can be done ?
Florian Schilling emphathizes that one of the most important aspects is, to get the body free from spikes as soon as possible. This seem to be most vital (i think he goes into this anew later on)


Spike related illnesses - without spikes present in the body !

He speaks of a spike-induced phenomena (illnesses), albeit the people don't have spikes left in their bodies. This raised a lot of questions.


Spike Protein - Working hypothesis ? No, its rather propaganda.

The artificial spike protein supposedly was designed in a way, without the spike protein unfold its negative properties (in the blood stream and in cells), by designing it in such a way, with a "locking" mechanism built-in. Their claim that the induced spike protein from the jabs is harmless - we all know was bs. Why ? Because...

Think of the spike protein like a broccoli. It has two parts; the head and the stem. The head is equivalent to the S1 subunit, and the stem is equivalent to the S2 spike protein. In between you have the infamous "Furin Cleavage site".


The interesting part is the S1 subunit of the spike protein - because it is the S1 unit which contains the binding properties to bind to human cells via ACE-2 receptors. (but only in it's opened state, not when the head is closed) It is this binding to human cells, which causes those spike induced toxic effects. This however cannot take place, unless, the "broccoli" S1 subunit unfolds / opens up.

For that to happen, the S1 unit needs to detach from the stem (S2 unit) - which is done via the Furin Cleavage site ! The head falls off - and the S1 "broccoli head" opens up.

Now (and not before) it can attach to human cells via ACE-2 receptors, (on the human cells), and result into toxic processes.

• Damage of Mitochondria (the powerplant in our cells)
- and damages to Ribosomes (e.g. those translate RNA, make polypeptides, and express proteins in our cells)
• Inflammation (silent- as well hyper-)
• Hypertension (caused by numerous issues, VIADS, etc)
• Bloodclots
• Weakened immune system
• (Affect of) Oncogene / DNA repair genes (pathways?) disturbed / damaged / suppressed
• ... (the amounts of symptoms are almost infinite)


What did the designers of the artificial spike proteins do ?

They tried attach both an anchor protein as well a "lock" protein (2P) to the spike protein complex, by putting in a special sequence into the artificial code of the injected spike-protein RNA. Think of it like adding an anchor protein attached to the stem below, of the entire spike protein. A sort of locking mechanism.

So, it was assumed that the human cell expresses the artificial, entire spike protein, and then put's it out, it in front of the cell membrane, so that the immune system can peacefully read off "the garbage in front of the house", in order to see, what to do - in this case, to create anti-bodies against this pathogen. The idea also was, that the spike does NOT detach from the cell membrane (due to the inserted code, the anchor protein) in order not to create damage in case it get's loose.

Well, that was the idea... Or so we have been told.



Reality Check: It didn't work !!

Studies have shown that in the blood of the "vaccinated", free floating spikes have been found. The entire anchor plan has failed. With this, half of the precautionary methods / plans, have already gone down the drain. The original claim that the injected spike protein is harmless (compared to natural spike proteins), is no more valid.

(And if i recall correctly - natural spike proteins normally don't enter the blood stream in the first place, unless you have damaged tissues in the mucosa of your nose and lungs. For most of the time, corona viruses and their spike proteins do not enter the blood stream !)


The second "safety" mechanism (2P)

the designers did, was to add the 2P protein (2-key-lock), as a sort of locking mechanism, to prevent that the S1 subunit - or - the "broccoli" head - from opening up (prevent from opening).



But now remember; this 2P locking mechanism is built into the S2 unit, while the head head with the binding properties (when opening up) is located ... well in the S1 part of the spike protein. Huston we have a problem. The major key to the whole mess since day 0 of the genetic injections.

Because in between...the safety lock below, and the evil unfolding mechanism above on the head... we've got the infamous Furin Cleavage site...

That's the part in which "head" and "stem" are often get separated. Herein lies the evil of endless illnesses induced by the separation of the S1 subunit, getting loose, opening up and unfolding it's binding sites to the ACE-2 receptors in human cells... everywhere around the body. Unfolding its toxic properties, inducing an almost infinite amount of illnesses, e.g. though the interactions with our immune system on top, the occasion of the spike anywhere, and so on...



Supposedly

the designers had not planned nor foreseen two things; neither that the spike proteins would be cut in half, nor that the S1 subunit would get loose and swin free, while opening up its (head) aka binding properties.

It's like having a lock on a bicycle attached to a lamp post, but wheels detach, ready to rock'n roll aggressively through the larger neighbourhood at high speed. While the lock remains attached... to the lamp post...

Apparently there are now studies who supports and show all the above said (free floating spike proteins), that the mechanisms of the spike-protein design failed miserably. According to the Big Pharma companies, and "health authorities": free spikes shouldn't even exist, nor should free floating S1 spike protein subunits exist in the blood of the injected.

Well, they do. Unfortunately aplenty.
