Industrialization and Militarization of Japan

Emperor Meiji

Episode 45: Takagawa and Meiji

Foundations of Eastern Civilization

Dr Craig Benjamin (2013)

Film Review

After 1854, growing Samurai resentment over the trade treaty the US forced on Japan (see Medieval Japan: Samurai, Shoguns and Gunboat Diplomacy) led to civil war. Armed with Western weapons, The Shogun’s opponents prevailed and forced him to resign. In 1868, Meiji became emperor, the first Japanese emperor to have real power since 1171.*

The Industrialization of Japan

Under Meiji’s leadership, Japan sought Western help in undergoing transformation to a modern military, industrial society with modern transport, communication and education systems. In 1878, Meiji crushed the last remaining Samurai and forced inefficient farmers off the land by converting the archaic grain tax to a monetary tax.

Most industries were owned by four prominent families,** who also owned all the private banks. Economic development came at great cost to Japanese peasants who produced 90% of the wealth to pay for development. Popular uprisings in 1883 and 1884 were brutally crushed, as was Japan’s burgeoning labor movement (1901).

Under the 1889 constitution written in 1889, Japan became a constitutional monarchy with a democratically elected upper and lower Diet. The emperor retained the power to appoint the prime minister and dissolve the Diet.

The Colonization of China and Korea

In 1876, Japan purchased modern warships from the UK, which helped them colonize Korea (see 19th Century Korea: Resisting European Colonization to Fall Victim to Japan), defeat China in the 1895 Sino-Japanese War and Russia in 1905 in the Russia-Japanese War.

In 1906, Japan built a railroad in Manchuria (and sent a military force to guard it). After entering World War I on the side of the Allies, Japan, the Treaty of Versailles rewarded them with all Germany’s former possessions in the Pacific and de facto control of all Chinese territories.

In 1920, Japan joined the League of Nations, and in 1928 they signed the Kellogg-Briand Pact renouncing war as an instrument of foreign policy.

Build-up to World War II

Japan’s economy surged during the 1920s, producing genuine prosperity for most of its population for the first time. After 1929, the Great Depression hit Japan hard, as it relied on US markets to absorb most of its manufactured goods. Growing popular unrest led to a rise of right wing nationalism and the 1932 assassination of Japan’s prime minister (by a group of naval officers) ended civilian control of the Japanese government.

Japan subsequently blew up a section of the (Japanese-owned) Manchurian railroad as a pretext to invade Manchuria. Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek appealed to the League of Nations, which called on Japanese troops to withdraw. Instead Japan left the League. In 1937, they launched an all-out war on China, deliberately targeting civilian non-combatants.

In 1940 they signed a Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy, and in 1941, a Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact, which allowed them to acquire territory in the Pacific (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Borneo, Burma, Dutch West Indies) without Russian interference.

Benjamin provides a very cursory overview of the US/UK war against Japan after it declared war on both countries in December 1941. He makes the case (which many historians dispute) that the US had to drop the atomic bomb on the Japan because they were unlikely to surrender.***

Dr McCullough: Pandemic Won’t End Until Mass Vaccination Stops

By Peter A. McCullough, M.D., MPH

 

Research published in ACS Infectious Diseases shows mass vaccination against COVID-19 is backfiring as SARS-CoV-2 readily mutates and thrives in the vaccinated.

A principle of infectious diseases is “antimicrobial stewardship” which involves choosing the right antibiotic for the right patient and never over-prescribing or blanket-covering patients who don’t need treatment.

Another principle is “narrowing the spectrum” of a drug once the organism is identified by culture or other methods.

These fundamental approaches to the use of antibiotics work to limit the problem of bacterial resistance and the development of “superbugs.”

Every year hospitals each produce their antibiogram or report of their common infections encountered and what antibiotics either are effective (organism is sensitive) or ineffective (organism is resistant).

In the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, these principles have been applied to the use of monoclonal antibodies and the process explains why various EUA products (e.g., bamlanivimab) were pulled from the market when they were understood to be no longer effective at neutralizing SARS-CoV-2.

This entire thought process has been thrown out the window for COVID-19 vaccines. For 18 months the ancestral strain Wuhan Institute of Virology spike protein was the featured antigen for Pfizer, Moderna, Janssen, AstraZeneca and Novavax vaccines.

Within a few months, there was mounting evidence that SARS-CoV-2 easily mutated to escape the reach of antibodies generated by the vaccines which would apply to serious invasive illness (IgG and IgM).

Because the COVID-19 vaccines have never been demonstrated to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 in the nasopharynx, the only theoretical benefit would be for systemic disease.

It has now become apparent that nature has the upper hand over the vaccine manufacturers as SARS-CoV-2 has far greater alacrity.

Because replication can allow changes in genetic code that rapidly allow continued survival, SARS-CoV-2 enjoys a library of ~28k mutations of which ~4.5K are in the receptor binding domain of the spike protein or the tip of the spear.

Rui Wang and colleagues, using detailed modeling techniques of the mutations prevalent in the more intensely vaccinated countries, have shown indeed mass vaccination is backfiring and fueling more viral resistance to the limited antibody library that could be generated by the vaccines.

Wang’s analysis suggests that future vaccine development against SARS-CoV-2 is hopeless. The virus is simply too nimble and can manipulate the “binding free energy” between the RBD and its human target the ACE2 receptor.

This means the more vaccinations are delivered the greater the number of mutant stains and the longer the virus will propagate and extend the pandemic.

Thus, a key step in ending the pandemic will be termination of mass vaccination.

CHD Attorneys File Federal Lawsuit to Stop California Law That Punishes Doctors for COVID ‘Misinformation’

 




By  The Defender Staff

Attorneys for Children’s Health Defense on Thursday sued California Attorney General Rob Bonta and the Osteopathic Medical Board of California over California’s new law that subjects the state’s doctors to discipline for sharing “misinformation” or “disinformation” about COVID-19 with their patients.

Attorneys for Children’s Health Defense (CHD) on Thursday sued California Attorney General Rob Bonta and the Osteopathic Medical Board of California over California’s new law that subjects the state’s doctors to discipline — including the suspension of their medical licenses — for sharing “misinformation” or “disinformation” about COVID-19 with their patients.

Attorneys Rick Jaffe, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., CHD chairman and chief litigation counsel, and Mary Holland, CHD president and general counsel, filed the suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California on behalf of plaintiffs Dr. LeTrinh Hoang, Physicians for Informed Consent and Children’s Health Defense – California Chapter.

The lawsuit, which seeks a preliminary injunction, alleges that California Assembly Bill 2098 (AB 2098) violates physicians’ First Amendment and free speech rights by prohibiting them from sharing information with their patients if it is inconsistent with what the law refers to as “contemporary scientific consensus” and the “standard of care.”

“The notion that the state can limit the information patients can receive from their doctors about deeply personal and important matters is constitutionally intolerable,” Jaffe said.

“If the pandemic has taught us anything, it has taught us that there is no international scientific consensus on most of the important scientific questions about the pandemic. Different countries have taken different approaches to lockdowns and mandates, and the U.S. has done surprisingly poorly among industrialized countries,” he added.

Holland also commented on the law:

“The doctor-patient relationship demands truthful information on risks as well as the benefits of the COVID medical interventions and the available alternatives. Free discussions between doctors and patients must remain sacred, not censored by state officials.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom in October signed AB 2098, which is set to take effect Jan. 1, 2023.

Two lawsuits challenging the law previously were filed. The first case, McDonald v. Lawson, was dismissed with leave to amend. The second suit, Hoeg et al. v. Lawson et al., is still pending.

Unlike the previous two cases, CHD’s lawsuit directly challenges the science — or lack thereof — behind the mainstream COVID-19 narrative.

According to plaintiffs’ attorneys, the preliminary injunction will demonstrate that public health officials’ edicts regarding every major public health issue related to the pandemic were not based on convincing science but rather on hope, wishful thinking, inadequate investigation and, in some cases, willful suppression of information contradicting the narrative.

The lawsuit also examines the early promotion of vaccines that were touted to prevent infection and transmission, and it calls attention to misleading data regarding prevention of hospitalizations and death — posing troubling questions, including the unexplained rise in all-cause mortality among younger population subsets.

According to the complaint, Hoang, a Los Angeles-based pediatric osteopath, would like to provide information to her male patients between ages 17-39 of the increased risks of cardiomyopathy and other cardiac serious adverse events of the mRNA shots. “This information is evidence-based and widely reported in the medical literature,” the complaint states.

However, if AB 2098 takes effect, according to the complaint, this type of evidence-based advice “could be viewed as contrary to the vague and undefined ‘contemporary scientific consensus’ which the law may view as a departure from the standard of care.”

As a result, Hoang is reluctant to provide the evidence to patients “unless this Court stops the enforcement of the law by the Board, pending the outcome of this case.”

When Newsom signed the bill in October, he said the law applies only to physicians’ speech with patients during discussions directly related to COVID-19 treatment.

When the bill passed, Kennedy told The Defender:

“Under the new rubric, the doctor no longer serves the best interest of the patient but acts as an agent of state policy.

“History is replete with nightmarish examples of what happens when doctors stop healing and act instead to advance ‘the greater good.’ Governments have variously cited that phrase to justify euthanasia of the elderly, mental defectives, homosexuals and other ‘useless eaters’ and to enforce ‘one-child’ policies.

“When governments start practicing medicine, the story never ends well.”

AB 2098 was introduced in mid-February by California Assemblymember Evan Low — one of seven Democratic lawmakers who in January formed the Vaccine Work Group to develop legislation promoting the use of COVID-19 vaccines while “battling misinformation.”

The bill passed the California Assembly in May, and the California Senate in late August.

The American Medical Association (AMA), which strongly supports the bill, hopes other states will follow suit in “ensuring that licensing boards have the authority to take disciplinary action against health professionals for spreading health-related disinformation,” according to a new policy adopted at its mid-June annual meeting aimed at addressing public health “disinformation.”

The AMA’s adopted policy expanded on prior efforts and called for the organization to work with “health professional societies and other relevant organizations to implement a comprehensive strategy to address health-related disinformation disseminated by health professionals.”

Numerous doctors have spoken out against the bill, including Dr. Michelle Perro, a California pediatrician, who in October told The Defender:

“Physicians were reticent prior to the passage of this draconian bill to speak on behalf of their patients. With looming threats of loss of livelihood, it is unlikely that any physician will speak out at this juncture. For those physicians still willing to throw down the gauntlet, a mass exodus from California will likely ensue …

“But the largest concern is regarding our children. Parents will not be able to depend on medical professionals and need to protect their own children against ill-advised experimental therapies. This bill will not only remove healthy discourse but will further divide our communities.”

Pitiful HHS Secretary Urges COVID Booster Every 2 Months

Posted BY: Bill | NwoReport

HHS resorts to scolding as the vast majority of Americans reject shots

With only 14% of adults choosing to get the new bivalent, omicron-specific COVID shot, the White House has launched a campaign urging people to get a COVID booster once a year.

A tweet Monday from Vice President Kamala Harris said: “One shot, once a year – that’s all most people will need to stay protected from COVID year-long. Make a plan to get your shot at http://vaccines.gov.”;

The following day, however, Biden’s secretary of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra, tweeted that if “it’s been over 2 months since your last dose, make a plan to get one now.”

An updated COVID vaccine can help protect you from the worst outcomes of COVID. If it’s been over 2 months since your last dose, make a plan to get one now.

Will Swiss court action over vaccine injuries turn the worldwide tide?

 

Janice Davis

TCW

CRIMINAL charges have been filed against the Swiss drugs authority on behalf of six people allegedly injured by the Covid vaccination. A team of lawyers and scientists have compiled a comprehensive evidence report and have made publicly available around 1,200 items of evidence, arguing that Swissmedic has created a risk to public health which significantly exceeds that of SARS-CoV-2.

They assert that the authority approved the new gene therapeutics, although the minimum standards required by law were never met, citing a lack of evidence as to the effectiveness of the vaccines, the failure to minimise the risks associated with that approval, and failing to protect the health of consumers. As a result, it is alleged, the public was misled by incomplete and untrue information about the actual benefit-risk ratio of the so-called vaccination.

The criminal complaint was filed on July 14, 2022, but the authorities have not responded. As a result, the lawyers held a press conference on November 14, four months later.

They pointed out that these mRNA preparations are not in fact vaccines, that they had neither positively influenced the course of the pandemic nor prevented deaths, and that over time, more and more groups have received warning signals, which Swissmedic ignored. The lawyers demand that the approval of all mRNA ‘vaccines’ be suspended, and criminal proceedings be opened against those responsible at Swissmedic. The first Cantonal proceedings against vaccinating doctors have already been opened.

Swiss media has reported widely, although in brief, on this criminal complaint. The topic of vaccination side effects is also increasingly addressed in the public service SRF – yesterday’s news reported that 38 per cent of side effects are classed as ‘serious’. In addition to myocarditis, other adverse reactions such as viral reactivation and the possibility of serious complications were identified.

Swissmedic is the Swiss surveillance authority for medicines and medical devices, analogous to the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). All medical products require its approval before being brought to the Swiss market, and the products may be made available only if their quality, safety and effectiveness are sufficiently evaluated and approved.

Between January 2021 and November 2022, 16,212 reports were made to the agency of adverse reactions to the Covid-19 vaccines in Switzerland. On evaluation, the agency stated that the overall positive benefit-risk ratio remained. The 38 per cent serious classification was confirmed. Among other analyses, several negative features were identified, including myocarditis, side-effects from bivalent vaccines, and various menstrual disorders. Swissmedic didn’t think these were sufficient to alter the claimed positive benefit-risk ratio.

TCW  has already reported that in November 2021 households in Switzerland received a flyer from the health authorities, encouraging all residents to come forward for their Covid-19 jabs. Within the text were included such reassurances as ‘the Covid-19 vaccine is very effective and prevents serious complications and deaths’ and ‘serious adverse effects are very rare. The vaccination is safe’. And to settle the matter in citizens’ minds, there appeared the clincher: ‘Serious complications and suffering from the illness are much more common than serious side effects from the vaccine’. Two A3 sides of 100 per cent certainties.

This confidence is shattered by the chart included in the legal depositions submitted by the Swiss lawyers Kruse Law to the courts, detailing on a specified time-line the emergence of risk factors in relation to the ‘vaccines’ since December 2020. (Factors identified translated from the German below.)

Source: Vikendi 

(NB: Comirnaty, Spikevax = Swiss vaccine brands)

The 16 factors identified are as follows:

1.    Inadequate animal studies, elementary research omitted.

2.    Temporary authorisation, two weeks as opposed to the usual 12 weeks.

3.    Control group dismissed, clinical studies virtually worthless.

4.    Toxic pollution, first indications thereof in authorisation papers.

5.    Lipid nano-particles, potentially carcinogenic, damaging to fertility, foetus.

6.    Delayed effects, indications of potential neurological and autoimmune illnesses.

7.    Suspected Comirnaty cases – 42,086 side effects, 1,200 deaths.

8.    Authorisation studies, missing proof of effectiveness in young people.

9.    Falsified data, found in Comirnaty authorisation study.

10.  Comirnaty’s clinical studies – 46 deaths (1.5 per cent) in post-marketing phase.

11. Teenagers: 6 times higher risk of myocarditis than of suffering serious case of Covid.

12.  Suspected cases in Switzerland, EU, USA: 13,632 deaths; 1,095,777 side effects.

13.  Alarm bells: 128 publications showing health problems; 223 showing clotting disorders; 7 showing possible deaths.

14.  Producer admission: safety profile for pregnant and breast-feeding women not known.

15.  EU, USA: 2,177 stillbirths from Comirnaty; 810 stillbirths from Spikevax.

16.  Male fertility, sperm count 150 days after second jab 15.9 per cent lower than before.

So much for the positive benefit-risk ratio!

Elsewhere in the world, health authorities have continued to promote nationwide vaccination programmes, advertising additional booster shots even now. They do so confident in the knowledge that it was made clear that people couldn’t sue the drug companies for any unintended consequences arising from Covid jabs. At the moment, the only legal activity in this area appears to be the drug companies squabbling amongst themselves over patent violations. Hopefully, this action in Zürich will prove to be a game-changer.

Australian Prime Minister Tells US to Drop Charges Against Assange

 

By Dave DeCamp

Antiwar.com

Anthony Albanese’s comments came after five major news organizations finally spoke out for Assange

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Wednesday said that he has personally asked the US government to drop its case against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is an Australian citizen.

Albanese, who previously rejected public pressure to push for Assange’s release, said that he raised the issue with US officials in recent meetings.

“The government will continue to act in a diplomatic way, but can I assure the member … that I have raised this personally with representatives of the United States government,” Albanese said.

“My position is clear and has been made clear to the US administration – that it is time that this matter be brought to a close,” the Australian leader added.

Assange has been held in London’s Belmarsh Prison since April 2019 as the US is trying to extradite him for exposing government secrets and war crimes. The US Department of Justice has indicted Assange using the Espionage Act for receiving and publishing leaks from whistleblower Chelsea Manning, a standard journalistic practice.

If extradited to the US, Assange could face a sentence of up to 175 years in a maximum security prison for his journalism. Albanese’s comments came after The New York Times and four major European news outlets finally spoke out for Assange in a letter to the US government.

In the letter, the five news organizations said that “publishing is not a crime” and that it was time for the US “to end its prosecution of Julian Assange for publishing secrets.” The letter acknowledged that Assange’s work “in the public interest is a core part of the daily work of journalists.”

The DOJ declined to comment when asked by Antiwar.com if dropping the charges against Assange was being considered

Fracking Company Admits Criminal Responsibility, Will Pay $16.29 Million to Build Pennsylvania Water System

By Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.

Coterra Energy (formerly Cabot Oil & Gas), the gas-drilling company made famous by the documentary “Gasland,” will pay $16.29 million to connect the homes of residents in the rural Pennsylvania community of Dimock to a clean water source.

 

The gas-drilling company made famous by the documentary “Gasland” will pay $16.29 million to connect the homes of residents in the rural Pennsylvania community of Dimock to a clean water source. The company also will pay the residents’ water bills for 75 years.

In a landmark decision announced Tuesday, Houston-based Coterra Energy (formerly Cabot Oil & Gas) pleaded no contest to a slate of criminal environmental charges. The deal culminated 14 years of frustration and uncertainty for hundreds of residents in rural northeastern Pennsylvania.

In Pennsylvania, a no-contest plea means the company has accepted criminal responsibility.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who announced the plea deal, filed the original charges against the drilling company in June 2020, after a grand jury investigation found the company’s gas wells were “faulty,” resulting in flammable methane leaking into aquifers in Dimock and the surrounding area.

In what The Associated Press described as “one of the most prominent pollution cases ever to emerge from the U.S. drilling and fracking boom,” prosecutors and local residents claimed that not only did the company’s fracking activities pollute the community’s groundwater, but that Coterra tried to evade responsibility.

Craig Stevens, a resident of the affected region and advocate for local residents, said Coterra faced 15 criminal charges, including nine felonies and six misdemeanors.

Despite the company’s claims that the gas in local groundwater was “naturally occurring,” the company faced — and ultimately pled no contest to — charges that included the illegal discharge of industrial wastes and unlawful conduct under Pennsylvania’s Clean Streams Law.

Commenting on the plea deal, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., chairman and chief litigation counsel at Children’s Health Defense, told The Defender:

“I visited Dimock in 2010 and watched fires come from people’s faucets while the gas companies were denying everything. A dozen of the activists who hosted my visit have since died of cancer and other diseases that are plausibly related to contamination.

“I’m grateful for this victory and Attorney General Josh Shapiro for standing up to the fracking industry. This is the first time that an active driller has ever been held responsible for poisoning water and ruining people’s lives.”

Wenonah Hauter, executive director of Food & Water Watch, applauded the deal, but also called on elected officials to do more.

“After more than a decade of glaring inaction from state and federal leaders, finally the people of Dimock have a measure of justice thanks to the work of Attorney General Shapiro,” Hauter said.

[…]

Settlement better than a guilty verdict, attorney general says

The plea deal includes a plan to deliver “a clean, reliable supply of drinking water” to the affected area. The plan stems from tests that were ordered by the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office for dozens of homes in the region.

Affected residents were briefed on the plan Nov. 21. Pennsylvania American Water will drill two wells — a “public groundwater system” — and a treatment plant that will remove contaminants from the water. The water will be piped to approximately 20 homes.

[…]

The grand jury in 2020 was critical of the company’s “long-term indifference to the damage it caused to the environment and citizens of Susquehanna County,” where many residents used bottled water, bulk water purchased commercially, or water “drawn from creeks and artesian wells” instead of their own well water.

Faucets on fire caught attention of international politicians, documentary filmmakers — but not local officials

Troubles for the residents of Dimock — about 150 miles north of Philadelphia — and the surrounding area began Sept. 11, 2008, according to Stevens.

“That’s when Cabot Oil & Gas was drilling, fracking vertical wells, and they had three private water wells go bad in a 24-hour period. That was 14 years ago,” said Stevens.

An exploding water well caught the public’s attention, as did reports by area residents of symptoms such as dizziness, rashes and vomiting, which they blamed on their well water.

Awareness of the events in Dimock soon spread beyond the boundaries of this rural area. The Emmy Award-winning documentary “Gasland,” released in 2010, showed residents of the region setting their tap water on fire.

Largest-ever investigation of environmental crimes in Pennsylvania 

Stevens told The Defender he called the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office “every week for seven-and-a-half years, from the time I moved here in 2010, until 2017.”

During that entire time, he got no response, until Shapiro — the current attorney general and governor-elect of Pennsylvania — entered office.

[…]

“[Shapiro] offered Ray Kemble and myself to go to Harrisburg back on May 4, 2017, to present our case to the Environmental Crimes Division, which we did. They gave us three hours that turned into five.

“Those five hours turned into the largest investigation of environmental crimes in the history of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. And that turned into, I believe, six grand juries. We know of three or four already, but there might be another couple more. One of the grand jury presentations was about Cabot Oil & Gas harming and destroying the water of the people in Dimock.”

[…]

Dimock’s water contaminated with methane, bacteria, radium

Pennsylvania American Water, the firm that will develop a new “public groundwater system” as part of the plea agreement reached with Coterra Energy, previously was involved in Pennsylvania’s abandoned efforts to connect Dimock residents to an existing municipal water system from a nearby town, approximately six miles away.

[…]

This changed, however, when a new governor took office in Pennsylvania in 2011, Republican Tom Corbett.

“When he was sworn in, he basically told the DEP [Department of Environmental Protection] secretary that if you build it [the water pipeline], he would tear it out. He wasn’t kidding. They knew he wasn’t kidding.

“By Nov. 30, 2011, he had the water deliveries stopped, even though the groundwater was still bad. As governor, he ordered the DEP to stop delivering water or having Cabot deliver water.”

The solution later proposed by Cabot and state prosecutors was far different — and less expensive. Cabot agreed to pay residents $4.1 million to install individual water treatment systems in each affected home, as part of a settlement between the state and Cabot.

The settlement, however, was “struck without residents’ input or consent” and “infuriated those who had made it clear they did not trust Cabot with their water,” even though “many residents took the money — and the treatment systems.”

According to many residents who accepted this deal, the systems never worked properly, forcing them to go back to purchasing water or having it delivered to their homes as before. As a result, they rejected a December 2021 proposal by the attorney general’s office that the company pay for replacement treatment systems.

Highlighting the lack of functionality of the treatment systems, water tests showed high levels of methane, an explosive gas that can cause asphyxiation. Bacteria were found in the water in other homes, with an expert biochemist reporting that the natural gas created conditions where bacteria “could survive and proliferate.”

In addition to methane and bacterial contamination, Stevens says that the gas — and therefore the groundwater — in the Dimock area also contains radon.

[…]

‘This stuff is poison,’ but federal environmental agencies took no action

In the midst of all of the above, federal agencies came to the region, but did not acknowledge that there was any problem or any dangerous threat to public health or local residents.

“We got the ATSDR [Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry] and the EPA [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency] involved,” Stevens said. “We got them to come in. Barack Obama’s EPA came in. They spent six months living in Dimock, and they tested 63 private water wells. And every month, they declared there was no problem … they kept saying ‘oh, the water is great.’

French study looks at potential for fully covid jabbed to “shed” byproducts onto others

Dr Eddy Betterman

New research published in the journal Infectious Diseases Research unpacks what is currently known about the “shedding” of Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines.”

Helene Banoun from the Independent Scientific Council in France addresses the excretion of messenger RNA (mRNA) and spike proteins from the jabs, which we know do not remain at the site of injection as was initially claimed. Not only do they circulate throughout the body of the recipient, but they also shed onto others, it would seem.

“The mRNA vaccines correspond exactly to the definition of gene therapy of the American and European regulatory agencies,” Banoun writes. “The regulations require excretion studies of these drugs and their products (the translated proteins). These studies have not been done for mRNA vaccines (nor for adenovirus vaccines).”

“There are numerous reports of symptoms and pathologies identical to the adverse effects of mRNA vaccines in unvaccinated persons in contact with freshly vaccinated persons. It is therefore important to review the state of knowledge on the possible excretion of vaccine nanoparticles as well as mRNA and its product, the spike protein.” (Related: Check out this interview with Dr. Christian Northrup who talks about covid jab spike protein “shedding.”)

The law requires investigation into the secretion of gene therapy, so why was it never done?

Banoun further explains how animal studies show that mRNA-carrying lipid nanoparticles circulate throughout the body and lodge their way into the bloodstream. The jab vial contents have also been found to excrete in bodily fluids such as sweat, sputum and breast milk, as well as through the transplacental barrier.

“These EVs are also able to penetrate by inhalation and through the skin (healthy or injured) as well as orally through breast milk (and why not during sexual intercourse through semen, as this has not been studied),” Banoun adds.

“It is urgent to enforce the legislation on gene therapy that applies to mRNA vaccines and to carry out studies on this subject while the generalization of mRNA vaccines is being considered.”

Banoun does clarify in her paper that “vaccine shedding” refers to the potential for jab chemicals to excrete and pass on to others after a person has been “freshly vaccinated,” the implication being that the shedding window might be relatively small.

Since no full-scale studies have been conducted, though, there is really no way to know just how long a fully jabbed person can shed after the needle has left the arm, hence why she and others are now looking into it.

“… this is valid only for live attenuated virus vaccines (measles / mumps / rubella [MMR], chickenpox, rotavirus, nasal spray influenza),” she writes.

“No COVID-19 vaccine uses this formula. Therefore, there is no risk that a vaccine recipient will transmit a vaccine virus. However, mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines are the first to be used commercially in humans on a global scale and no studies have been conducted regarding the possible excretion of the vaccine itself (lipid nanoparticles containing mRNA) of the vaccine mRNA or of the vaccine product, the spike protein translated by the cells of the vaccinee.”

Banoun says that upon first hearing about the possibility of covid jab shedding, she was skeptical. However, upon investigation, she discovered that there have been verifiable cases in which nanoparticles and other jab substances have transmitted from the jabbed to the non-jabbed.

“There are many testimonies of non-vaccinated persons who experienced symptoms identical to the adverse effects of the vaccine after having been in contact with freshly vaccinated persons,” she concludes.

New Zealand Health Authorities Try to Medically Kidnap Four-month Old Needing Surgery Because Parents Want Unvaccinated Blood

 

by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

Health Authorities in New Zealand are trying to take custody of a 4-month-old baby that needs heart surgery, because the parents don’t want the baby to receive blood from someone who has been vaccinated against COVID-19.

According to an interview with the parents, the parents are not refusing medical treatment, and agree with the doctors who state that their baby needs immediate heart surgery.

They just want to donate their own blood from their own donors, and they claim they already have more than 20 pediatric donors who have been screened and could donate their blood for the needed surgery.

But doctors are refusing, because they claim the parents’ beliefs are unfounded and that vaccinated blood is perfectly safe. The corporate media in New Zealand is branding the parents as crazy anti-vaccination conspiracy theorists.

I have read two articles in the corporate news, one from The Guardian, and one from NZHerald.com, and both sources make it sound like the parents are refusing “life-saving treatment” for their baby due to their “conspiracy” beliefs.

But a former TV news reporter, Liz Gunn, who is now with FreeNZ Media, attended a meeting the parents had with health authorities and also interviewed the parents afterwards, so that the public can hear directly from the parents themselves regarding what their desires are.

They state that they want what’s best for their 4-month-old baby, and that they agree with the doctors, but simply want unvaccinated blood.

According to Liz Gunn, doctors bullied the mother and tried to get her to see a psychologist.

This is something I warned the public about a few days ago, when I reported how medical authorities are now trying to label antivaxxers as mentally insane and dangerous, and that one of the results of doing so would be to take away their children if they refused vaccines. See:

The surgeon scheduled to do the surgery on the baby allegedly said, “I will not call the blood bank” to make a request that they collect blood from unvaccinated donors

When asked why, he allegedly responded: “Because I don’t believe in what you’re saying.”

To which Liz Gunn replied: “We don’t need your belief, we just need you to listen to the parents and what they want.”

[…]

There was a court hearing today in Auckland, November 30, 2022, but it was just an “administrative” hearing to set the date for an “urgent hearing.”

Protesters showed up to demonstrate, so apparently Liz Gunn’s video is having some effects in countering the negative press of the corporate media.

I know we have readers in New Zealand, so please share this video with as many people as you can and help stand with these parents against medical tyranny.

The title of the video is appropriately titled: Freedom to Choose Clean Blood.

These kind of “blood wars” over vaccinated and unvaccinated blood are just going to get worse, as are medical kidnappings from parents who choose not to vaccinate their children.

If you are not yet familiar with the blood clot issues with those who receive COVID-19 vaccines, please see:

FreeNZ Media has also published an update on this story from the court hearing earlier today.

Abandoning Vaccine Safety Testing

Dr Mercola



 




Story at-a-glance


In recent months, two Pfizer officials have bragged about moving vaccine science forward at a speed that disallows proper scientific protocols from being followed, and the release of reformulated mRNA COVID boosters without testing is now the norm
In November 2022, recently retired head of vaccine R&D at Pfizer, Kathrin Jansen, said “we flew the aeroplane while we were still building it. We couldn’t wait for data, we had to do so much at risk.” Pfizer compressed its vaccine development timeline from 10 years to a mere nine months by simultaneously developing and testing the product in human trials
Pfizer and other COVID jab makers hid side effects by eliminating the control groups long before the studies were over
Vaccine makers are readying to release other mRNA shots, many of which are being fast-tracked and predicted to receive authorization in months rather than years. Moderna is working on a three-in-one shot for COVID, flu and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), and they seem to expect releasing it before clinical trials are finished
Pfizer quoted and relied on data from Israel when it sought approval from the FDA, and as it turns out, the Israeli government hid information about side effects. It didn’t even implement its surveillance system until a year after the shots rolled out, and when the data were analyzed, researchers concluded there were causative links between certain side effects and the jabs

In the video above, Del Bigtree with The Highwire reviews how the precautionary principle and long-standing safety guidelines in medicine have been eliminated with the COVID shots, and how data showing harms are being ignored, suppressed and manipulated to hide the truth.

In recent months, no less than two Pfizer officials have bragged about moving vaccine science forward at a speed that virtually guarantees that proper scientific protocols will be abandoned.

[…]

As noted in that interview, Pfizer compressed its vaccine development timeline from 10 years to a mere nine months. Well, you cannot do that unless you cut certain corners and develop and test the product more or less simultaneously. In this case, human trials began even though the preliminary testing was extremely minimal.

They Did Everything at Your Risk

“We got creative — we couldn’t wait for data, we had to do so much ‘at risk,’” Jansen said. There are those words again — doing everything “at risk.” In other words, the risks were not part of the equation, and let’s be clear, the risk they’re referring to is the risk a person takes when they take the shot.

Pfizer’s primary focus was to create a shot that minimized the symptoms of infection, but aside from that, there was no time to assess side effects or long-term drawbacks of the technology, such as antibody-dependent enhancement, myocarditis, or spontaneous abortions.

This is probably why Pfizer and the other COVID jab makers all decided to eliminate the control groups long before the studies were even over. This way, side effects could be hidden, and we see the effects of that decision now. 

Myocarditis, blood clots, lethal heart attacks, strokes, cancer and sudden death are all skyrocketing, but since there’s no official control group to compare with, those trends are written off as either normal or coincidental. You’ve probably seen that heart attacks are now blamed on everything from hot weather and cold showers to soil microbes in your garden, climate change and loud noises.

Other mRNA Approvals Expected With Little or No Data

For example, Moderna is working on a three-in-one shot for COVID, flu and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), and they seem to fully expect releasing it before clinical trials are finished. As reported by CBC News:4

In addition to fast-tracking mRNA injections for a variety of respiratory viruses, vaccine makers are also loading their pipelines with mRNA shots for diseases such as cancer, multiple sclerosis (MS), birth defects and rarer diseases.

Curiously, while mRNA shots are being hailed as the new and improved answer for every ill, Moderna president Stephen Hoge and chief technical officer Juan Andres cashed out hundreds of millions of their stock options earlier this year,5 which seems odd if everything is going well and no future trouble is expected.

Government and Corporate Interests Have Become One

Aiding and abetting the circumvention of the precautionary principle are contract research firms that run medical research trials for drug companies and federal agencies alike, thereby giving the drug companies the inside track on drug approvals.6,7

As noted by investigative journalist Paul Thacker, the COVID pandemic has erased the boundaries between corporate interests and those of our government, and with that, there are few left to trust.work with the National Institutes of Health to determine how companies run some drug trials; Pfizer hired a CRO to run their COVID-19 vaccine trial; a CRO calmed fears about the safety of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine after the FDA and NIH

[…]

Making an already dangerous situation worse, vaccine companies and governments are working overtime to hide and suppress data showing the COVID jabs are a medical disaster, and have hidden unfavorable data from the very beginning. The basic data gathering has also been shockingly lax across the world, considering the stakes.

As noted by MIT professor Retsef Levi in The Epoch Times interview above,9,10 Pfizer quoted and relied on data from Israel when it sought approval from the FDA, and as it turns out, the Israeli government hid information about side effects.

Even more surprising, Levi claims the Israeli government lied when it said it had a robust system for monitoring and tracking side effects from the start. That surveillance system wasn’t launched until a year after the rollout of the shots, Levi says. A research team was eventually hired to analyze the data, and their findings were disconcerting.

Unlike what was told to the public, many of the side effects were both common and long-lasting. The Ministry of Health was advised to think in terms of “medical-legal” when communicating this to the public, as the Ministry might be held liable for telling the public side effects were rare and of short duration.

In other words, they were informed they’d grossly misinformed the public and could be held accountable for injuries. The Ministry’s solution? Fire the research team and alter the report’s data and conclusions.

In the interview, Levi explains how some of the data manipulation was done. For example, they massively lowered the number of post-jab menstrual irregularities by counting both women and men. You don’t need to be a scientist to realize that by counting men, who cannot menstruate, you end up with a wild misrepresentation of the incidence of menstrual irregularities.

[…]

Most egregious of all, the Ministry hid the fact that the research team found clear evidence of causality, as patients, when rechallenged with another dose, would experience a resurgence of symptoms and/or a worsening of symptoms. Adding insult to injury, even though the Ministry knows exactly who these patients are, they have not reached out to help them medically or compensate them for injuries that have been clearly linked to the shots.

New Zealand Booster Campaign Linked to Excess Deaths

Similarly, an earlier study13,14,15 published June 28, 2022, found that, in New Zealand, the age groups that were most likely to have received a COVID booster in the winter of 2021 had 7% to 10% more excess deaths than age groups that were ineligible for boosters.
