I think the lives are collateral damage. RFK Jr spouts all his BS about being anti vax bc of "big pharma" corruption.

Yet he had dinner with the CEO of Pfizer right before he was confirmed by the Senate. https://fortune.com/well/2025/02/04/pfizer-ceo-had-dinner-with-rfk-jr-cautiously-optimistic-despite-vaccine-controversy/

There is a very long convoluted story behind all of this going back to the COVID lab leak theory and the director of the CDC at the time Robert Redfield. That will be the focus of my next blog post, but he's been all over the news recently pushing the lab leak theory. Coincidentally he was also one of the two individuals that wrote the Heritage Foundation's praise of Trump's EO attacking vaccine research. https://www.heritage.org/public-health/commentary/president-trump-should-reinstate-president-obamas-moratorium-risky

It just so happened that article came out on Feb 13. Feb 14th, the HHS under RFK announces they are granting a Pharmaceutical company, Zoetis, a provisional patent for a bird flu vaccine. Zoetis is a spin off of Pfizer but allegedly fully independent.

Then on the 25th Pfizer and Zoetis shareholds suddenly peak in a very similar pattern, while Moderna shares take a tumble overnight (I cover all of this with images of the sock market trends in my blue sky post I linked in this post).

The morning of the 26th, HHS says they're considering pulling funds granted by Biden to Moderna for an mRNA bird flu vaccine. That same day senator Roger Marshall re-proposes a senate bill that would effectively end all public funding for vaccine research, making it completely privatized.

Meanwhile it turns out Pfizer and Moderna have been in a legal battle for mRNA vaccine patent rights in the U.S. and Germany. Then today the NIH starts telling researchers they can't include any mRNA references in federal grant submissions

So, the sicker and more desperate people are when a bird flu pandemic finally hits, the more they will be in complete control of a vaccine roll out. It will be completely private so they can charge as much as they want and make up whatever rules they want, and if we want vaccines we better play by their rules or tough shit.

Trump gets to make all the money he didn't get to make during COVID because of all that pesky NIH publicly funded science that made mRNA vaccine technology possible.

It's a win win for everyone involved in his administration and the giant pharmaceutical companies RFK allegedly despises.

😂 yeah I agree. I don't use bluesky very often so I wasn't sure what to call them. but I agree I really don't like the term skeet

I don't really use blue sky but here is my attempt to make a series of skeets(?) explaining exactly how they could be making a lot of money off of this https://bsky.app/profile/pimentomori123.bsky.social/post/3lkoogcqvo22o

Just hoping somebody points this out before we're in the thick of a bird flu pandemic

Hmm wonder what possibly could be motivating an attack against mRNA vaccine technology.

All references to mRNA vaccines should be scrubbed from future grant applications... As in no federal funding for mRNA vaccines. Which would leave only privately funded research with no public input or oversight/transparency.

It's every major platform. Even Substack is just so ridiculous at this point. Idk if it's even necessarily Russians, but just the ability of wealthy people to buy algorithm control and push an agenda.

I tried to use Substack for a min but just kept getting frustrated with the inability to sort feed content of any accounts unless you follow them already. Like something would happen and I would want to discuss it with a large group of people and learn information while it's still relevant, but there's no way to do that.

For some reason I kept seeing the same messaging over and over pushed on my feed trying to convince me that Pete Buttigeg is somehow the same as AOC or Bernie Sanders (which logic should tell you wtf no he's not) then yesterday I see the same account announcing he's gearing up to run for 2028 and suddenly it all made sense. Typical establishment bullshit but modernized for the Broligarchy takeover.

Paying for social media algorithm control like advertising so that what people get to experience is nothing social, just media pushing a wealthy agenda but tweaked to their individual feed.

I think Russian propaganda has always been there it's just been tweaked over the years to match the audience. Reddit has exiled anyone that doesn't support Musk, so by default the audience is mainly far-right. And it has definitely gotten out of hand to such an extreme that most of reddit is just dead internet. Bot posts filled with one liner bot comments that rarely actually engage in a discussion about anything.

I just assume any content that pushes extreme divisiveness on issues and refuses to acknowledge any sort of logic or gray area is probably due to Russian bot swarms on most major platforms.

Before I left reddit for the final time, if there was a message that was clearly being suppressed, any attempts to talk about it would be met with the most irrational wall of resistance.

Like I tried to post on a sub for federal workers back in late Jan telling people they should be refusing illegal orders being given to them. It started to get some traction, and then suddenly it was just like a swarm of very irrationally angry comments and downvotes. Like a thread could be almost completely dead, with no activity in the last several hours and I would make a comment like that and get one or two upvotes and then suddenly within a minute it would be sitting at -15 downvotes.

Idk if a community already exists for this but I feel like we need a way to teach people how to spot bot activity the same way we teach people how to spot disinformation.

She's got a work on her sales pitch. "Probably one of the greatest... Oh it's not for you, it's more of a Shelbyville idea..."

Not sure if he has already said anything about the Fauci pardon, but almost certainly will be making the argument against him too.

I wrote about it a little in the post I made and plan to update with more information in a longer follow up post.

So Biden's pardon to Fauci is backdated to 2014, the year the NIH issued pause on funding for gain of function (GOF) research. The pause was only meant to apply to research that increased the contagion or virulence of a pathogen with enhanced pandemic potential (ePPP).

From the time the notice was issued, many scientists were worried about the use of the term GOF because most virology and vaccine research involves what is by definition GOF research. Any modification of genetic material during an experiment could meet the definition of GOF. Whether it is traditional vaccine research where genetic alteration is used to increase yields for vaccine strains or even steps of genetic modification for mRNA vaccines which don't require an inactive or weak pathogen to create a vaccine.

Anyway, this past summer during House Oversight COVID-19 Select Subcommitee Hearings into the NIH funding for the EcoHealth Alliance collaboration with Wuhan Institute of Virology, the subcommitee asked the deputy director of the NIH this question:

Rep Lesko: “Dr. Tabak, did NIH fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through EcoHealth?” Dr. Tabak: “It depends on your definition of gain-of-function research. If you’re speaking about the generic term, yes, we did…the generic term is research that goes on in many, many labs around the country. It is not regulated. And the reason it’s not regulated is it poses no threat or harm to anybody.” https://oversight.house.gov/release/hearing-wrap-up-nih-repeatedly-refutes-ecohealth-alliance-president-dr-peter-daszaks-testimony-tabak-testimony-reveals-federal-grant-procedures-in-need-of-serious-reform/

The Subcommitee claims this contradicts previous testimony given by Anthony Fauci. It seems pretty clear Fauci was referring to GOF as it was used in the 2014 NIH pause and Tabak was using it regarding the broad definition. However, the conclusion of many is that Fauci willingly misled the American public when he said the NIH does not support GOF research.

Biden has never acknowledged this is what the pardon was about, but it would be quite the coincidence if the 2014 backdate had nothing to do with this.

And of course the Heritage Foundation has jumped on to the we need to end dangerous GOF funding train https://www.heritage.org/public-health/commentary/president-trump-should-reinstate-president-obamas-moratorium-risky

Out of a concern for public safety of course.

Thank you!

You're absolutely right. Sorry about that. Just updated it.

Sorry about that not sure why it didn't attach. I just updated it

Thank you! Like I said I'm still figuring things out. The instance I joined says you can't post images until 40 days after joining. Is there an alternative way to do that?
