1/ I am UNDER FIRE since I have written a post on the flawed peer-review process of @c_drosten's PCR paper. I will discuss some accusations in this thread and explain why the pure peer-review process window was even shorter than 2 days.

Yesterday's tweet:
Image
2/ First of all, I want to state that it was not my intention to set off an avalanche. I simply could not believe my eyes when I saw how quickly @c_drosten's publication got peer-reviewed and published. As a scientist, it is my right and duty to address this and raise questions. Image
3/ Right after the thread went viral, I was warned by several people that I needed to be prepared for "Drosten's army" to attack me. Something I could not have imagined, as I have never received any shitstorm on the internet before.
4/ I am aware that it is quite hard to describe complex issues with only 280 characters, making misunderstandings and conflicts virtually inevitable. Over time, the perceived personal view or conviction might also change due to the latest state of knowledge or varying contexts.
5/ The sad fact is that none of these attackers is actually dealing with what I have written. The lawyer and former judge @drpeternagel, for instance, is already trying to discredit me since last night, reading back my tweets from several months ago.
6/ Yes, Peter. I am a supporter of vitamin D. I even publish about it. The paper might contain mistakes, but I have written it to the best of my knowledge AND it actually got peer-reviewed, which required contentual corrections. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
7/ Even if you do not agree with my view on vitamin D, @drpeternagel, I am open for fruitful discussions and exchange of knowledge. Starting a "public message" with ad hominem attacks ("self-exposer", etc.) is counterproductive and reflects low-tier communication standards.
8/ I do not even consider my view on vitamin D being biased as I helped to debunk a big scientific fraud in this field (and in favour of D3), which even involved collaborations with governmental authorities in South-East Asia. researchveracity.info/alra/
9/ Other attackers such as @MackayIM (who is linked to @c_drosten btw.) address @SpringerNature directly and demand my withdrawal as an editor in the field of aquaponics, as I am "hardly a specialist in virology".
10/ However, I did not address the topic of virology in my thread but gave insights in the peer-review process. And here, I have to admit that my statement was not very accurate. The actual window for the peer-review process was 3.5-27.5 hours, which I will elaborate below.
11/ Everything goes back to a document of the WHO, which was created (!!!) the day the Corman-Drosten paper was submitted to @Eurosurveillanc. The meta-data shows that it was created on the 21st of January 2020 at 8:30pm CET (Central European Time).
Image
Image
12/ Via the @waybackmachine everybody can download the first version of the paper that got published on the @Eurosurveillanc server. This paper cites the WHO document above (marked in green) Image
13/ The Drosten paper was officially submitted on 21/01/2020, accepted on 22/01/2020, and published on 23/01/2020. This means that, given the timestamp of the WHO paper, there is only a 3.5h theoretical time-window that the paper could have been submitted on 21/01/2020. Image
14/ As stated in my yesterday's thread, the peer-review process requires quite some time (due to iterations etc.). Given the official data we got, we can retrace how much.
15/ So the earliest moment, the paper could have been peer-reviewed and accepted is on 22/01/20 at midnight and the latest at 22/01/20 at 11:59pm (CET). The whole peer-review process thus had a time window of 3:30h-27:30h. Image
16/ The paper then got published on 23/01/20 at 4:45pm (CET), so the typesetter did an amazing job. Image
17/ Again, this is just my humble analysis of this process that I am willing to share, and I am also willing to discuss my findings critically.
18/ Theoretically speaking, the reference to the WHO document could have been modified during the typesetter's "query process", expanding the time-window by some hours.
19/ Nonetheless, the observed and reconstructed peer-review process shows - to put it mildly - considerable irregularities. Every peer-review process leads to anonymous review reports. I would be very interested to see what they state @Eurosurveillanc.
20/ And even a possible "extraordinary importance" (which was not a factor back in January 2020) is no reason to rush through the process that quickly. The publication could also have been made available as a pre-print document while undergoing a thorough peer-review process.
21/ All things considered, transparency is required in this critical case. And again: it is discourteous to shoot the messenger when criticism would be better addressed to the parties involved in these obvious irregularities. Image
This gentleman, for instance, provides excellent examples for destructive criticism (i.e. ad hominem only!).

Hallo @deVSNU - ik hoor graag wat jullie van deze thread vinden (vooral ivm Mevr. Koopmans). Alle 5 principes (Eerlijkheid, Zorgvuldigheid, Transparantie, Onafhankelijkheid en Verantwoordelijkheid) werden geschonden. Graag DM naar mij.
@pjvanerp @deVSNU En 2 keer “accept” is best zeldzaam. Nog nooit (!!!) meegemaakt. Het argument dat de paper “perfect” is geldt ook niet. Drosten heeft later toegegeven dat zijn eigen paper gebrekkig is en "replaced" moet worden.

In his new propaganda piece, @hiltzikm whines that the pharma shill and dentist denier @PeterHotez, who compared the unvaccinated to terrorists, is facing well-deserved criticism. It’s outrageous that the @latimes published this shameful article.

A THREAD 🧵 ⬇️ Image
#2 "It is not surprising that @hiltzikm defends Hotez, as he has incited hatred against the unvaccinated in a Goebbels-like manner.

In his opinion piece (), he said that 'those who have deliberately flouted sober medical advice by refusing a vaccine known to reduce the risk of serious disease from the virus, including the risk to others, and end up in the hospital or the grave can be viewed as receiving their just deserts.'

I find his attitude unworthy of a Pulitzer Prize winner, especially since current data shows that those who have not been vaccinated or were skeptical from the beginning were ultimately proven right.

The 'vaccines' never prevented severe illness, hospitalization, or death. On the contrary, the more often people are 'vaccinated,' the higher the probability of an early demise.

This once again shows that journalism has failed and that a dialogue on equal footing is essential for a functioning democracy.

People like him, on the other hand, are the personification of the danger to peaceful coexistence. We - those who have been discriminated against by him and his peers for three years - will never forget what they have done to us in the name of 'science.' No amnesty!"bit.ly/3nuR5etImage
@hiltzikm #3 The real question is why the @latimes is behaving like ‘Der Stürmer,’ giving a platform to such misanthropes and agitators, and even defending a proven liar like Hotez. This video is undeniable proof that he is not speaking the truth.

🧵THREAD: Today I am going to red-pill you about dangerous vegetable oils, which are found in almost all processed foods. Consequently, this is likely the most important thread you will read this week. Contrary to popular belief, the term 'vegetable oils' is misleading. These oils are called 'vegetable' not because they come from vegetables in the traditional sense, but because they are derived from plant sources. This includes seeds such as cottonseeds, soybeans, and sunflower seeds.

These oils need to be heavily refined to remove various toxins and natural impurities, which can be harmful or affect the taste and stability of the oil. The refining process also extends the shelf life of these oils.

However, this refining process creates trans fats, a type of unsaturated fat that is detrimental to our health, especially when consumed in large amounts.

Trans fats, along with a high omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio found in these oils, disrupt our body's metabolic processes. They contribute to inflammation and imbalance cytokine production, which are crucial in our body's immune response and healing processes.

Long-term consumption of these fats is linked to various health hazards, including an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions.

To provide a comparison, I've included olive oil in the graphic. Unlike these refined oils, olive oil, especially extra virgin olive oil, is less processed and contains healthy fats. It has a more balanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio and doesn't contain trans fats, making it a much better choice for your health.

In the posts below, I will delve into the history of vegetable oils and explain the mechanisms that make these seed oils extremely harmful.Image
#2 Did you know that vegetable oils such as soybean, sunflower, and corn oil are commonly used in cooking and processed foods? These oils are high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). While omega-6 fats are necessary for our health, having too much of them, especially from processed vegetable oils, is problematic, to say the least.

When vegetable oils are processed and heated, such as during cooking or manufacturing, it initiates a process called lipid peroxidation. This is where the fats in the oils react with oxygen, similar to how iron rusts when exposed to air and moisture. In the case of these oils, lipid peroxidation leads to the creation of several harmful byproducts, including a particularly nasty compound called 4-HNE.

4-HNE is a major issue because it's highly reactive. It can easily interact with various parts of our cells, like proteins, DNA, and other fats, causing them to malfunction. Over time, this damage significantly contributes to a range of diseases, such as heart disease, certain types of cancer, diabetes, and even brain-related diseases like Alzheimer's.

So, the bottom line is that the processing of vegetable oils leads to increased lipid peroxidation, resulting in higher levels of harmful compounds like 4-HNE in our bodies. That's why you should avoid vegetable oils at all costs. In the attached video clip, @TuckerGoodrich explains why the consumption of vegetable oils can lead to weight gain and severely impact your health.
#3 The prevalence of vegetable oils in processed foods is staggering due to their cost-effectiveness. But how often do you take a moment to read the small print on the back of a product? Here's a simple rule: whenever you spot "vegetable oil" in the ingredients, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.

💡 Now, let's delve into the history of why vegetable oils became so prevalent a century ago. Back in 1900, an entirely different story was unfolding across the ocean. The German army was actively seeking a synthetic lubricant for diesel engines used in submarines. In 1902, the German chemist Wilhelm Normann achieved a groundbreaking milestone by successfully solidifying vegetable oils. At the same time, the United States was grappling with a surplus of cotton production, leading to a dilemma on how to utilize the waste streams, especially the seeds. Instead of discarding them, someone had the brilliant idea to extract oil from these seeds. However, there was a significant hurdle to overcome – the presence of a toxin called gossypol within the cotton seeds.

🔥 To rid the oil of toxins like gossypol found in cotton seeds, a refining process involving high heat, chemicals, and immense pressure was employed. Yet, this process had its own set of problems. Exposure to high heat during refining made the oil prone to oxidation, leading to the accumulation of free radicals, which harm cells and contribute to illness and aging, as explained in a previous post.

🕰️ Around 1920, this product was transformed into something you might recognize today as 'Crisco,' an abbreviation for Crystalized Cottonseed Oil. But eventually, soybean oil emerged as a cheaper alternative. Remember, in the world of business, profits often take precedence over people's health.

SUNDAY NIGHT COVID TRIVIA: Who Said It?

WITHOUT CHEATING, try to match the following 25 misanthropic quotes to their respective authors.

You can find the answers in the second last tweet from below. Then post how many you got right (e.g. 13/25).

⬇️⬇️⬇️Image
1. “For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death.”
2. “The vaccines that saved us from COVID are now being used to help beat Cancer.”

I always knew that @piersmorgan wasn’t the brightest star in the sky, but I didn’t expect him to be so braindead as to get an AstraZeneca booster in April ’24 and still mock vaccine critics. Time to expose that beta cuck.

🧵THREAD ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Image
#2 When you scroll through Piers’ timeline over the last 3 years, you find nothing but hatred and scorn for critics of the plandemic. Occasionally, he has claimed to regret his tweets, but I don’t believe him. In this thread, you’ll find a best of his discriminations here on @X. Image
@X #3 How mentally deranged must one be to post such an incoherent tweet? He’d probably volunteer to get chipped too. Image

🇧🇷 For this tweet alone, @oatila should be sued into personal bankruptcy. This Brazilian influencer has not only promoted vaccines for four years and spread lies about Ivermectin and Vitamin D, but he even received money from Pfizer for it.

To my Brazilian followers: are you aware of any lawsuit against this corrupt scientist, or must I take it upon myself?Image
@oatila This is just one example of @oatila's content. This Instagram post, in which he falsely claims that the mRNA only stays in the muscle and that our body gets rid of the mRNA within a few days, was sponsored by Pfizer.
Image
@oatila In this post, also sponsored by Pfizer, @oatila claims that there are side effects in only 1 out of 1 million people & that anyone who says otherwise is spreading fake news. In fact, these vaccines have increased excess mortality & cancer rates worldwide, likely killing millions.

🧵THREAD: Let's start the day with something positive: it's not the mRNA vaccines that cause increasing cancer and heart attack rates.

Thanks to our dedicated investigative mainstream media journalists, the reasons for them have finally been revealed.

Here are my TOP 20. 🍿⬇️Image
#1 DRUGS – The German newspaper @bzberlin is onto something very hot. The reason for the more than doubled heart problems among young Berliners is drug use, even though it has been continuously declining since the year 2000.Image
#2 GARDENING – The British BBC journalist and former health reporter for @TheSun, @terria_williams, reported that gardening increases the risk of a 'killer heart disease'. With this trash article, she probably recommended herself for the BBC.Image
