Just take the 500ng Pfizer sample
If you assume the medium fragment size is 200bp.

How many DNA molecules per dose?
Green is after RNAseA removes the RNA.
So 500ng for one Pfizer lot and 1500ng for Moderna(right).

That’s high for Moderna. They are usually cleaner. Image
NEB DNA calculator-
500ng at 200bp

2.4 Trillion DNA molecules per dose wrapped in LNPs. Image

This is flat out evil.

Is it a Gene Therapy?
They certainly used plasmids from their Gene Therapy Division.

The low wattage take that any attention given to GOF steals attention from ‘my pet thesis’, is two logical fallacies in one.
False dichotomy and a zero sum fallacy.
It is possible to be concerned about both GOF and lockdown tyranny at the same time.
Like chewing gum and walking.
There are usually 2 reasons such nonsense gets blathered about.

1)someone doesn’t want you to look at GOF.

2)marketing of substacks requires one differentiate from what’s currently capturing attention and appear divergent.
The reasons given NOT to look at GOF are rooted in denialism and molecular biology fairy tales.
‘RNA viruses can’t spread because <insert pseudo profound bullshit like quasi species swarm>’

When you show them evidence of measles and influenza having a higher mutation rate…

The latest scoobie snack is that RNA viruses mutate too quickly to ever spread… therefore GOF is all kabuki theatre.

This is clearly refuted by the sequencing data but let’s assume the argument stands…
Are these folks unaware of synthetic genomic projects making DNA viruses?
Epstein-Barr is a dsDNA herpes virus in 90% of the population. Clearly it can spread and it’s only 172kb.
Well under the size of the mycoplasma genome synthesized in 2008.

These don’t have the mutation rate of RNA and clearly reached 90% of the population.
They also can integrate and reactivate at a later date.
They cause mono so they are clearly ‘risk additive’

Would you trust Hotez or Daszak to be messing with these?

Posting again to remind folks that spike protein can drive mitophagy.

Now that we know the modRNAs are prone to frameshifting and there is a Mito peptide after the Pfizer stop codons, it wouldn’t surprise me if vaxxed patients have lower extracellular Mito.

A chimeric spike-Mito peptide would turn the immune system against extracellular Mito.
