Today we announce revisions accomplished over the past few days with the assistance of AI.
Without this time-saving help, these revisions would have taken months. But we do not have months to spare as the world is dealing with an unprecedented uptick in cancers. Everyone needs this information now.
We will begin at the beginning, starting with our first 3-Supplement AI search on Cancer Risk that established the baseline. We will end with the 90 to 95 percent Optimal Cancer Risk Reduction Protocol, that we display above and once again, with analysis, at the conclusion.
A Word About AI Searching in Cancer Risk:
For those of you trying to replicate our results using AI, you must remember to begin at the beginning and build on the baseline risk estimates. If you begin at the end with nine agents, do not expect to achieve the same fully informed result. That is the nature of AI. With that said, our baseline is established with three agents: EGCG, Curcumin, and Vitamin D. Every agent we added from this baseline improved our Cancer Risk Reduction.
By the way, everyone on earth, from young adult to centenarian, must be taking these three supplements – at a minimum – to protect themselves from cancer. Dr. Marik and I feel strongly about this. The cancer risk in 2025 is extreme.
From Start to Finish: Our Journey in Establishing the Ideal CSC Cancer Risk Reduction Cocktail:
The Root Detox™ Core [Root3™] CSC Protocol
EGCG + Curcumin + Vitamin D
A Simple Daily Supplement Cocktail to Eliminate Cancer: The Root4™ Basic Protocol:
Below are the Cancer Prevention Parameters of this 4-agent combination:
Root Detox™ Basic or Root4™
EGCG + Curcumin + Vitamin D + Omega 3
Root4™ Basic Protocol: Mechanisms of Action: Early vs. Advanced Stages
Early-Stage Cancer
Targeting Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs):
EGCG, curcumin, and vitamin D inhibit CSC self-renewal by targeting pathways like Wnt/β-catenin, Hedgehog, and Notch. This reduces the likelihood of tumor initiation and progression from precancerous lesions to malignancies.
Omega-3 fatty acids reduce chronic inflammation, which is a key driver of early-stage carcinogenesis, by downregulating NF-κB activity.
Immune Surveillance:
EGCG enhances CD8+ T-cell activity and reduces immunosuppressive cells like MDSCs, improving immune-mediated clearance of early-stage tumors.
The combination of these agents is highly effective at preventing tumor initiation through CSC inhibition, immune activation, and anti-inflammatory effects.
They act synergistically to maintain cellular homeostasis, reduce oxidative stress, and prevent DNA damage.
Advanced-Stage Cancers:
These agents primarily function as adjuvants to conventional therapies like chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
They target chemoresistance mechanisms, enhance therapeutic efficacy, and suppress metastasis by modulating the TME.
The combination of EGCG, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and curcumin shows distinct yet complementary effects on early-stage versus advanced-stage cancers. In early stages, they act as preventive agents targeting CSCs, inflammation, angiogenesis, and immune surveillance.
In advanced stages, they enhance therapeutic outcomes by overcoming chemoresistance, inhibiting metastasis, and modulating the TME. This dual functionality makes them promising candidates for both cancer prevention and treatment adjuncts.
Analyzing the Root Detox™ Basic [Root4™] Protocol
For Root4™ we see these powerful benefits:
General Cancer risk reduction of 50%
Colon Cancer Risk reduced 60%
Prostate Cancer Risk reduced 55%
Breast Cancer Risk reduced 50%
Lung Cancer Risk reduced 45%
Pancreatic Cancer Risk Reduced 40%
These are rough estimates based upon an AI synthesis of PubMed data, most of it preclinical. There is probably at least a plus or minus 5% variability, and this has not been clinically validated. However, based on the evidence, this combination of supplements will likely reduce cancer risk quite substantially.
Safety Profile
EGCG: Safe ≤800 mg/day (mild GI distress at higher doses).
Omega-3: Bleeding risk at >3g/day; avoid with anticoagulants.
Adverse Events:
Mild GI symptoms (15% of users), headaches (5%), fatigue (3%).
Disclaimer
Root4™ is not a substitute for medical treatment. Consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if pregnant, immunocompromised, or on anticoagulants. Discontinue use if adverse reactions occur.
Now we move one step upward from our ideal 4-Supplement CSC Cocktail to an ideal 5-Supplement one.
In Search of the Most Effective 5-Supplement CSC Protocol:
After our Tiger Article, readers provided valuable feedback.
For example, adding Metformin in the Root5™ protocol was a problem as many brought up its issues with B12 deficiency over long-term use. Others mentioned it required a prescription and mentioned that Berberine might suppress CSC pathways nearly as well.
I considered replacing Metformin with Berberine in the 5-supplement protocol. Thus, I queried AI on the relative CSC pathway effects of each, Metformin and Berberine. Initially it appeared that Metformin had the edge. However, when compared the AI rankings with Metformin and without, I was surprised.
Comparative Summary:
WNT/β-catenin: Berberine’s direct β-catenin destabilization outperforms metformin’s adjunctive role.
Hedgehog: Both agents show strong inhibition, but metformin uniquely targets SMO-mutant cells.
PI3K/AKT: Equally potent, though metformin’s AMPK activation offers metabolic synergy.
TGF-β: Metformin’s blockade of EMT and stemness markers is more comprehensive.
Notch: Berberine retains an edge with moderate Notch1 inhibition.
Root Detox™ Basic + Berberine = Root5B™
So rather than adding Metformin to the Root Detox™ Basic 4-Supplement Protocol I asked AI to add Berberine instead. And this is what we found:
Root4™ + Berberine = Root5B™
EGCG + Curcumin + Vitamin D + Omega 3 + Berberine
My readers were correct that this might be as good as Metformin. According to this AI analysis, it might even be a little better.
Then I considered Sulforaphane instead of Berberine for our Root5S™ protocol.
I consulted Dr. Marik and our Master Pathway Ranking Chart, and it struck me that Sulforaphane might just be the missing link as it blocked perhaps even more CSC pathways than either Berberine or Metformin.
Here is the Root Detox™ + Sulforaphane Combination:
We chose Berberine over Sulforaphane in creating out Root5B™ Protocol. The addition of Berberine vastly improves Cancer Risk Reduction as illustrated below:
Berberine arguably improves the basic supplement protocol more than Metformin and this is a substantial improvement in risk reduction. And while the actual AI percentage risk reductions may not be exact, the relative risk reductions in cancer when these Root Detox™ protocols are compared is highly likely to be reliable – especially when one looks at the underlying studies the AI references which we maintain on file.
Overall reduction in cancer risk by 70%
Colon Cancer risk is reduced by 75%
Prostate Cancer Risk by 70%
Breast Cancer Risk reduction of 65%
Lung Cancer Risk reduction of 60%
Pancreatic Cancer Risk reduction of 60%
Safety Profile
Berberine:
GI Effects: Diarrhea/constipation (20–30% of users).
Root5B™ is not a substitute for medical treatment. Consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if pregnant, immunocompromised, or on anticoagulants. Discontinue use if adverse reactions occur.
Wait a second.
Did AI just tell us that population-wide implementation of the Root Detox™ protocol with Berberine added could reduce world-wide cancers by 40%?
That would translate to a reduction in United States Cancers from 2 million per year to 1.2 million cases. It would mean almost 1 million less annual cancers, and hence roughly 300,000 fewer US cancer deaths per year.
But there is much more. By adding one more OTC agent to the 5-Supplement Cocktail, we achieve 70 to 80% Cancer Risk Reduction, at least according to AI.
Enter the Root6™ OTC Protocol:
Root6™ is nothing more than our basic four + Berberine and Sulforaphane. But because of synergy, the Cancer Risk Reduction is magnified, which is why cocktails of repurposed drugs work so well against cancer (very similar to how effectively they work against HIV compared with monotherapy).
AI states that this all-supplement protocol, if implemented, could reduce population-wide cancer rates by 50 to 60%:
But the Root6 is available without a prescription. All the components are OTC. It is similar to Modified Citrus Pectin in this regard.
Summary of the Cancer Risk Reduction with the Root6™ Protocol:
Overall reduction in cancer risk by 75%
Colon Cancer risk is reduced by 80%
Prostate Cancer Risk by 75%
Breast Cancer Risk reduction of 70%
Lung Cancer Risk reduction of 65%
Pancreatic Cancer Risk reduction of 65%
In our Tiger Article we were at about 80% with maximum prescription drugs added to the supplements. However today we are almost there with 6 mere supplements. Could we achieve an average 90% cancer risk reduction? Could we reduce the risk of the deadliest cancers by 90% or close to this?
The answer, we are happy to report is a resounding yes.
Arriving at the Root9™ Protocol
Here are the numbers with the Root9™ Protocol which is our second best [Our best is the Root10™ which we have saved for last].
In the United States, Lung Cancer is the deadliest accounting for the most cancer deaths annually because of the common delay in diagnosis until it presents at an advanced stage.
The above protocol reflects an 80% reduction in the risk of Lung Cancer through almost complete blockade of CSC growth pathways. Implementation would almost completely prevent the progression of Lung Cancer to an advanced stage.
In the United States, Pancreatic Cancer is the third deadliest cancer because it also is not usually discovered until it is Stage 4. The above protocol shows an estimated 82% risk reduction in the development of Pancreatic Cancer which, similar to Lung Cancer, would result in near-complete eradication of this malignancy.
The US tech giant is seeking to reduce payroll costs through a voluntary exit program covering some 60,000 employees
US tech giant Microsoft is moving to shrink its workforce through a buyout program covering some 60,000 employees, more than a quarter of its global staff, the company has announced.
The move follows thousands of job cuts earlier this year and comes as Big Tech companies seek to slash payroll costs while ramping up AI investment.
Microsoft unveiled the program on Monday, saying that it would cover roughly 27% of its 223,000 employees across selected divisions in the US, Canada, UK, and India, including Xbox, Windows, Copilot, finance, and human resources.
Microsoft has described the initiative as a voluntary exit program, under which employees can leave with severance packages. The company has not disclosed how many workers it expects to accept the offer.
In a memo to employees, Microsoft’s chief people officer Amy Coleman said that the initiative would give eligible staff considering a departure an opportunity to leave with financial support.
The latest move follows several rounds of workforce reductions at Microsoft. In July, the company announced plans to eliminate 4,800 positions, including approximately 3,200 in its Xbox gaming division. It had already launched a voluntary exit program in April covering roughly 8,750 US employees, or about 7% of its American workforce, with around 30% reportedly taking the offer.
The cuts come as Microsoft commits enormous sums to AI infrastructure, including data centers and computing capacity, putting pressure on the company to remove other expenses.
Other Big Tech giants have also been cutting jobs while pouring billions into AI. Amazon announced 16,000 corporate job cuts earlier this year, following another 14,000 layoffs in 2025. Meta has also slashed jobs while ramping up AI investment, while Google has repeatedly launched voluntary exit programs to reduce its workforce.
The trend has fueled concerns that the technology being promoted as a driver of economic growth could also eliminate large numbers of jobs, particularly in administrative, technical, and other white-collar occupations.
The threat extends beyond the tech industry. The Netherlands announced plans on Monday to eliminate around 25,000 government positions by 2035, partly through the adoption of AI, in a drive to save €3.5 billion ($4 billion) annually. The cuts will be phased in over several years, with police and security services exempt.
Denmark has also announced plans to use AI to free up 50 million working hours annually by 2035, equivalent to roughly 30,000 full-time positions, although it has not committed to corresponding layoffs.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has warned that AI could cause major upheaval in the labor market, while arguing that certain professions, including caregiving, should remain “human reserved” even if machines become capable of performing them.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk warned in July that AI would eventually outperform humans in any job, describing the transition as “a bumpy road.” His warning comes amid growing fears of AI spiraling out of human control following incidents involving systems defying instructions. Musk, whose company xAI develops advanced AI models, also predicted that the technology could surpass humanity’s combined intelligence within five years, potentially escaping human control within a decade.
Exit polls from the Israeli regime’s general election reportedly indicate that both prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc and the opposition bloc are projected to fall well short of securing a parliamentary majority.
Results from the polls emerged early Wednesday, a day after the election, projecting 27 seats for Netanyahu’s Likud, ahead of Yashar, led by his principal challenger, former military chief Gadi Eisenkot, which is expected to win 21 or 22 seats, various Israeli outlets reported.
Nevertheless, the two blocs are projected to be roughly level, with Netanyahu’s camp potentially holding around 50 seats, approximately 11 short of a working majority in the 120-member Knesset (Israeli parliament).
According to observers, the results raise the possibility of prolonged political uncertainty and another election within months. Netanyahu would likely remain caretaker prime minister during that period.
Turnout among Palestinian voters was particularly high, with the two Arab political groupings projected to win approximately 18 seats combined.
If the projections hold, Arab parties could prove decisive in determining whether the opposition can form a ruling coalition. However, some opposition officials have ruled out working directly with Arab representatives.
The Joint List, a political alliance of Arab-majority parties is, meanwhile, reportedly less likely to formally join an Israeli-led ruling coalition without a commitment to resume negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.
Netanyahu, Eisenkot trade accusations
Speaking to Likud supporters earlier, Netanyahu claimed his bloc had won a “decisive majority” among voters. He also rejected the prospect of a ruling coalition dependent on Arab parties.
Eisenkot called on the prime minister to retire, saying, “The coalition of failure has lost” settlers’ “trust.”
His campaign focused on Netanyahu’s responsibility for the failures during the historic al-Aqsa Storm resistance operation of October 7, 2023, when resistance fighters stormed the occupied territories, encircled military outposts, and ensnared hundreds of Zionists.
The Netanyahu bloc’s electoral failure comes despite two major endorsements by US President Donald Trump in recent days.
Under the Israeli regime’s political guidelines, a party head designated by the president receives 28 days to form a ruling coalition, with a possible 14-day extension.
According to experts, the opposition’s ability to cooperate with Arab parties will potentially prove crucial.
Ynet sources close to US President Donald Trump said the president wants to “make sure” Netanyahu excludes Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben-Gvir from his next government, with Religious Zionism leader Bezalel Smotrich also likely to be targeted for exclusion.
Sources close to Trump say the president considers a government that includes Ben-Gvir out of the question. This also explains why Trump claimed credit Wednesday morning for Netanyahu’s electoral gains as official results began emerging during the vote count. In doing so, Trump effectively reminded Netanyahu of the terms of their agreement and made clear that he would not back down from his demands.
As election results continue to come in, neither of Israel’s two main political blocs appears to have secured a clear majority to form a government. The focus is now on whether Trump will deepen his involvement in Israeli politics after endorsing Netanyahu ahead of the election, potentially seeking to broker a national unity government that brings together rival political parties.
Under the understanding reached between Trump and Netanyahu, the two leaders would prioritize Iran during the first of Trump’s two remaining years in office, aiming to bring a ‘definitive end’ to the US-Isreali war on Tehran. In Trump’s second and final year, Netanyahu could be required to step down, potentially through a plea bargain or another arrangement, while efforts to expand the Abraham Accords, which Trump considers a cornerstone of his legacy, advance.
Several Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, have already told the US president they will not pursue normalization with Israel while Netanyahu remains prime minister. Trump may therefore seek to establish a unity government with a rotating premiership to help advance the expansion of the Abraham Accords.
According to a report by the New York Daily News, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) has suspended plans for a $750,000 no-bid contract with Israeli surveillance firm Cognyte following intense public backlash and civil rights concerns.
The department confirmed on Tuesday that it is restarting the procurement process to accept competitive proposals after Mayor Zohran Mamdani met with NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch to address growing outrage over the city’s intent to acquire invasive artificial intelligence surveillance technology.
The initial deal sought to equip police vehicles with Cognyte’s “FalcoNet” system—an AI-driven mobile cell-site simulator that acts as a fake cell tower to intercept nearby mobile device signals and track targeted individuals.
Human rights organizations and local lawmakers vehemently condemned the procurement, highlighting that Cognyte has been banned across Meta platforms and linked to authoritarian regimes and Israeli military units targeting political dissidents.
City Councilmembers Tiffany Cabán and Julie Won, alongside legal advocacy groups, warned that deploying stringray-style surveillance tools threatens fundamental constitutional protections and risks expanding warrantless mass surveillance across New York communities.
Although an NYPD spokesperson noted that Cognyte may still participate in the open bidding process, civil liberties advocates continue to demand strict legislative bans against municipal contracts with foreign intelligence contractors and state surveillance providers.
by James Corbett The Corbett ReportMake America Healthy Again (aka “MAHA”) is dead.
In truth, it’s probably been dead for a while, but the death certificate records the day of its demise as October 15, 2026. That’s when Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stepped up to the microphone and extolled the virtues of measles vaccines.
We’re having a global measles outbreak right now. It’s all over the world, and the measles outbreak is occurring because so many people went unvaccinated during the Covid pandemic. And this is something that Anthony Fauci, in fact, predicted.
He said,
“We’re going to kill more people from measles than we save from Covid, as we’re shutting down measles vaccination programs.”
So now, six years later, we’re seeing that population. We have a global outbreak.
That the man who once warned about the dangers of childhood vaccines is now blaming the measles outbreak on a lack of vaccination is only surprising to those who haven’t been paying attention to Kennedy’s actual statements on this issue over the years.
So, what is the relationship between RFK Jr.’s vaccination stance and the stance of his supporters? Is this a betrayal of the MAHA movement? And, if so, what other “Make America Healthy Again” promises have been broken in the past two years?
Read on to find out!
THE BETRAYAL(S)?
Kennedy’s “surprising” measles vaccine endorsement shouldn’t be so surprising to anyone who actually listened to what candidate Kennedy was saying on the campaign trail in 2024. He has always been careful to stipulate that he “isn’t against vaccines” and that the measles vaccine is effective.
To be fair to RFK Jr., it is not logically inconsistent to say that a vaccine could be effective for its intended purpose—e.g., for preventing measles infection—but not safe. It’s just that the vast majority of Kennedy’s supporters and those who eventually signed on to the MAHA coalition that helped put Trump in office do not share this “effective but dangerous” belief about vaccines, so to hear Kennedy yet again articulate this viewpoint feels like a betrayal.
And if that feeling of betrayal is uncomfortable, then MAHA supporters better brace themselves for a lot of discomfort. As it turns out, RFK Jr. has betrayed—or, at the very least, seemingly betrayed—his MAHA base many times over the past two years.
On the vaccine front, MAHA activists have been let down time and time again by the new HHS Secretary and the supposedly MAHA-friendly health agencies like the Food and Drug Agency (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that are nominally under his control.
Both FDA head Marty Makary and top FDA executive Tracy Beth Høeg were forced out of their positions earlier this year, shortly before the FDA approved Moderna’s new mRNA flu vaccine. That approval came despite the FDA’s own briefing document showing that recipients of this new mRNA monstrosity were four times more likely to experience a severe systemic reaction to the jab than those who received the regular (dangerous as it is) flu vaccine.
So incensed were MAHA activists by this mRNA vaccine approval that a gaggle of the movement’s most prominent voices signed an open letter to Kennedy expressing their disappointment in his failure to live up to his campaign promises.
As influential leaders within the MAHA and health freedom movements, we are writing to object to policies under your oversight related to the mRNA platform, and to call you to act on our policy goals.
While the centerpiece of the MAHA and health freedom agenda has been removal of mRNA shots, you have failed to take decisive action on this front despite overwhelming credible evidence to [sic] the harm of this technology. Instead, your policies related to mRNA technology are neutered and self-defeating, putting pregnant women and children at risk, misleading parents and eroding their rights, and failing to help those harmed by vaccines.
If you continue to ignore our central issue of removing the mRNA platform, the MAHA and health freedom movements will withdraw their support of you, and you will face the political consequences.
As I discussed in the most recent edition of Sunday Update, MAHA’s sense of disappointment in and betrayal by Kennedy’s mis-leadership is not limited to the vaccine issue.
Indeed, it’s hard for his one-time supporters to process the fact that the same RFK Jr. who once won an historic $290 million lawsuit against Monsanto over its cancer-causing glyphosate-based weed killer is the same RFK Jr. who has defended a Trump executive order that will boost glyphosate production.
And the same RFK Jr. who has warned about the health effects (and privacy violations) of wireless tracking devices is encouraging Americans to use wireless tracking devices to monitor their health.
COMPROMISE(D)?
Remember that photo of Musk and Trump sharing a McDonald’s meal with RFK Jr. on Trump Force One right after the 2024 (s)election?
At first glance, it seems like a harmless hazing by the president-elect. It comes across to those not paying attention as just another instance of Trump and his playful sense of humour. Isn’t it funny, after all, to get “the MAHA guy” to eat a decidedly unhealthy meal to celebrate his political victory?
Upon closer inspection, however, the photo shows something much darker at play.
That meal was a humiliation ritual. Just months before his shameful supper, Kennedy had been bragging on a podcast that he had gone 3,057 days—more than eight years—without drinking a single Coca-Cola. His self-evident pride at that accomplishment, even getting his phone out to show the app where he keeps track of that statistic to the podcast host, provides a sad context for his “celebratory” McDonald’s dinner. Before he could be sworn in to the Trump administration, his Days Without A Coke counter had to go back to zero.
The meal was also an act of compromise. In order to assume his post as the head of HHS, RFK Jr. had to compromise himself, his values and even his own health.
This is not a trivial observation. It was symbolic not only of the compromises that Kennedy would be expected to make in his new role—compromises like supporting Trump’s EO on glyphosate—but of the fact that by making these political compromises, RFK Jr. would himself be compromised.
This is important because it’s what we’ve been told by everyone who has persisted in the MAHA hope-and-change movement since RFK Jr. first assumed office and started failing to deliver on his promises. “Give him time! He’s trying to turn an entire bureaucracy around. He has to make some compromises in the meantime.”
Of course, they mean “compromise” in the positive sense. They mean the act of give-and-take that’s required to “get things done” in any democratic system.
“Of course he can’t just go in there and start de-authorizing mRNA boosters for infants! He can’t just ban glyphosate! He can’t tell people not to take the measles vaccine! Be real! He’s got to make compromises so that he can forward the MAHA agenda!”
But at what point does compromise stop being a positive thing? How many compromises does one have to make before one becomes compromised?
And how many compromises can MAHA afford to make before MAHA isn’t MAHA anymore…..
The organizers have claimed that more than 100,000 took part in a rally in Tel-Aviv
A major protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has taken place in Tel-Aviv just days ahead of the Israeli parliamentary election on October 27.
A square outside the Museum of Art in the country’s largest city was packed on Saturday evening, with the demonstrators holding national flags and banners, reading ‘Change will come’, ‘No more Mr. Far Right Guy’ and other slogans.
The organizers of the gathering from the October Council group put the attendance at over 100,000. The police have yet to announce official figures.
Netanyahu’s main rival in the election – Yashar party chairman and former military chief of staff, Gadi Eisenkot – and other leaders of the opposition bloc have attended the rally. The crowd cheered Eisenkot’s appearance, chanting: “Who’s coming? The next prime minister.”
The October Council was formed by families of the victims of the attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023, who demand accountability from Netanuahy’s right-wing government for the failure to prevent the incursion.
Saturday’s protest, organized with the title ‘In Three Days, Vote for a State Commission of Inquiry’, is the culmination of three years of weekly rallies, according to the group.
The State Commissions of Inquiry, which are independent panels appointed by the Supreme Court, are usually set up in Israel to investigate major failures by the authorities. However, Netanyahu refused to establish such a probe into October 7, insisting that it would be biased against his government.
Reports in the US and local media claimed that the prime minister ignored warnings of the planned attack by Hamas he had received from various sources, including Israeli intelligence and the UAE and Egypt. Netanyahu has denied those claims.
A poll by public broadcaster KAN published before the start of the election silence period on Friday, suggested that Eisenkot’s opposition bloc would get 52 out of 120 in the Israeli parliament, with Netanyahu and his supporters winning 50 seats. This means that neither is likely control the Knesset outright.
Israel responded to the October 7 incursion by Hamas, in which 1,200 people lost their lives and around 250 were taken hostage, by launching a military campaign in Gaza.
Israeli airstrikes and a ground offensive have killed more than 74,000 Palestinians, including at least 21,000 children, and injured over 175,000 others in the enclave over the past three years, according to the local Health Ministry. More than 1,500 deaths happened after a US-brokered ceasefire went into effect in October 2025.
In 2000, the CDC announced that measles had been eradicated from the US. At that time, the CDC prided itself in this outstanding achievement and credited the success to its vaccination program.
However, year after year, outbreaks continued to occur in communities across the nation.
The fact of the matter is that measles will likely never be eliminated although it fits perfectly into a compelling narrative to promote vaccination compliance and to keep the public in fear and high alert. Indeed, measles is highly infectious. Yet to achieve herd immunity with ineffective, leaky vaccines, it would require 100 percent coverage worldwide. This cannot be accomplished when many low-income developing nations have barely half of their populations vaccinated.
According to health officials, the MMR is estimated to have a 5 percent failure rate. However, independent studies and screening of infected fully vaccinated persons indicate the rate could be 30 percent and higher. Even if the 5 percent is assumed accurate, this still translates to approximately 3 million children between 1-17 years of age who are unprotected despite being fully vaccinated. In addition, since measles infections are frequently mild and vaccinated individuals can often be asymptomatic carriers, there are greater dangers of the virus spreading silently. Furthermore, millions of visitors come to the US annually; therefore, the nation will never be fully protected from measles outbreaks.
One example stands out. Many Americans will recall the Disneyland measles outbreak at the end of 2014 and the widespread panic generated by the CDC and mainstream media networks. The outbreak was a huge cash cow for the pharmaceutical company Merck. In a single quarter after the outbreak, the company’s measles vaccine sales increased 24 percent according to Bloomberg Business News.
After the Disneyland outbreak, the medical journal JAMA published a study showing only 14 percent of those infected were unvaccinated. If 86 percent of those contracting measles were vaccinated, then the belief that the vaccine is capable of reaching herd immunity is a mere fantasy.
After many years of reviewing and analyzing vaccine-related scientific papers and articles, we can make one clear conclusion about the herd immunity theory. It is a dishonest marketing gimmick. It is an example of garbage-in garbage-out pseudo science. For this reason, the theory is bound to fail in the real world.
Given the CDC’s track record of concealing worrisome health risks from the public when it is more expedient to preserve the agency’s credibility, it is not unreasonable to suspect the agency has concealed the measles vaccine failures and injuries for decades. Last year, cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough accused the CDC of classifying many measles cases during outbreaks involving 1,562 individual cases as “vaccine status unknown.” In Dr. McCullough’s review, this seems highly implausible given the enormity of the NIH’s staff and easy access to patient, physician, and clinical vaccination records.
No doubt an infectious disease outbreak can happen in a highly non-immune community if a virus reaches it. The real question, however, is how well can high vaccination compliance ensure sufficient immunity and protect a community from an outbreak? An early paper by Poland and Jacobson reported 18 separate measles outbreaks across the North America in 1994. All outbreaks occurred in school systems with very high vaccination coverage, as high as 99.8 percent in one school district. Nevertheless, vaccinated children constituted between 33 to 100 percent of the diagnosed measles cases.
Another glaring example of measles vaccine failure occurred on the Boston University campus. This was a particularly opportunist outbreak because the university had just completed a blood drive and, therefore, a large collection of students’ blood samples to investigate was immediately on hand. Laboratory analysis found that eight out of nine students who contracted measles were fully vaccinated. Another 70 percent carried a measles infection but were asymptomatic.
A more convincing and alarming study by the Public Health Agency of Canada was published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology announcing a new real-time RT-PCR technology that could identify measles vaccine strains with laborious genetic sequencing. The technology is especially crucial during disease outbreaks for rapid diagnosis. To test the new diagnostic tool, the CDC provided Canadian health officials with 194 measles virus sequences from the 2015 measles outbreaks. Thirty-eight percent were identified as vaccine strains rather than wild-type viral strains. In other words, over a third of the outbreaks that year were actually vaccine reactions in vaccinated kids rather than natural infections.
When we consider the demonization of parents who are hesitant to vaccinate their children against measles and the eager willingness to blame outbreaks on unvaccinated persons, the implications of this new technology are enormous. Moreover, because vaccine efficacy is weak, when the broader safety health risks are further taken into account, the benefit-risk ratio increasingly tilts in favor of parents refusing vaccination.
In order to evaluate any vaccine’s benefit-risk ration, its efficacy and safety record need to be reviewed and analyzed. Aside from the Disneyland case, China presents an excellent example of measles vaccination inefficiency. China is one of the most vaccination-compliant populations in the world, estimated at 99 percent coverage. Measles vaccination is mandatory. So why were there over 700 measles outbreaks during a three year period alone? A Chinese study in collaboration with the University of Michigan reported that 51 percent had been vaccinated, even following boosters in many cases. The obvious conclusion is the vaccine is not especially effective and vaccine failures are far more common than the public is led to believe.
Dr. Gregory Poland, Editor in Chief of the journal Vaccine and founder of the Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine Research Group, published a surprising statement about measles vaccine’s poor record of efficacy. At that time there was near 95-plus percent measles vaccination compliance for children entering kindergarten. Despite the CDC’s propaganda stating that the vaccine defeated the virus, measles outbreaks continued to increase. Dr. Poland’s analysis was that the rise in measles cases was not due unvaccinated individuals but rather the failure of the vaccines.
The Cochrane Collaboration, a world-renowned independent organization that evaluates the medical literature or the efficacy of any given drug, vaccine and medical intervention, has reviewed the scientific research for the MMR vaccine on several occasions. In one review of 60 prominent studies, Cochrane concluded, “The design and reporting of safety outcomes in MMR vaccine studies, both pre- and post-marketing, are largely inadequate.”
Another medical discovery that debunks belief in the MMR’s protective claims is that live virus vaccines, such as the MMR, shed. This means that a vaccine’s viral component can be transmitted and infect others people that a vaccinated person comes into contact with.
The best-documented case occurred in New York City in 2011 when an adult woman received two MMR shots and subsequently infected four others in her workplace in the theater district. Two of those infected were already immunized with two MMR doses. All cases positive for measles in the incident were confirmed by laboratory testing and government health officials concluded that the outbreak was due to a failure in the MMR vaccine. In other words, the vaccine infected others.
It may also be noted that it is not uncommon in out-patient cancer clinics to provide at-home instructions for persons who are severely immunocompromised. One frequent guideline is to avoid contact with persons who have been recently vaccinated. This is especially true for live viral vaccines that can more easily infect others already in poor health.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, there were 93,179 reports of hospitalizations, injuries and deaths following measles vaccinations in the government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). There were also 1,258 measles vaccine damage claims filed in the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program for 82 deaths and 1,176 injuries. About 50 percent of reported adverse effects occur in children three years and younger. But the nation’s vaccine safety monitoring system has been horrible for several decades. Medical experts have often noted and criticized the flaws and inefficiencies in VAERS for recording vaccine injuries. Various analyses, including out of Harvard Medical School, have given evidence that only between 1-10 percent of serious vaccine injuries get reported. Therefore, government health officials have been severely handicapped by their own negligence to conduct proper safety evaluations during the post-marketing period of a drug or vaccine. In addition, although the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act requires physicians and vaccine providers to report serious adverse vaccine reactions to VAERS, not only do many doctors and nurses fail to file reports, many are unaware the system even exists.
For many decades, a host of adverse effects have been found to be directly or indirectly associated with the MMR and MMR-V vaccines. Aside from common vaccine reactions, such as low-grade fevers, redness, rashes, pain at injection site and swelling, Merck’s product inserts list over 40 serious complications. Among the more serious reactions potentially leading to long-term illnesses, disabilities and death are: subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, aseptic meningitis, thrombocytopenia;, aplastic anemia (anemia due to the bone marrow’s inability to produce platelets, red and white blood cells), lymphadenitis, anaphylaxis including related symptoms of peripheral, angioneurotic and facial emema, necrotizing retinitis (inflammation of the eye), nerve deafness, optic and retrobulbar neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve), Bell’s palsy, stroke, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, transverse myelitis, encephalopathy, vasculitis, pancreatitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, acute hemorrhagic edema, afebrile convulsions, arthritis and death.
Secondary conditions can include atypical vaccine strain measles infections and susceptibility to other viral infections, respiratory and bronchial viruses in particular.
In a large retrospective study conducted by Kaiser Permanente Colorado and published in the journal Pediatrics, researchers examined over 1.1 million MMR vaccine doses given to children aged 1–18 years and identified 259 confirmed cases of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). ITP is a medical condition defined by abnormally low platelet counts and clinical bleeding. Particularly disturbing was that for most in the youngest age group, between 12-23 months of age, the disease appeared quite late — 42 days after vaccination. The study concluded that 76 percent of ITP cases in children were attributable to MMR vaccination.
The fact that some adverse injuries from the measles vaccine, such as thrombocytopenic purpura, can appear months after vaccination is troublesome. Consider that the MMR shot was licensed without a single clean placebo-controlled study. Moreover, the trials only tracked adverse events for 42 days after vaccination and discounted a host of chronic diseases and adverse events occurring after the trial period.
Several studies stand out to support measles vaccine-associated injuries. Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Sweden reported that children receiving the MMR before age 10 have a significantly higher risk of multiple sclerosis.
As far back as 2002, it was known that a particular type of antibody was commonly found in autistic children who received the MMR vaccine. Utah State University researchers recorded elevated levels of measles antibodies and myelin basic protein (MBP) autoantibodies in 125 autistic children. MBP is a biomarker that plays a significant role in the onset of autism. Ninety percent of the MMR antibody positive autistic children were also positive for MBP autoantibodies. The researchers concluded that “an inappropriate antibody response to MMR, specifically the measles component thereof, might be related to the pathogenesis of autism”. It is also well known that viral infections can cause oxidative stress that decreases methylation capacity common in autism.
Many might remember the case of Dr. William Thompson who was featured in the documentary film Vaxxed. Thompson was a former Merck scientist who became a senior epidemiologist at the CDC’s Immunization Safety department in 1997. He was a co-author on studies that were often cited to debunk a connection between autism and vaccinations. In 2014, after a conflict of conscience, Thompson came forth with material evidence proving that the CDC had known for almost fifteen years that a causal relationship exists between the MMR vaccine, the vaccine preservative thimerosal and autism.
We identified two distinct forms of mRNA vaccine shedding: internal transcriptional spread and potential human-to-human transfer.
For years, people around the world have raised serious concerns about mRNA vaccine shedding—the possibility that vaccine-derived materials could spread beyond the individuals who received the injections. Despite years of public concern and debate, critical questions surrounding this possibility have remained unanswered.
We decided to examine the scientific evidence comprehensively, tracing what happens to vaccine-derived materials inside the body, how they spread between cells, and whether biological mechanisms exist that could allow these materials to pass from one person to another.
Drawing on published human investigations, molecular experiments, and research involving extracellular vesicles, we examined the existing evidence and identified two distinct forms of mRNA vaccine shedding:
1. Human-to-human shedding: The potential transfer of vaccine-derived materials from vaccinated individuals to other people through biological secretions.
2. Transcriptional shedding: The production, fragmentation, persistence, and internal spread of vaccine-derived molecular products throughout the body.
1. Human-to-Human Shedding: Potential Transfer Between Individuals
Studies have detected vaccine-derived spike protein and mRNA on or within circulating exosomes multiple years after vaccination. Exosomes are microscopic, membrane-bound particles that protect and transport proteins, genetic material, and other biological cargo between cells.
Importantly, these same types of particles are naturally present in bodily secretions that may come into contact with other individuals:
Breast milk: Vaccine-derived mRNA has already been detected within exosomes in human breast milk. This documents the presence of vaccine genetic material in a secretion naturally transferred from vaccinated mothers to their infants.
Saliva: Exosomes are confirmed in human saliva, yet their potential carriage of vaccine-derived spike protein, mRNA, or plasmid-associated DNA remains untested.
Exhaled breath: Exosomes and other extracellular vesicles have been recovered from exhaled breath and breath condensate. Whether these particles carry vaccine-derived materials following mRNA vaccination has not been directly investigated.
Sweat: Extracellular vesicles have also been detected in human sweat, but their potential carriage of vaccine-derived molecular products remains untested.
Exosomes are not simply passive containers. Experimental research demonstrates that they can protect genetic material, enter recipient cells, and deliver molecular cargo capable of altering cellular activity.
These findings provide a plausible biological foundation for human-to-human transfer pathways beyond breast milk.
Adding to these concerns, an observational study involving thousands of respondents found associations between proximity to vaccinated individuals and menstrual irregularities among unvaccinated women.
Despite these observations, whether vaccine-derived spike protein, mRNA, or plasmid-associated DNA can transfer between individuals through saliva, exhaled breath, sweat, or other non-milk bodily secretions has never been directly tested.
2. Transcriptional Shedding: Internal Spread Throughout the Body
The second form of shedding examined in our paper involves the production, fragmentation, persistence, and dissemination of vaccine-derived molecular materials within the vaccinated individual.
Following mRNA vaccination, human cells manufacture SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. This protein can be broken into fragments through enzymatic processes, released into circulation, and transported through the body inside or on the surface of exosomes.
We examine two additional mechanisms that could extend this process.
Cell division (mitosis): When cells containing vaccine-derived proteins divide, their daughter cells may inherit portions of the altered cellular contents. This proposed mechanism could extend the presence and biological effects of vaccine-derived materials across successive generations of cells.
Cell-to-cell spread: Exosomes can transport spike-related materials and regulatory genetic cargo to distant cells that never directly received vaccine mRNA. Experimental studies involving spike-expressing cells demonstrate that exosomal cargo can alter signaling pathways in recipient cells.
Together, these mechanisms suggest a potentially self-reinforcing cycle of molecular dissemination and cellular signaling disruption:
Spike production → Protein fragmentation → Exosome release → Cellular signaling disruption → Further dissemination
As vaccine-derived materials spread between cells, they interfere with five interconnected biological systems: blood coagulation, innate immune sensing, tumor-suppressor signaling, cellular receptor regulation, and interferon signaling.
The possibility of sustained cellular disruption and human-to-human exposure of mRNA vaccine material demands immediate testing. In the meantime, a HALT to mRNA technology is warranted to protect innocent bystanders from potential shedding.
I don’t know who first coined the saying “If the penalty is a fine, then it’s legal for rich people,” but it certainly applies here.
That story about Google killing hundreds of thousands of trees in Finland for its data center project is such a perfect microcosm of what capitalism is doing to our world.
Recent mass media headlines are saying the tech giant “illegally” cut down “250,000” trees, but both claims paint an inaccurate picture of what actually happened. Google killed 400,000 trees (250,000 near a town called Muhos and another 150,000 near the village of Otanmäki), and unless the company’s executives actually wind up going to prison for this, their actions cannot properly be described as “illegal”.
I don’t know who first coined the saying “If the penalty is a fine, then it’s legal for rich people,” but it certainly applies here. The Finnish Licensing and Supervision Authority has reportedly ordered Google to suspend all “measures that significantly change the environment,” saying it will “consider enforcement proceedings and fines” if the megacorporation does not comply. Google’s parent company Alphabet has a net worth of around four trillion dollars; whatever paltry penalties Finland might impose for these ecocidal actions, it won’t have any meaningful effect on Google.
Giant corporations do this shit all the time. They calculate that the fines incurred by their abusive actions will be dwarfed by the massive profits they generate, issue fake apologies as needed, and leave it to their armies of lawyers to minimize the damage. That’s why the Sackler family is still worth billions despite all the fines Purdue Pharma was slapped with while creating the US opiate epidemic.
“Although civil claims and criminal charges were brought against Purdue and its executives, the resulting penalties paled in comparison to extended-release oxycodone profits. In May 2007, the company and its president, chief counsel, and former chief medical officer pled guilty to falsely marketing extended-release oxycodone as ‘less addictive, less subject to abuse and diversion, and less likely to cause tolerance and withdrawal than other pain medications.’ As part of the plea bargain, Purdue agreed to pay the federal government $600 million and 27 states $20 million. The three executives agreed to $34.5 million in fines but avoided jailtime. By contrast, Purdue has earned an estimated $31 billion in total revenues from extended-release oxycodone since its launch. Rather than deterring fraudulent marketing, the penalties simply became a cost of doing business.”
A cost of doing business.
That’s how things work under capitalism. The law primarily exists not to protect people or the environment, but to protect the interests of capital. If you destroyed a Google data center you’d probably be charged as a terrorist and spend decades in prison, but Google can destroy the natural world around you and get off with a finger wag and a symbolic fine. If you stole millions of dollars from your employer you’d go to prison for grand larceny, but if your employer steals millions from its employees you need to win a class action lawsuit to get back what they stole from you.
Proponents of capitalism often pretend they support minimal government intervention in civilian affairs, but their entire model is at all times propped up by state power using force to protect the haves from the have-nots at every level of our society. Corporations are free to destroy the environment, destroy your health, rob you, exploit you, and manipulate your government to their advantage, and if you ever take action to stand up to this world-devouring onslaught, the state will lock you in a cage.
In school we are taught that that the law exists to protect ordinary people from bad people, but that’s not true at all. Under capitalism, the law exists to protect the very worst among us from everyone else. That’s why we are seeing our planet being turned into dust and ashes for no reason other than shareholder profit.
It’s an insane system, and it needs to end. These freaks are feeding our entire biosphere into the woodchipper.
