The Trump administration's Threat to Scientific Research

Damage is done, we'll forever be behind, this isn't the place to go to research anymore.

Let me pick one thing: their main (we-found-alien-life-level) claim that they detected vaccine-derived mRNA and non-functional fragments of the artificial plasmid DNA used in vaccine manufacturing in this person's circulating cells, 3+ years after vaccination. This DNA is supposed to be carefully filtered out BTW before packaging into vaccines, but OK, it's worth thinking about. This DNA would also be degraded quickly if injected - it's linearized before use, but OK let's say multiple processes failed somehow, and some voodoo magic keeps it from being gobbled up. Even they don't outright claim to know how it got there, because any concrete proposed mechanism would either sound extremely implausible or impossible - as it turns out it probably doesn't matter either way (see below.)

On p. 16 of the paper they claim to detect the actual vaccine mRNA only in exosomes. They could not detect it at all in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, where, even more extraordinarily they claim to have found and sequenced the ori1 and ori2 plasmid backbone used in Pfizer vaccine manufacturing (but crucially, none of the three spike protein sequences that would actually cause immune system problems if transcribed into a protein.) So I don't know what to make of the ori1/2 artifacts, except that I'd check that these sequences were truly unique to the Pfizer process (often these are conserved sequences that many labs use.) Even if they are somehow from the vaccine, and somehow active, they lack the spike sequences so would not produce mRNA in exosomes and thus spike proteins (so irrelevant to their other measurements of spike protein.)

So where do they think the mRNA in the exosomes come from? Well, if it ISN'T in the PBMC's (which it would be if it was being expressed there), then it has to be in "extracellular vessels" from the original injections. For 3+ years. At detectable concentrations. Mmmm hmmm. They could check this of course because the Pfizer vaccines use specially modified RNA's - that would be a smoking gun, but of course they didn't check this. You know why. You know where else one gets mRNA for spike proteins, that could end up in exosomes? Covid. Or maybe just a recent vaccine injection. Interestingly, they didn't bother to sequence the amplicons of the mRNA that they banded out on a gel - that also would be a pretty convincing indication it was from Pfizer, as any Covid in the wild today would have enough mutations to be identifiable. They did this exact thing for the ori1/2 bands, hmm I wonder why they didn't do this? You know why.

I could go on, but I have done enough public service for one morning.

It sounds like you believe that DNA contamination in the manufacturing process would leave the body rapidly and they are saying that it sits around in exosomes for much longer based on their observed specimen.

The latest science thus being that exosomes with DNA contaminants may not clear the body in the manner previously presumed.

It is highly likely that it was only presumed and nobody actually thoroughly analyzed it before. The science of how fast exosomes cleared was likely a speculation from years ago, and it may in fact be wrong now that someone has actually funded observing exosomes over the long term.

Therefore, this paper is cutting edge science and annoys the establishment because it attacks some sacred presumption upon which entire edifices are built. It attacks such presumptions with observable empirical facts. That makes one have to consider how many it would take to falsify a premise, a premise that they might realize was never hypothesis tested in the first place -- since it is in fact a speculated dogma instead of an observed scientific fact.
