"By delivering synthetic genes into the muscles of the [experimental] monkeys, the scientists are essentially re-engineering the animals to resist disease." "'The sky's the limit,' said Michael Farzan, an immunologist at Scripps and lead author of the new study." "The first human trial based on this strategy - called immunoprophylaxis by gene transfer, or I.G.T. - is underway, and several new ones are planned." [That was five years ago.] "I.G.T. is altogether different from traditional vaccination. It is instead a form of gene therapy. Scientists isolate the genes that produce powerful antibodies against certain diseases and then synthesize artificial versions. The genes are placed into viruses and injected into human tissue, usually muscle."
"The viruses invade human cells with their DNA payloads, and the synthetic gene is incorporated into the recipient's own DNA. If all goes well, the new genes instruct the cells to begin manufacturing powerful antibodies."Read that again: "the synthetic gene is incorporated into the recipient's own DNA." Alteration of the human genetic makeup. Not just a "visit." Permanent residence. The Times article taps Dr. David Baltimore for an opinion:
"Still, Dr. Baltimore says that he envisions that some people might be leery of a vaccination strategy that means altering their own DNA, even if it prevents a potentially fatal disease."Yes, some people might be leery. If they have two or three working brain cells.
"CRISPR gene editing is taking biomedical research by storm. Providing the ultimate toolbox for genetic manipulation, many new applications for this technology are now being investigated and established. CRISPR systems are already delivering superior genetic models for fundamental disease research, drug screening and therapy development, rapid diagnostics, in vivo editing and correction of heritable conditions and now the first human CRISPR clinical trials."All hail. It's called CRISPR, a much faster, more precise, and cheaper technique for editing genes. Researchers are in love with it. You can find hundreds of articles and studies fawning over the innovation. At phys[dot]org, however, we have this, ahem, warning note (5/29/17):
"...a new study published in Nature Methods has found that the gene-editing technology can introduce hundreds of unintended mutations into the genome."Oops.
"In the new study, the researchers sequenced the entire genome of mice that had undergone CRISPR gene editing in the team's previous study and looked for all mutations, including those that only altered a single nucleotide." "The researchers determined that CRISPR had successfully corrected a gene that causes blindness, but Kellie Schaefer, a PhD student in the lab of Vinit Mahajan, MD, PhD, associate professor of ophthalmology at Stanford University, and co-author of the study, found that the genomes of two independent gene therapy recipients [mice] HAD SUSTAINED MORE THAN 1500 SINGLE-NUCLEOTIDE MUTATIONS AND MORE THAN 100 LARGER [GENE] DELETIONS AND INSERTIONS. None of these DNA mutations were predicted by computer algorithms that are widely used by researchers to look for off-target effects." (Emphasis is mine.) "'Researchers who aren't using whole genome sequencing to find off-target effects may be missing potentially important mutations,' Dr. Tsang says. 'Even a single nucleotide change can have a huge impact'."
"CRISPR-Cas9 systems, tools and basic methodology are very accessible as ready to go toolkits that anyone with lab space and an idea can pick up and start working with...In response to a growing need, companies such as Desktop Genetics have developed open access software to accelerate CRISPR experimentation and analysis."That's good to know. "Anyone with lab space and an idea" can jump on board and have at it. Do your own cross breeding of the pregnant phrases, "What could possibly go wrong," and "Nothing to see here, move along," and you've summarized the situation. "They say they cured my anemia, but now I turn green and purple and I keep falling down." If all this isn't enough to make you see the dangers of CRISPR, consider this statement about engineering human immune cells (T-cells) in a "safer" way. From statnews[dot]com (June 23, 2013):
"The experiment would alter the immune system's T cells only after they're removed from a patient. That gives scientists the chance to screen the CRISPR'd cells to make sure only the three intended genes, all involved in making T cells find and destroy tumor cells, are altered. But after those T cells are infused back into a patient to fight melanoma, sarcoma, or myeloma, the CRISPR system can keep editing DNA, and tracking such edits becomes like following a polar bear in a snowstorm."Not very comforting. Once set in motion, even under the most protected and limited conditions, CRISPR can keep on working, scrambling genes in unknown ways. So...when it comes to DNA vaccines, aka gene therapy, a plan to precisely re-engineer humans could quite easily descend into uncontrolled chaos. And the controllers and elite funders of the vaccine know that. What to do? With the global population as their guinea pigs, perhaps they would start small. Introduce the slightest possible gene-alteration, stand back and see what happens. Try out a gene that would ordinarily---hopefully---achieve next to nothing. Try to measure the results. Viewed from one angle, the whole fake epidemic is a set-up for the vaccine, and for mandatory vaccines. I have written about the special exemption from liability recently issued by the US Dept. of Health and Human Services. Basically, anyone associated with pharmaceutical strategies undertaken "against the coronavirus" cannot be sued, regardless of "adverse effects" of medicines or vaccines. Taking a stand against mandatory vaccines---any and all vaccines---is more important than ever.
