The Enemy Within

In this opinion, Dr Guy Hatchard examines the retraction of a prominent Covid vaccine research paper following findings of fabricated data and falsified images. He questions the integrity of biotechnology research, raises concerns about possible links between mRNA vaccination and autoimmune disease, and challenges New Zealand health authorities to release comprehensive health data for independent scrutiny. His central argument is that public confidence in medical science must rest on transparency, accountability and rigorous investigation rather than unquestioning trust.

The Enemy Within

Opinion by Dr Guy Hatchard

Four years ago in 2022 a paper appeared in the journal Science Translational Medicine entitled “SARS-CoV-2 S2–targeted vaccination elicits broadly neutralizing antibodies”. It purported to show that Covid vaccine types can be developed that will induce a strong immune response to a broad range of mutated Covid virus types by targeting viral molecular structures that are conserved across all Covid virus mutations. The study has been cited over the ensuing years as landmark confirmatory evidence that the ongoing development and refinement of gene altering Covid vaccines will result in the kind of effective broad spectrum prevention that is almost entirely lacking in the versions currently in use.

It suggested that DNA vaccine research directions could be tailored to confer permanent immunity, overcoming the obvious limitations of current mRNA vaccines (which include inflexible, ‘viral type specific’ immune responses). DNA vaccines enter the cell nucleus and integrate with the DNA to permanently produce antigens. The paper reported that viral spike protein segments common to all Covid viral types (including Alpha, Delta, Omicron, and thousands of others) had been identified. Then a vaccine was developed and tested on mice which integrated its production into the DNA, leading to translation via mRNA pathways into the physiology to produce an immune response. In other words, the paper suggests that a more penetrating and permanent form of genetic intervention (or so-called vaccination???) can be developed to target viruses and other pathogens. Thus, the paper purports to present evidence that the current direction of genetic medicine will be very productive in overcoming disease in general.

Last week the journal withdrew the paper after an investigation by the Francis Crick Institute of London determined that it included “fabricated data” and “falsified images”. It found that the lead author Kevin Ng (one of ten authors) was responsible. Subsequently, another paper by Ng published in the prestigious journal Nature on the treatment of cancer through immunotherapy has had an editor’s note appended to it saying: “Readers are alerted that concerns have been raised regarding the reliability of data presented in this article.”

A biographical website kevinwng.com describes Ng as a music critic who has written for the NY Times and the London Times about the intersection of culture, power and imperialism. Conversely, the retracted paper describes Ng as a postdoctoral fellow at Rockefeller University NY. How Ng ended up as the lead author of papers supposedly authenticating the direction of biotechnology experimentation on humans is a complete mystery, but the whole episode illustrates how the promise of a cure of all diseases through biotechnology feeds upon itself becoming a motif of journalistic coverage. Whatever the murky origins of this fraud actually are, the retraction removes a brick in the heretofore solid and carefully curated wall of ‘public belief in the miracles of biotechnology’.

As we discussed in our article last week “The Pretence of Certainty”, this is not the only brick that has come loose. The biotech faithful are scrambling to ensure that discussions of Covid vaccine safety should not include the increasing number of serious disease types that appear to be adversely affected by mRNA vaccines. Last week, case reports from 2021, 2022 and 2023 of adverse effects of mRNA vaccination on multiple sclerosis development and progression reinserted themselves into the news when some intrepid journalists asked why weren’t these cases being taken seriously? The answer was rapidly returned—temporal association doesn’t prove causality. Just because some people in Italy and at a number of other internationally recognised neurological treatment centres elsewhere developed multiple sclerosis within three weeks of Covid vaccination and the symptoms of others with the pre-existing condition worsened, doesn’t apparently prove any association nor give rise to serious investigation. Our article last week asked a more general and even more concerning question, why are a record number of Kiwis suddenly falling sick with more serious presentations of diseases than ever before all starting in 2021?

The answer I gave during an interview with Paul Brennan at RCR three days ago shouldn’t be surprising to anyone at this stage of scientific publishing re-examining Covid articles of faith. mRNA vaccines repurpose genetic mechanisms in billions of cells to produce toxins. This sets up a situation whereby our immune responses are required to attack material that has been produced by our own cells. That amounts to a classic recipe for autoimmune disease, such as multiple sclerosis for example whereby the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin, the protective fatty sheath that surrounds nerve fibres. mRNA vaccines elevate autoimmune responses from a ‘mistake’ to an engineered condition. The retracted paper went so far as to wrongly suggest that this could safely become a permanent condition of our human physiology. As if a football team containing players dedicated to helping the other side could ever be a success. Unfortunately the retraction has come four years too late after the paper has already unjustly influenced the direction of research, public messaging and belief. An effect that the late retraction is unlikely to appreciably shift. mRNA vaccines and their successors are trojan horses, they open the gates to immune dysfunction, instability and self-destruction. Research findings confirm that cells can continue to produce toxic spike proteins years after vaccination. It is quite possible that the full extent of the damage wrought by mass mRNA vaccination is just now becoming visible in the alarming rates of ED attendance, cancer and cardiac data, and mental health statistics which we have been reporting since 2021.

The retort that temporal association doesn’t prove causality is wearing very thin indeed by now, as it becomes more and more apparent that faith in biotechnology has led researchers to not only ignore adverse data and refuse to investigate any further, but also to fabricate and/or misinterpret data to try to prove biotechnology experimentation should be funded to promote further genetic manipulation of humans. Causality is technically established by repeated instances of temporal association, a process captured by time series analysis. The occurrence of increased rates of multiple disease types with increased severity and affecting younger age cohorts beginning at a particular point in time exactly coinciding with mass mRNA vaccination is a clear red flag that cannot be safely ignored or dismissed without undertaking analysis of outcomes by disease type, age and vaccination status. The refusal of Health NZ to undertake this work or allow others to do so (by preventing the publication of relevant health data) amounts to a heinous form of fraud affecting the NZ public. In this light, continuing recommendations to take mRNA Covid vaccines and reassurances of safety are deceptions that fly in the face of real health data.
