Why did all the 💉makers choose the spike protein?

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

For thirty years, people on statins said the pills were wrecking their muscles, and plenty of doctors told them it was just age, or nerves, or imagination. Scientists have now watched the drug do it, almost atom by atom.

Some of this we already knew. Statins list muscle pain and weakness on the label, they raise the risk of type 2 diabetes, and in rare cases they can break muscle down completely. The standard line for the everyday aches was that most of it was in the mind.

What was missing was the how. Inside every muscle cell sits a tiny gate that lets calcium flow in and out so the muscle can contract. The new study froze the drug in place and photographed it, and there was the statin, jammed into that gate and holding it open. Calcium then leaks out non-stop, and that slow leak is what eats away at the muscle. The people who suffer worst, it turns out, are born with a slightly faulty version of that gate.

One honest caveat. The test used stronger doses than a daily pill puts in your blood. But the single statin ever pulled from the market for killing people through muscle damage was later found to be the strongest opener of this very gate.

The damage was real all along. The only thing missing was a way to see it, and now they have one.

The company that taught machines to imagine just built a machine to see inside your body.

A full body medical scanner.

You step into a pool of warm water. Half a million sensors pulse ultrasonic waves through your body from every angle.

Sixty seconds. No radiation. No magnets. No claustrophobia.

A 3D map of your organs down to a fraction of a millimeter. A hundred times the speed of an MRI. A few dollars instead of thousands.

They mastered text-to-image. Now they’re doing sound-to-biology.

Midjourney isn’t putting this in a hospital. They’re building a spa.

Saunas. Cold plunges. Rooms of golden light that quietly scan your biology while you relax.

The scan is a side effect of showing up.

First location opens in San Francisco, late 2027. By 2031 they’re targeting 50,000 scanners worldwide. A billion scans per month.

Fewer than twelve of these machines at full speed could outperform every MRI on Earth combined.

Zero investors. Zero venture capital. Just subscription revenue from everyday people paying to generate AI art.

A community funded research lab just walked into the most protected industry on the planet.

We mapped the ocean floor. Photographed black holes. Sequenced the entire human genome.

And the only way to see inside your own body was to be sick enough or rich enough to justify the scan.

This inverts that.

Monthly scans. AI tracking your organs over time. Anomalies flagged years before a single symptom appears.

You stop reacting to disease and start watching for it.

At this scale, preventive imaging could avert 30% of all deaths and cut healthcare spending in half. Debate the numbers. The logic underneath is airtight.

What breaks your brain is who built it. Not a pharmaceutical giant. Not a government lab. Nine people at an AI art company.

The team that spent years teaching machines to generate things that don’t exist just built one that reveals the thing that always did.

You have lived your entire life inside a body you have never truly seen.

You’re about to.

»Eine neue Studie der Technischen Universität Athen stellt die Klimawissenschaft auf den Kopf. Sie zeigt: In den letzten 40 Jahren hat sich die isotopische Signatur des atmosphärischen CO2 nicht verändert – menschliche Emissionen sind schlicht nicht erkennbar. Damit wird die Grundannahme der UNO und des IPCC, wonach fossile Brennstoffe die Hauptursache des Klimawandels seien, fundamental infrage gestellt.

Seit Jahrzehnten predigen die Hohepriester des Weltklimarats (IPCC), dass die Menschheit durch ihre fossilen Emissionen das Klima der Erde ins Wanken bringe. Das Mantra lautet: Mehr CO2 in der Luft, mehr Hitze auf dem Planeten, mehr Katastrophen vor unserer Haustür. Doch eine neue Studie aus Griechenland zerschmettert dieses Glaubensgebäude – und das mit nüchternen, überprüfbaren Daten. Demnach hat sich die isotopische Signatur des atmosphärischen CO₂ in den letzten 40 Jahren nicht im Geringsten verändert. Mit anderen Worten: Es gibt keine Spur fossiler Brennstoffe in unserer Luft. Der Mensch ist im atmosphärischen Kohlenstoffkreislauf schlicht nicht erkennbar.« 👇🏻

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

Some basic scientific facts for you.

CO2 is 0.04% of our atmosphere.

Mankind's entire CO2 emissions are just 3% of that (0.0012%).

The UK's entire CO2 emissions are just 1% of that (0.0000012%).

CO2 is harmless plant food, not the planet's climate control knob.

Finnish scientists trucked in real forest dirt and grass and laid it over the gravel at four daycare yards. They let the kids dig around in it for a month. The blood tests came back with changes the researchers hadn’t expected to see so fast or so clear.

The study ran at ten daycares in two Finnish cities with 75 kids aged three to five. Four of the yards got the forest treatment: about a tennis court worth of soil and grass laid over the gravel, plus planters and peat blocks the kids could dig and climb on. Three others stuck with their normal gravel yards. The last three were daycares where the kids were already visiting real forests every day.

After one month, the variety of bacteria living on the kids’ skin shot up, and the kind that helps train the skin’s immune defenses jumped the most. Their gut bacteria started to look like the gut bacteria of the forest-visiting kids. Their blood showed more of the immune cells whose job is to keep the body from freaking out at harmless stuff like pollen and peanuts, and overall inflammation dropped. The kids on the plain gravel yards showed none of this.

Childhood asthma in the US doubled between 1980 and 1995. Food allergies in kids jumped 50 percent between 1997 and 2011, then jumped another 50 percent between 2007 and 2021. And peanut allergies in one-year-olds tripled between 2001 and 2017.

The Finnish researchers think one of the reasons is simple: kids today don’t get dirty enough. 37 percent of American preschoolers now spend an hour or less outside on a normal weekday. Their immune systems are getting trained in environments stripped of the bacteria humans have always lived around.

Aki Sinkkonen, who led the study, put it in plain words: “It would be best if children could play in puddles and everyone could dig organic soil.” The Finnish government is now helping pay for daycares across the country to make the same changes.

The UK just “smashed” its May temperature record… but here’s the part the Met Office conveniently leaves out:
The PREVIOUS record was set in 1922.

That’s 104 years ago.

Long before SUVs, private jets, or modern CO₂ emissions. Heathrow Airport didn’t even exist yet. The area was literally farmland and small villages.

So if a 1922 heatwave could produce nearly identical temperatures in a world with ~130 ppm less CO₂, maybe, just maybe, natural variability plays a much bigger role than the panic merchants admit.

Shame on the WHO:
More than ten years later, Ebola is once again a topic that is stirring up considerable attention. The WHO is, of course, once again positioning itself as supposedly leading the fight against the virus.
This is therefore the perfect moment to revisit a purely scientific report that I wrote more than ten years ago, which clearly demonstrates how the incompetent WHO, supported by the equally incompetent Lancet, committed a blunder of historic proportions by vaccinating people during the incubation period according to the so-called ring-vaccination principle.
The catastrophic consequences of this were barely brought to light at the time ─ even though my report reached all relevant global health and regulatory authorities. Instead, the WHO even boasted that the vaccine was 100% effective!
It was a scandal unlike anything I had ever witnessed in my career ─ until it was repeated about seven years later in the context of COVID-19 vaccination, only on a far larger scale!
Despite my repeated requests as Gavi’s Ebola program manager, the WHO pertinently refused ─ under the pretext that those data were confidential ─ to disclose the total number of Ebola-caused deaths, from day one of vaccination onward, in the vaccinated group versus the control group in that pivotal clinical trial.
Anyone who reads this purely scientific account can only conclude that this organization should be dismantled as quickly as possible.

A community college professor named Marty Lobdell taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years. The video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings online, with over 10 million views.

He spent his career watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because no one had taught them how their brain actually works when learning something difficult.

The lecture, “Study Less Study Smart,” contains a powerful framework.

Your brain cannot sustain focus the way most people believe. Studies show the average learner hits a wall between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency collapses. You’re still sitting there, but almost nothing is being absorbed.

Lobdell told the story of a student who planned to study 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week. Thirty hours total. She failed every class. She was not lacking effort. She was confusing time near books with actual learning. The fix is simple: when focus drops, stop, take a 5 minute rewarding break, then return. That reset makes a massive difference.
He also destroyed the myth of highlighting and re reading. Recognition is not the same as recall. To prove it, he read 13 random letters. Almost no one remembered them. Then he turned them into “Happy Thursday.” The entire room recalled them instantly. The brain stores meaning, not repetition.

This is why elaborative encoding works so well.

Finally, he shared the most important principle: 80 percent of study time should be active recitation. Close the book and explain the material in your own words. Teach it to someone else or an empty chair. Retrieval is where real learning happens.

His closing line stuck with me: If this information does not change your
behaviour, you have not actually learned it.

The best students do not study more hours. They stop confusing the feeling of studying with the reality of learning.

🚨 These two treatments combined are REMARKABLE for chronic pain & peripheral neuropathy.

A registered nurse with 30 years of experience treating pain says she saw TEN TIMES the positive effects after mixing DMSO with castor oil. Castor oil alone has strong anti-inflammatory properties… but adding DMSO turned it into something else entirely.

Why? DMSO isn’t just a treatment — it’s a powerful carrier. It pulls nutrients and medications straight through the skin barrier deep into the tissues where relief is needed most.

She literally said the results “got interesting” once she combined them. The difference was night and day.

DMSO + Castor Oil = game changer for neuropathy and hard-to-treat pain.Have you tried this combo?
