As in all things, there are dimensions to our reality. As biomedical scientists discover greater and greater complexity, instead of elevating the nuance, they choose to focus on less and less. attempting to distill life forces down to simple units.
This is extremely convenient for purposes of tinkering and compiling data, yet inversely destructive to essential life function.
I recall several decades ago studying simple chemistry in school, and being struck with the fact that a molecule synthetically constructed from its elements, being identical to that of the living molecule, takes on a different three dimensional shape and therefore function than the real thing. In particular, the shape will be angular, less expanded, and static as opposed to smoothly curved, full of life, and dynamic. The essential effects of this difference are that the potential for the molecule to relate to other molecules is limited while its potential for getting stuck to and irritating other structures is great.
This exposure of what manipulation is, has always stayed with me, and has perhaps been a central catalyst of my interest in nature, natural health and disease, human nature, and the like.
Let’s look at the biochemistry of vaccines, from their inception to where we are today. The originals were based on whole live viruses. The body’s response to this exposure would be very similar to the actual disease process (though not identical…that is another topic). Now jump forward decades to the current vaccines, and in particular covid vaccines. Instead of a whole live virus, the vaccines introduce a code for a part of the virus. The resulting response to this will be a mono culture of antibody molecules, each having identical angular structure. This contrasts to the great variety of antibody molecules produced from natural exposure (or even to the original vaccines), each of which has a smooth and buoyant shape characteristic of living molecules.
There are real consequences to these differences. The response of a vaccinated person to the actual disease will in some ways appear stronger than natural immunity, and of course this is the main aspect being highlighted in the media and literature. The reasons for this are complicated, yet can be approximated by an analogy: whereas in natural immunity the weapons may be considered blunt yet having an intimate consideration for the whole virus, modern vaccine-induced immunity is like a sharp knife created to disable one “key” part of the virus. And so far this part has not mutated enough itself to evade the knife, despite overall changes to the virus as a whole (variants).
Yet this manufactured and more targeted approach to immunity ultimately comes at a great cost, when we consider its underbelly. First, the loss of motivation for the body to produce its own natural and varied antibodies, coupled with reliance on a mono-culture of antibodies with one shape and function (the knife), ultimately tips the balance of power in favor of viral (and other pathogenic) dominance. While this appears to be not as yet relevant to the latest threat of covid, in reality we are well into these effects, and covid-19 is simply getting the headlines. When it changes enough to warrant a change in the target for antibody production, we’ll have given it and its vaccines a new name.
This is bad enough, certainly enough for a poor prognosis for vaccine evolution. Yet there is more. Some of the more has already been prefaced above, in reference to the structural and behavioral differences between naturally created and manufactured antibodies. It has to do with the issue of adherence to, and irritation of other body tissues.
In recent decades we have experienced an explosion of so-called “auto-immune” diseases, whose signature is micro-inflammation caused by clogging of tissues by immune complexes. From joint swelling to skin lesions to vertigo to swollen glands to endocrine and organ disease, these immune complexes are being implicated. Essentially the more manufactured an antibody is, the greater its potential to itself become an antigen (toxin). In the scientific literature, there is virtually no precedent for natural antibodies to attach themselves to anything other than the target for which they were intended. Why, then, in just a blink of an evolutionary eye, is our newly minted immune system behaving this way? Why indeed.
Yet there is more. It is abnormal, and absurd, for immune responses to respiratory viruses to originate in muscle tissue and blood vessels, yet that is where the vaccines are introduced. Why would this be an issue? The short answer, already explained in more detail in my previous article (Both Sides of the Shot), is that it induces both an over-reaction of antibody response, and an under-reaction of the primary immune responses in the local lymphatics. Essentially this results in a compounding of the same scenario above, including an exacerbation of so called auto-immune conditions, and a compromise in proper immune function, which leaves us increasingly prone to the next viral challenge.
A secondary issue is the adjuvants that accompany the injected antigen, which can be added to the litany of toxins to which we are exposed in these modern times; one difference though, is that these toxins are being directly introduced into the blood stream. Again, see my previous article for a bit more on this.
Expanding the lens a bit, vaccine technology is simply in parallel with other technologies that are shaping medicine, food production and preparation, manufactured products of all kinds, social media, etc. Rather than being a nefarious plan, these trends, as irony would have it, appear to be an organic evolution. So, what’s there to do about it? While I don’t have a pat answer, the age-old concept of balance may be a way forward and through.
Consider the bare-boned activities that comprise our lives: eating/drinking, moving about, and sleeping. Surely every person realizes the need for some degree of balance among these things, to simply exist. Furthermore, the more attention and energy is spent in improving the quality of, and relationship between these things, the greater we may realize our potential and happiness.
So it is the same with all things. Take time spent sitting at a computer: this would fit into the category of “moving about” (it isn’t sleeping or eating/drinking). If we spend all of this moving about time sitting at the computer, I’d bet not one day would go by without a problem arising (numb butt, stiff body, jammed-up digestion, sore eyes, etc). So we get up and do something else…at least stretch and allow our eyes to relax their focus. It’s necessity at the least.
Yet there’s more to our lives than the necessities of survival. Fortunately, or not, we are not just animals. We made the computer. We made it with our unique gift of awareness, and it is that awareness which then must be counted as an essential part of our existence. Yet it isn’t simply another part, added to eating/drinking, moving, and sleeping. Rather, it infuses each of these things, guides them, and is an essential element in the outcome of our potential and happiness.
Back to vaccines. Where do they fit? It makes the most sense to consider them as a form of awareness; they contain information that guides the functioning of our defensive energies. So, the question becomes, how much of this defensive awareness, and its potential energy, is wise to delegate out to scientific tinkering, itself an increasingly narrow interpretation of reality? Some, maybe…in extreme circumstances, maybe, and with full disclosure that it may offer temporary benefit, with a guarantee of some degree of compromise down the line. But as a regular practice, across the entire population? Hmmm, that doesn’t strike me as a balanced approach.
While technology may continue to be in our face, it can never functionally define our face, because its awareness is essentially dead, and we simply break down to the degree we let it take over our reality. So, again, some degree of balance, involving our awareness, is called for, to at least prevent this breakdown, and to at most use technology for actually increasing our potential. The paradox seems to be: the lower the level of our technology (think cavemen), the lower is our freedom to expand our potential, while the greater the power of the technology, the greater it can destroy that potential. Again, balance is key, a dynamic balance informed by awareness.
Yes, it is work. Yes it more tempting to fire up the laptop than go for a walk, blah blah blah. This internal struggle is not new to this age. What is new is the degree to which we are now compromised, while facing the same choices. It is exponentially more difficult to get up off the couch when your being is truly compromised and addicted, vs just bored, out of shape, and distracted. This reality has shifted the dynamic. We are already over the edge as a population.
One scenario that may come to fruition, is that the trend will inexorably continue and burn itself out, along the way resulting in a massive reduction in functional human beings, and a resetting of the status quo with technology. That prediction is like extreme heat transforming to cold, a journey all the way around the circle back to the beginning (whatever that means). Entirely possible.
More likely, however, is that undercurrents of ever-present wisdom will steer the ship on a different course, one that runs more on awareness and a hunger for internal balance. We will continue to see and be aware of death, yet it will more clearly be related to events under our conscious control, and therefore better accepted, and even honored. Dying will take its place along the continuum of living as a natural event, hand-in-hand with the ebb of chronic disease from our new shores.
