Tea at Trianon: The mRNA Platform: What It Is, What It Means

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

The mRNA Platform: What It Is, What It Means

From Brownstone Institute:

The way mRNA works is not like the way any vaccine worked before. Formerly, vaccines were created by taking a weakened or dead form of the virus and injecting that into humans. The human body would create antibodies to fight and beat the weakened virus, thus giving the body the instructions to create antibodies against it if the full force virus were to ever attack. The individual was immune.

This is not what mRNA does.

The CDC literally changed the definition of vaccine so that mRNA fit the category. We saw this happen two years ago, comparing old and new versions of what they posted on their website.

Here was the definition on the CDC website in 2020:

Vaccines contain the same germs that cause disease . . . But they have been killed or weakened to the point that they don’t make you sick.

The new version became much more general, to include mRNA. Here is the current definition on the CDC website:

A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.

The first question you may ask is “Why would the CDC want to make it seem like this is just a standard old familiar technology? Why do they feel like they have to call it a vaccine? Are they trying to trick us into feeling comfortable? Why?”

mRNA is not a traditional vaccine, but it’s not new either. It is actually a thirty-year-old technology. You might remember there used to be this thing called “gene therapy” that no one talks about anymore. That’s what category this belongs to.

The original purpose of gene therapy was to give people the ability to have their own bodies produce something that they weren’t producing naturally, something that their bodies needed, like insulin for diabetics. The purpose was to make up for a deficiency that the body could not generate on its own.

The way it works is that an mRNA strand is constructed by using the genetic code of the thing you want to make. In turn, the mRNA strand that is generated in this way has all the instructions necessary to generate the protein you want.

But the technology had limitations. One thing that was noticed in the first few years of gene therapy is that it didn’t work for long. Multiple doses had to be supplied, and the conditions in the body had to be right. (Read more.)
