I will introduce legislation for it to be a felony criminal act to use mRNA in the food and water supply with mandatory jail time... no exceptions.
It is proving to be a bio-weapon at best and a proven tool of genocide and suffering at worst.

Thanks to the work of Bill Gates and other psychopaths, soon absolutely everything we consume from vegetables, to dairy, to meat will contain mRNA, whether we like it or not.

Hello ****,
Because of MDPI’s longstanding predatory publishing tactics, and their willingness to publish papers without regard for reviewer concerns, I refuse to participate as a reviewer, author or editor. And I try my best not to cite MDPI journals.
For example, why would anyone want to publish in a journal affiliated with MDPI after seeing this paper get published in MDPI Vaccines? (There are many other examples like it)

I am a researcher studying viruses. I have contributed to the sequencing of more than a million genomes deposited in the GISAID database.
Last week I found that my access to bulk downloads from GISAID had been cut off without cause or explanation. [1/3] This is part of a pattern of arbitrary suspensions of GISAID features that have happened to numerous researchers. These actions have real consequences for our ability to study pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 and to contribute to public health. [2/3] It is bizarre that this key global infrastructure for pathogen sharing is subject to unpredictable gatekeeping with no clear policies.
GISAID announced that it would set out reforms in the "coming weeks and months". That was in May: any news?
