Happy 134th birthday to humans knowing that viruses exist! OTD in 1892 Dmitri Ivanovsky presented his evidence of a tobacco mosaic disease caused by filterable agents (not bacteria!). Martinus Beijerinck confirmed this independently in 1898. And voila, virology is born!

An approved mRNA flu vaccine will undermine the $500M non-peer-reviewed research project that Bhattacharya gave to his buddies Memoli and Taubenberger to develop vaccines with an outdated, inactivated virus approach. Connect the dots.
It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines.
