There’s a particular kind of number that stops you.
Nicolas Hulscher gave me one this week. His team at the McCullough Foundation took the FDA’s own briefing document — the one prepared for the officials who voted to approve the new mRNA flu shot — and ran the risk-benefit calculation the FDA didn’t run.
To prevent one hospitalization from influenza, two people had to die of unexplained causes. Around four thousand had to suffer an adverse event. About three hundred had to suffer a disabling grade 3 reaction, the kind that stops you from carrying on with your day.
That’s not an activist’s estimate. That’s their data, arranged the way any honest regulator would have arranged it.
The risk ratio for unexplained deaths came out at 2.55 — two and a half times more death with the mRNA product than with the traditional flu shot. And that ratio appears nowhere in the FDA’s document. Hulscher’s word for the omission was fraudulent. He was careful about it. He said they were supposed to do that comparison, as far as he’s aware, and they didn’t.
They approved it anyway.
I asked him the only question that matters here. How? How does an agency that exists to protect the public sign off on that?
His answer was blunt: they’re captured. Particularly by Moderna. He said someone must have given those officials large sums of money, because he can’t find another explanation. One of the key people involved in the approval has spent his entire career working on gene therapy injections.
We’ve all watched the revolving door for years now. You work at the FDA, then you work at Pfizer, then you’re back. I asked whether that’s still a regular occurrence. “Very regular,” he said. “Very, very regular.”
Can they be unbiased?
“They can’t be. It’s impossible, literally.”
The industry that doesn’t want to cure you
We opened on cancer, and I’m glad we did, because it sets up everything else.
Calgary spent something close to a billion dollars on a new cancer institute. Beautiful building. And the treatments inside it are the same treatments we’ve been running for decades — chemotherapy and radiation, at over a hundred thousand dollars per patient per year, with results that don’t justify the price.
Hulscher’s point isn’t that no one is trying. It’s that the only things that get approved are the things somebody can own. Patentable biologics. Gene therapies. Immunotherapies. Anything you can’t put a fence around never makes it out of the lab.
He gave me an example I hadn’t heard. Health Canada approved a clinical trial for dandelion root in cancer. The animal work was startling — implant mice with human tumours, give them dandelion root, and the tumours don’t grow. Human trials were supposed to follow.
They never happened. It “mysteriously never happened,” as he put it.
Meanwhile cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the world and the rates keep climbing. Whatever we’re doing isn’t working. It is, however, generating large profits.
And now Moderna is out on a media tour promoting an mRNA cancer shot for melanoma, without publishing data. Same platform. Same lipid nanoparticles that travel to every organ system. Except instead of telling your cells to make spike protein, this one tells them to make tumour neoantigens — mutated tumour proteins — which then get expressed on your heart muscle cells and your neurons and flagged for destruction by your own immune system.
They gave people the shot that produced turbo cancer. Now they’re selling the shot that’s supposed to fix it.
Sixty-four million mosquitoes
We changed gears to something I hadn’t expected to be talking about in 2026.
Google — the company that opened with “don’t be evil” as a mission statement — has filed an experimental use permit with the EPA to release tens of millions of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes into the wild in California and Florida. Hulscher’s figure was 64 million. He called it one of the largest open-air biological experiments in American history.
The stated purpose is suppressing mosquito-borne illness. In Florida there have been roughly five West Nile cases. Hulscher isn’t sure what’s being suppressed.
What he is sure of is the ecology. Birds, bats, frogs and fish eat mosquitoes. Knock out the mosquitoes and you knock out their food source, and that cascades.
He’s also sure of the business model, and this is the part worth sitting with. Google already did a smaller release in Fresno. It worked — the population dropped. Then they stopped, and the mosquitoes came roaring back within a season.
Which means the product isn’t mosquito suppression. The product is a subscription. Contracts with municipalities and states, renewed every year, forever, because the moment you stop paying, the problem returns. That’s the end goal: a release program in every state.
Gates has been at this longer. He funds Oxitec, which released millions of GM mosquitoes in the Florida Keys. He funds the World Mosquito Program, which has put billions of bacteria-infected mosquitoes into the environment worldwide.
The difference now is that a web browsing company is doing it on U.S. soil.
Where the viruses went
Remember hantavirus? Ebola? H5N1?
Hantavirus is done. Dead-end outbreak, over months ago, and Hulscher says he predicted it would be a dead end shortly after it started. Secretary Kennedy later confirmed it. The fear campaign was intense and it was for nothing.
Ebola is still being pushed as the worst outbreak ever. What doesn’t get said is that it isn’t going to become a pandemic. Ebola spreads through infected bodily fluids. It spreads in the Congo because the infrastructure isn’t there and people share rooms and treatment is limited. There have been thirty or forty Ebola outbreaks in thirty years, most of them in the Congo. This is not new.
So why run the cycle?
Because fear is the funding mechanism. The more fear, the more support for developing vaccines, and the more likely people are to take them when they arrive.
Then Hulscher dropped the detail that made the whole thing click. They began developing mRNA Ebola shots for the Bundibugyo strain a few months before that outbreak was declared.
You can’t make that up.
Create the fear, sell the fix. We’ve watched this play run so many times it should be embarrassing to still be describing it.
The good news, and he offered it himself: not as many people are buying it. A large number have woken up. We’re in a better position than we were five or six years ago.
The house of cards
Last item, and it’s a big one.
The researcher whose name sits on the study regulators and the American Academy of Pediatrics have used for two decades to say vaccines don’t cause autism is expected to plead guilty to money laundering and wire fraud. He’s accused of stealing more than a million dollars in CDC grant money — money earmarked for autism and genetic disorder research.
He was indicted over a decade ago and spent years as a fugitive. He was on HHS’s most wanted list. Germany extradited him back to the U.S. and he’s been in federal custody since.
I asked Hulscher the obvious question. Does the fraud touch the science?
He was careful. He can’t prove statistical manipulation. But he said if the man was stealing at that scale through grant fraud, it wouldn’t surprise him if the same hands were using statistical tricks or falsifying data to produce the result they wanted. His position: it needs to be investigated, and every paper carrying his name should now be in question — including the one in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Is it the card that pulls down the house, or is he a patsy so everyone else can say the mess has been cleaned up?
Hulscher doesn’t think they’ll be able to use him as an exit. But he might. They may try.
And on Fauci — the DOJ is talking about indictments. Hulscher’s read is that contempt of Congress is the easiest charge to land, since Rand Paul’s committee already voted to hold him in contempt and the criminal referral is submitted. Beyond that, prosecution requests have gone to fifty state attorneys general.
There are people online organizing a GoFundMe for his legal defence. He was the highest paid employee in the United States government. I think he’ll manage.
What’s next
Hulscher’s team is finishing a comprehensive paper on mRNA injections and cancer. They’ve identified 35 separate mechanisms by which these shots can induce or accelerate cancer, and they take apart the new mRNA cancer vaccines and explain why they’ll be hazardous and why they’ll fail.
Watch for it.
