Hello Gentle People:

  Many of you have been vaccinated at least twice against SarsCov2, otherwise known as Covid-19. Here is some new information for everybody who believes they are protected.

 The vaccines do protect against Covid-19 but do not provide as much protection against the new Delta variant and you can still become very sick if you catch the disease, especially if you are frail and elderly. Do not let your guard down or remove your masks too quickly. Wait for the hospitals to give the all clear signal.

 The reason the vaccines provide less protection against the variants is because they are designed to detect the protein spikes on the round Covid-19 virus. A variant of Covid-19 creates different protein spikes and thus requires a new vaccine. The game is called catch-up to the changing virus and an expert virologist who understands this game and who has created a friendly virus capable of interfering with the deadly virus and possibly all deadly viruses, works with his laboratory colleagues in the United States. His name is Leor Wineberger.  

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED SO FAR!

 GENTLE PEOPLE:

   LIKE THOUSANDS OF JOURNALISTS AROUND THE WORLD, I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE PROGRESS OF VACCINE RESEARCH IN THE MOST HIGHLY SUBSIDIZED LABORATORIES AROUND THE WORLD...ONLY TO BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SLOW AND OFTEN NEGATIVE RESULTS PRODUCED BY THOSE SAME LABORATORIES. THIS IS ABOUT TO CHANGE, HOWEVER, AS THANKS TO  PROFESSOR LEOR WEINBERGER, THERE IS NEW HOPE ON THE HORIZON! I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY PROGRESS HAS BEEN SO SLOW AND IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE LABORATORIES BUT THE NATURE AND ABILITY OF VIRUSES TO MUTATE, SURVIVE AND INFECT. 

 THE SARS-COV-2 OR COVID-19 VIRUS ENTERS A HUMAN CELL AND HIJACKS THE REPLICATION MACHINERY OF THE CELL, SILENTLY REPLICATING ITSELF AND INFECTING MORE HUMAN CELLS AND THEN PROVOKING A DANGEROUS IMMUNE RESPONSE...

  NOW, HOWEVER,  IT WILL BE POSSIBLE, USING CAS 9 AND CRISPR, TO REPROGRAM AND CREATE GOOD VIRUSES THAT WILL DO THE EXACT SAME THING TO NASTY VIRUSES WITHOUT PROVOKING AN IMMUNE RESPONSE THAT KILLS BOTH THE VIRUS AND THE HUMAN CELL. 

 WHAT I HAVE LEARNED RECENTLY IS THAT DANGEROUS VIRUSES: REPLICATE, MUTATE AND TRANSMIT AND UP UNTIL RECENTLY, THE HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED VACCINES CREATED TO COMBAT HIV, FLU, AND SARS-COV2,  DO NOT REPLICATE, MUTATE AND TRANSMIT TO COMBAT THE KILLER VIRUS. 

  IT WAS AFTER TWENTY YEARS OF ALMOST BURN OUT EFFORT THAT PROFESSOR LEOR WEINBERGER AND HIS TEAM AT THE GLADSTONE INSTITUTE IN CALIFORNIA, DISCOVERED A METHOD TO CREATE AN ANTI-VIRUS VIRUS. A VIRUS SAFE FOR HUMANS BUT WHICH CAN: REPLICATE, MUTATE, AND HIJACK A DANGEROUS VIRUS AND THEN TRANSMIT ITSELF IN PLACE OF THE KILLER VIRUS, RENDERING THE KILLER VIRUS HARMLESS. THE POTENTIALLY EXCELLENT GOOD NEWS GOING ALONG WITH THIS DISCOVERY IS HOW THIS NEW FORM OF SELF-TRANSMITTING VACCINE CAN BE USED FOR ALL THE DANGEROUS VIRUSES AND NOT ONLY FOR THOSE MENTIONED ABOVE. THE CATCH 22 IS AS USUAL THE NECESSITY TO MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE THIS NEW METHOD IS SAFE FOR USE. THE POSSIBILITY TO ERADICATE VIRAL CREATED DISEASES AROUND THE WORLD IS CLOSE...VERY VERY CLOSE!

"Viruses mutate and spread from person to person, a dynamic process that often leaves us playing catch-up when there's a new disease outbreak. What if vaccines worked the same way? Virologist Leor Weinberger shares a scientific breakthrough: "hijacker therapy," a type of medical treatment that could attack, modify and spread alongside a virus, potentially treating afflicted individuals and slowing the spread of infections like HIV."

• Leor Weinberger and his team have developed novel therapies with profound implications in depriving infectious diseases, in particular HIV, of the ability to replicate.
