Stanford Medicine study shows why mRNA COVID-19 vaccine can cause myocarditis

Stanford Medicine investigators have unearthed the biological process by which mRNA-based vaccines for COVID-19 can cause heart damage in some young men and adolescents — and they’ve shown a possible route to reducing its likelihood.

Using advanced but now common lab technologies, along with published data from vaccinated individuals, the researchers identified a two-step sequence in which these vaccines activate a certain type of immune cell, in turn riling up another type of immune cell. The resulting inflammatory activity directly injures heart muscle cells, while triggering further inflammatory damage.

@AnwaltUlbrich (translated from German);

Six years after the global rollout of mRNA vaccines, established science is finally admitting what affected individuals, critical physicians, and independent researchers have been saying for a long time: the mechanism of action of these vaccines was fundamentally misunderstood from the very beginning. Anyone who said so until now was considered an outsider. Today, it is featured in Nature Biotechnology.

The Bombshell from Mount Sinai

On April 29, 2026, researchers led by Prof. Brian D. Brown, Director of the Icahn Genomics Institute at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, published the paper

“mRNA vaccine immunity is enhanced by hepatocyte detargeting and not dependent on dendritic cell expression” (Marks et al., DOI: 10.1038/s41587-026-03099-z).

The senior author himself summarizes the implications with a candor that is sure to raise eyebrows:

“This study fundamentally changes how we think mRNA vaccines work.”

And elsewhere: “That was unexpected.” — six years after billions of doses administered to humans. […]

The researchers documented:

1. massive T-cell infiltration into liver tissue (around 1,100 CD8 T cells per mm²)
2. significantly elevated liver values ALT and AST — the classic clinical markers for liver cell damage
3. a clear increase in apoptotic cells (Caspase-3 cleavage)

The authors state in the discussion with remarkable directness:

“It is possible, however, that muscle or hepatocyte damage may also occur with RNA-LNP treatments in multi-dose or CAR-T cell applications, which are difficult to detect but limit the therapeutic index by pushing up the dose ceiling.”

In plain English: Damage can occur — it’s just hard to find. This is something fundamentally different from the formula repeated for years: “safe and effective.”

KTLA;

The governor’s race includes a field of 61 candidates, with recent polling showing former California Attorney General and U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, a Democrat, leading the field, followed by billionaire Tom Steyer, also a Democrat, and British-born Republican commentator Steve Hilton.

The Democratic field also includes San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, former U.S. Rep. Katie Porter, and former L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco is the only other Republican in the race.

The Golden State’s “jungle primary” system places all candidates, regardless of political party, on the same ballot, but only the top two finishers advance to the general election.

California has not elected a Republican to statewide office since Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner.

In the nonpartisan race for L.A. mayor, incumbent Karen Bass is challenged by Councilmember Nithya Raman, reality TV star Spencer Pratt, Rae Chen Huang, and Adam Miller. Recent polling shows Bass narrowly leading Raman and Pratt, who received the endorsement of President Trump.

The polls opened at 7am and close at 8.

Inquiring minds want to know: what’s in it for court water carriers who engage in mindless cheerleading for the government of the day? It’s like the scene in The Holy Grail where the armless knight declares, “‘Tis but a scratch!”

Luckily, economists say there is more to a recession than just two quarters of negative growth — namely the 3 Ds — depth, duration and dispersion.

This decline is not even close on depth — amounting to just 0.6 per cent annualized over the two quarters, “barely a scratch in GDP terms,” said Robert Kavcic, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets in a note.

New Governor The Tolerant Left Tommy Douglas: Not Dead Enough 9 Comments

Montreal Gazette;

The chief of cardiac surgery at the Jewish General Hospital has tendered his resignation and plans to move to Atlanta in September, citing rising antisemitism in Montreal and worsening problems with the province’s health-care system, The Gazette can reveal.

Dr. Emmanuel Moss, who has worked at the Jewish General for the past 10 years, has already informed his patients and his synagogue of his imminent move to the United States. Moss’s departure from Montreal marks the second high-profile Montreal Jew — after Concordia University professor Gad Saad — to decide this spring to quit the city amid a sharp increase in documented antisemitic incidents in the past three years.

During a May 12 appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Saad announced he accepted a post at the University of Mississippi, where he had already worked as a scholar during a two-year leave of absence from Concordia. He spoke of death threats he received while at Concordia, saying, “I’m now leaving in large part because it became difficult for me, if not impossible, to be a high-profile Jewish professor who supports the right of Israel to exist.” […]

Reached by phone, Moss declined to give an interview or to explain his reasons for leaving Montreal. But sources close to Moss confirmed that he and his family had grown disillusioned with growing antisemitism in Montreal and what they viewed as a failure by authorities to crack down on incidents of Jew hatred — from physical assaults on Jews to vandalism of Jewish-owned businesses and the firebombing of synagogue entrances, as well as the firing of bullets at a yeshiva.

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and it’s important to remember the real victims in all of this.

A leading figure in the UK Sikh federation has told the BBC the community has been “demonised” after a university student was killed by a Sikh man using a religious knife.

Earlier this week, Vickrum Digwa was found guilty of murdering Henry Nowak after stabbing the Southampton University student with a ceremonial blade Sikhs are required by their faith to carry.

The bodycam footage of stabbing victim Henry Nowak’s arrest has been released.

Henry Nowak’s case is worse than you think – 60 of the 67 minutes which he spent dying in the street were in the custody of police officers. They broke basic rules of policing and PACE, denying him basic first aid and compassion because they falsely believed he was a racist.

Indeed. Who’s laughing now, Brantford Boomer?

The old white people aren’t MAIDing away as quickly as they’d hoped for;

The Carney government regularly describes its fiscal approach as “ambitious” and “transformational,” but in reality it’s simply perpetuating a fiscal decline that’s plunging Canada deeper into red ink. To truly transform federal finances, the Carney government must reduce spending, even in areas that are politically unpopular. And to truly be ambitious, it should start by reducing elderly benefits – Ottawa’s largest single spending item.

First, some context. The Carney government plans to run annual budget deficits ranging from $66.9-billion in 2025-26 to $53.2-billion in 2030-31. Cumulatively, this six-year period in the red represents $362.4-billion in borrowing. Over that same period, Ottawa’s total debt will rise from a projected $2.3-trillion, or 72 per cent of the economy, to more than $3-trillion, or 78 per cent of the economy.

According to the Carney government’s spring economic update, elderly benefits will grow faster than any other single spending item in the budget, except debt interest costs.

I just threw that graphic in there. For context.

An “as I was saying” update: A new academic study is calculating how much money the government could save by dramatically expanding euthanasia .. including “non-voluntary” scenarios for vulnerable people.

Literary World Unveils Doomsday Machine

Forward! The Arts 5 Comments

Fintan O’Toole, literary editor of the Irish Times, calls for a “national arts strike” to extort further cash from the taxpayer. “The public has to be reminded that it really does care,” says he. And until more wallets land on the bonfire of publicly funded art, the nation’s creative titans should “close the arts centres” and “hold no poetry readings.”

One of these.

Or some holiday resort:

Because, says Mr Gold, our pronoun-stipulating essayist, a sense of connection with one’s home, one’s territory, one’s ancestry and how one came to be, is “utterly arbitrary.” A thing of no importance, unworthy of consideration. Says he, or he/him, “The only sensible form of government is one-world government.”

You see, becoming even less important, even smaller in relation to the steering of the ship, one of billions instead of millions, is a good thing, it turns out. And that irrelevance is sensible, a thing to which the rest of us should apparently aspire. Star Trek, I fear, has much to answer for.

A glimpse into the mind of the scrupulously progressive.

According to her soon to be released memoir;

Jill recalled how “frightened” she was watching her husband ramble on about beating Medicare on the CNN debate stage. “I had never, ever, seen Joe like that—before or since,” she told CBS News. “I don’t know what happened. I mean, when I, as I watched it, I thought, ‘Oh my God, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death.”

Is that so? In the book, which purports to “set the record straight,” Jill recalls her first interaction with Joe as he walked off the debate stage. He wanted to know if he had “really f—ed up,” and she agreed that he had. Granted, I don’t have the ex-first lady’s medical background, but that seems like a harsh way to speak to a loved one who might be having a stroke. Unless she’s lying, which she is.
