In January, the UK Government announced a new partnership to boost research into vaccines for cancer. From as early as September, UK patients will be among the first in the world to participate in trials of the new mRNA cancer “vaccines.”
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) [6 January 2023] announced a formal collaboration with BioNTech SE to accelerate research into using its vaccine technology against cancer, and test personalised mRNA therapies on NHS patients, which some experts are calling “revolutionary.”
New ‘Revolutionary’ Cancer Vaccine Research Hub Announced, Medscape UK, 6 January 2023
A memorandum of understanding was signed by the Health Secretary, Steve Barclay, to explore personalized mRNA vaccines with the German company BioNTech which co-developed the leading covid-19 “vaccine” with Pfizer.
BioNTech said that the collaboration focused on “three strategic pillars”: cancer immunotherapies based on mRNA or other drug classes, infectious disease vaccines, and expansion of BioNTech’s footprint in the UK as “one of the company’s key markets”.
This unique collaboration promises to deliver 10,000 personalized therapies to NHS cancer patients by 2030 through the creation of a “cancer vaccine launch pad.” A new center will open in Cambridge to coordinate both the science and clinical strategy.
Using mRNA to encode useful proteins in vivo has been around in the lab for years, Medscape reported. But the covid vaccine program driven by BioNTech and Moderna has shown how quick to produce and how potent mRNA-based products can be.
The second key factor driving this newfound optimism in immuno-oncology is the partial success of the checkpoint inhibitors pembrolizumab, nivolumab, atezolizumab, and ipilimumab in a wide range of cancers.
Medscape noted a third driver of interest in mRNA cancer “vaccines” to be the speed at which DNA sequence data can be obtained from clinical samples. What used to take weeks can be achieved in seconds and large datasets are compared instantly by sophisticated software. So, the mutations in an individual tumor can be mapped and the relevant mRNA constructs made and inserted into a suitable vector within days. Medscape’s article continued:
This technology will create a new way of working for big pharma. A whole new service culture will be needed – pathology services will need to curate and supply fresh tissue; hospital pharmacies will need to engage with new organisations to deliver bespoke vaccines and provide them to oncologists ready for injection. And there are many variables in terms of dose, timing, the use of checkpoint inhibitors to take the brakes off the immune response and, of course, the addition of more conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Will mRNA Cancer Vaccines Live Up to Their Promise? Medscape, 10 February 2023
BioNTech developed the known to be harmful covid injection which was then marketed by Pfizer. One of the effects of Pfizer-BioNTech’s covid injections is cancer. After ineffective and unsafe covid mRNA injections administered without informed consent, do you trust BioNTech and/or the system that promotes and supports its products to design and administer a “safe and effective” personalized mRNA injection for you?
What Will the Future Look Like?
Medscape’s article provided a prediction of what the future of cancer patients could look like. Doctors should be aware that their role is likely to become redundant and, in the future, they will merely serve as vaccinators.
The cancer patient of 2040 will have minimally invasive robotic surgery to remove their primary cancer and a full staging process by sophisticated imaging. Radiotherapy using artificial intelligence to optimize the treatment plan will be given if there is a significant risk of local recurrence.
Molecular analysis of the removed cancer will determine the risk of systemic spread. If high, a program of chemo-immunotherapy will be triggered. The individual pattern of antigen expression on the tumor will be evaluated by robotic analysis and an AI-generated series of mRNA sequences encoding the relevant epitopes generated. These will be taken from the curated repository and delivered in a suitable form for injection by the oncologist.
The service providers will be different from today. There will be local collectors of tissue and central laboratories run by today’s big pharma. Robots will identify and insert the appropriate sequences into vectors ready for injection into individuals. Maybe they will already be synthesized and stored in vials rather like the jars in an old-fashioned chemist’s shop. Everything will be based on a recurrence risk assessment. The oncologist will be provided with a printout of the sequences for injection and a week afterward a blood sample will be taken to verify a successful immune response to the translated epitopes.

In November 2021 we published an article that noted Sikora was one of the experts who refused to acknowledge that covid injections could be contributing to excess deaths. Instead, Sikora blamed a “backlog” in reporting and a “lack of access to health care” as the cause of deaths.
Karol Sikora is a Professor of Medicine at The University of Buckingham and an adviser to the World Health Organisation. He currently directs a cancer drug donation program in Africa. He is also a member of the Oncology Scientific Advisory Board at biopharmaceutical company Cyclacel Limited and serves as an oncology consultant for AstraZeneca.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
