Ego, ambition, and turmoil: Inside one of biotech’s most secretive startups
STAT ^ | Sept. 13, 2016 | Damian Garde

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — At first glance, Moderna Therapeutics looks like the most enviable biotech startup in the world. It has smashed fundraising records and teamed up with pharmaceutical giants as it pursues a radical plan to revolutionize medicine by transforming human cells into drug factories.

But the reality is more complicated.

A native of France, Bancel earned a master’s in chemical engineering from the University of Minnesota and an MBA from Harvard in 2000. As Harvard Business School classmates rushed to cash in on the dot-com boom, Bancel laid out a plan to play “chess, not checkers.”

He peppers his speech with Silicon Valley buzzwords, many of which are scrawled on a giant whiteboard in his spacious office. Messenger RNA “is like software,” he explained: If it works in one disease, it should work for thousands.

An MBA who climbed the ladder through sales.

The relentless push is explained.

The article is from 2016, before the coof.

So it can’t be a hit piece over the coof.

And it was before Trump was elected, so not a Trump-inspired hit piece.

Read. Every. Word.

“ Read. Every. Word.”
***************************
Well, I Read. Every. Word. And the article reinforced my understanding that Moderna is led at the top by an executive who expects excellence and results. And he holds staffers accountable to those standards and expectations.

I guess you find that leadership style unacceptable. Do you work for government where the “I’m takin’ my sweet time” ethos prevails?

Lying through your foul teeth as usual.

From the article:

Most stunning to employees was the abrupt departure of Joseph Bolen, who came aboard in 2013 to lead Moderna’s R&D efforts.

Bolen was a big-name hire in biotech circles, an experienced chief scientific officer who had guided Millennium Pharmaceuticals to FDA approval for a blockbuster cancer drug. He’d been profiled in The Scientist, which dubbed him “the people’s CSO” for his ability to keep morale high and research focused. Landing him was a coup.

But two years into his tenure at Moderna, he abruptly stepped down last October, making no public statement save for changing his LinkedIn status to “resigned.”

“No scientist in his right mind would leave that job unless there was something wrong with the science or the personnel,” said a person close to the company at the time.

Moderna’s technology promised to subvert the whole field, creating therapeutic proteins inside the body instead of in manufacturing plants. The key: harnessing messenger RNA, or mRNA.

The idea of hijacking cell machinery to manufacture complex chemicals is great, except why human cells? Who wants to use their body as a hard-to-control chemical factory? The reactions in different people are always going to be unpredictable.

Delivery — actually getting RNA into cells — has long bedeviled the whole field. On their own, RNA molecules have a hard time reaching their targets. They work better if they’re wrapped up in a delivery mechanism, such as nanoparticles made of lipids. But those nanoparticles can lead to dangerous side effects, especially if a patient has to take repeated doses over months or years.

Novartis abandoned the related realm of RNA interference over concerns about toxicity, as did Merck and Roche.

Today, La Quinta Columna has made an urgent announcement that they hope will reach as many people as possible, especially those involved in health and legal services, as biostatistician Ricardo Delgado, Dr. José Luis Sevillano and the team of researchers and professors with whom they have been conducting their research have confirmed the presence of graphene oxide nanoparticles in vaccination vials.

I worked in biotech for about ten years. It is a volatile field. Not unusual for leadership to change rapidly and even the organizations to shut down suddenly.

The ones I worked for are all gone.
Invitron, Synergen, Oncogen.

And here is the woman who figured out how to make it work.
The author behind mrna vaccines.

Its a great read, I think.

And there is no doubt that this is a vaccine rollout with one of the worst serious side effects in the history of the USA vaccine programs.

And what did Peter Daszak say? He said, “Until an infectious disease crisis is very real, present, and at an emergency threshold, it is often largely ignored. To sustain the funding base beyond the crisis, we need to increase public understanding of the need for MCMs such as a pan-influenza or pan-coronavirus vaccine.

A key driver is the media and the economics follow the hype. We need to use that hype to our advantage to get to the real issues. Investors will respond if they see profit at the end of process.”

And they have people CONvinced that they needed this shot, and they have plans for repeating with boosters. And just think, of all the data they are getting from the people participating and essentially being human guinea pigs.

Without this EUA, it might have been years before they could get sufficient safety from animal studies to even begin such trials in humans.

A shot that is based on a computer generated code uploaded by the CHINESE and given to Moderna to put into an injection of a pathogenic stimulant that is to be shot into the arm of the American population.

And we do not know the long term impact on this generation, or even the generations yet to be born-if any. And the military being among the first to be mandated to take the shot.

What could possibly go wrong? SMH

With the association of Fauci with Moderna, it is hard to believe there is nothing more than the SALE OF VACCINES, that is important.

Moderna could have a patron saint as their spokesperson, and I would NOT accept them as ligitimate.

I assume this is a reference to the initial DNA sequence shared by the Chinese. If so it’s highly misleading.

We do know some about the long term impact of having had covid, however.

***************************************************************************
Crap-you call THAT long term? I am talking at least 5 or 6 years and generations. And what the heck good does the FauxVax do?

Does it prevent the disease? No

Does it prevent transmission of the disease? no.

But it may reduce symptoms-so that you don’t know you are sick and get to be like the guy that infected 60 people?

And from what we are learning, the FauxVax has very similar problems for the short period it has been used.

And interestingly, young men who had almost zero risk from the disease it self, are having really bad impacts on their hearts. Gee what a coinky dink.

What a CON - if the quote straight from the horse’s mouth, that creep Daszak doesn’t wake you up, then congratulations, you have been CONvinced to continue to pedal the hype that he wanted to inflate the profits/investors and insure a forever JAB in every arm in perpetuity.

We are at WAR. A shot in the arm or a shot to the head, either way, the result is disabled or dead.

I do not agree with what you said and I’ll just leave it at that.

AZSTRAZENECA:

While the Jenner Institute is the official developer of the shot, the actual patents and royalty rights for the AstraZeneca shot are held by a private company called Vaccitech, which was founded by Hill and Gilbert. Vaccitech’s investors include:

>Google Ventures
>The Wellcome Trust, which has longstanding links to the eugenics movement
>The British government
>BRAAVOS, a capital investment company set up by a Deutsche Bank executive.
BRAAVO’s investment is partially hidden, as BRAAVO is the main shareholder of Oxford Science Innovation, which in turn is invested in Vaccitech

>Chinese interests, including a Chinese bank branch and a drug company called Fosun Pharma

All of these investors stand to profit from this “vaccine” at some point in the near future

CORRECT

mRNA is software.

I refuse to let these dweebs replace, modify or otherwise update my G-d give software.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS THE WORLD’S FIRST HUMAN SOFTWARE PATCH WILL BE PERFECT?
