00:00:00.000 Normally, you know, conventional vaccines had either an altered virus or a dead virus or a fragment of a virus that or a bacteria or whatever you were being, you know, of some disease organism that was injected into your body so that your body would then recognize it when the real thing attacked you.
00:00:20.020 And but there is no part of any virus in this. This is a computer-generated gene sequence made purely in a laboratory that is injected into you. So this is gene therapy. This, you know, this is unlike anything that the world has ever seen before.
00:00:40.280 Right. Basically, everybody, you know, that's participating in this is basically a lab rat at this point. And whether they've received the placebo or the real deal depends if they've had and you know, it's brilliant what they did, we can give it give them that every trial has to have placebo.
00:00:58.600 So it's my understanding that there's the placebo group, which they made larger than those actually taking the injection, because if everybody had adverse effects and died, or, you know, was being in a trauma state with their with their physical body, then nobody everybody would have backed off right away.
00:01:16.660 But we have all those smug people walking around saying, well, I took the injection, and I'm fine. And I'm always saying, well, you should get down on your knees and thank the good Lord, because you most likely got the placebo. Because I don't believe that anybody that isn't either having a reaction who got the watered down version of this, or the real deal had the extreme reactions. I believe that's what's going on. What do you have to say about that?
00:01:41.360 Yeah, I mean, there's some there's some indication now that up to a third of all the doses being given are placebos. And I think I think it's exactly as you say, I think it's to, it's to give people confidence that it's not harmful. So that people can say, well, you had a bad, well, mine was fine, it must be just something wrong with you. You know, it wasn't the shock, because I had mine was good, you know, I didn't have any reaction. So I think it's, yeah, I think it's a tactic.
00:02:11.360 To reassure people.
