Thanks for highlighting Dr Jay's work - I did hear him mention you and was pleased.

Just pointing out your typo: Brandy's quote: "Injection vs ingestion", ie, meaning intramuscular injection past the immunological boundary is very different from the usual way we are introduced to "other" via our gut, lung or skin boundaries.

Thank you!

There were other typos too. That was the worst. Fixed. I appreciate your 'pointing'. I was busy with other things and rushed to publish to attend the next post.

Thanks for the mention, now I'm famous! I did a 10 minute talk introducing Dr Jay's work to my local freedom in the park group last week. It went well and we had some questions. A metaphor had come to me the day before which helped me structure the presentation: when they're organising a global biosecurity coup, what's needed? The sheep herders of course, then some goat herders for the unruly goats who don't believe the sheep herders; but then there's always some cats who smell a rat in the stories of the goat herders...how do we tell the difference between a goat herder and a cat?...The goat herders will not talk about....

I've just corrected the typos in my reply comment!

Famous? I think a few thousand more Subscribers are required, but step by step.

Crickey, I hadn't considered a difference between sheep and goat herders. I simply don't like syringes, so whether it's trans or fection or gestion, me no want.

I'm still reeling from the Trump / green goblin press conference. We have Ukrainian and LGBT flags flying alongside the British Union Jack outside our local county council HQ. These are the same twerps who insisted we follow covid1984 instructions. I'm sure Dr. Jay views it all a staged drama, but it was such a refreshing change after 4 years of Biden to see a US President able to conduct a press conference. I have zero fear of Putin. It's my own bloody government that concerns me.

This is what I posted in response to that entertaining "press" conference.

I get Zelensky confused with this gentleman.

Thank you for your work Ned!

FINALLY some (new to me) art I like - I've searched for years for any new artists whose illustrations I like, and who do not use disney cartoon colors.

It's been a ghastly nightmare for a few decades, at least here in the US.

Every time I see what children, especially, are being subjected to, I think of hell.

Your work reminds me of EH Shepard, Erik Blegvad and NM Bodecker.

I've been listening to JJ since he was on his bike - and am so glad to meet you through his work.

Thank you for your comment.

I used to paint: https://turkiye1923-2023.com/

I used to love Disney cartoons.

I confess, I don't know EH Shepard, Erik Blegvad or NM Bodecker. I do my doodles and pay little heed to other art or artists anymore. Covid1984 changed everything; I could not believe how so many submitted to such nonsense.

I only came across Jay via Dr. Paul Alexander's Substack some months ago. There's something compelling about his programmes and material. I am still digesting the term transfection, not that I've partaken in injections since I was a boy, but I'd just never heard the term. Also, I'm rather jealous at his apparently way with IT and technology. This Substack is about my standard.

Yours is a different name!

My name is Jill - I just used the Cyrillic spelling on substack because of other Jills I didn't want to be confused with. (Like some Karens might wish to not have that name in the past few years.)

That's interesting you found JJ from Dr Paul's work. I've always liked Dr Paul since I saw an early interview with him explaining children's immune systems back in 2021, and I watched every minute I could of everyone and everything happening in Canada in Jan./Feb 2022, and Dr Paul was certainly there.

Transfection is a term I too am still learning, after 3 years! I always just say injection for simplicity. (And now have to distinguish between intramuscular, intravenous, subcutaneous......... sigh).

Thank you for sharing your painting - I very much like your "doodles". I like whimsy and watercolours best, I guess. My grandfather painted and I used to draw a little.

I have not yet explored your work or if you have some for sale, I've been a bit short on time lately.....But impulsively had to thank you because of the reasons I said, and the great relief of finding art my eyes actually liked.

E.H.Shepard did Winnie the Pooh books and others.

Re: intramuscular, intravenous, subcutaneous......... oh wow, noting those to search the difference.

Winnie the Pooh illustrations are lovely. Mine are as quick as I can for geo-political immediacy purposes. I do have illustrations that are more sophisticated and spent more time on, but Substack is a relatively new venture and I try to execute as quickly as I can.

I'm a Jeremy Ned. In England Jeremy could be Jermany, Jerry, Jezza, Jerry etc. It was also associated with poofs and ponces. One day fellow school students found out my middle name was Ned, after my Granddad, thought it funny, but for me it was simple and perhaps more masculine. Been a Ned for years since. In Scotland it's a derogatory term, like idiot. Oh well, such is life.

Oh I'm glad you discussed your name - you must have read my mind - I had thought about remarking on how much I like the name Ned, so much in fact, that I named my second son Ned.

He's long been an adult, though, and has never gone by his first name (Ned), but only by his middle name Drinnan. Your classmate thought it a funny name, and you say it's a "derogatory term" in Scotland. I think my son has always felt it's not a cool enough name here in the US.

But I like it!

I think Jeremy is a great name too.

I very much like the subject matter of your work, the bit I've seen, and think your illustrations, quick or not, are great as I've said.

I confessed my preference for watercolours....may I ask what medium you use?

How funny this middle name connection. I've not heard of a Drinnan before.

Tell your son an English artist with the coolest name Ned put an image of Ataturk's eyes upon the steps of Ataturk's mausoleum Anitkabir to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Gallipoli and it was the first time Anitkabir was opened to the public for 24 hours.

Pen ink, water colours and acrylic paint on A4 gsm card at my desk. Very simple.

You should maybe take a look at phages then ask yourself why the baily's never talk about them.

A bacteriophage (/bækˈtɪərioʊfeɪdʒ/), also known informally as a phage (/ˈfeɪdʒ/), is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria and archaea.

I've never heard of this, but then I'm not an academic biologist.

Dare I ask, how do we know it is?

We can isolate, purify and even take photos of them. Also take photos of them doing their thing. You can also get some yourself using an unglazed porcelain pot just like they did in the late 1800's.

Oh boy, if so, I can illustrate them.
