In order for us to evolve into who we are, we had to adapt and work together.
Symbiogenesis
You are less human than you think you are.
You are made up of trillions of microorganisms.
I am not talking about the billions of microorganisms that live on your epithelial spaces (like your skin, nose, gut, etc).
I am talking about the microorganisms that live inside your cells.
What happened were one bacteria ate another bacteria, and created a much more adaptable cell.
Classic biology calls these organelles, but there is a history as to how we have these organelles. R
For example, mitochondria are a prokaryotic archaebacteria that symbiotically made its way into other other bacteria.
This allowed for single cell organisms to be able to produce a LOT more energy, giving enabling conditions to create multicellular eukaryotic organisms.
Another example of symbiogenesis are cyanobacteria symbiotically forming with prokayrotes to create chloroplast organelles in plants in able to be able to photosynthesize.
Retroviruses
Let's talk about retroviruses.
Retroviruses are essentially RNA based viruses that infected any of the gamete cells: a sperm cell, egg cell (ovum), or the combination (in its zygote stage) and then created a new genetic DNA code for that offspring. R
This can be an amazing part of evolution!
100-200 Million Years Ago
For example, 100-200 million years ago there was a shrew-like creature that either their egg or sperm had gotten infected with an RNA virus and it gave that offspring the miraculous ability to grow a placenta! R
With this fantastic ability of having a placenta, eggs could now attach to the uterus, and create a womb, and thus the egg grows inside, instead of outside.
That was a huge evolutionary advantage: getting protection and nutrients directly from the mother.
She also didn't need to stay in 1 place to watch her eggs and could migrate.
I can write out a whole book on this lol.
~400 Million Years Ago
Another example of this phenomenon was 400 million years ago, a RNA virus infected another gamete cell and gave the ability for neurons to form memory! R
So as you can see these can be hardware upgrades at the right timing and the right randomness.
Around three to four percent of our DNA consists of retroviruses.
Vaccines Outsmart Evolution
I am a fan of vaccines and it is one of the coolest things that we've done to outsmart evolution.
Let’s talk about human evolution…
Homo sapiens lived together with Australopithecus afarensis, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Denisovans, chimps, etc - all at the same time. R R
They were all just as smart as each other, they had sex with each other, they foraged and shared food together, and all had the ability to create art/music, bury their dead, and build/share tools. R R
So Why Are We The Only Ones?
The reason why Homo sapiens won over the other humanoids, was that they had a better immune variations, a larger variety of foods during the last Ice Age, and a higher population. R
But, they also had viruses that they picked up from being the dominant species in Africa from Africa’s vast forests/jungles.
This is a story, similar to how the Spaniards killed off the Native Americans with their viruses.
It's funny because every time Homo sapiens tried to travel north, they ran into a Neanderthal and they exchanged viruses, or when Homo sapiens traveled northeast towards Eurasia, they ran into Denisovans and the same event happened, and all vice-versa.
Denisovans were able to live at high altitudes, because they had greater storage capacity for oxygen in their red blood cells due to larger spleens - the genetic change for the Denisovans are why Tibetans are able to live at a high altitude (with HIF gene alterations). R
If you want to learn about how evolution happened with great imagery, this is a great article from History.com as well as this article from Britannica.com.
Evolutionary Stereotypes
So, this is an example of a fallacy that has turned into a stereotype - it’s racist and sexist.
The stereotype came from the catholic Church and I'm not trying to be anti-theological here, I like factualities.
Essentially conservative paleontologist (3 catholic priests) in 1908 gave the bones of a Neanderthal skeleton they found to the Catholic Church who later gave it to their Catholic friend Marcellin Boule, director of the Laboratory of Paleontology at Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, requesting he keep the conservative world-view to challenge Darwinism, as evolution was hot at that time (I mean it still is). R
Boule reconstructed the Neanderthal to look like a separate hominoid, rather than what they would have looked like, so he gave the skeleton a forward-jutting head, slouch-ing shoulders, hunched spine, bent knees, and even opposable toes. R
These types of stereotypes have happened with dinosaurs with the release of Jurassic Park, when in reality they looked more like big birds. R
My History With Vaccines
Anyway, I was vaccinated as a child and when I went to Africa a few years ago, I got like four or five vaccines.
I also got vaccinated before going to college.
I've never had any issues with vaccines until the covid ones came out.
I am trying to be apolitical here and explain this from a rationale side with a dash of science.
I wish I had known this before getting vaccinated, but I'm only human and humans learn through mistakes.
Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
How (Non-mRNA) Vaccines Cause Immune Reactions
Vaccines use haptens in order to stimulae the immune system and opsonization.
If you reacted to a vaccine and had after effects from it, it's most likely that you had microsepsis and endotoxemia.
The hapten they use for many vaccines (like rabies, HPV, etc) are based on Toll Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) agonists. R
For example, the HPV vaccine uses Monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) is a vaccine adjuvant that stimulates the body's cellular and humoral responses to vaccine antigens. R
It's a modified version of lipid A, the biologically active part of Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin. R
MPLA has similar immunostimulatory activity to LPS, but with reduced toxicity.
Covid Vaccines
When the covid vaccines first rolled out I got ModeRNA and its respective booster (for the first set).
The booster really fucked me up and give me pain from my head running all the way down my spine which to me felt like meningitis.
Since then, I have not gotten another vaccine for covid and here is my rationale.
Covid vaccinations are double-edged sword.
The companies deciding what targets to base the covid vaccinations on, chose the spike protein, which cleaves the glycocalyx and leaves you open to junction dysfunction.
That sucks that the only way to become vaccinated for covid is two options: the first option is to get RNA phospholipids encased in bio-corona nanoparticles (written in 2018 - archived link from summer 2019) that replicates through your endoplasmic reticulum (ER) into the spike protein, or the other option is a dead spike protein mimetic.
On the other hand it trains your immune system to recognize covid.
This is why you see extreme on both sides of the spectrum.
I really wish they had chosen some other part of virus to target, but I believe at the time they didn't know this information, and maybe they don't even know it now.
If I were to get another vaccine (like novavax), I’d be taking DIM with it (you can read my post on DIM here).
Who knows?
More Problems With RNA Vaccines
Not trying to draw conspiracy theories here, as I don’t think there is an agenda for this.
One issue I have with RNA vaccines has been their relation to mutagenecity, cancer, and autism.
If those RNA replicate hybrids are able to get into the gamete cells, like we discussed earlier, that predisposes to mutations and is essentially creating a hybrid retrovirus. R R
If a woman were to get RNA vaccinated, especially around the time of getting impregnated, there is the chance of mutagenic reactions.
It is also possible that the RNA could infect an ova (immature ovum) months or years before it's ready to cook in its cycle to travel down the fallopian tube into the uterus, etc.
Females are born with all of their eggs, while men turn over their sperm around in 64-70 day cycles. R
RNA Vaccine ≈ Evolution
So, when people are continually getting RNA injections, it makes me think about evolution, whether that is making someone more susceptible to new epigenetic issues in their offspring
Not to mention the spike protein-glycocalyx target.
I'm curious and fascinated to see how this will affect our evolution.
Who knows, maybe someone could create a RNA vaccine that could give and improve our offspring some amazing hybrid retrovirus human upgrade instead!
This is different than CRISPR.
