While the mass media breathlessly covers the MV Hondius — a Dutch-flagged expedition ship now quarantined off Cape Verde with multiple confirmed hantavirus cases — few are aware that there are currently13 documented hantavirus vaccine and gene therapy programsin active development:
6 DNA “vaccines”(US Army / USAMRIID) — many of them “needle-free” jet-injector versions
3 mRNA “vaccines”(Moderna + Korea University, Chinese research team, VIDO Canada)
2 viral vector “vaccines”(UK institutions + VIDO Canada)
1 inactivated vaccine(Hantavax — already licensed and used in South Korea)
1 protein subunit vaccine(VIDO Canada)
The US Army hantavirus DNA “vaccines” are not vaccines. They are literally plasmid DNA gene-therapies. Each one contains lab-made circular DNA (plasmids) carrying the hantavirus M-segment genes that code for the virus’s surface glycoproteins (Gn and Gc). When injected (often with a needle-free jet injector or electroporation device), your own cells absorb the DNA, read it like a blueprint, and start manufacturing the pathogenic hantavirus proteins themselves.
Needless to say, I will NOT be lining up for experimental military-grade gene therapy the Army has been tinkering with for over 20 years.
