The Highwire with Del Bigtree - ESTEEMED JAPANESE PROFESSOR SOUNDS THE ALARM ON OMICRON

Episode Date: October 13, 2023

Japanese researcher, Dr. Takayuki Miyazawa, took to the streets of Japan in an historic effort to convey information about research showing the Omicron variant may have been artificially synthesized.

We have an update on a story we did a couple weeks ago. This was a story of the Amicron variant. And remember, just for context, the Amicron variant came out of nowhere in 2021. This is a phylogenetic chart showing at the bottom there. That's the normal mutations happening of the alpha strain, the delta strain. Then this Omicron strain just shot up this red line comes out of nowhere, plants its flag in 2021 and becomes the dominant strain. And researchers and people around the world are going, where the heck this come from? how did it become so dominant? Like, what's happening? Well, two Japanese researchers actually did this

research. This is Dr. Atushi Tanaka and Dr. Takkiyuri Miyazawa. And they did this unnatural evolutionary process of SARS-CoB2 variants and possibility of deliberate natural selection. We covered that a couple of weeks ago. And they looked at nearly 400 Amacron variants. To track the mutations to try to reverse track the mutations to really find out where the heck did this come from. because there's these really forensic fingerprints in the genome you can track. And they published this chart. And this kind of tells the whole story. We covered this again two weeks ago.

You can go back to that broadcast. But there's this stepped process here. And this is not natural evolution. What they're seeing is, you know, it's almost as if it's like a panel of researchers we use to create and test what each mutation would do. So they turn on a mutation. They turn off a mutation. and to see what type of activity it does.

And the researchers, the two Japanese researchers, they actually had very gentle and unbiased conclusions given the data that they found. They basically said science at this point should not exclude the possibility of an artificially synthesized virus when discussing these mutation processes. I mean, this was an amazing story.

I just want to reiterate. This was a pre-print. You know, it's not published science, but these scientists believe in what they're saying. It's part of what you're going to get into. But I want to put it out there. show is not saying that this is a fact, but it is saying this is an alarming theory and discovery if it proves to be true. Okay. Go ahead. Yeah, absolutely. And the story is just as much as about

these two researchers trying to get other people to listen and to validate their data and to get this peer reviewed. So we did what we do best on this show, which is try to give doctors or researchers a platform. So I reached out to both of these doctors, these researchers, these research. to see if they wanted to come on the show. And this was one of their replies here. They said this, Mr. Jeffrey Jackson, thank you for your email. At first, I was hesitant to respond

because I wasn't sure if your email is genuine. I saw your program on Highwire. Thank you for featuring our paper on your show. And I also asked, you know, this is a pre-print. Have you tried to get it peer reviewed? And one of the researchers that wrote me back actually sent me what he received from what I can just say. from what I can just say at this point is a major scientific journal that they tried to get peer reviewed.

And this is what the journal wrote them back. This is what he sent to me. He says, quote, the reason for this decision is this manuscript has been withdrawn on behalf of the authors and is no longer under consideration for publication in this journal. During our initial checks, some issues were identified regarding potential inflammatory language in the manuscript. The authors have not amended this in line with the suggestions to make the text more objective. This prevents the manuscript from proceeding further into review. So these doctors held their line.

It's exactly what's happening, what we just talked about with this fluoride issue, right? You have a study, and everyone's saying, you better water it down. You better make it so it does not look at all like you were saying this stuff isn't safe. And these scientists like, look, we're just reporting what we're seeing. And we read the language in there. They were being so careful not to say, look, it looks like his lab created. But it sure looks like every variant had a human fingerprint. on it.

Absolutely. And so lo and behold, kind of out of nowhere, there was the 70th annual Japanese Society of Virology meeting. And these scientists are virologists. And they were asked to present at this meeting. Well, outside that meeting, one of the scientists took to the streets last week, and this is what it looked like. O'neighsmasmas, no, maweremosha.

No, no, I'm not going to be? 100 years ago, no, no one of the world. The virus, more than been made, and we're doing it, I thought I thought that I thought that I thought that

not, that's not that way that it's just to get it, this, this and the government completely not-trolled and

please, listen, you know, that you're people, you're not, people, people, this is,

Kyoto University to have to tell you here to here to get to people

to this is one of those moments folks. I mean, you can sit there, I mean, just tap in here, just check your

pulse and see, just think about what you just saw. This reminds me of Geert Bandon Boss when he first sent his letter out, saying, I beg of you, I implore everyone in the science community to listen to my call of my cry of distress. When it is A scientist leaves their laboratory, goes out and stands in Times Square and starts yelling

for everyone to listen to them because they're not being able to publish something. They've seen something and they want to try and save the children of Japan and essentially the world. Sure, guy might have just totally flown the coup. Or they are out of options and no one is listening and the powers that be have such control over the universities and the governments and anything you can do that what are you left to do? I mean, that is a scary moment. It's the opening of a Hollywood movie.

What is this crazy person? Oh, only one of the top scientists from the Kyoto Institute. Right, and so the Japanese language video of this video has received nearly 11 million views so far on Twitter. Wow. This is one of the individuals that was responsible

to helping Dr. Miyazawa there with the video. We reported on this, we broke this story at the high wire. This is the article here, top Japanese virologist warns of manufactured amacron strain. I put this article out last week. It has nearly 900,000 views on our Twitter. Wow. In one Japanese language Twitter post that I came across, it has 2.3 million views. And Dell, I just received an email this morning. I asked the researchers, you know, we're going to give an update on this. Is there anything that you would like to share? and they said, we are the only people, no one in Japan, the media in Japan did not cover Dr. Miyazawa's

demonstration in front of Sendai Station there that we just saw. There's a media blackout on this conversation. Literally the highwire is leading this, and people from Japan are having to read the highwires or go to go on Twitter on X and look at this. The YouTube is not showing this. Nothing, no one's showing this. So this, now let's look at this doctor really quick. Dr. Miyazawa, the person that was standing out there,

just imploring people to listen to him. He is from Kyoto University, so is his co-author, Dr. Tanaka. This university ranks 46 in the world, according to this rating system. In this article, it says Kyoto University was one of Asia's leading research-oriented institutions and is famed for producing world-bitty researchers, including 13 Nobel Prize laureates. The motto of the school, which was founded in 1897, is Freedom of Academic Spirit. So let's go to Dr. Miyazawa's profile, just to give you an idea. This guy is not just, you know, an intern or something or a med student.

This is what he says on his profile at the university. We mainly study animal-derived viruses, especially feline retrovirus and endogenous retroviruses, their role in mammalian evolution and the safety of biologics and xenotransplantation. It's been about 15 years since I arrived at Kyoto. My dream is to eradicate infectious disease. How interesting is this, Del, because when you started ICAN, your dream, essentially, was to eradicate man-made disease. And here we are from across the world, from really across disciplines, you have this

scientists, and we are all meeting here in this story to understand where we're at right now. But Dr. Mirozawa goes on to say this. This just gives you an idea of the heart of this person. But more than anything, I want to uncover even just one impact that viruses have had on the evolution of living things. Then tumor control by endogenous retroviruses, I want to stop the metastasis of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, etc. And so here he is going from that directive of his life

to standing on a street corner, trying to get someone to look at his research paper. And so after he did that demonstration, he took to Twitter and he wrote this. No one would listen. So I raised my voice for the last 15 minutes or so. Is this reality, he says? It doesn't work if you speak quietly

and it doesn't work if you raise your voice. YouTube is no good. X is no good either. He says, we handed out flyers and held information sessions on the streets, but almost no one passed by, no one took our flyers, and almost no one would listen. I usually speak when there are people willing to listen to me, so I mistakenly thought that they were interested in me. I was shocked to see the reaction of the people in the town, not even 0.1%.

But then, obviously, he received some pushback, so he had to do what a lot of doctors do and write this. By no means am I anti-vaccine. It is clear from history that vaccines have made a significant contravention. to overcoming infectious disease. However, the safety of M RNA vaccines is clearly insufficient, and we oppose their use against the new coronavirus. We request that it be stopped immediately.

That is his statement. Wow. Incredible reporting, Jeffrey, and great to see the effect that you're having on this very important story. And once again, one of the things we're doing here, folks, that we pride ourselves. And I just ran into actually a handful of scientists last week in an event.

And he said, Delle, we're all watching your show now because it's not just fluff. In fact, you are helping us understand where investigations are going when we can't communicate with each other. You are now, you know, sort of putting up red flags and showing science that we all need to see. Jeffrey, this is, and for the audience out there, one of the things that we like to say is, look, there's enough for you all to understand. But when we get in the weeds, we're well aware we're in the weeds, but you must recognize that scientists and doctors around the world are now counting on the high wire to knowing what's really going on

because everyone recognizes that there's propaganda taking place, government agencies, there's crackdowns, and even if these scientists can't be public, they are quietly finding out what's going on and doing private research and they're getting a lot of their information through the high-wired.
