In Japan, I sat down with a doctor who specializes in gene therapy and practices pediatric oncology. When I asked him why he got involved in questioning the COVID response, he said: "Because my specialty is gene therapy. This is gene therapy. And gene therapy is very difficult." He knew the technology. He works with it on children fighting cancer. He understands what it takes to get it right, and what happens when you don't. When I asked him whether it seemed crazy to roll this out for everybody, he said yeah. Especially AstraZeneca, which he described as perfectly identical to the gene therapy protocols he uses in his own practice.

"medically vulnerable patients reported having to ask hospital staff to wear masks. 'We'd never expect people to have to individually ask their surgeon to wash their hands, we just expect that high standards are followed when we go into a health facility, that you will be safe'"
