Monstrous. Does pharma exist solely as cover for the torture of other life forms? What kind of human becomes desensitized to witnessing suffering of this magnatude every day at work?

Most cooks do. A friend of mine told me these crabs are screaming when he vaccuums their intestines out of their bodies while they are alive. Not sure what to make of it, but the idea haunts me ever since he told me.

That’s highly disturbing. Why must this be done when it’s still alive? I mean, when one is going to cook it anyway. I’m certain there’s a reason, but I can’t imagine what it might be.

I understand that the evils in the picture have to bleed them while they’re alive, but it’s still disgusting and cruel and takes a special kind of psychopathy (in my opinion) to do that for a science experiment.

Because some cook probably said it tastes a tad better. Just disturbing, I agree. Most humans have this ability to switch off their empathy when they need to survive. Jobs are seen as means to survive. Only explanation I have. Well we generally tend to desensitize when we are exposed to horrific things. I mean... I still eat meat occasionally, but if we are honest it's the biggest ongoing massacre. We are literally feeding of unimaginable suffering.

So it wasn't snake venom at all...

Oh god, this is getting worse by the day. That picture looks like it came out of some science fiction movie, but I suppose it's "pretty standard".

Thank you for this piece of information!

According to the EMA Pfizer leak the allowed limit was ≤ 12.5 EU/mL. That would be about 28 EU/vial as each vial is 2.25mL

About 4.7 EU per dose (6 doses per vial).

But my question is do the LNPs make it worse? Instead of being in the bloodstream, plasma or extracellular fluid, the LNPs would bypass that and the endotoxin would be in the cells. Would that make a difference?

Very good point. I still have not found a reliable estimate of the molecular weight range of the Endotoxins. Some literature suggests it could be up to 200,000 Dalton.

One thing has become apparent to me. We need

3rd party (independent) inspection and testing of these pharma products that is not paid for by HHS or Pfizer. How do avoid corruption in the selection and accreditation process I don't know.

Frederick Barry Bang musta been a fun guy. Cool name, if not the game.

I remember seeing a documentary years ago on this horrendous blood letting of the horseshoe crabs. It reminds me of those alien abduction accounts. Medicine needs an entire moral, ethical, Hippocratic re-do.
