Transparancy leading to massive reserch opportunities

Robert ClancyGUEST
And so you have to have a study big enough to put into play all the variables, the likely responsiveness.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And so you, uh, I end up having a study which is powered to give you, if you have a certain number of people, uh, expecting a certain percenti- You're aiming at saying, "Look, I'm expecting a 30%, um, preferential outcome for this drug for, for this particular disease.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And to get a 30% outcome, I need to power it by having 200 people or 300 people-

Robert ClancyGUEST
You're aiming at saying, "Look, I'm expecting a thirty percent, um, preferential outcome for this drug for, for this particular disease." And to get a thirty percent outcome, I need to power it by having two hundred people or three hundred people-

Robert ClancyGUEST
Um, the, there's been a number of studies showing that if you have a active flu vaccine, that that flu vaccine, uh, significantly reduces your chance of getting serious, uh, infection from COVID for a short period of time.

Robert ClancyGUEST
I, I had a, a very good friend who I, uh, was in my group i-in medicine wh-when we trained, um, ring me last night, uh, to say that, uh, one of his...

Robert ClancyGUEST
He's a very good, experienced, uh, general practitioner, and he said that, uh, one of his patients, uh, contacted him th- yesterday to say could he come and have his seventh, seventh vaccine.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And, uh, I, I'd run into, to Jo- also John, uh, at a medical meeting the other night, and we were chatting about various things, and he said, "Oh, I didn't realize you had an interest in COVID." He said, "I, I was one of the pastors, 'cause I'm ready, I'm ready for my seventh, uh, vaccine." And so I, I had a little chat with him, and, um, he said he had no idea, no idea that drugs like ivermectin actually had evidence that they worked.

Robert ClancyGUEST
That virus, the spike protein, then you're not essentially immunizing in a totally naive way.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And so The response you get is not just a good positive response, although initially you will get a positive response, but as experience goes and as you get more exposure to the virus in the environment and as you get more of these booster vaccines, particularly after about three of them in a year or two, you actually get a net turn off rather than a net turn on.

Robert ClancyGUEST
So instead of getting terrifically vigorous immune response, which initially when the vaccine rollout occurred, there was a very good protective immune response.

Robert ClancyGUEST
But progressively, that immune response has become less and less, which means that there's less and less protection from the vaccine.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And the dynamic that needs to be understood, John, is a dynamic that involves three components.

Robert ClancyGUEST
There's all sorts of comments that would suggest, oh dear me, we're getting more infections, not less.

we do that, Robert, why was it that the vaccine in the early days in Australia did seem to be effective, in fact, was effective at preventing hospitalisations?
Our mRNA fears

2:14
2:22
2:35
2:44

John CampbellHOST
What sort of things would concern you about the mRNA vaccines that would indicate caution?

Robert ClancyGUEST
The first is that messenger RNA vaccines potentially, as we talked earlier, can infect every cell in the body.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And when it does that, it can create every cell into potentially a target for destructive T cells to damage it.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And that means that not just traditional autoimmune disease, but a whole range of diseases we haven't seen or examples of which we've only seen rarely might occur.

Robert ClancyGUEST
It means that there can be long-term post-COVID vaccine as well as post-COVID long COVID.

Robert ClancyGUEST
I see far more post-COVID vaccine long COVID in my clinic than I do post-COVID long COVID, which is the one everyone knows about.

Robert ClancyGUEST
disease, wasn't it? 12.5% of babies, little infants, who were given the active got life-threatening RSV infection because every kid gets RSV, not once, twice, they'll get it a dozen times.

Robert ClancyGUEST
I mean, it can be quite nasty, it's not good, but it's got a very peculiar type of relationship with the body's immune system and we've known since the 1960s that you don't fiddle with RSV.

Robert ClancyGUEST
because back then, with antigen vaccines, they were getting kids dying from overwhelming RSV infection.

Robert ClancyGUEST
So it's going to be a lot worse, in my view, by putting in an messenger RNA vaccine where you can't even control the dose or the nature of the antigen that's expressed, and that's also probably important.

Robert ClancyGUEST
Well, everybody knows in blood there's antibody, and they know that antibody can cause mediate protection.

Robert ClancyGUEST
Now, the main antibody happens to be a protein which is given the term IgG, immunoglobulin G. It's now known that immunoglobulin G is made up of four different types, which are called subclasses.

Robert ClancyGUEST
Only immunologists, certainly mucosal immunologists, go to very boring places for meetings and call it IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4.

Robert ClancyGUEST
I, I think, I, I think what, to me, the, the central issue of what we got wrong is, a- and this has been happening, Chris, over a period of time.

Robert ClancyGUEST
Uh, we, we lost the regulatory influence of high quality medical people who have provided a brake on information and ensured that we traveled in a good direction.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And I, I think it's, we all live in a, a silo and, and my silo of course is health.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And, um, I've seen this very clearly and I think what COVID did was bring this out.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And, uh, with Tony Fauci, uh, not saying anything, uh, we- we've lost that, that opportunity to really, uh, get answers to questions.

Chris SmithHOST
And so, so this scary kind of thing, um, was coming over the population and behind it all, the pharmaceutical companies weren't prepared to put their backsides on the line in a legal backing of their vaccines.

Clinical immunology in the Covid era

Robert ClancyGUEST
John had come up with the idea that there is a commonality between the protection mechanisms of the different mucosal surfaces of the body, be it the lung, the gut, the eye.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And when I arrived, he was on the verge of proving this by showing with transfer of cells in rabbits from payous patches as a major factory of cells to various mucosal tissues, particularly in the lung.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And so I got particularly interested in that communication between the payous patch, which are little factories of cells in the small bowel, the lining of the small bowel.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And we... developed these ideas to include T lymphocytes as well as B lymphocytes so all the different armamentaria of the so-called adaptive or specific immune response were generated and the interesting thing is they weren't generated in the lungs they were generated in the post patch by the antigens Be they virus, bacteria being swallowed into the gut.

just it's just i just find this isn't this amazing i mean what sort of innate mechanisms are there that keep us sterile just that just those few millimeters under the surface of the skin

Robert ClancyGUEST
The body, for all intents and purposes, is sterile and needs to stay that way.

Robert ClancyGUEST
The way in which the organs and cells talk to each other, the tissues behave, requires no bacteria, no viruses.

And we just don't have enough cells to make hundreds and thousands of cells capable of marshaling an army of specificity to kill those bacteria or viruses.

Robert ClancyGUEST
It, it, it adopted what had been around since the earthworm and very primitive organisms called the, uh, innate immune system.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And this is a system of protection that predates both our knowledge and also humans going way back to the, uh, invertebrate kingdom.

Robert ClancyGUEST
It predates that to coming up with a system that could protect against infection without having antibodies or specificity.

Robert ClancyGUEST
it's really important, too, to understand this, Alex, because I'm an immunologist.

Robert ClancyGUEST
What I'm not pro is vaccination using technology that leads to harm more often than it leads to good.

Robert ClancyGUEST
So, I mean, very briefly, the history of vaccination began when Louis Pasteur found that if he took a bacteria and kept growing and growing and growing it, it lost its mojo.

Robert ClancyGUEST
It lost its capacity to cause harm, but kept its capacity to stimulate immunity.
24 MINS LATER
God fashioned therapeutics
1:54
2:58

Robert ClancyGUEST
Well, Okay, well, very briefly, my view is that, as an immunologist and a clinical immunologist, that all the various different vaccines you want to use against an inhaled virus, which is likely to be the usual pandemics that we see, flu, COVID, et cetera, they attack a system of the immune system process that is different to the one you inject the vaccine into yeah and so the bottom line is that it's the biology of the process that's going to dominate the outcome not whether you use a messenger rna vaccine a dna vaccine or a squashed up virus or whatever it's the limitations are set by the biology of that interplay between the virus and the local immune response and the suppression of immunity that goes with that to prevent overactive inflammation in the airways, full stop.

Robert ClancyGUEST
So my group, we said initially, we didn't say this, but we said this through COVID when we realised what was happening, that you're never ever going to have a fantastic virus against a pandemic.

John CampbellHOST
We have another reason for doing this video today, don't we? What have we got in

Robert ClancyGUEST
mind? Well, John, the main reason was to give you and Chris a little break given the intensity of recent years.

Robert ClancyGUEST
But being here, the professionals in health and legal and pharmaceutics, et cetera, got together and said, why don't we use this as an opportunity to bring together The best of the best that we can find in Australia that are concerned that we may not be getting as much out of reviews of the COVID problem as we should.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And so in a sense, we're looking at doing the Royal Commission that the government probably didn't want to do.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And so on Tuesday, the 2nd of April, we're having a day, a symposium, where we have a terrific array of individuals, including yourself, John, where we're looking at different aspects, the way we've seen the COVID pandemic, how it's been handled, the good, the bad, and probably the indifferent, and particularly looking at ways we can go ahead.

Robert ClancyGUEST
Because We started COVID with a plan and the plan didn't sort of go to plan, it disappeared and a narrative took over.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And the question really is, was the narrative as good as the plan that we had in place? And this is going to be the Australian Medical Professionals Exactly.

John CampbellHOST
I mean, what are the sort of standout issues and problems for you? What sort of things will we be talking about in your presentation, for example?

Robert ClancyGUEST
Uh, the first is that they did... looked at hospital patients who'd been very sick for quite a period of time.

Robert ClancyGUEST
Now, everyone viewing this video knows that if you have a viral infection, you treat it in the first two days.

Robert ClancyGUEST
Or if you have a herpes simplex involving, uh, cold sores, uh, or vaginal, uh, sexually, uh, transmitted, uh, herpes, you can treat it very effectively, uh, with an antiviral given in the first two, maybe three days.

Robert ClancyGUEST
Uh, if you get herpes zoster, shingles, everyone knows you go straight to the doctor and get treated, and it's effective.

John CampbellHOST
Now we're on a rather unique trail, so what is this trail and where are we? We're

Robert ClancyGUEST
on the Charles Darwin Walk and we're on it today is the opening of this new Charles Darwin Walk and it's called Charles Darwin Walk because in 1836 when Darwin was doing his around the world trip with Fitzroy on the Beagle, they stopped in Sydney for just under three weeks and while the ship was being repaired and revitalized Darwin smartly decided after being open only for about 18 years he would cross the mountains and in those days there was a sort of halfway stop called Weatherboard which we now know as Wentworth Falls where we are today and And he was staying at Weatherboard and they said, look, we've got to follow this creek.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And it's a dramatic fall, which surprised and impressed Darwin and actually led to some of the ideas that he later incorporated in his theory of evolution.

What they've done is right from the f- the rollout of the vaccine in 20, early 2021, they've been following each vaccine and each booster that's come out and looked at the protection.

Robert ClancyGUEST
Now, if you look carefully, uh, at the, uh, the vertical, uh, the vertical, uh, um, numbers there-

Robert ClancyGUEST
But this book came about a meeting that I met with Mel McCann, who is my co-editor here.

Robert ClancyGUEST
But if she's watching, I'm a little embarrassed, but I'll have to say, Mel is one of the most remarkable family practitioners I've ever met.

I mean, you know, we trained up, we were involved in teaching nurse practitioners.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And we said something like 80% of what you get, the information comes from what your patient tells you.

Robert ClancyGUEST
of a physical exam that gives you a bit of extra information and a few blood tests.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And, you know, the famous McCaffrey saying about pain, pain is what the patient says it is existing when they say it does.
Genetic vaccine inadequacies

Robert ClancyGUEST
Well, I think this is just an introductory slide, and it identifies the five issues that I wanted to talk about.

Robert ClancyGUEST
The first was, how good are genetic vaccines? The second was, how dangerous are genetic vaccines? And then the third, which I think is a very important one, is what is the most effective therapy for COVID? I specifically am interested in the post-COVID vaccination syndrome because, as you'll see from these slides, this is one of the best kept secrets.

Robert ClancyGUEST
I thought we should look at where we're going and what we haven't learned and the mistakes that we really need to address for the future.

John CampbellHOST
Sounds interesting and very beneficial for individuals and for society as a whole.

Robert ClancyGUEST
Right, well, this is the first topic, and that is how good are genetic COVID vaccines? And the main points that I wanted to make with this slide was that any vaccine which is injected to prevent or modify the outcome of an inhaled pathogen, a virus or a nasty bacteria, has to fit in with the biology of the whole system.
In-depth interview with Professor Clancy

Robert ClancyGUEST
In the middle, it's just to remind us that we now know quite clearly that the old adage that certainly we're all taught at university is that the DNA information goes to RNA, goes to protein.

Robert ClancyGUEST
So you actually translate the genetic information, the coding, into the structure and function of proteins.

Robert ClancyGUEST
We now know quite clearly... that the messenger RNA, which is supposed to be between the DNA and the protein, as you can see on this graph, can actually reverse and put its message back into genomic DNA.

Robert ClancyGUEST
It's been found recently in a number of cancers, the expression of spike protein, which can only come from a genetic base.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And that wonderful graph done by the Japanese showing the mortality peaking at three to four months, that really defines that wave.

Robert ClancyGUEST
Because within that wave, you're getting just recently, I think this week came out that individuals between 20 and...

Robert ClancyGUEST
Males between 20 to 40 had a highly significant sevenfold increase in heart attacks if they were vaccinated.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And then there's the second frame, which begins at six months, because we say someone's got post-COVID vaccine syndrome or COVID.

Robert ClancyGUEST
80% of people with the athletes was pretty much 95% of the athletes had been exposed, had marker symptoms.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And this is the interesting thing, that the people who have the Epstar-Barr virus and who are prone to getting fatigue never quite make the right sort of T cell response.

Robert ClancyGUEST
And I'll give you two quick examples, and these relate exactly to the situation that I'm certainly seeing and has recently been published to some extent with long COVID.

Robert ClancyGUEST
If you look at antibody production, the antibodies are made by a cell given the very imaginative title of a B cell, a B lymphocyte.

John CampbellHOST
So moving on to the sort of, um, management strategies that we're going to use, Robert, I mean, I mean, the question is of course, what, what the heck do we, do we do about this? So, um, do we need to promote a more effective immunity within the respiratory tract and how would we do that?
