With this post, I am finally able to tie together the appearance of SPED, Turbocancers and excess Autoimmune Disease. I propose that the Spike Protein’s invasion of the Endothelium, followed by its invasion of the Extracellular Matrix, explains all three. Thank you for supporting my work, it has allowed me to look very deeply and discover.
As readers of this Substack know, I have, from the beginning, called the Spike Protein’s invasion of the Endothelium Spike Protein Endothelial Disease (SPED). I then proposed that the Spike Protein subsequently traveled from the Endothelium into the body’s organs, where it would induce autoimmune disease and/or fibrosis. Yet, the actual mechanism of this progression has eluded me – until now.
What I have discovered is that the Spike Protein’s ability to bind Integrin provides a perfectly satisfactory explanation for this malevolent journey and its deleterious consequences. To start, let us look at some autoimmune diseases which are found to be Integrin Regulated Autoimmune Disorders.
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Multiple Sclerosis
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Type 1 Autoimmune Hepatitis
Scleroderma
Let’s look at some studies, shall we?
Vaccination is one of the most vigorous ways to intervene in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. Cases of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) after coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination have been increasingly reported. Twenty-seven cases of AIH are summarized in this study, providing emerging evidence of autoimmune reactions in response to various COVID-19 vaccines, including in patients with special disease backgrounds such as primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), liver transplantation, and previous hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment.

Thank you for reaching out, I'll be donating soon
This gofundme BARELY has funds, please consider helping Layla and her family and share this post
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"The camp she lives in lacks electricity, clean drinking water, and sufficient food. With no income, her father struggles to provide for his family of eight. Layla and her brothers are tirelessly striving to make ends meet. She contributes to household chores by cleaning dishes and assisting her mother with cooking. Despite the challenges, Layla remains resilient in her efforts to support her family by helping other camp dwellers.
Due to the lack of clean drinking water Layla recently fell ill and upon diagnosis by a camp doctor, she received the terrible news that she is suffering from Hepatitis A. She and her family were devastated when they learnt about this chronic disease. She now needs constant medication and vaccination."
"We (myself along with Layla and her family) are now requesting for funds for Layla's safe travel to Egypt with her family (parents, siblings, and grandparents), for her treatment at a good hospital to recover from this curable disease as she could have a long active life ahead of her, care for her mother and grandparents, completing her degree to become a pharmacist and a source of livelihood for her father such as a small hotel/guest house in Egypt in a rented property with a few rooms so that he can start earning for his family. The funds will help furnish the property with beds, chairs and air conditioners so that the hotel/guest house can be started. The eventual goal will be for her and her family to return home after the war, where she belongs. Let us give Leila her life back and for her to realize her dreams and give back to society where she belongs."

Kristina Collins didn’t know her photo was being used on Telegram. Over the past few months, an Instagram picture of Collins, a Texas-based doctor and dermatologist, has been used by scammers on the chat app to try to persuade people to buy false proof that they have been vaccinated against Covid-19 and other diseases.
“The last thing you want as a physician is for your identity to be used to promote misinformation,” Collins tells WIRED, adding that many doctors use social media specifically to make sure people have access to accurate health information. “When people are able to take that likeness and use it for bad purposes, whether it’s fraud, whether it’s misinformation, I think it’s really scary.”
The Telegram channel impersonating Collins wasn’t alone. Researchers at Logically, a UK-based disinformation detection company, have uncovered a network of around 60 Telegram channels selling Covid-19 vaccination certificates and other proof of vaccination documents, and claiming to sell various medicines. In 25 of the channels, administrators used a “Dr.” prefix in their username, with 13 of the channels using the real-world names and/or photographs of legitimate medical professionals.
The network has been operating since at least June 2022, with more than a thousand accounts on X posting links that push people toward the Telegram channels selling “vaccine passes,” according to Chris Proops and Maisie Draper, Logically researchers who investigated the activity. Overall, they say, the social media operation has reached more than 3 million people with over 62,000 posts, and cryptocurrency accounts linked to the efforts have processed $286,000.
The scam is the latest in a long line of Covid-19 and health-related misinformation and disinformation, which has broadly attempted to capitalize on conspiracy theories and some people’s concerns about vaccinations. It highlights how scammers can abuse social media platforms, particularly those with loose stances on moderation, and potentially erode trust in medical systems.
“They're directing people, anti-vaxxers primarily, on X to then move to Telegram and subscribe to the around 50 Telegram channels that they have,” Draper says. The researchers identified around 20 “campaigns” on the Elon Musk–owned social media platform that were pushing people toward Telegram channels. The first was in June 2022 and the most recent at the start of December.
Draper and Proops say the efforts used repeated messaging, often replying to “verified” accounts on X that are linked to anti-vaccination sentiments, and consistently mentioned conspiracy theories such as the “great reset.”
“A lot of it is playing on anti-vaxxers’ vulnerabilities to being paranoid about things like the next pandemic, or other kinds of vaccines, like the measles vaccine,” Draper says.
The Telegram channels, where administrators impersonate doctors, also follow similar patterns to one another. Many of the channels have names related to Covid-19 vaccinations, and they claim to sell pandemic-related travel passes, allowing people to enter the UK, US, Canada, and other countries. They can sell the passes for around $250 to $500 each, with payments often being requested in bitcoin. Photos of the documents they claim to sell look similar to the official versions of the documents.
However, the vast majority of countries no longer require proof of vaccination to enter them and haven’t done so for long periods of time—for instance, the UK removed travel restrictions in 2022. “Over time, we started seeing a trend change where it wasn't just Covid passes,” Proops says. The Telegram channels have offered tuberculosis test results, meningitis vaccine results, and documentation around hepatitis A and B, tetanus, polio, and more, he says.
The researchers say they believe doctors are being impersonated to give the scammers a veneer of legitimacy. The Logically researchers contacted several doctors who were not aware their identities were being used. One doctor, they say, had not heard of Telegram. Collins says she was not aware of her image being used in this way until she was contacted by Logically and WIRED. She added that her image had also been used on a scam Instagram account.
Since the researchers started monitoring the X accounts and Telegram channels last year, many of the accounts and channels have been removed by the social media companies; however, around half of the Telegram channels are still active. Neither Telegram nor X responded to WIRED’s request for comment on the accounts or whether Telegram was aware of the impersonation of doctors taking place.
A WIRED review of the Telegram channels still active shows regular posts from administrators and other members. Some of the channels have only a few hundred members; others have a few thousand. The administrators of some channels have been inactive for several months. Within the channels is a slurry of well-worn and debunked conspiracy theories.
One still-active channel claims itself as a “coalition of doctors” who can get people “genuinely registered documentation” for those traveling to the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and 15 EU countries. The owner of the channel uses the name of a legitimate US-based plastic surgeon who has around 50,000 followers on social media, and a photograph of another doctor. Draper says that within the communities, people “are sharing photographs of side effects of the vaccine and fearmongering about the future impacts of lockdowns.”
The channels also claim to sell the drug ivermectin, which the US Food and Drug Administration said should not be used to treat or prevent Covid-19 in 2021. One of the channels lists half a dozen different kinds of medicines it claims to be able to provide. One claims it is selling weight loss drug Ozempic, while another tells people to not get a flu shot.
“The landscape of misinformation actors is abundant,” says Aliaksandr Herasimenka, a researcher of political communication at the Oxford Internet Institute who has studied misinformation on Telegram and vaccine and health misinformation. Herasimenka, who was not involved in the Logically research, says he has not seen doctors being impersonated on Telegram regularly, but that those behind misinformation and disinformation can use a variety of tactics. He says misinformation efforts can often be run for political or social goals, while those using it to make money can be often overlooked. “There are so many people who try to make money using misinformation, they would use any opportunity to profit,” Herasimenka says.
There is no evidence indicating that the Telegram channels offer legitimate goods, and it isn’t possible to verify whether anyone purchasing items from them receives anything. Some channels have posts from “customers” who claim to have purchased items from the Telegram groups. One account, which claims it ordered a vaccine certificate and drugs to the US, shared a photo of the back of an envelope claiming they received their order. Other posts use generic photos of drugs or vaccine certificates to claim items were delivered.
The Logically researchers say the likelihood that the false documents have been sent to people is “relatively low,” and their main motivation is likely financial. Proops says that while the documents the groups claim to be selling are not of much use now, the networks could be used in different ways in the future. The continued use of the channels and spreading of anti-vaccination messages could also undermine trust in health systems around the world, Proops says.
Collins, the doctor who had her image stolen, says she is concerned that it will become easier for scammers or people looking to undermine health care professionals to do so as image generation with artificial intelligence becomes more available. “As AI gets even better, they can go beyond just taking your picture off of a website, and actually potentially make a video of you talking,” Collins says. This will make it “really hard for an average person to sort out if this is a fake account or not.”

Travel Jabs in the UK: A Complete Guide for Safe Journeys
Travelling abroad is an exciting experience, but ensuring your health and safety should be a top priority. Many destinations require vaccinations to protect against diseases not commonly found in the UK. Whether you’re heading to tropical regions, remote areas, or high-risk zones, getting the right travel jabs is essential. Here’s everything you need to know about travel vaccinations in the UK.
Why Are Travel Vaccinations Important?
Travel vaccines protect against diseases that may be rare or non-existent in the UK but are prevalent in other countries. Certain infections, such as yellow fever, typhoid, and hepatitis, pose serious health risks to travelers. Immunisation helps prevent the spread of these diseases and ensures you enjoy a worry-free trip.
Common Travel Vaccinations in the UK
The travel jabs you need will depend on your destination, planned activities, and personal health conditions. Here are some of the most commonly recommended vaccinations:
1. Hepatitis A and B
Hepatitis A: Spread through contaminated food and water, this liver infection is common in parts of Africa, Asia, and South America.
Hepatitis B: A bloodborne virus that can be transmitted through cuts, medical procedures, or unprotected sex.
2. Typhoid
This bacterial infection is transmitted through contaminated food or water. It is recommended for travelers visiting regions with poor sanitation, including parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
3. Yellow Fever
Required for travel to certain parts of Africa and South America, this vaccine is often mandatory to enter some countries.
4. Rabies
If you plan on trekking, camping, or interacting with animals in high-risk areas, a rabies vaccine is advisable.
5. Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Polio (Td/IPV)
A booster may be required if you haven’t had one in the last 10 years.
6. Malaria Prevention
While not a vaccine, malaria tablets are essential when travelling to high-risk regions like Africa, Asia, and South America.
Where to Get Travel Jabs in the UK
You can get travel vaccinations from multiple sources:
NHS GP Surgeries: Some travel jabs, like hepatitis A, typhoid, and tetanus, are free on the NHS.
Private Travel Clinics: Offer a wider range of vaccinations, including yellow fever and rabies.
Pharmacies: Many high-street pharmacies provide walk-in travel vaccination services.
When Should You Get Vaccinated?
It’s best to schedule travel vaccinations at least 6-8 weeks before departure. Some vaccines require multiple doses over several weeks, so early planning is crucial.
Costs of Travel Vaccines in the UK
While some vaccines are free on the NHS, others must be paid for privately. Prices vary, but here’s a rough estimate:
Hepatitis A: Free (NHS)
Typhoid: Free (NHS)
Yellow Fever: £60-£90
Rabies: £50-£80 per dose (3 doses needed)
Hepatitis B: £40-£60 per dose
Final Tips for Safe Travel
Check entry requirements: Some countries mandate proof of vaccination.
Consult a travel health professional: Get personalised advice based on your itinerary.
Carry your vaccine certificate: Some destinations require proof of immunisation.
Take precautions: Even with vaccinations, practising good hygiene and avoiding contaminated food or water is essential.
Staying up to date with travel jabs ensures you stay healthy and enjoy your trip without unnecessary risks. If you’re planning an international journey, book your travel vaccines today and explore the world safely! 🌐 : https://potteryroadpharmacy.co.uk/

I was always working under the assumption that vampires that drink donated blood take the blood that is unusable to anyone else.
There are a lot of factors that could prevent you from donating blood, not because you can’t afford to give it, but because it might harm the receiver of the blood (if your blood contains drugs or might infect the receiver with some illness).
Vampires are typically depicted as immune to illness and near indestructible. Even if they aren’t, they are a different species to humans and therefore unlikely to react to human illnesses/drugs the same way a human would. On top of that, Vampires filter the blood they consume through some sort of digestive process rather than pumping it directly into their veins. This means they could presumably safely consume blood that could seriously endanger or kill a severely injured/ill human.
So there are probably a lot of people who want to, but aren’t allowed to donate blood because they got recently tattooed/pierced, who have a mild cold, went to the dentist a few days ago, who’s direct relatives suffer from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (or just visited England for more than 6 months between 1980 and 1996), who traveled internationally within the last 6 months or lived for 6+ months somewhere where illnesses like Malaria are more widespread, who take any kind of strong medication or are chronically ill, who ever had hepatitis/Malaria/Tuberculosis/another really bad infection, people who are HIV-positive or at heightened risk of contracting an STI due to sleeping with a lot of people (used to be everyone who is queer), who got vaccinated the last month, or people who take drugs (scenarios loosely taken from the DRK’s pre screen whether one is allowed to donate blood. I am not an expert, I threw this together with a bit of googling).
While this includes a lot of people whose bodies are already under too much stress to afford loosing half a litre of blood, a lot of people excluded by this could afford to loose this blood and might even be happy to help out and get to experience the feeling of accomplishment and having done a Good, Helpful Thing™️ that comes with donating blood. Especially among communities that are excluded from donating blood as a precaution on principle (queer people, sex workers, disabled people who aren’t allowed to donate due to their medication or a a lack of accessibility, immigrants whose country of birth is deemed too high risk, etc.) I think it’s decently likely that a system of donations gets developed and put in place to help their fellow disenfranchised people.
tldr: by allowing those excluded from donating blood to humans, to donate to Vampires, Vampires get to still their hunger in a safe, consensual, non-traumatising way and get the chance to integrate themselves into a community, without taking up resources that could be used to save human lives.
Honestly, I love the idea of a vampire who only drinks blood taken from blood banks and hospitals, because it so beautifully encompasses someone who's more concerned with the vibes of something than the actual impact of it.
Drinking from someone on the street, barring some other condition they may have, isn't likely to kill them unless you gorge yourself. Taking blood packs? There's always a shortage of blood, and having even less of it runs the very real risk of getting someone killed in a way that is wholly out of your control once you've sipped on that blood. Someone you can't assure the innocence or guilt of, if you're the type of person who cares about that.
Despite that, in popular stuff, I often see discussions of drinking from a blood bank being somehow better or preferable, and yeah. No. The only thing it does is make you feel better while doing more harm, because of that degree of removal. You're effectively drinking blood from someone on the cusp of hypovolemic shock, but since it's not straight from the tap, some people seem to think it's better.
