Guy Hatchard: Can mRNA vaccines degrade intelligence?

More than a year ago (May 18 2023) GLOBE published an article “The Long Read: Could Individual and Collective Intelligence Have Been Negatively Affected by the Covid Pandemic?. On the 28th May 2024 QJM, an international journal of medicine, published an article “A potential association between COVID-19 vaccination and development of Alzheimer’s disease“. This goes a long way towards vindicating our concerns.

This study of 558,017 individual residents of Seoul, South Korea who were enrolled in the medical system compared the cognitive outcomes of Covid vaccinated individuals with unvaccinated individuals. The findings showed a significant surge in the incidence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (p<0.001) and more worryingly Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (p<0.026) in vaccinated individuals, particularly those receiving mRNA vaccines, within three months post-vaccination. The study concluded:

“Preliminary evidence suggests a potential link between COVID-19 vaccination, particularly mRNA vaccines, and increased incidences of AD and MCI. This underscores the need for further research to elucidate the relationship between vaccine-induced immune responses and neurodegenerative processes, advocating for continuous monitoring and investigation into the vaccines’ long-term neurological impacts.”

 This result heralds the dead end of biotechnology in medicine. I am sure you will agree with me that a medical intervention which increases your chance of developing dementia while providing little or no measurable efficacy in achieving its stated aim is nothing short of a horribly misguided program that should be retracted immediately. Promotion of mRNA vaccines should stop. This should also be a prompt to completely re-evaluate the claims of researchers and commercial advocates of biotechnology in general.

The reverse is currently the case. Debates among those writing in the field being relayed by mainstream media are not about if or even when or how, but simply about whether the government or private enterprise should roll biotechnology out. Even then, no one really seems to care if it is both hand-in-glove. There is little or no questioning of veracity or safety. In fact, the scope of bogus claims being made by biotechnology proponents is very wide indeed and bears little relationship to established science. Biotechnology PR has become a runaway train that is out of touch with reality.

In this light it was highly gratifying to hear this week that a very broad ranging Covid inquiry will begin in NZ in November courtesy of public pressure and the coalition agreement that Winston Peters wrested from National and ACT. This will include investigation into the safety of Covid vaccines. 

However this inquiry will not report its findings until 2026. In the meantime the Ministry of Health is still promoting mRNA vaccines. The study of over half a million people in South Korea finding increased incidence of dementia should immediately sound very loud alarm bells and precipitate the complete closure of the NZ Covid vaccination program. There is no conceivable justification for any delay. The government has an unconditional duty of care to protect the well being of the people. 

Ironically gene therapies are being promoted in the popular press as a means to increase intelligence. 

Credulous governments are swallowing this poisoned pill and subsidising biotechnology experimentation. The argument goes roughly like this: multiple genes are weakly associated with intelligent functions like speech, ingenuity, and IQ so it should be possible to alter the genetic makeup of reproductive cells preconception to increase intelligence. This is a fantasy that doesn’t match the science. In fact, no genes have been identified that play major roles in differences in intelligence.

The proposed programmes of germline genetic engineering to enhance (???) human characteristics will alter the genes of all subsequent generations. Yet genes do not have single functions. Each gene supports many functions. Multiple genes work in tandem to enact many functions. Genetic edits are well known to inevitably cause unpredictable off-target effects. The problem however is even more deep seated than this.

A book “Who we are and how we got here” published in 2019 just before the pandemic reveals a different story about intelligence. The author, renowned Harvard ancient DNA researcher David Reich, reports that genes known to be associated with speech and the use of tools have been part of the human genome for at least 1 million years but probably as many as five million years. What does this mean? Prior to Reich’s research the accepted version of the history of intelligence was that genetic mutations supporting speech and tool-making fortuitously granted an evolutionary advantage to the humans who accidentally acquired them. 

Reich’s research calls this into question. Modern technological wonders may not be a sign of growing human intelligence supported by a theorised genetic superiority. It may simply be the result of the growth of technical knowledge shared and nurtured by society. Humans have probably carried all the genes associated with intelligence stretching back into prehistory. Technological achievement is not a mark of genetic progress. The fact that technology has been turned so fully towards warfare is telling. War and conflict is not a sign of intelligence, it is the last resort if intelligence fails.

Of course genes, and in fact the whole structure and function of cells, are intimately associated with intelligence, but do they in fact cause or control it?  Is consciousness or intelligence merely an epiphenomenon of matter? No. Numerous well documented reports of individuals, especially young children, who remember vivid and confirming details of past lives, suggest that consciousness is independent of physiology, that consciousness is primary and matter secondary.

What is intelligence? 

Psychologists find it hard to define. It has components referred to as memory, fluid intelligence, field independence, creativity, spatial awareness, logical reasoning, analysis, pattern recognition, problem solving, musical ability, mind-body coordination, emotional capacity, linguistic ability, naturalistic insight, etc. It is a long list and not one that can be exhaustively described. So are these joined by any common thread?

All of the above types of intelligence refer to functions of intelligence. They are measures of how well intelligence functions with sensory information and through activity. How it discriminates and decides activity. Behind this lies the stability of the intellect or more broadly the stability of consciousness. 

Brain research has found that coherent patterns of electrical activity in the brain resulting from meditation practice and measured by EEG are associated with increases in IQ, concept learning, academic attainment, creativity, moral reasoning, physiological coordination and crucially with clarity of awareness. The number of published studies documenting these effects is very large and therefore too numerous to include here, but many of them can be accessed through the references listed in my book Your DNA Diet.

EEG coherence is a measure of the amount of coordination or symmetry between brain cells and between different processing centres in the brain. High levels of phase and frequency coherence between feeds picked up on different areas of the cranium correspond to an experience of deeply settled awareness and well being. The association between this experience and measures of intelligence suggests that intelligence relies on coordination between brain cells. 

The finding of cognitive impairment following mRNA vaccination hints at a more universal conclusion: intelligence relies not just on coordination between cells but also on the genetic uniformity of cells. In fact, we can formulate this proposition as a general law: intelligence is proportional to measures of coherent functioning in physiology. 

The intelligence of nature

When considering the physics of nature, coherence or unity is the guiding principle of law. Laws like gravity are universal, present everywhere. In fact the whole motivating force of physics has been to find universal principles. The fewer laws governing more events, the more fundamental. Ultimately, in prototype unified field theories of physics, a unified super-symmetric state is considered to be the source of all natural law. This unified source of natural law is often equated with consciousness. See for example “Is Consciousness the Unified Field” by quantum physicist John Hagelin. 

Natural law is a coherent system: diversity on the surface supported by unity at its depth.

We suggest that the structural and functional organisation of physiology parallels that of natural law. Human intelligence relies upon harmony with the structure of natural law. Anything that reduces harmony with the coherence of natural law will impair intelligence. In this understanding, physiology is a reflection of natural law. The more the physiology exhibits coherence, the better it supports the expression of consciousness or intelligence.

The understanding we have arrived at is entirely opposed to the current thrust of biotechnology propaganda. Editing genes will not increase intelligence, rather reduce it. As research has just revealed, when mRNA vaccines alter the genetic function of billions of cells, intelligence is degraded. It is the coherent properties of cells and collections of cells that support consciousness. 

Order is an intimate property of biology. Living systems defy the second law of thermodynamics, the law of universal decay, and actually maintain and increase order, they are effortlessly swimming against the current so to speak. They do so by maintaining their internal order in harmony with the order of natural law.

Multiple research findings suggest that these coherent properties can be enhanced by the practice of deep meditation. If you are aiming to enhance intelligence and unlock latent abilities of the mind and body, the techniques to do so already exist, but biotechnology will only damage our capacity to engage with them. 

In summary, functioning intelligence relies on the established intellect. 

We are suggesting that the intellect can become established in a state of harmony with natural law which is correlated with a high degree of physiological and genetic coherence. This can be accessed via traditional methods of deep meditation. The records of traditional cultures around the world bear witness to the uniquely human capacity to rise to higher consciousness. 

• In order to function most efficiently the intellect must be firmly anchored to universal consciousness, not solely subject to the constantly changing field of sensory perception. 
• In order for intelligence to become established in consciousness, physiological and cellular functions must be fully coordinated. 
• In order to maintain coordinated physiological functioning, genetic uniformity must be maintained. The fact that the immune system makes genetic repair an absolute priority supports this contention.

Our earlier article “The Long Read: What is a Human Biofield?” casts additional light on the perspective of this article. It appears that the missing link between physical reality and biological reality is a biofield concept. Both physical fields and biofields have their roots in universal consciousness.

Consciousness is a property of living systems, this is the reality of our everyday life.

The situation we now find ourselves in is the result of years of materialistic arrogance. As long ago as 1972, ground-breaking research was demonstrating unique properties of consciousness developed through deep meditation. Dr. Robert Keith Wallace for example was a pioneer researcher who found physiological evidence of a fourth state of human consciousness. You can review his contribution to the science of consciousness in his book The Physiology of Consciousness.

Since that time, more than 1000 studies have been published in reputable journals on the physiological effects of meditation alone, but mainstream academia has chosen to ignore these results and push ahead with a concept of biology that excludes consciousness. They ignored the findings of scientists like Nobel Laureate Ilya Prigogine and others who demonstrated unique orderly properties of living systems which lay outside the materialistic paradigm. All together an act of wilful blindness that defies common sense. 

The net result has been an agenda to play God with human genetics which ignores the disruption of finely tuned and subtle processes which support consciousness and all its higher functions including intelligence.

Any deep thinking person should appreciate that an agenda to edit or alter human genes is fraught with huge risk both long term and short term. The risks extend from the field of health and longevity to the preservation of human intelligence which is the ultimate safeguard of civilization and the bulwark against conflict and war.

There are lessons here for us all. To escape from the damaging effects of the pandemic and the government’s response to it, and to protect ourselves from future biotech developments, we need to widen our understanding and capacity for self-resilience. This is going to involve improvements in diet, lifestyle, our food supply system, education, healthcare, public safeguards, and the way we handle our own consciousness. It is highly unlikely that we will be able to rely on governments for the depth of understanding required to achieve this, in fact ours is currently funding and facilitating biotechnology experimentation. Unbelievably, they plan to deregulate the field. We must continue to work to bring a fuller understanding of the fundamentals of life and safety into the public awareness. 

The serious concerns expressed in this article speak to a  compelling need for the International Genetic Charter. Its simple terms spell out in a few sentences the safeguards necessary to protect human life from genetic degradation.
