I had a similar thought when I put a working title for the article…. “Nature’s smear”…🫣

Alex Berenson also reported on receiving the same ‘inquiry’ from the same Nature editor yesterday.

Interestingly, Alex Berenson publicly called me “a grifter” for the work I do…. 😏

I stopped subscribing to him and Shellenberger because they are so inconsistent. Their nonsense about UFO’s just tipped me into a spin away from them!

You’re over the target Maryanne…

What a range of stories you’ve been covering…

Meanwhile the wretched journal industry, the ‘peer-reviewed literature’ that backs up pHarma needs to be exposed, big time.

The editors of these journals appear to be the worst kind of mercenaries - happy to carry out a character assassination for pay. They really are hired assassins, when it comes to attacking character. But it is worse than that: In trying to destroy the reputation of those with integrity, they promote the advance of companies that themselves get paid to kill or injure people by their liability-shielded products. They are character assassins working for actual assassins.

Another brilliant article, Maryanne! Keep bringing the fire to this deceptive industry. Big Pharma really overplayed their hand throughout covid, and more people are waking up! It was sickening to watch 2 of my former heroes, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, brutally attack RFKJ in those hearings. So many of our elected representatives in Australia, UK and US etc, screaming "trust the science!!", none of whom are scientists or would know the arse end of a scientific study, while simultaneously silencing, cancelling and de-platforming ACTUAL esteemed scientists, immunologists, virologists, paediatricians, cardiologists and GPs who were trying to warn us of the dangers of the vaccine for healthy people at low risk of covid complications. I still can't believe that the covid vaccine was mandated for healthy under 30's, and particularly kids and teens, when it was abundantly clear by the end of 2020 that healthy young people were not at risk of developing severe covid complications.

About as unbelievable as knowing the CDC was advising 6month old babies to get Covid boosters… sometimes it seems like total fiction.

Another fly in the ointment is that a goodly portion of the population is not aware of the deep corruption and have been inculcated by pharma’s propaganda slogans like “anti vaxxer.”

When playing soccer if you play the man (or woman in this case) and not the ball its likley you are slow, unskilled and probably loosing the game. If 'Nature' carries on like this they risk being substituted.

The big question is who is behind all this? If they can attempt to defame even Dr Malone who sits in a top position, the question is who is actually influencing these journals? It's quite scary the power they have. The Nazi regime significantly utilized mis and disinformation as tactics to control public perception and promote its ideology. The Nazis employed propaganda extensively through various media to manipulate information and suppress dissent, which has been studied as a key aspect of their control over society. We are watching this happen all over again.

It's my understanding that the pharma companies own the journals. Talk about conflict of responsibility.

“Nature” knows its funders are the profiteer warlords of the pandemic — no holds barred when it comes to vaccines and antivirals.

The null hypothesis is that secret deals let Pfizer, Merck, and Moderna extract far more profit than fair competition would ever allow.

Nature knows this is about to come out — and that independent journalists are the ones pulling back the curtain.

So the strategy is simple: try to silence them, and shut down Substack.”

This bait is anything but subtle! Yet it's very interesting in so far as it unmasked their level of annoyance and panic about the influence of honest broker such as you and Dr Malone to kill their pathetic narrative, more reminiscent of the manipulative langage of psychopaths!

Maryanne, my blood is boiling. Really, pharma has unbridled power to control everything including politicians. I feel that 1984 has come to pass, the book was a warning. When you say “the house of cards is collapsing, and that is why the attacks on dissent are more aggressive than ever.” I agree the attacks have ratcheted up, which maybe just the beginning. I’m not sure that the house of cards is collapsing, because I’m aware of pharma’s connections and wealth behind it. I’m sure trump was offered a very handsome sum for doing what he just did. The wealthy are callous and don’t care about people, obviously, because we don’t live in a democracy we live in a plutocracy. Now that trump has given Bourla his blessing, Bourla will attack no holds barred. It’s so depressing but the only way I can support you is continue to subscribe to you.

The editor of Nature sent this letter, eh? Sounds familiar. Wasn't it also the act of an editor that led to the demise of Cochrane Collaboration? And what are the credentials of these editors? Are they real scientists or some sort of administrators? In any case Maryanne congratulations. It's obvious that your making a real impact! As Winston Churchill is quoted as having said, "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something sometime in your life."

Brava, Maryanne! You should be proud they singled you out. Obviously your fabulous reporting has touched some nerves.

I strongly suspect that Nature is acting under orders from their Pharma paymasters. There’s nothing in it for Nature; it makes them look even worse.
