I'm in a clinical trial for a brain cancer vaccine. Last month I sat down with the two men who invented it. Michael Ciesielski and Robert Fenstermaker. The idea is a vaccine called SurVaxM. It teaches the immune system to recognise survivin, a protein that helps cancer cells refuse to die. Glioblastoma is full of it. Fifteen years to get it from a Buffalo lab into patients. Related

Delighted to see the Covid Inquiry used one of our Winton Centre graphics in their vaccine report (p 215). But they chose the 'medium' exposure (February), rather than the more relevant 'low' exposure (March). I think this is misleading. Related

But they wouldn’t destroy the library because it was the giant brain from which the Assyrians ran a world empire, and it had all the knowledge in the world. They destroyed that? They spoke the same language, they had the same writing system. They’d have taken them all safely home, cart after cart after cart.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
