In the latest of the ever-revolving door supposedly hiding the true purpose of the COVID-19 vaccines, TruNews founder and host Rick Wiles has once again unveiled what he believes the jabs do to people.
Forget his recent claims that its an egg that hatches into a synthetic parasite or a bioweapon, Wiles now reveals what the vaccines really are, for real for real this time: they are an operating system, which takes control of your DNA once its in someones system.

Wiles detailed the latest of his wild conspiracy theories on a recent episode of his networks eponymous show, as captured byRight Wing Watch.
The basis of this theory is that two of the three vaccines available in the United States are mRNA vaccines, mRNA standing for Messenger Ribonucleic Acid, which is a molecule found alongside DNA in genes. Wiles uses this basic fact to suggest that getting the vaccine takes control of your DNA, and changes you forever.
This fails to realize that mRNA are separate cells from DNA, and dont alter how DNA works in any way. mRNA never enters the nucleus of the cell where our DNA (genetic material) is located, so it cannot change or influence our genes, the CDC states.
The mRNA vaccines work by teach our cells how to make a proteinor even just a piece of a proteinthat triggers an immune response inside our bodies. In other words, they learn to recognize a specific protein found in coronavirus strains and fight against it spreading.
According to Wiles, though, It is not a vaccine. Following the suggestion of an off-camera colleague, he calls it an operating system. It is a system suppressor. But more than anything else, it is changing your DNA.
I dont have anything against polio vaccines, measles vaccines, Wiles claims, those are vaccines. This is not a vaccine. This is changing your DNA. Its a mRNA its a messenger RNA vaccine but it takes control of your DNA. You will never be the same person that you were before you got vaccinated.
Wiles claims that they are putting something in you that changes your body.
He claims This is the beginning. Theyre not going to go back in time after this. Every year, theres going to be more messenger RNA vaccines that you are mandated to receive. Theyre changing the inner structure of the human body. It is from hell itself And I cant comprehend these pansy preachers that are endorsing it. God have mercy on your souls for what youre doing.
He then says, This is Satan himself bringing forth a diabolical scheme to alter the creation of mankind, basing his theory on the book of Genesis.
Earlier this month, Wiles claimed on his show that the vaccine is an egg that hatches into a synthetic parasite. He said that the masses of people getting the shot is like a sci-fi nightmare. And its happening in front of us. This is a global coup dtat by the most evil cabal of people on the planet in the history of mankind.
Wiles has blamed the coronavirus pandemic on China,Jewish people,LGBTQpeople, andthe devil. But after he got the virus himself after refusing to get vaccinated, he blamed the highly infectious Delta variant on people who have gotten vaccinated, saying that theyre shedding the virus. He also claimed that the COVID-19 vaccines will kill 70% of peoplewho get them, calling attempts to vaccinate people a mass death campaign.
While mRNA-based vaccinations can be considered new, the CDC explains that Researchers have been studying and working with mRNA vaccines for decades. Interest has grown in these vaccines because they can be developed in a laboratory using readily available materials. This means vaccines can be developed and produced in large quantities faster than with other methods for making vaccines.
They add, mRNA vaccines have been studied before for flu, Zika, rabies, and cytomegalovirus (CMV). As soon as the necessary information about the virus that causes COVID-19 was available, scientists began designing the mRNA instructions for cells to build the unique spike protein into an mRNA vaccine.
While it sounds like Wiles is one of a very few people buying this, he has the attention of thousands every day with his online, White House-credentialed network. Milo Yiannopaulos and Lauren Witzke are recent co-hosts and frequent guests on Wiles show. Meanwhile, a Florida political candidate is embroiled in controversy for appearing on his program recently.
Most of those on social media are taking Wiles theory seriously.

A Maryland man pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud conspiracy for his role in a COVID-19 scam.
Odunayo Oluwalade, 25, faced up to 20 years in prison, The Department of Justice said.
He admitted helping to set up a fake Moderna website that claimed people could buy the vaccine.
A Maryland man has pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud conspiracy for his role in a COVID-19 vaccine fraud scheme, after he allegedly worked with two others on securing a bank account for sales from a fake Moderna website.
Odunayo Oluwalade, 25, of Windsor Mill, a Baltimore suburb, entered a guilty plea for his role in the vaccine fraud on Friday. He faces up to 20 years in prison but a sentencing date hasn't been set, the Department of Justice said in a press release.
Oluwalade was one of three people arrested in February for taking part in a scam that involved a duplicate website mimicking Moderna's modernatx.com.
The duplicate site was hosted at modernatx.shop, according to a federal complaint unsealed that month. The fake site used "the logo, markings, colors and texts" of the real site, investigators said in an affidavit unsealed in February.
But the fake Moderna website added the line in capital letters: "You may be able to buy a COVID-19 vaccine ahead of time," according to federal investigators.
The website provided contact info, which led investigators to Oluwalade and his alleged co-conspirators: his cousin, Olikatan Oluwalade, 22; and Kelly Lamont Williams, 22. The three were arrested and charged in February, investigators said.
"As the public seeks vaccines to protect themselves and their families from COVID-19, fraudsters are waiting to take advantage of their desperation," James R. Mancuso, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Baltimore, said in a statement at the time.
The fraudulent Moderna vaccine website, modernatx.shop, has been seized by federal investigators. modernatx.shop
The investigation began in January, when an undercover HSI agent reached out to the contact number on the website.
Story continues
Within a few hours, the undercover agent was in an email conversation with sales@modernatx.shop, which sent an invoice for 200 doses of Moderna's vaccine at $30 a piece, or $6,000 in total, investigators said. The invoice called for half the payment to be sent upfront to a Navy Federal Credit Union account. The account belonged to Williams, according to an affidavit.
Investigators sent the $3,000, they said.
Four days later, with a warrant in hand, investigators seized the fake website's domain. They also seized Williams' phone. Investigators used that phone to text Oluwalade, they said in an affidavit, asking: "Yo where u want me send the bread."
"Yea send me some thru zelle and some through cash app," Oluwalade replied, referring to Zelle and Cash App, according to an affidavit.
Oluwalade admitted in his guilty plea that he knew Williams' account would be used as part of a fraud scheme, but "was not aware of the specifics of the scheme," the DOJ said. "The scheme called for Oluwalade to be compensated for his role in obtaining bank accounts for use in the scheme."

This story was updated at 8:10 p.m. Oct. 30, 2021, with new information about an indoor mask mandate being reinstated.
Montgomery Countys indoor mask mandate will be reinstated Wednesday unless the County Council, acting as the Board of Health, votes to change it Tuesday, according to the countys acting health officer.
On Saturday, James Bridgers, the acting health officer, sent a memo to County Council leadership and County Executive Marc Elrich. The notice says that because the county has entered substantial transmission, per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, the mask mandate would be reinstated, unless the Board of Health acts.
Effective November 3 at 12:01 a.m., subject to possible action by the Board of Health, all persons in Montgomery County over the age of two must wear a face covering in any location accessible to the public, Bridgers wrote, noting that there are exceptions to the mask mandate.
Those exceptions include:
The state reported 108 new positive cases of the coronavirus in Montgomery County on Saturday morning, which has the county in substantial transmission for the second straight day.
Senior officials said this week that the countys indoor mask mandate would be reinstated if the county sees just one day of substantial transmission.
An indoor mask mandate was lifted at 12:01 a.m. Thursday, after the county reported seven straight days of moderate transmission.
But County Council Vice President Gabe Albornoz told Bethesda Beat Friday evening that he and his colleagues were waiting on an order from Bridgers.
Council members passed the Board of Health order in early August, reinstating the mandate.
It was initially unclear on Friday whether the mask mandate would be reinstated by that Tuesday meeting, if at all. Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Earl Stoddard told Bethesda Beat on Friday the mandate would likely not be reinstated over the weekend.
Stoddard did not immediately respond to a voicemail left on his cellphone Saturday morning.
Per CDC guidelines, substantial transmission is 50 to 99.99 new coronavirus cases per 100,000 people, over a seven-day period. Moderate transmission is defined as 10 to 49.99 new coronavirus cases per 100,000 people, over a seven-day period.
The county enters substantial transmission when it hits 50 cases or more per 100,000 people, calculated over a seven-day period. As of Saturday evening, the countys rate is listed as 53.3.
County Council Member Andrew Friedson wrote in a text message on Saturday that he had been working on proposing potential changes to the Board of Health order before the county entered substantial transmission on Friday.
Both he and Albornoz said the proposed changes to the Board of Health order are meant to avoid a yo-yo effect of the mask mandate being lifted and reinstated multiple times in a short time frame.
County officials have previously said they need to confirm state and local data with CDC data before determining which state of transmission the county is in, so there is a delay in making pronouncements, even after new numbers are released.
According to the CDC, 91.1% of the countys eligible population those 12 years and older are fully vaccinated, as of Saturday. Of the total population, 77.3% are fully vaccinated, and 85.8% had received at least one dose of a vaccine.

NEW YORK (AP) Have a heart, New York!
A giant red heart sculpture installed this week in Central Park as a tribute to health care workers and COVID-19 victims has been taken down an apparent casualty of confusion and red tape.
Italian sculptor Sergio Furnari says he was walking by the park Thursday afternoon with friends when he noticed that his Heroes Heart Monument was gone.
When he went to file a police report, he said, he was bounced from police station to police station until a police officer on Friday showed him video of people removing the 10-foot-tall, 3,000-pound (3-meter, 1,360 kilogram) monument and placing it on a truck.
They literally broke my heart, Furnari said when reached Friday night.
Furnari conceded he did not have a permit to place the heart in the park but considered a $4,000 grant he received from New York Citys government to be his permit for the temporary installation. He said he considered the removal of his memorial an abuse of power.
A message seeking comment was left with the Central Park Conservancy, the nonprofit that manages the park on behalf of the city. Furnari said he planned to go to the organization on Monday to find out what happened to his heart.
Furnari said he wanted the sculpture to be a place for emotional and spiritual solace in the bustling city and not just a popular spot for selfies, though he said he was cool with that, too.
The work was an extension of another piece he created earlier in the pandemic: a life-size sculpture of a health care worker kneeling with arms stretched to the sky.
In an interview prior to the sculptures removal, the artist explained his vision for the piece.
Everybody suffers in different ways and needs all different types of comfort, Furnari said. I hope this heart helps them remember their loved ones and cope with the grief. For a moment, they can forget about their problems.

Treatment using the antidepressant Fluvoxamine, which is typically used to treat mental health conditions such as depression and OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), reduced the risk of hospitalization among high-risk COVID-19 patients, a study published in The Lancet Global Health medical journal found.Fluvoxamine, sold under the brand name "Luvox," is a serotonin inhibitor that helps restore serotonin levels in the brain. Developed in the 1990s, Fluvoxamine is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, researchers believed studying the drug's effects on COVID-19 symptoms could lead to breakthroughs in COVID treatments. Several more severe COVID symptoms are caused by inflammation, as the immune system overreacts to the infection.
The test group for the study was 1,500 immunocompromised people in Brazil who had been recently infected with COVID-19 and were in the high-risk category for serious illness. Half the group took fluvoxamine at home for 10 days, while the rest received a placebo.
Among participants who received the antidepressant (100 mg twice daily for 10 days), 11% needed hospitalization or extended medical care, compared to 16% of those who received a placebo marking a 32% decrease in relative risk.
The promising results could be a boon in lower-income nations, where vaccine distribution has not been as swift as it has in wealthier countries and existing COVID treatments remain too expensive for the general population.
We hope it will lead to a lot of lives saved, Dr. Edward Mills, who helped lead the research, told the Associated Press.
Questions remain, however, about the proper dosage amount of the antidepressant for COVID symptoms. Researchers will also continue studying the efficacy of Fluvoxamine mixed with other generic and lower-cost treatments. Researchers added that further evidence was needed to establish its benefit in vaccinated people, as most of the study's participants were unvaccinated.
The researchers have shared their results with the US National Institutes of Health and hope to also receive a recommendation from the World Health Organization (WHO) for Fluvoxamine treatment.
Thousands of under-15s will be offered the COVID-19 jab at school, with NHS teams visiting more than 800 schools.
Health teams are set to visit schools across England in the next week, as pupils return to school from half-term.
Jabs will be offered to unvaccinated 12-15-year-olds and students will be able to get the coronavirus vaccines at school, NHS England said.
Children can also make an appointment to visit a vaccine centre using the booking system.
More than 600,000 young people have been vaccinated since the jab rollout was extended to include 12-15-year-olds at the end of September, NHS England said.
Some 163,000 children in the age group took the jab in the week the booking system opened up for them on 22 October.
A further 140,000 have booked their jab for the next few weeks.
The government is making a push to get as many people vaccinated before the winter months set in.
Speaking from the G20 summit in Rome, Boris Johnson said that he does not anticipate another lockdown but urged over-50s to take the booster jab amid rising cases in England.
On 29 October, the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) said the high number of cases in schools where only some are vaccinated "provide the ideal conditions" for a new variant to emerge.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid said: "The vaccines are safe and will help keep children in the classroom - I encourage everyone to come forward for their jab to protect themselves and the people around them."
Dr Nikki Kanani, GP and deputy lead for the NHS COVID-19 vaccine programme, said: "As our children return to the classroom, our efforts to vaccinate children will not stop - hundreds of more schools will be vaccinating this week.
"It's really important that we continue with the same enthusiasm if we want to ensure children get to stay in the classroom with their fellow pupils this winter, and so I encourage all parents and guardians to head online and read the information on vaccinating your child, so you can make an informed decision."
Pupils are also being urged to get tested for coronavirus before returning to school to minimise disruption to lessons and ensure families can "enjoy the best" of the festive season.
Britain was last week presented with two differing pictures of Covid-19s spread across the country. Together they suggest infections have reached record levels since the pandemic began but have also raised hopes that the current high wave of cases across the UK may have peaked.
The first study is based on a random survey of households that showed about 1.28 million people in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were infected with Covid-19 for the week ending 22 October, the highest number of infections to be recorded since the pandemic began in the UK. Carried out by the Office for National Statistics, this weekly survey is rated as the most reliable measure of British infection levels.
But a second analysis based on Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) reports of new cases for the week ending 29 October suggested there had since been a 14% decline in case numbers. However, these reports are considered to be a less reliable measure of Covid-19s case numbers, leaving some uncertainty over the diseases progress in the UK.
Professor Paul Hunter of the University of East Anglia said it was too soon to say whether there was a real decline in infections, adding: If infections really are falling in line with the daily reports from the DHSC, then the earliest we would see any impact in the ONS dataset is Friday.
This point was backed by Professor Jim Naismith, director of the Rosalind Franklin Institute, Oxford, who said he expected the prevalence in England to have peaked or to be close to the peak, adding: And if England has peaked, then other numbers will start to fall. I certainly hope so 1,000 people every day are ending up in hospital and 1,000 a week are dying.
Simon Clarke, associate professor in cellular microbiology at Reading University, also warned that the health service remained badly stretched, saying: If the situation were to deteriorate further, we risk creating pressure in the healthcare system leading to reduced access to care for the most unwell. Anyone in a crash on the motorway or whose routine operation has taken a turn for the worse could find themselves without access to the intensive care unit at their local hospital.
Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine highly effective in kids 5-11, company says
Pfizer says its COVID-19 vaccine is safe and nearly 91% effective at preventing symptomatic infections in kids 5-11, based on clinical trial data released Oct. 22, 2021.
A new study out of Israel offers more insight into COVID-19 breakthrough cases, showing that many cases occur in people with lower levels of antibodies.
A breakthrough case is defined as someone who has been infected with the coronavirus despite being fully vaccinated.
Israels findings were reported in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins than bind to one's foreign invaders, like viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites.
Researchers studied 1, 497 fully vaccinated health care workers at Sheba Medical Center out of 11,453 fully vaccinated workers. All had been vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
They were tested for breakthrough infections from December 19, 2020, to April 28, 2021, due to a known exposure with someone who had COVID-19 or possible symptoms of the virus.
Thirty-nine workers had a confirmed breakthrough case, bringing the infection rate to 0.4%, Many had mild to no symptoms and none required hospitalization. The most common symptoms included respiratory congestion, muscle aches (myalgia), and loss of smell or taste. Most didnt develop a fever. Some reported having long COVID-19 symptoms such as prolonged loss of smell, persistent cough, weakness, and fatigue.
Vice President Kamala Harris rolled up a sleeve on Saturday and took a third shot of the Moderna vaccine. She previously achieved full vaccination after receiving her first dose on Dec. 29 and her second on Jan. 26.
The average age of workers with breakthrough cases was 42 and only one person was known to have a weakened immune system.
RELATED: FDA authorizes Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11
According to the study, 22 out of the 39 breakthrough cases provided results from an antibody test taken the week before their COVID-19 diagnosis. The results showed that those with a breakthrough infection had consistently lower levels of antibodies circulating in their bloodstream. On the other hand, those with high levels of antibodies were associated with greater protection and lower infectivity.
But researchers pointed out theyre not sure if waning immunity from the vaccine was also a factor in the infections. They also noted that the study was conducted before the more-transmissible delta variant sparked a surge in cases.
"Overall, these findings provide more reassurance that these vaccines are extremely effective," Dr. Francis Collins said in a National Institutes of Health blog. "Breakthrough infections, while they can and do occur, are a relatively uncommon event."

WINDOW ROCK, Ariz (ABC4)- On Saturday, health agencies within the Navajo Nation, including the Navajo Department of Health, the Navajo Epidemiology Center, and the Navajo Area Indian Health Service, published their most recent COVID-19 figures.
The Navajo health agencies report a total of 105 new COVID-19 cases for the Navajo Nation and no recent deaths. The death count is currently at 1,484. So far, 362,397 COVID-19 tests have been administered and 34,377 individuals have recovered. The case count is now at 36,653, including 40 delayed reported cases.
On Friday, the state of Arizona reported 3,691 new cases, Utah reported 1,810 cases, and NewMexico reported 1,055 new cases.
The Navajo Nation issued a Health Advisory Notice for 48 communities on Monday, Oct. 25. Officials believe there is an uncontrolled spread of the virus which is causing more people to become infected. The advisory will be in effect until there is a decline in the number of cases.
Tribe officials also recommend individuals with the following conditions to take precautions to protect themselves:
Older Adults Cancer Chronic kidney disease Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Heart conditions Immunocompromised state Obesity and severe obesity Pregnancy Sickle cell disease Smoking Type 2 diabetes mellitus
They also recommended the following safety measures:
Get vaccinated. Wear a mask in public. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are notavailable, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. Avoid touching the face, nose, and eyes with unwashed hands. Clean and disinfect vehicle, home, workspace, and other common areas on a regular basis. Social distance keep 6 feet between oneself and others. Limit gatherings with individuals outside ones immediate household.
Navajo Nation president Jonathan Nez says added precautions will be needed, especially since it is Halloween weekend.
Please be very careful, wear protective masks, and practice social distancing, Nez said. We cannot afford to have another surge in new COVID-19 cases due to Halloween activities.
Nez also asked parents to ensure their children are safe by taking precautions and adhering to the guidance of health experts. Vice President Myron Lizer repeated the same message.
For those who celebrate Halloween, we want you to be safe and reduce the chances of spreading COVID-19 by taking proper precautions, Lizer said. We do not want more of our people getting the virus and losing lives.
Health care facilities across the Navajo Nation continue to administer COVID-19 vaccines. Residents who would like to get vaccinated should schedule an appointment with their health care provider.

Forgetfulness, an inability to concentrate, a feeling that something is just off. COVID-19 survivors often describe an array of disquieting and disabling neurologic symptoms after their acute illness abates. The term brain fog was coined to encompass these neurologic complaints that patients felt were too oftendismissed or ignored.
Now, newresearchconfirms what they are telling us: 24 percent of COVID-19 survivors experience significant cognitive impairment that affects memory, executive function and processing speeds.
Of course, patients arent looking for affirmation. They need a solution and, until that day arrives, support. Unfortunately, we are even less prepared to meet these needs than we were their acute illness, no matter how sick they were and how stretched our health system has been.
Their recovery will require multisector collaboration between practitioners in health, education and industry.But this does not yet exist at any kind of meaningful scale.
To Long COVID, add the fact that assuminghistorical dataon severe respiratory failure holds,40 percent of COVID-19s critically ill patients will be out of work one yearfollowing their illness. Not by choice, but by consequence.
It has been almost a quarter century since researchersfirst publisheddata showing 75 percent of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) suffered from measurable cognitive impairment one year after illness. Follow-up research has shown thatpsychiatric distress,financial stress, physicaldeconditioning and isolation are also frighteningly common. Even pre-COVID, we werent adequately rehabilitating and supporting the vast majority of these patients, who struggled to return to normal both at work and home.
Heres the dirty secret: If we define success by whether a severely ill patient survives to hospital discharge asmost clinical trials do our health system is improving every year. If we define it as a full recovery were failing. To fix this, the health system needs to play a far more active role in these patients survivorship, but its efforts will be ineffective without collaboration with private and public entities in other fields.
Too many patients find their illness provokes a cascade of crises, like one I recently discharged from the ICU to a rehabilitation center. He hadnt walked in months and felt unrecognizable to his former self. He had been the sole source of income for his family, and now had no idea how to cover their mortgage. He wouldnt soon if ever be returning to his previous work in construction.We both understood his future was precarious.
These problems lie far beyond the scope of most of the health care workforces training or comfort. Multidisciplinaryclinicsandcollaborativesdedicated to easing the challenges of critical illness and COVID-19 survivors are growing rapidly, in part due to the attention COVID-19 has brought to the challenges of survivorship. But because of funding shortages and siloed programs, the challenge of integrating non-medical needs with clinical services at scale persists.
I recently spoke with a leader in the vocational rehabilitation program at the Texas Workforce Commission, a program designed to help individuals with disabilities obtain and retain jobs. The program is just what someone with new health-related disabilities needs, and its located less than a mile from our hospital. But she told me that most patients only found it years after discharge from severe illness because there are no systematic efforts to connect patients from our hospital with her institution.
Reform must focus on both culture and funding. Culturally, the U.S. has long siloed its social services, both in practice and in budget, so we frequently face awrong pocketproblem: Investing in people via the health care system provides long-term benefits, but the health care system isnt the financial beneficiary, so funding is difficult to obtain.
Despite burgeoning evidence that multidisciplinary programs following critical illness mightreduce readmissionsandimprove employmentprospects, these programs rely on the benevolence of institutions or research grants for their survival because remuneration does not cover expenses.
An overhaul is long overdue, and there has never been a better time. During the Delta variant COVID-19 wave, our hospital beds filled withadultsin their 40s, not vulnerable seniors. These patients arent being discharged to an assisted living facility and a waiting retirement account. They are returning to face rent, dependents and responsibilities. And they will be struggling.
Helping our critically ill COVID-19 population resume life as they knew it will require both a commitment from federal, state and local governments and new methods of collaboration among those working in education, industry and disability advocacy. Arguments over vaccines are far less productive than preventing illness and supporting its survivors.
We have long understood that recovery means more than discharge. Its time to turn that insight into action and help build the ramp to get our patients back to something they would call a normal life.
