“Alien” From The Atacama Desert Turns Out To Be A Baby With Genetic Disorders
Geneticists managed to unravel the mystery of the “alien” creature, the remains of which were found in the Atacama Desert in 2003.
For many years, scientists could not give an answer to the question of the origin of this creature, and ufologists considered the find to be evidence of alien life.
Scientists at Stanford University have solved the puzzle. Their research was published in Genome Research.
The skeleton of an unknown creature, 15.5 centimeters long, with an elongated skull and 10 pairs of ribs, was found in 2003 by the treasure hunter Oscar Munio.
He found a mysterious creature inside a leather sack, wrapped in white cloth tied with a ribbon, near an abandoned church in La Noria cemetery in the Chilean Atacama desert.
Scientists who originally investigated the find rejected the idea that the skeleton belonged to a human infant, on the grounds that humans have 12 pairs of ribs, while the foundling had only 10.
The mysterious creature was given the nickname Ata. In 2013, he starred in one of the episodes of the UFO documentary, which only convinced ufologists all over the world that this is really an alien skeleton.
Recently, however, geneticists from Stanford University in San Francisco and the University of California decided to study the DNA of the find.
It turned out that the remains belonged to a human infant who died about four decades ago. The reason for the “alien” type of fetus lies in the presence of multiple genetic mutations that led to the death of the child immediately after childbirth or even in the womb.
Scientists have discovered mutations in seven genes at once, which, together or separately, lead to various bone deformities, facial malformations and skeletal dysplasia, which is better known as dwarfism.
Experts believe that the study of the case with Ata will help in further studies of dysplasia and one day, perhaps, will solve this problem.

Experts Declare Experimental Cancer Vaccine Based On mRNA Technology Is ‘Safe and Effective’
A new cancer vaccine based on Covid mRNA vaccine technology
which has yet to be clinically tested has already been declared “safe
and effective” by the British government.
Known as ‘LungVax’,
the new vaccine is being developed by the University of Oxford, the
Francis Crick Institute and University College London, and is expected
to be the first of a huge range of new cancer vaccinations available in
the near future.
Research scientists developing the ‘groundbreaking’ lung cancer
vaccine claim it will be effective in preventing up to 90 per cent of
cases by training the immune system to locate and attack early signs of
disease.
Lung cancer cells look different from normal cells due to having ‘red
flag’ proteins called neoantigens. The LungVax vaccine will carry a strand of DNA which trains the immune system to recognize these neoantigens on abnormal lung cells.
It will then instruct the immune system to destroy these cells and stop lung cancer.
Professor Tim Elliot, lead researcher at the University of Oxford, said: ‘Cancer
is a disease of our own bodies and it’s hard for the immune system to
distinguish between what’s normal and what’s cancer.
‘Getting the immune system to recognize and attack cancer is one of the biggest challenges in cancer research today.”
Elliot admitted the new vaccine is based on technology used to create the Covid vaccine.
‘This research could deliver an off-the-shelf vaccine based on
Oxford’s vaccine technology, which proved itself in the Covid pandemic.
Remarkably, given the disastrous health consequences for those
vaccinated with the experimental Covid vaccines, Eilliot praised the
mRNA roll out as a success.
‘If we can replicate the kind of success seen in trials during
the pandemic, we could save the lives of tens of thousands of people
every year in the UK alone.’
Researchers have been granted up to £1.7 million from Cancer Research UK and the CRIS Cancer Foundation.
The team will receive funding for the study over the next 2 years to
support lab research and initial manufacturing of 3,000 doses of the
vaccine at the Oxford Clinical BioManufacturing Facility.
If successful, the vaccine will move straight into a clinical trials,
involving those at biggest risk of disease, such as current and former
smokers who currently qualify for targeted lung health checks in some
parts of the UK.
Elon Musk’s X must be “shut down” by government because dangerous “conspiracy theories” are spreading on the social media platform, according to British TV host Jeremy Vine.
“If there any argument to say, and this will sound crazy, but
China does it, we’ve got to now take control of Twitter and shut it down
for the time being,” said Vine.
Vine made the comments earlier this week during a heated debate
regarding speculation surrounding the health and whereabouts of Kate
Middleton, the Princess of Wales.
Boomers have become obsessed with speculating that Middleton has died or is severely unwell and that the Royal Family is hiding it because she hasn’t been seen in months after an operation.
The manipulation of a series of photo of Middleton and her children also only served to fuel the rumors, as some sources close to the princess claimed she had been murdered by the royal family.
However, instead of dismissing the whole issue for what it is, a pointless distraction that will disappear once Middleton makes a public appearance around Easter, Vine called for draconian measures.
Modernity report:
Ah yes, the Communist dictatorship of China, which shuts down the Internet to clamp down on dissent and enhance its repression of undesirables.
That’s definitely who we should be mimicking, Jeremy.
Throughout the COVID pandemic, Vine’s show was a platform for some of the most vulgar, authoritarian drivel imaginable.
One show asked if children who are unvaccinated should be banned from schools or made to wear special badges.
Another asked, “Is it time to ban the unvaccinated from traveling?”
Vine has made a name for himself as being a dutiful amplifier of regime messaging, while his annoying side hobby of biking around London looking to film confrontations with motorists has also angered many.
