VIRUSECRECY SHOCK: Pfizer product 28% more lethal than Astrazeneca’s​

March 6, 2021 by IWB
by John Ward

The art of lassoing ether

The vaccine side-effects data at last released by MHRA are mysteriously incomplete and somewhat amateurish, but they do continue to point a finger at the Pfizer product’s innate problems. The Slog crunches the numbers and concludes that comparing it with the Astrazeneca offering more carefully could have saved 11,400 elderly lives….and asks: why are we not tracking every vaccinated patient as a matter of course?

THE STORY SO FAR: having started off with PHE as a data collection source for The Great Plague, the UK government then discovered (after several large hints from the blogosphere) that an outrageous level of over-counting of “Covid19” had been taking place….as in 22% too high. It then became clear on top of that that how deaths with and from the virus were not being differentiated. “Enough!” proclaimed Matt Hancock – PHE shall be abolished immediately….which meant two months from now, in Spring 2021.

Except it isn’t being abolished, it’s being merged with with the NHS Test and Trace service and the Joint Biosecurity Centre to form a new agency, the National Institute for Health Protection….thus joining forces with the goons who gave us a testing service about as reliable as a cheesecloth condom…..and our old friend, top Spook Sir Mark Sedwill.

Two weeks ago, the ONS declared it would collate C19 vaccine performance data by using the WHO’s figures (which shows how much faith they have in NIHP doing it); meanwhile, myself and thousands of other sites have been saying NO to jibberings about ‘not much’ or ‘almost nobody’ and NO to data collected via the spurious Yellow Card scheme, but YES to proper examination of all 20 million UK vaccinations by vaccine type, with the database size and demographics set out in full.

Still not confused? Don’t worry, you soon will be….

It’s unclear what effect the pressure applied to dump Virusecrecy has had on the Whiteminster Sink Estate, but the day before yesterday the MHRA changed tack and published a fair proportion of what we’d been asking for. However, the first things to note are:

1.There is no ALL VACCINATIONS database from which to calculate rates of side-effect and death, or biases by demographic. So as a potential comparison to not using vaccines, the data is useless. (It’s worth noting that no private pharmaceutical submission for full safety status on a drug would be given purely on such raw numbers; but then, “do as I say not as I do” is standard practice in the New Normal Top-Down State)

2.There is an attempt to suggest that MHRA has been recording these data since December, but here too there are anomalies: there is a claim that the data period “just updated” covers the period December 21 – February 21, but the ‘earlier updates’ button is dead:

The fact is, nothing appeared on February 5th….again giving credence to the idea that the State’s arm has been twisted into producing something credible. Related to this reality is the extraordinary decision to only take spontaneous data received, as opposed to using tracking for every vaccination. Vaccinnees who go on to die a week later are hardly likely to complain of that eventuality.

So we are left with 29,715 reports and 212 deaths among the Pfizer labrats…..and 42,917 reports with 244 dead for the Astrazeneca guinea pigs.

In both cases, we are looking at 3-4 side effects per respondent. The MHRA blithely writes ‘The overall safety experience with both vaccines is so far as expected from the clinical trials. Based on current experience, the expected benefits of both COVID-19 vaccines in preventing COVID-19 and its serious complications far outweigh any known side effects.’

Now this is where handing the task to the ONS would have been so much better a decision from the citizen’s viewpoint….because there is no way they would’ve drawn such a conclusion: these and other data simply don’t support it. Hancock says the falling case-rates are down to the vaccines (but can’t support causality with data), while even the Pharmcos concerned do not claim either Covid immunity or reduced transmission for their products. In turn, 3-4 side effects for anyone over eighty aren’t going to be a lot of fun….but we can’t see that of course, because there is no demographic data. Curiouser and curiouser.

THE BIG FINDING EVERYONE’S MISSED

However, let’s look further at one very big doggy scrotal sac in the data so far which – to the best of my knowledge – everyone has missed. On the basis of these recieved data, the Pfizer product is around 28% more lethal than Astrazeneca’s product (212 deaths out of 29,715 plays 244 deaths out of 42,917).

This is especially significant given the Israeli data where only the Pfizer product was involved.

Did this become apparent during the clinical trials? And if so, why was the Pfizer alternative allowed to go ahead?

The numbers involved (5 deaths per thousand versus 7 per thousand) may seem small to the layman. But if you’re vaccinating for example the 5.7 million people aged over 75 in the UK, then using the Astrazeneca product alone could have saved 11,400 lives.

As always, the data we’re given leaves huge areas of doubt and raises more questions than answers. These numbers confirm my assertion of yesterday that there is a problem with the Pfizer product….but without proper records, we cannot say definitively who or what it’s better or worse for.

I continue to ask myself why the State prefers confusion and fear to clarity. I continue to suspect that there is still far more we don’t know. And I continue to despair at the complicity of the media.

There is nobody we can trust in public life. But there is now every sign that only a grass roots mass movement of common sense is going to put the 0.1% back in their box.

The time for the wisdom of worldly crowds has arrived. More details to follow.

Texas Sues Pfizer Over Tainted Children's Drugs​

BY TYLER DURDEN
TUESDAY, NOV 21, 2023 - 04:45 AM

Link: https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/texas-sues-pfizer-over-tainted-childrens-drugs/

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued Pfizer and Tris Pharma "for defrauding the Texas Medicaid program by providing adulterated pharmaceutical drugs to Texas children."


Specifically, Pfizer's ADHD drug "Quillivant XR" was "knowingly distributed" to children on Medicaid despite the drugmaker's "pattern of failing quality control tests" due to a flawed manufacturing process by Tris, which Pfizer contracted with to produce the drug, according to the complaint.
"I am horrified by the dishonesty we uncovered in this investigation," said Texas AG Ken Paxton. "Pfizer and Tris intentionally concealed and failed to disclose the issues with Quillivant to receive taxpayer funded benefits through Texas Medicaid, defrauding the state and endangering children. Our Civil Medicaid Fraud Division has done an outstanding job holding these pharmaceutical companies accountable."

According to the filing, "At no point did Defendants warn Texas Medicaid providers or decision-makers that Quillivant had known manufacturing issues affecting its efficacy, thereby depriving the Medicaid program of the crucial information it relies on.… As a result, thousands of Texas children received an adulterated Schedule II Controlled Dangerous Substance."
The lawsuit, initially filed under seal, was unsealed at the AG's request.

Ken Paxton Takes On Pfizer: Lawsuit Alleges Deceptive Claims And Censorship Surrounding COVID-19 Vaccine​

Written By BlabberBuzz | Friday, 01 December 2023 12:00

Link: https://www.blabber.buzz/conservati...nding-covid-19-vaccine?utm_source=mid-day-GI/



In a recent development, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated legal proceedings against pharmaceutical behemoth Pfizer.

The lawsuit, filed on Thursday, accuses the company of "unlawfully misrepresenting the effectiveness of its COVID-19 vaccine and attempting to stifle public discourse about the product."
The Attorney General's office, in a press statement, claimed that Pfizer had contravened the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The company allegedly engaged in "false, deceptive, and misleading acts and practices" by making unsubstantiated assertions about its COVID-19 vaccine.

Pfizer had previously declared that its vaccine had a 95 percent efficacy rate, a claim that the lawsuit labels as "highly misleading." The lawsuit elaborates, "Pfizer’s widespread representation that its vaccine possessed 95% efficacy against infection was highly misleading from the outset.

This figure was only ever valid in a singular, highly technical, and artificial manner—it represented a calculation of the so-called 'relative risk reduction’ for vaccinated individuals in Pfizer’s then-unfinished pivotal clinical trial."

The lawsuit further points out that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publications suggest that 'relative risk reduction' is a deceptive statistic that can unduly sway consumer choice.

The lawsuit also criticizes Pfizer's reliance on clinical trial data spanning two months, during which only 162 out of 17,000 placebo patients received the Covid vaccine. The lawsuit argues, "Based on these figures, vaccination status had a negligible effect on whether a trial participant contracted COVID-19. The risk of contracting COVID-19 was so minimal during this brief period that Pfizer’s vaccine only marginally improved a person’s risk of infection."

The lawsuit also highlights instances in late 2021 where some regions reported "negative vaccine efficacy," implying that more vaccinated individuals contracted the virus than those who were not vaccinated. It also mentions areas where Covid rates increased despite a rise in vaccination.

The lawsuit alleges, "How did Pfizer react when it became clear that its vaccine was failing and the viability of its cash cow was in jeopardy? By intimidating those spreading the truth, and by conspiring to censor the vaccine’s critics. Pfizer labeled as 'criminals' those who disseminated facts about the vaccine. It accused them of spreading “misinformation.”

And it pressured social media platforms to silence prominent truth-tellers. In fact, Pfizer even went so far as to request that social media platforms silence a former FDA director because his comments could “driv[e] news coverage” critical of the vaccine."

Had You Known, Would You Have Taken the Jab?​

by Brownstone Institute

The steep drop in demand for Covid shots reveals how Pfizer depended upon fraud to promote their most lucrative product.

Once Americans knew the truth, demand dropped by over 75%.

Would 92% of American adults have gotten a Covid shot had they known the “vaccines” only offered a 0.85% reduction in risk? Would young men have taken the jab if they had known it did not prevent transmission?

Americans came to understand that the media campaigns supporting the shots were fraudulent. The touted benefits – preventing infection and transmission – were lies. In response, fewer than one in five Americans elected to receive “boosters” despite multi-billion dollar propaganda campaigns.


Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has now brought a suit to bring accountability for the fraud that resulted in record profits for the pharmaceutical industry. Last week, he filed a complaint alleging that Pfizer misrepresented Covid vaccine efficacy and “conspired to censor public discourse” in violation of Texas’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA).

While Big Pharma enjoys immense government-provided insulation from legal liability for vaccine injuries, it cannot lie to promote those products.

Paxton alleges that the $75 billion Pfizer has raked in through sales of Covid vaccines were the “direct and proximate result” of the company’s deceit.
https://www.infowarsstore.com/the-g...=banner&utm_content=greatawakeningautographed
The DTPA requires Paxton prove two questions to succeed in his case. First, he must establish that the company lied or failed to disclose known information concerning its Covid vaccine. Second, he must prove that the company’s fraud was designed to promote sales of the shots.

Brownstone previously analyzed the applicability of the DTPA against Moderna. Now, Paxton’s lawsuit threatens Pfizer with fines of $10 million as well as awards of “restitution, damages, or civil penalties.”

Paxton’s case argues that Pfizer deceived the public on three issues: (1) the efficacy of the vaccine; (2) whether the shots reduced the risk of transmission; and (3) the company’s efforts to “censor[] persons who threatened to disseminate the truth.”


In each instance, the company skewed the public debate in order to induce Americans to take its shots. The efforts stripped us of the right to informed consent, deceiving us on purported benefits while hiding established risks.

Efficacy​

First, Paxton targets the now-familiar falsehoods that the company, led by CEO Albert Bourla, touted, including that the shots had “95% efficacy” and worked against mutations of the virus.

Paxton’s critiques do not require the benefit of hindsight. Pfizer’s own data showed that the vaccine was merely 0.85% effectivein reducing the likelihood that an individual would contract Covid (known as absolute risk reduction). Put differently, Pfizer’s clinical data showed that “preventing one COVID-19 case required vaccinating 119.”

Despite this unconvincing data, Bourla claimed there was “initial evidence of our vaccine’s ability to prevent Covid-19.” Bourla later said that the shots had “100%” efficacy rates against mutations of the virus, including the Delta variant. Not only was this a lie, Pfizer never tested the shots against the variants. Still, in May 2021 he baselessly claimed that “no variant identified so far…escapes the protection of our vaccine.”

Three months later, the company issued a press release saying that boosters would “preserve and even exceed the high levels of protection against…relevant variants.” Shortly thereafter, the United States exercised its option to purchase 500 million more doses of Pfizer’s Covid vaccines.

These lies clearly and directly induced Americans to take products with illusory benefits. The claims were fabricated, and they led to billions of dollars in windfalls for Bourla and Pfizer.

Transmission​

Pfizer’s marketing relied on convincing healthy young adults and teenagers to get shots despite the negligible risk that Covid posed to them. Bourla used transmission to launch a moral blackmail campaign. He told teenagers that they should get the shots to “protect…their loved ones.” He later tweeted, “widespread vaccination is a critical tool to help stop transmission.”

Under oath, company officials later admitted that they had never tested whether the vaccines reduced transmission.

In October 2022, Pfizer spokeswoman Janine Small appeared at a European Parliament hearing. “Was the Pfizer Covid vaccine tested on stopping transmission of the virus before it entered the market?” asked Dutch MEP Rob Roos. “No!” Small responded emphatically. “We had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market; and from that point of view, we had to do everything at risk.”

Under the DTPA, Paxton must prove that the company misrepresented information regarding the vaccine in an effort to promote sales of its products. With the vast majority of Americans under 70 facing zero substantial risk from Covid infection, the lies regarding transmission were critical to expand the customer base.

This deception underpinned the mandates in 2021 as government and corporate officials insisted that vaccination was necessary to keep healthy adults’ coworkers and neighbors safe. By December 2021, Pfizer’s stock price had doubled from the onset of the pandemic in February 2020.

Censorship​

As Pfizer committed to deceiving the public, it had to ensure that journalists would not uncover its corporate misdeeds. Paxton’s suit outlines how the company “sought to intimidate and silence…journalist Alex Berenson.”

As Berenson reported on the efficacy, or lack thereof, of mRNA “vaccines,” Pfizer Board Member Dr. Scott Gottlieb colluded with Twitter to silence his reporting. In August 2021, Berenson tweeted that Pfizer’s vaccine “doesn’t stop infection…[o]r transmission,” and had a“limited window of efficacy.” Despite the veracity of these statements, Gottlieb wrote to Twitter officials encouraging them to ban Berenson’s heresy.

Hours later, Berenson received a permanent ban (he was later reinstated following a lawsuit). Now, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla is a defendant in Berenson’s case against the Biden Administration, which accuses White House officials of colluding with private actors in Big Tech and Big Pharma to usurp Berenson’s First Amendment rights.

Paxton’s case also outlines how Pfizer worked to silence scientists who discussed the benefits of natural immunity, calling the rhetoric “corrosive” to the public’s confidence in their products. The aim was simple: shield Americans from the truth so that they would continue to get the product.

A Rare Opportunity to Strike Back​

To this point, “victories” against the hegemon that emerged in 2020 have been defensive in nature. Groups have fended off vaccine mandates, states have resisted calls for renewed lockdowns, and journalists have begun to expose the corruption that shattered Western civilization.

These efforts, though important, have failed to bring accountability against those who usurped our civil liberties and pillaged the national treasury. Paxton’s suit strikes at the heart of the corruption behind the Covid regime: how their success required mass deception and their profits depended on lies.

Though $10 million in fines is little compared to the $75 billion in revenue that Pfizer raked in from vaccines alone, the suit signifies that the resistance is at last on the offensive.

Big Pharma sees this is a grave threat, and its lobbying forces led a failed impeachment effort against Paxton this fall. They threw him out of his office, and disabled his ability to do his job that the voters sent him to do. Turning up nothing, the legislature rejected the entire drama. Now he is back and working and this is the result: accountability at last.

The steep drop in demand for Covid shots reveals how Pfizer depended upon fraud to promote their most lucrative product. Once Americans knew the truth, demand dropped by over 75%.

Now, Paxton’s suit brings that fraud to trial.

BOMBSHELL: New Zealand Whistleblower Exposes COVID Mass Genocide Plan

 

[Apollonian]

New Zealand whistleblower who courageously exposed data on COVID vaccines killing citizens now faces a 7 year prison sentence

12/10/2023 // Lance D Johnson

Link: https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-12...d-covid-vax-data-7-year-prison-sentence.html/

A New Zealand whistleblower, who exposed the mortality rate from individual COVID-19 vaccine lots, was arrested and faces an aggressive government retribution scheme that seeks to silence and punish him.

Journalist Liz Gunn was first to interview the whistleblower, whose name is Barry Young. He worked for the New Zealand government and had access to vaccine-related data from providers across the country. When he noticed that people were dying after vaccination, he decided to publicize the data.

This act of bravery has been met with cruel acts of totalitarianism. The Young's home has been raided by police; he has been arrested; and the New Zealand government forced an injunction that “prevents any publication of the data.” The Employment Relations Authority of New Zealand also reports that Barry Young has had all of his access to the projects system removed. He now faces a 7 year prison sentence. As of December 3rd, journalist Liz Gunn is sounding the alarm, calling for a “global effort” to get this story out.

New Zealand government trying to coverup crimes against humanity from COVID-19 vaccines​

During the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines and medical tyranny, the government of New Zealand established a public health agency called Te Whatu Ora. On July 1, 2022, this agency replaced the country’s 20 district health boards (DHBs), effectively nationalizing management of healthcare services in New Zealand. The new agency consolidates the DHB’s combined work force of 80,000, and is allotted an annual operating budget of NZ $20?billion.

While the Ministry of Health sets health policy, strategy, and regulation, Te Whatu Ora is tasked with things like providing a vaccine payment system for medical providers across the country.

These agencies have immense power over people's lives, are financially tied to the corruption inside the pharmaceutical industry, and provide a revolving door between government regulators, policy makers, and an unaccountable vaccine industry. Could this new government agency be running a coverup operation for the vaccine industry, as they injure and kill untold numbers of people with so-called safe and effective vaccines?

New Zealand government goes after courageous whistleblower​

Whistleblower Barry Young disclosed government data on individual vaccine lots. According to the data, a shocking proportion of individuals have died shortly after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. After going public with the data, the New Zealand government raided his home. Young now faces a seven-year prison sentence for exposing the mortality data after COVID-19 vaccination taken directly from Te Whatu Ora.

Young broke down the data according to vaccine batch. Most of the batches studied were from Pfizer. The first batch consisted of 711 vaccinated individuals. Young claims that 152 (21%) of these individuals died soon after taking the shots. Another healthcare provider administered 621 doses. Of those, 104 (17%) of the vaccinated individuals died soon thereafter. During his interview with Gunn, the whistleblower said, “This should never happen, the percentage who die from what would be a normal vaccination administration would be 0.75 percent.”

Barry was one of the architects of the system that tracked vaccine-related data for the government. When he recognized that people were dying a week after being vaccinated, he decided to download and share the data with the world. Instead of being honored for exposing these atrocities, Barry Young now faces a corrupt communist government that seeks to punish him for his honesty and courage.

The government is charging Young with accessing a government computer system for “dishonest purposes.” The corrupt prosecutors are accusing him of spreading “misinformation” and opposed his release on bail. He faces a seven year prison sentence for telling the truth.

Since the story got out, Barry was received supported in court and has been released from jail. In an interview after his release, Barry defended the data and said, "The government needs to listen to the people. What has happened is wrong...These things need to be looked at. They can put me in jail. They can cage me, but they can never cage the truth."

Pfizer facing multiple lawsuits after failing to disclose the presence of toxic DNA fragments in COVID-19 vaccines

12/13/2023 // Zoey Sky // 4.5K Views

Link: https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-12-13-pfizer-lawsuits-failure-disclose-dna-covid-vaccines.html/

[see vid at site link, above]

Multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology corporation Pfizer is now facing several lawsuits after it failed to disclose information about a DNA sequence used in the Pfizer-BioNTech Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine to regulators.

Testing of Pfizer vaccine reveals traces of Simian Virus 40 (SV40)​

Testing by outside scientists revealed that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine contained a Simian Virus 40 (SV40) DNA sequence. However, the public was never informed about the presence of the DNA sequence.

Regulators from both Canada and Europe have acknowledged that Pfizer and BioNTech did not highlight the sequence, which they should have, although regulatory submissions revealed the full DNA sequence of the vaccine plasmid.

Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has refused to divulge whether the companies informed the agency about the sequence. The FDA insists that no safety concerns have been identified from the residual DNA left behind by the SV40 sequence, despite showing no evidence to support its claim.

According to independent researchers, the SV40 DNA could be linked to the various health issues observed in people who received the COVID-19 vaccine, which include cancer. However, other experts think that further testing is required to prove a link.

The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act), largely protects COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers from lawsuits. But companies can still be sued for "willful misconduct," which includes acts taken "intentionally to achieve a wrongful purpose."

Under a declaration by former Health Secretary Alex Azar in 2020, COVID-19 vaccines fall under the PREP Act. This act is aimed at allowing a more timely response to a health emergency and grants widespread immunity to manufacturers of vaccines and treatments, along with administrators of the drugs.

The protection is still in place because of extensions through both the Trump and Biden administrations.

Lawsuits incoming for vaccine makers​

There is considerable disagreement on whether the DNA sequence is harmful to humans, with some experts saying it may have caused a number of adverse effects, including some cancers, while others suggest its inclusion is harmless. (Related: Pfizer CUTS COSTS after significant decline in uptake of COVID-19 vaccine and Paxlovid.)

Mat Staver, chairman of Liberty Counsel, suggested that the issue involves "willful misconduct." He added that it's unlikely the FDA knew about this. And while the PREP Act has mostly prevented lawsuits concerning the COVID-19 vaccines, several recent developments could change that.

Back in August, a Michigan judge ruled in the case of a man who had to have his leg amputated after receiving remdesivir, Gilead Sciences' COVID-19 drug treatment, that the drug manufacturer was not protected by the PREP Act. Remdesivir was allegedly contaminated with glass particles.

The other development that could see Big Pharma's immunity waived is the revelation that Pfizer's COVID vaccine contains fragments of the SV40 sequence. These issues could help plaintiffs "pierce that legal immunity that's otherwise provided by the PREP Act."

Staver said that aside from personal injury firms and organizations, Liberty Counsel is also considering filing lawsuits due to the recent developments.

Liberty Counsel has previously been involved in several major suits involving COVID-19 vaccines, including some with military members who were denied their request for religious exemption from the military's COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The firm helped win orders blocking the military from discharging those members.

To date, both Pfizer and BioNTech have not returned requests for comment.

Warner Mendenhall, an American lawyer, explained that lawyers are considering taking a different approach. "The latest conversation that we've been talking about ... is whether we have access right now, at least for some people, to prove battery," he said.

Informed consent requires having information, "and nobody knew about the SV40," explained Mendenhall. Without this knowledge, vaccine recipients could not properly give consent.

"And if you haven't consented, and somebody does something to you without being informed and given proper consent, it's called battery. So, there is some opening for battery cases. And we're in discussions right now, and those may be able to be brought as what are called mass torts or mass cases. So we're working on that," explained Mendenhall.

Moderna Halts mRNA Vaccine Trial For Young Peope Due To Suspected Heart Damage​

Link: https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/moderna-...or-young-peope-due-to-suspected-heart-damage/

November 29, 2023 Niamh Harris

Moderna has been forced to halt an early-stage clinical trial for its mRNA Epstein-Barr virus vaccine in adolescents.

Investigators stopped the trial after one of the participants developed a suspected case of myocarditis.

According to Unreported Truths: The case “necessitates an immediate suspension of all dosing for ALL adolescents,” an investigator at the company that is supervising the trial for Moderna wrote, adding, “Please confirm understanding and receipt of this urgent communication.”

The trial subjects should continue to be monitored for safety, the investigator wrote. About 150 adolescents are in the trial, along with 272 people aged 18-30.
A person not employed by Moderna, which makes the Spikevax Covid vaccine, provided the email to Unreported Truths.
Moderna did not disclose the trial halt, which occurred before stock markets opened for trading Thursday, to investors. Moderna stock is down about 85 percent from its highs in 2021, as sales of Spikevax lag, but it remains among the most valuable biotechnology companies, with a $30 billion market value.
(All Dosing Must Pause Immediately! A partial subject line from the email sent halting the trial. Note the email time stamp – before Moderna stock opened for trading Thursday.)

The Epstein-Barr virus, which causes mononucleosis, is one of Moderna’s leading candidates for new vaccines. The company has told investors it could reach billions of dollars in sales a year.

But the trial halt raises questions for Moderna and mRNA jabs that go far beyond the Epstein-Barr vaccine – officially called mRNA-1189 – alone.
The vaccine uses essentially the same design as Moderna’s Covid shot. Both jabs include a strand of modified mRNA surrounded by a tiny fat globule called a “lipid nanoparticle,” or LNP.
