If you read the newspapers you may not know it, but biotechnology is going through a process of collapse.
According to authoritative pharmaceutical industry online Endpoints News:
“The opening months of 2025 have offered no respite to the chilly biotech market of the last few years, biotech correspondent Kyle LaHucik reported this week. Despite the comeback everybody seems to want, there’s been a steady drumbeat of restructurings, pipeline cuts, layoffs and short-lived pivots. Kyle highlighted iTeos Therapeutics, once a darling of the anti-TIGIT class of biotechs, as an embodiment of the current struggles. iTeos had a clinical failure and lost a partnership with GSK this spring. It’s now shut down.”
The picture is stark. Biotechnology is in a terminal existential crisis. According to Raymond James bankers who provided data to Endpoints, there were six strategic reviews launched in April alone, with 30 active strategic reviews as of May 4. These strategic reviews are being conducted because biotechnology research is not delivering viable products. According to Stifel bankers, at least 168 biotechs have negative enterprise value as of May 16. And the dreariness follows 90 total restructurings in 2024. Fewer than five new biotech companies have been floated so far this year, down from 16 last year.
Biotechnology is an industry built on an exclusively materialistic paradigm of life. In fact, as everyone experiences everyday, life involves a continuous interaction between consciousness and matter, mind and body, psychology and physiology, awareness and the environment. To pretend otherwise, to ignore consciousness as the prime mover of life, as myopic bioscientists continue to do so, is a fatal error and a scientific dead end.
As a result, biotechnology is an industry built on false advertising dreams and the same kind of financial thinking that leads millions of people, who are doomed to disappointment, to buy lottery tickets every week. Five years ago a door was opened which allowed failed Covid vaccine and treatment products onto the market without long term testing. This was not just ‘on the market’, it was forced on unwilling populations as a modern day exponential expansion of Mengele style medical research. The result has been a public health disaster, as we all now know. Except for some extreme dreamers who keep their faith and belief in a biotech future. Floundering in a sea of adverse events, they are trying to save their misguided and twisted paradigm of life by pretending success is just around the corner. Vinay Prasad, Trump’s head of the CBER which regulates biotechnology, has promised “to ‘rapidly’ push even small advances for rare disease drugs.”
Reality may now be catching up with this hopeful or is it hopeless kind of thinking, but unfortunately vaccines still enjoy protection from product liability or efficacy standards. Therefore the excessive claims of the industry and the harms that result cannot be judged in the courts. Nor do their deficiencies find any but the smallest echo in the media. There are powerful monetary, government and career incentives at work here. The billions made during the pandemic from fake cures is sufficient to drive to a frenzy those who seek to profit by controlling medical, political, scientific and financial narratives. Their twisted dreams extend to rebuilding the physiology of whole populations no matter the certainty of deadly risks, the sea of unknowns or the obvious and final impossibility of the whole enterprise.
The journal Nature headlined last week “Cancer-fighting immune cells could soon be engineered inside our bodies” Because CAR T-cell gene therapy for cancer sufferers is so expensive ($800,00 per shot), risky, difficult to administer, laborious and time consuming to make. Researchers are pushing the boundaries hoping to re-engineer the body’s own cells to produce novel cancer fighting capabilities using mRNA technology. What could possibly go wrong?
The terminology of biotechnology research is a ‘dead’ give away. An article in the Guardian headlines “‘Inverse vaccines’: the promise of a ‘holy grail’ treatment for autoimmune diseases“. Which describes the ‘hope’ or is it ‘hype’ of some researchers that the genetic suppression of parts of the immune system will cure a multitude of diseases. Really??? Suppressing the immune system will cure disease and there won’t be a downside??? Note the use of the word ‘promise’ and the reference to the myth of the ‘Holy Grail’ which brings to mind a fruitless search through the ages for something that may not exist, over which bloody battles were fought.
An article in the UK Telegraph entitled Mental health sick days soar by 5m in just a year should give us a heads up. “Staff took a record 20.5m days off because of mental health conditions including stress, anxiety and depression in 2024, according to the UK Office for National Statistics, up from 14.8m in 2023.” Consciousness is not divorced from our physiology as biotech proponents assume. Altering the fundamental genetic processes of a whole population can have unforeseen yet drastic mental health consequences. No worries for the culprits though, there is nothing currently in law to ensure that anyone is required to ask WHY? or HOW?
Despite the obvious need to investigate what is causing this massive shift in mental health outcomes, the doctrine of materialism protects those responsible from self doubt or any need to be restrained or judged. Currently at least 33 self-amplifying mRNA injection candidates are in development worldwide. Arcturus Therapeutics’ COVID-19 replicon injection (ARCT-154) has already been approved in: India (June 2022), Japan (November 2023) and the EU (February 2025). According to many researchers, self amplifying vaccines have the capability to automatically spread through populations.
“Spreading through populations” is music to the ears of military strategists doggedly preparing for the end of the world. As reported by Technocracy News “Last week, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) put out a Request for Information (RFI) seeking information regarding “state-of-the-art capabilities in the simulation of disease outbreaks.” Including of course: “model lockdown, social distancing, vaccination & messaging strategies”. The RFI also asks participants “How are fatality rates and varying levels of population immunity (natural or vaccine-induced) incorporated into your simulations?” This obviously points to plans to use such failed strategies again on populations in the near future.
End of the world thinking seems to go hand in hand with the rise of mental ill health among the working population. The UK Telegraph headlines “How Britain’s biggest companies are preparing for a Third World War“. It reports that bosses want to ensure their companies can survive if ongoing conflicts ignite the global tinderbox—AKA a nuclear war. How people started to think global business will survive a nuclear war I can’t imagine. The acceptance of the unthinkable as an everyday problem of business in the modern world is almost a definition of the kind of insanity that has engulfed collective consciousness since 2020.
If you are feeling overwhelmed as I often am, take comfort from an article in the journal Risk Analysis entitled “Island refuges for surviving nuclear winter and other abrupt sunlight-reducing catastrophes“. It rates New Zealand and Australia as the places best placed to be able to weather a global catastrophe such as the mass crop failures following a nuclear war or a gigantic volcanic eruption. A caution though, we might have to start making 100% of our own stuff.
However you read current geopolitical trends and the trail of catastrophe that has dogged biotechnology experimentation, it is clear we are heading for a global transformation. Whether this is a life changing disaster or a positive phase transition is entirely up to us. By that I mean we have the power in our own consciousness to transform individual and collective life. For a forest to be green the trees have to be green. For peace to reign, individuals have to be at peace. For collective intelligence to dawn, individuals have to be alert. For the supermarkets to sell healthy food, we have to reassign our buying power at the till by making individual healthy food choices. This has to be a mass movement. All mass movements begin with individuals who are unafraid and unembarrassed to speak and act the truth. Consciousness is the greatest power in the world. It is time to rediscover that power inside ourselves.
