【文字起こし】アニメ「ヘンテコな論文⁉️」（英訳付き） / Anime "Weird Thesis?!" (Bilingual)

This article is a full transcript (Japanese-English bilingual) of the original animation "Weird Thesis?!". The story unfolds as a dialogue between Hakase-kun 👦🏻 and Doshite-chan 👧🏻 .

🔴 In Anime Part 1, they discuss a preprint (pre-peer-reviewed paper) regarding Replicon vaccine "shedding" (transmission between individuals), raising questions about the short duration of the experiment and the lack of detailed experimental methods.

🔵 In Anime Part 2, the focus shifts to the issue of DNA fragment contamination in mRNA vaccines. While touching on the risks of DNA integration into the genome (such as cancer and genetic abnormalities) and the presence of SV40 promoter sequences, the story dives deep into the "hidden intentions" behind the authors' contradictory conclusion that "although 2% genomic integration occurred in experiments, it is not a problem in humans."

Now, let's think about it.

Hey, did you hear? A weird paper came out and everyone's confused!

Huh? A weird paper?

Well, technically it's a "preprint," not an official paper yet. You know the Replicon vaccine? The one where people worried the vaccine components might shed from the vaccinated to the unvaccinated?

Oh yeah, I remember! The protests against it were huge!

Yeah. They used that Replicon vaccine, put vaccinated mice and unvaccinated mice in the same cage... and claimed they found that transmission between individuals doesn't happen. But something's off. There are absolutely no detailed experimental methods written!

Ehh?! What's that about?! Why!?

It's weird, right? Normally, a paper has to explain exactly how many mice were used and how the experiment was done, but that's missing!

What?! No details at all?! Does that mean other people can't do the same experiment to check it?

Exactly. A paper only becomes proof when others do the same experiment and get the same results. But without an explanation, no one can verify it. We don't know if they used 100 mice or just one. Since the basic "Materials and Methods" section is missing, it's not a paper—it's like someone's just talking to themselves.

Ehh! No way! What bunch of kids wrote that!?

No, that's the thing. It was written by that famous doctor on TV and several professors from big universities.

Ehh?! You're kidding!! Even that teacher I admire, and that one too?! No way!!

There's something even weirder.

Ehh!! There's more!?

They say it takes 3 weeks for the Replicon vaccine to multiply in the body, produce the spike protein toxin, and for antibodies to form against it.

For it to then transfer to another person and for them to develop antibodies, you'd need to observe for at least 2 or 3 months. But these teachers ended the experiment after just 4 weeks.

Ehh!!! Why?! Doesn't that mean they stopped before it could even transfer!?

Exactly. It makes you suspect they intentionally made the period short just to conclude that Replicon vaccines don't transfer to people...

Hakase-kun, what are you saying!? Those distinguished teachers would never cheat like that!!

...You'd think so. But this preprint shocked scientists not just in Japan but overseas too. They're furious, calling it "worth less than toilet paper"...

Ehh!! The teachers famous for the vaccine opposition movement in Japan?! No way!! Tell me it's a lie!!!

Umm... well, even if you say that...

Ehh, I don't want to believe it!!

Oh my! Hakase-kun, your face is all red! What happened?!

Ugh... I feel like my head is about to explode.

Why? Why?!

You know that weird paper I talked about before? Something even crazier was written in it!

Eh?! There's something even worse?!

Yeah, it's strange. Did you know that in mRNA vaccines, like the COVID ones, DNA fragments inevitably get mixed in during the manufacturing process?

I've heard of it, but it's too difficult for me. Why is it bad if DNA fragments are in there?!

If DNA gets integrated into your genes, there are three dangers.

First, genes can be damaged or lose their function. This is said to cause cancer.

Eeekk!!

Second, the function to create the spike protein toxin might get built into your genes, and your body could keep making spikes forever.

What did you say?!

Third, although the probability isn't high, if it integrates into the progenitor cells of sperm or eggs, the abnormality could be passed down to descendants forever.

What is that?! Those are all nightmare scenarios!! But isn't it okay since they are just fragments?

Whole or fragment, it doesn't make much difference. Damaging our DNA, which took billions of years to create, is terrifying. That's why this issue needs to be taken seriously and strictly.

Uh-huh. By the way, Hakase-kun, what was the weird thing written in that paper?

Well... the doctors who wrote this preprint tested in a test tube whether the DNA fragments in the COVID vaccine could actually integrate into the genome.

Wow! So, what was the result?!

That's the surprise. They reported that DNA fragments integrated into the genome at a rate of 2%.

Ehh?! Isn't that a huge discovery?! By the way, is 2% high? Or low?

In this field, it's a very high number. Think about it: 2% of 37 trillion cells is 740 billion. Even one cell is a big problem, but the calculation implies genome modification in 740 billion cells. It's an astonishing number.

What?! Then, naturally, these doctors must be making a huge fuss about how dangerous it is, right?!

That's the thing—it's the opposite. They concluded that while 2% integration happened in test tubes, the probability in actual human cells should be several orders of magnitude lower, so it's no problem! But they showed no evidence for why it would be lower.

Wh-what is that?! They found a huge danger, but just decided "It's A-OK!" without any proper evidence?!

Exactly. That's why my head is so confused.

But even if they're right and it's several digits lower in human cells... if 740 billion drops by 5 digits... umm, uhh... that still calculates to 7.4 million cells getting affected, right? Can you really say "no problem" to that?

You can't. If DNA gets into even one of those stem cells—the blueprint cells—abnormal cells will be produced forever.

O-Oh no...

On top of that, the DNA in the Pfizer vaccine contains SV40, a promoter sequence from a cancer virus.

What's that! I heard there are many people getting "turbo cancer," where terminal cancer develops at incredible speed since the vaccines started. Could that be the work of this SV40 thing?!

You're sharp, Doshite-chan! In other words, what we fear might already be happening. Many scientists and volunteers are pointing this out and calling for a halt to mRNA vaccines.

However, the government and pro-vaccine doctors just lightly say, "The DNA amount is tiny, so it's no problem. The chance of genomic integration is extremely low."

Even though real experts strongly point out that since the DNA fragments in this vaccine are wrapped in an oil membrane called LNP, they are highly likely to easily integrate into the genome!

Looking at the surging turbo cancers and excess deaths in vaccinated countries, it's certainly not the time to be saying "It's A-OK!", is it?!

Wow, you really are sharp! ...That's why I can't understand why these teachers, who are supposed to be anti-mRNA vaccine, are saying the same things as the proponents, like "It enters the genome at 2% in experiments, but it's okay, don't worry!" My head is just spinning.

Hakase-kun! ...There's no way the teachers I admire, who have fought against the COVID vaccine until now, are the same as the proponents! There must be a hidden agenda!

H-Hidden agenda? Like what?

Umm, uhh...

Ah, I got it!! They did it on purpose! On pur-pose!

They discovered a disaster happening with a high probability of 2%, so they reassure the general public with "It's A-OK!", but their real goal is to signal the danger to scientists around the world, isn't it?!

That... that's some mental gymnastics... Then what about what I said before? Where they concluded "Replicon vaccines don't transfer to people" by cutting the study short before it could even happen?

Th-That's also to keep the public calm while letting experts know, "It might transfer after 4 weeks!"

Ah, come to think of it, in that graph, the antibody titers of the unvaccinated mice did look like they were rising a bit at the end.

See?! See?! ...Those teachers really are heroes warning the world of danger!!

Yay! I feel so refreshed!

I-Is that so...?! Somehow my head hurts even more...

Composed for the opening and background music. A fanfare-like piece that confronts the unknown. I named it "Inquiry." It fills you with excitement.

Composed for the ending. A mystery-style track full of intrigue. I named it "Curiosity." It gives you a thrill.
