In a recent substack post I touched upon the subject of research funding. I included a link to ongoing research into the role played by aluminium adjuvants in vaccine injury and specifically autism. I am always wary of how and why I support scientific research. I still believe that I have a reputation to protect! In the main I support a person and not specifically a project. This approach has stood me in good stead.
During my last five years as an active scientist at Keele I became increasingly reliant upon philanthropy and specifically donations as a source of research funding. You can read about this here if you are interested. In truth I was greatly humbled by the number of donations I received from the great unwashed who were following my research. Individuals I did not know from Adam would donate their hard-earned money, from a few pounds/dollars to many thousands, without asking for anything in return. In many ways it was this belief in what we were trying to do and not just the money that spurred my group and I on to produce some of our best and most important research. One example, of several, being this study. It was probably the unconditional support of myriad and burgeoning individuals that scared Keele and their ‘major funding partners’ into pulling the plug on my career.
Recently I was reminded of this unconditional support when, out of the blue, a subscriber to this substack made a ‘pledge’ of $8 a month. I am certain that donors all have their own reasons for pledging support. However, overriding all is probably the simple wish to help. My content on substack is free. I write for myself and I get pleasure from knowing that others also get some pleasure from reading my musings. With this in mind the recent pledge did set me thinking as to how many others out there would like to donate and how such might become a useful source of funding, perhaps even supporting scientific research. Nearly two thousand of you have subscribed to my substack (quite unbelievable really) it would be interesting to have your thoughts about the ideas raised in this latest musing.
A Musing on Funding
Personally, I'd far rather make a monthly, if small, donation to an authentic scientist such as yourself than to charities that are effectively "big businesses" and aren't actually looking for a real solution to the cause they support. I'd also consider it far more useful than buying a lottery ticket! So, count me in, if that is the way to go!
We have to stop deluding ourselves... The entire system is hopelessly corrupt and rigged AGAINST actual scientific evidence and research, because the entire system PROFITS from poisoning everyone with all sorts of toxic garbage and this works best with the truth censored...
As we've seen most recently with the massive 'covid' psy-op and the poison covid vaccines. But there were plenty of situations like this before, like the entire childhood vaccine barrage and aluminum (which is still being conveniently ignored). Or the assault of neurotoxic pesticides (DDT) causing Polio before that. Leaded gasoline. And on. And on. Constant battles that need to be fought, and it is never easy. The most valuable weapon in those fights is just the simple, evidence-based truth of what is going on.
So if we want any light shined on this stuff, we will have to find people like Dr Exley and support him to find evidence and proof. It does seem like a drop in the bucket, when the government is handing out billions of dollars of our tax money to 'scientists' and pharma corporations to provide propaganda to hide the truth (and oftentimes poison us as well). But it's worth trying, because once people know, they know... And more know all the time.
A lot of writers on substack expect people to pay $60 / year for their blog musings, which, I mean, good for them I guess if they get a lot of subscribers.. But are they giving you 3 hard cover books worth of great writing a year? I can't justify (or afford) paying for those substacks. But to help fund actual research, by a scientist with integrity, which might make an actual positive impact on the current horrible miserable bleak state of things? I would do that... Call it a donation or whatever, but it's definitely worthwhile. A small amount of truth cuts through mountains of propaganda and lies...
So short version, yes, I would donate to help Dr Exley continue doing valuable research. Thanks for all you've done, Chris, and I hope you are able to do more in the future!
