1. “What Was Dr Tomas Ryan Doing In MIT Before He Became Ireland’s Premier Immunologist”
I’m sorry, did I say Immunologist, slip of the pen. I meant to say Neuroscientist

2. Let’s go back in time and look at Dr Tomas Ryan before he became the face of all things “Covid” on Irish television and radio. Let’s not forget that Ryan is a “Neuroscientist” and not an “Immunologist” contrary to what our media tells the public.
3. This is a fact which seems to escape any of the television channels and TV presenters as he is given free rein to talk about the Zero Covid strategy. Or could they be deliberately ignoring it and suppressing the truth? They would never do that or would they.
4. So if he is not an "Immunology" expert what is he an expert in ? Neuroscience apparently. To learn more about Ryan’s career we have to go back to his time in Massachusetts Institute Technology (MIT). In MIT his mentor and boss was a guy called Susumu Tonegawa
5. Tonegawa is a former Nobel Prize winner, has his own lab named after him at MIT and is also a member of the World Economic Forum. He also specialises in the area of “advanced gene manipulation” in Neuroscience https://www.weforum.org/people/susumu-tonegawa
6. MIT has been funded to the tune of hundreds of millions if not billions by the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation. Trinity College Dublin where Ryan now works also received funding for

7. So Ryan has been learning from the "creme de la creme", it doesn't get much better than a Nobel Prize Winner. In 2015 Ryan was the lead author of a paper on Amnesia which was published in Science and appeared on the WEF site https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2015/06/a-breakthrough-in-understanding-amnesia/
8. This paper was funded by the RIKEN Brain Science Institute, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the JPB Foundation. Tonegawa was also a Director of the RIKEN Brain Science Institute at the time of the publication. So no COI obviously.
9. What is interesting is that the paper used a technique “Optogenetics” which most commonly refers to a biological technique that involves the use of light to control neurons that have been genetically modified to express light-sensitive ion channels https://news.mit.edu/2015/optogenetics-find-lost-memories-0528
10. Optogenetics can be used for good like Alzheimers or well “not so good”. I will leave it up to your imagination as it how it can be used and abused. A clue would be the related articles from the MIT site on the same page
11. Interestingly in 2013 MIT put out a video explaining Optogenetics. Very tellingly in the video at 2.50 the guy narrating says
“So far Optogenetics has had a lot of impact in the scientific world, but it hasn’t been used in any human patients yet…
“So far Optogenetics has had a lot of impact in the scientific world, but it hasn’t been used in any human patients yet…
12...there are a couple of reasons why. One it requires a gene therapy to deliver the gene that encodes for these light activated molecules into the body. Currently in the US there are no FDA approved gene therapies”

13. Interesting that he mentioned no FDA approved gene therapies. I stand to be corrected but there still aren’t any approved ones. There are however a couple of gene editing on the market under emergency legislation as they are still in clinical trials until 2022/2023.

14. Ryan is still working closely with MIT from his lab in Trinity as this article on the MIT site proves

15. So now you know one of the areas that Dr Tomas Ryan was studying which he is no doubt working on in his lab in Ireland. The question is will it be used for the betterment of society.
4th Industrial Revolution anyone ?
