Last week, the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency approved the use of self-amplifying “vaccines” against covid. The agency has not assessed the safety or efficacy for itself; the approval is based on the European Medicines Agency’s dubious assessment.
We have written before about the potentially devastating effects of this new generation bioweapon when it was unleashed in Japan in 2024. From his own assessment, Nicholas Hulscher concludes, “The UK’s approval of this dangerous technology is a catastrophic mistake for the health of its population.”

In 2018, Imperial College London entered into a partnership with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (“CEPI”) to develop a self-amplifying RNA vaccine platform (“saRNA”) to enable tailored vaccine production against multiple viral pathogens.
“The consortium aims to develop ‘RapidVac’, a synthetic saRNA vaccine platform, which will be used to produce vaccines against influenza, rabies and Marburg, with hopes to move these products to Phase I clinical testing in humans,” Pharma Times wrote.
In June 2020, a team at Imperial College London announced that it had developed a vaccine against covid that used “bits of genetic code (called self-amplifying RNA).”
“Once inside the cell, the self-amplifying RNA produces copies of itself, which can instruct the cell’s own machinery to make the coronavirus protein,” Imperial College said. “The muscle cells will then produce lots of the spike protein … Some of the proteins will be presented on the surface of the muscle cells … When the immune system comes across these tiny spikes, it recognises them as foreign.”
Imperial College completed Phase I and II clinical trials, but due to the approval and rollout of several other covid injections, the decision was made not to proceed with trials in the UK. Instead, the team focused their UK efforts on “developing self-amplifying RNA technology to adapt to new variants, to boost other vaccines and to be deployed against future pandemic threats,” Imperial College threatened in a January 2021 article.
Imperial College has also been working on saRNA vaccines for rabies, Chikungunya, Ebola, Lassa and Marburg. It has been a key pioneer in saRNA vaccine research, particularly through its collaborations with VaxEquity and AstraZeneca, but it is the US company Arcturus Therapeutics’ saRNA vaccine that has been approved for use in the UK.
On 2 January 2026, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) approved Kostaive (also known as Zapomeran), a self-amplifying mRNA (“sa-mRNA”) covid vaccine developed by Arcturus Therapeutics, for use in adults aged 18 years and older.
Kostaive uses sa-mRNA technology, which includes genetic instructions for both the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and a viral replicase enzyme, enabling the mRNA to amplify itself within cells. The stated aim is to enhance immune response with lower doses.
As Pharma Phorum described it, “Unlike regular mRNA vaccines, sa-mRNA vaccines – as their name suggests – instruct the body to make more mRNA and protein to boost the immune response, rather than relying on a finite dose which results in protection waning over time.”
“It is administered as a single 0.5 ml booster dose by intramuscular injection into the upper arm … Once injected, the sa-mRNA in lipid nanoparticles enters cells, where it directs production of the spike protein. The immune system recognises this protein as foreign,” Pharmacally wrote.
Recognising a protein in our bodies as foreign is the problem. As Dr. Mike Yeadon explained in a video last month, making our bodies’ cells manufacture a foreign protein that our immune systems would attack results in autoimmune conditions, a self-to-self attack where our immune systems attack our own cells, thinking they are foreign invaders that need to be killed.
It would seem the vaccine industry is not satisfied with the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines waning over time, what they might refer to as “waning protection,” and so are seeking to extend the risk of autoimmune conditions through the use of saRNA “vaccines.”
The MHRA’s approval follows earlier authorisations in Japan and the European Union, where Kostaive became the first sa-mRNA (or samRNA) vaccine to be marketed. For its approval, the MHRA utilised the International Recognition Procedure (“IRP”) and, instead of performing its own, relied on assessments by the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”).
EMA and the European Commission have not been trustworthy over the approval of mRNA covid injections, and they have proved just as untrustworthy with the approval of saRNA “vaccines.” In December 2024, EMA’s European Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”) approved saRNA “vaccines” despite concerning clinical trial results that reported participant deaths and an alarming 90% of participants experiencing side effects.

The MHRA emphasised that they would perform ongoing safety monitoring through systems like the Yellow Card scheme to track adverse events as the vaccine is rolled out and becomes used more widely.
What a load of codswallop! We all know how badly the MHRA monitored the safety of other covid “vaccines” through the follow-up, or lack thereof, of data in the Yellow Card system – and we can only conclude that the MHRA, rather than tracking adverse events to look for safety signals, intends to cover them up.

In the following, Nicholas Hulscher warns about the catastrophic “mistake” the MHRA has made by approving the use of Kostaive (also known as Zapomeran).
UK Approves Experimental Self-Amplifying mRNA (Replicon) Injection – Kostaive by Arcturus Therapeutics
By Nicholas Hulscher, as published by Science, Public Health Policy and the Law
In 2024, I warned that the Biopharmaceutical Complex was preparing for the large-scale deployment of replicon (self-amplifying) mRNA injections. At that time, there were at least 33 candidates in development:
Below is the timeline of primary samRNA developments since 2022:
- APR 2025 – US FDA fast tracks Gates and BARDA- funded self-amplifying mRNA bird flu injection (Arcturus Therapeutics – ARCT – 2304)
- FEB 2025 – EU approves covid-19 samRNA injection (Arcturus Therapeutics – ARCT-154)
- NOV 2024 – US FDA authorises trial for H5N1 bird flu samRNA injection (Arcturus Therapeutics – ARCT – 2304)
- JUN 2024 – USDA approves Merck’s experimental saRNA shot for dogs and cats (Nobivac NXT)
- NOV 2023 – Japan fully approves covid-19 samRNA injection (Arcturus Therapeutics – ARCT-154)
- JUNE 2022 – India authorizes very first covid-19 samRNA injection for human use (Gennova Biopharmaceuticals – GEMCOVAC-19)
Now, first reported by Jon Fleetwood, the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) has just approved Arcturus Therapeutics’ replicon mRNA injection (Kostaive) for people aged 18 years and older.
These products behave like a synthetic virus. The replicon mRNA is designed to encode not only the target antigen but also viral replicase, enabling the mRNA to replicate itself within the target cells. This replication machinery allows for an unknown period of toxic antigen production.
During the clinical trials for Kostaive, 90% of injected participants experienced adverse events, with 74.5% reporting systemic reactions and 15.2% requiring medical attention after the first dose:

In a Phase 1 trial conducted in Uganda, Kitonsa et al tested a covid-19 replicon samRNA injection encoding the spike protein in 42 healthy adults. The findings were deeply concerning: A total of 39 Grade 3 or higher laboratory abnormality adverse events occurred after the second dose – equivalent to 93% of the trial’s participants.
Grade 3 events are defined by regulatory agencies as “severe or medically significant,” often requiring clinical intervention. The most common abnormalities were:
- Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count, internal bleeding risk).
- Lymphopenia (suppressed adaptive immune response).
- Neutropenia (lowered neutrophils, increasing infection risk).
Moreover, 85.4% of participants experienced systemic adverse events such as muscle pain, joint pain, vomiting and fever. Laboratory abnormalities intensified after the second dose, suggesting cumulative toxicity. Concerningly, these adverse events occurred in healthy adults.

Despite these red flags, the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex continues to accelerate this technology toward mass distribution.

It’s become abundantly clear that the pharmaceutical cartel and their captured regulatory agencies have zero regard for the massive safety concerns of undefined synthetic mRNA replication resulting in uncontrolled toxic antigen production. All self-amplifying mRNA injections currently available for humans and animals should be IMMEDIATELY withdrawn.
The UK’s approval of this dangerous technology is a catastrophic mistake for the health of its population.

What the Holy Bible says of this horrific decade just ahead of us.. Here’s a site expounding current global events in the light of bible prophecy.. To understand more, pls visit 👇 https://bibleprophecyinaction.blogspot.com/
Hi Rhoda,
Quite an interesting article.
We need to go back to basics, and realise the C19 fluid and the Spanish Flu fluid were made as bioweapons, to get rid of people.
Both fluids were made at Fort Detrict by the US military.
Just like the C19 fluid was designed by the US military, and contracted out to the chemical companies.
They even made a point of making the armed forces take the C19 fluid or leave the services.
They are just a gang of murder gangsters.
same to the original r c m p then it was lifted for immigration to move into the uniform
So, the only other pandemic was the 1918 “Spanish Flu” (which had nothing to do with Spain or the flu). We know the Spanish Flu was a bioweapon/vaccine gone awry for Soldiers departing for Europe in WW1.
So, no “pandemic” for over 100 years? The second “pandemic” (Covid) has been proven to be a rebranded flu at best and an intentional bioweapon at worst.
So, why would anyone think pandemics are real? ….because Govts. and their lap dog media can create fear. Evidently “Covid” didn’t kill enough.
They want you dead.
The author is cherry picking. Yes, the Uganda trials show horrendous results, but is a population of 42 test subjects statistically significant and generalizable to 8 people? Answer: No.
Also look at the Phase 3b results in the table. Can somebody explain why the placebo group had more deaths than the test group? In other words, if the test group incurred less death than the placebo group, wouldn’t that show that the particular samRNA formulation is less dangerous than being injected with saline, at least when evaluating death rates in Phase 3b.
Typo: 8 billion people.
It may not be a typo after all…latest research, stats and data are showing that we have nowhere near 8 billion people in the world and there is evidence that the number is much closer to 3 billion…
Even China is putting it out there for everyone to get busy making more children!
Everything we have been told is a LIE!
Depends what the placebo was. We already know that some trials compare new vaccines with the previous ones or adjuvants such as aluminium rather than saline. In the case of the HPV, the new version was simply trialled against the old one.
Sorry. I posted pretty much the same response before reading yours.
Everey is said or written already, thats why I dont need to state anything else!
To hell with that liars!
One of the many scams that they pull in vaccine trials is the placebo scam. Instead of using inert saline in the “placebo” group they give them something harmful such as a different vaccine or adjuvants. This gives the false impression that the toxic shots are “safe and effective”.
Have you checked what the placebo group actually got in the study you refer to or are you just assuming it is saline?

Rhoda, as usual you have hit it out of the park. I have been eyeing the research on these saRNA bioweapon shots since 2023. Ryuhei Kawada is raising the alarm, saying that he is concerned that these injections will actually infect anyone around the recipient with the jab. Since my family and I went to considerable trouble to take no Covid technology, I am very worried that these evil globalists intend to infect all of us whether we want it or not. It is not yet approved in the US, but with people traveling around the world, it may already be too late.
Hi Leslie, thank you.
With ‘normal’ mRNA vaccins the total lack of control of where, how much and how long the target protein is produced is already a problem which makes them too dangerous for use.
Now they add the step of amplification which again makes it even less clear of where, how much and how long the target will be produced.
So, instead of making the already dangerous mRNA vaccins safer, they make them more dangerous.
We don’t need much brainpower to conclude that they have BAD INTENTIONS with our health!
Well they told us themselves, “The (Gates Foundation funded) MHRA are no longer regulators, but facilitators”.
And yet there are the gormless that will line up for the latest vaccine, there is no known cure for thick!
I don’t understand. Why would any pharma, especially big pharma see it as a good idea to make products that kill their patients? – I do not see their profit in doing something like that. Because they have to know that when they take the most toxic part of a virus and start with injecting it into a body (without doing anything to deactivate it) – they are effectively poisoning the body they inject – increasing the risk for the body to be harmed by the virus.
But, then they found a way to amplify this toxic injection by putting inside “mRNA” – so that the body’s fine machinery is used to produce more of the toxic… – and then – they are still not satisfied (I guess because still too many survived)
So now, in order to counter that the body is able to produce an immune response that kick the toxic out of their body (even though already many succumb to it) – they up their game by introducing “self-amplifying” mechanism to that already devious delivery-system….
But, the only thing they are really doing – is destroying their customers. What is their economic incentive? – Would it not be much more profitable for them to produce a “miracle mixture” – that will somehow give a positive effect to the body – at least you would be able to sell the product multiple times, which would increase profit more than giving people something that is aimed at killing them.
They make products that make people chronically ill and then profit from the extra treatments given to chronically ill people. A good example of this are statins.
The “Covid” jabs have been especially lethal but far more people have been made chronically ill by them than have died thus generating vast profits.
There is no valid scientific evidence for the existence of human pathogenic viruses.
As long as people continue to convinced there is a scary, scary, scary “virus” hiding somewhere that’s going to “get them” at any moment, this madness will never stop. *Fear* is the real virus (original meaning of virus is: poison).
Hi Rob D, the virus is in the vaccine; this has been the case since the first vaccine (in 1796). In the main, that’s how they are infecting people – by injecting them with a virus.
In their language, vaccine is doublespeak for virus, i.e. virus = vaccine, just as the Department of War (pre and during WWII) is the same as the Department of Defence (post-WWII).
The question is: If people fear a “scary, scary, scary” virus why the heck are they taking vaccines?!
Pandora’s box … total insanity.
