COVID-19: The Most Crucial Question

Most research scientists worldwide belong to one or more online chat groups. The groups serve as, if you like, ‘WhatsApp for scientists’, where we can share news and views, as well as our own publications (without others needing to pay for access via the normal channels). These platforms are a godsend to us all. If I am puzzled by something, I can raise the issue online and, almost immediately, other scientists, from anywhere in the world, will respond to help. It saves much time, energy and money.

Naturally, this year’s chat has been dominated by COVID-19. Hence, I have been privy to information that is either not published or ruthlessly suppressed by online gatekeepers when it is. The universal view is that, given its (provisional) infection fatality rate of between 0.1 and 0.2%, COVID is not, and never has been, a pandemic. Furthermore, it is abundantly clear to us all that data relating to infections, cases and deaths have been systematically inflated as a means to a political end.

While scientists are generally frank – sometimes even quite blunt – within the groups, many are fearful of putting their names to counter-narrative evidence. Any anonymously published accounts, inevitably, invite knee-jerk accusations of ‘fake news’ or ‘disinformation’ from government or corporate media shills. This is something we have to accept.

The following message was sent to me by a ‘coal-face’ clinical scientist from California. I know his name, of course, but am, understandably, not prepared to make it known. He has a PhD in Virology and Immunology, and is happy for me to publish his unattributed views. They relate to the ongoing debate regarding whether the virus (SARS-CoV2) has ever been fully isolated and purified, which is essential to proving whether it is actually responsible for any presumed illnesses.

‘(I) have tested 1500 "supposed" positive COVID19 samples collected here in S. California. When my lab team and I did the testing through Koch’s postulates and observation under a SEM (scanning electron microscope), we found no COVID in any of the 1500 samples. What we found was that all of the 1500 samples were mostly Influenza A and some were influenza B, but not a single case of COVID, and we did not use the B.S. PCR test. We sent the remainder of the samples to Stanford, Cornell, and a few of the University of California labs and they found the same results as we did, no COVID. They found influenza A and B. All of us then spoke to the CDC and asked for viable samples of COVID, which CDC said they could not provide as they did not have any samples. We have now come to the firm conclusion through all our research and lab work, that COVID19 (the disease) is fictitious. The flu was called COVID and most of the 225,000 dead were dead through co-morbidities such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, emphysema etc. and they then got the flu which further weakened their immune system and they died. I have yet to find a single viable sample of COVID19 to work with. We at the 7 universities that did the lab tests on these 1500 samples are now suing the CDC for fraud. The CDC has yet to send us a single viable, isolated and purifed [sic] sample of COVID19. If they can’t or won’t send us a viable sample, I say there is no COVID19. The four research papers that do describe the genomic extracts of the COVID19 virus never were successful in isolating and purifying the samples fully. All four papers only describe small bits of RNA which were only 37 to 40 base pairs long which is NOT A VIRUS. A viral genome is typically 30,000 to 40,000 base pairs. With as bad as COVID is supposed to be, all over the place, how come no one in any lab world wide has ever isolated and purified this virus in its entirety?’

In summary:

(1) Although the existence of the virus is proven, its causation of illness is not.

(2) Flu deaths in the US have been routinely recorded as COVID-19.

Similar deception has occurred in the UK, where there are, on average 10-11,000 flu deaths per year. This year (Jan to Aug), there have been fewer than 400. Therefore, in 2020, either flu has been magically eradicated, or its typical 10-11,000 deaths have been listed as ... something else.

Honest debate continues (Figure 148.1).

Figure 148.1: The last entry is the crux: for cause (SARS-CoV2) and effect (COVID-19) to be proven, Koch’s Postulates must be satisfied. These are four standard criteria designed to prove a causative relationship between a microbe and a disease. Thus, the virus must be introduced from ill to healthy subjects and a differential clinical diagnosis established beyond doubt. Such an experiment raises serious ethical questions, discussed at length at: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02821-4

Therefore, despite the universal assumption that a novel coronavirus has caused mass deaths, there is, to date, no scientific proof that so-called ‘COVID deaths’ are not a complete fabrication. After all, the total number of deaths owing to acute respiratory illness (coronavirus, seasonal flu, bacterial pneumonia etc.) for 2020 is statistically the same as for 2019. Professor John Ioannidis of Stanford University, one of the world’s leading epidemiologists, concluded likewise:

‘If we had not been told about a new virus out there, and had not checked individuals with PCR tests, the number of total deaths due to influenza-like illness would not seem unusual this year. At most, we might have casually noted that flu this season seems to be a bit worse than average.’

The truth is as I have said: there has been no pandemic.
