Transmission Routes of Respiratory Viruses Among Humans
Jasmin S. Kutter et al. Respiratory tract infections can be caused by a wide variety of viruses. Airborne transmission via droplets and aerosols enables some of these viruses to spread efficiently among humans, causing outbreaks that are difficult to control. Many outbreaks have been investigated retrospectively to study the possible routes of inter-human virus transmission. […]
Congressional Memo: Virologists Drafted Article Against the Lab Leak Theory on Behalf of Wellcome Trust, NIH
Emily Kopp Virologists who worked to squelch consideration of a lab origin of COVID-19 in early 2020 worked in tandem with leaders in scientific research funding, according to their private emails. … A March 2020 paper in Nature Medicine titled “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2” assured the public that the virus’ genome demonstrated an origin […]
Gain of Fiction
Mike Stone The eld of virology, and to some extent the broader eld of microbiology, widely relies on studies that involve gain or loss of function Any selection process involving an alteration of genotypes and their resulting phenotypes is considered a type of Gain-of-Function (GoF) research Virologists use gain- and loss-of-function experiments to understand the […]
The Marburg “Virus:” Precursor to Ebola
Mike Stone The first people “infected” had been exposed to Ugandan imported African green monkeys or their tissues while conducting research In some cases, patients died from severe hemorrhagic shock on the day after hospital admissionNote that there is zero information on what treatments the patients underwent before and after admission to the hospital which […]
It’s All Getting So Ridiculous! – Part One
Dawn Lester It would seem from the recent slew of ‘news stories’ (translation = propaganda), that the ‘would-be controllers’ have reached a state of sheer desperation or maybe even hysteria or possibly both! The level of fear-mongering on various topics, such as ‘UFOs’, so-called ‘climate change’, the rising cost of living, ‘spies’ or deadly diseases, […]
A Common Sense Approach to Respiratory Viruses – Part 1
Christof Plothe Viruses, like recent bacteria, are considered responsible for human diseases. Infectious diseases are indeed the foundation of modern medicine as we know it. But we learned in the last decades that 99% of bacteria around us benefit our health and environment. Did you know that the same applies to viruses? In fact, if […]
Five Simple Questions for Virologists
Tom Cowan Question One: Can you give us a reference in which this step has been done for any pathogenic virus, and, if this reference doesn’t exist, explain why not? Question Two: Can you define what the term “isolation” means to you, and whether you agree that the above process is a scientifically based isolation […]
HIV – A Virus Like No Other
The Perth Group The scientific and medical communities readily opted for the retroviral theory and rapidly adopted the belief that the apparent spread of “HIV” represented a global health emergency, with “real, and potentially significant, risks to national, regional, and global security from the pandemic”; and for over three decades have resisted every alternative view.
