Recently, I\u2019ve offered important evidence AGAINST the claim<\/strong><\/span><\/a> that researchers have discovered SARS-CoV-2, the new COVID-19 pandemic virus.<\/span><\/p>\n

No large-scale electron microscope study has been done with, say, 1000 pandemic patients lined up; with tissue samples taken from all of them; with those samples carefully handled; with relevant material photographed under an electron microscope; with the particles in the photos examined to see if all of them are of the same unique virus, and have never been seen before.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, researchers would argue against such a study, because they never perform it. They don\u2019t want to. They\u2019re afraid the results would make it clear they\u2019re involved in enormous fraud.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, we thought we had a new virus, but it turns out the particles in the photos are of all sorts of material. Different viruses, genetic fragments, cellular debris, exosomes, and so on. Back to the drawing board\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

If there existed a truly honest editor at a prestigious medical journal, this is what he would write, in an effort to get at the TRUTH. You know, the supposed goal of science\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI must confess, after reflection and conversation, we here at the Journal don\u2019t know how researchers discover a new virus. They make pronouncements, but what are they actually DOING in their labs?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou see, the steps they take, the procedures they engage in, are never captured on film, step by step. No truly independent observers are there as witnesses. It\u2019s as if the lab is a holy of holies, and only loyal initiates are allowed in. This is an intolerable situation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis mystery must be penetrated. For example, official researchers say they are working out the genetic sequence of a new virus, but what does that mean? What sample are they are starting out with and using? Do they already have a truly purified specimen of the new virus? If so, where did they get it, and how? They grew it in a culture of cells? Really? And they purified it from that culture? We refuse to accept these unexamined claims at face value.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, we\u2019re opening our pages to an ongoing discussion and debate on the questions, HOW ARE RESEARCHERS ACTUALLY DISCOVERING A NEW VIRUS? HOW SHOULD THEY? We will accept submissions from many quarters. Not just the usual experts. We aim to break up the chokehold and monopoly of opinion on this vital subject.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the realm of so-called science, there is a veritable army of self-styled experts in charge, who say, \u201cOf course we know what we\u2019re doing when we discover a new virus.\u201d And that, they think, is enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n

It especially isn\u2019t, when the issue is a claim of a global viral pandemic; and repressive containment measures are being imposed, which are destroying countless jobs and businesses and lives. All because of a story about a new virus.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve heard the phrase, \u201cthe science is settled.\u201d But settled for whom? Time and again, it turns out the purveyors of pseudoscience have a political or commercial agenda that is driving their assertions. They posture, they scoff at critics. They refuse to step forward and engage in honest and prolonged debate. They censor counter-arguments.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the past 35 years, during the purported epidemics called AIDS, West Nile, SARS, bird flu, Mad Cow, Swine Flu, Zika, once official researchers announced they had found the cause, there has never been a truly PROPER large-scale study launched to confirm or deny those hypotheses about causation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past six months, a few readers have contacted me with references to COVID studies that show an electron microscope photo here, a photo there, along with the researchers\u2019 statements that the new coronavirus has, in fact, been isolated and proven to exist. That\u2019s not proof. That\u2019s not what I\u2019m talking about AT ALL.<\/span><\/p>\n

If a drug company announced that six people, who had taken a new drug, showed major improvement in their illness-condition, would that constitute proof of anything? Would that be sufficient evidence for licensing the drug, as safe and effective, for widespread public use?<\/span><\/p>\n

When I say LARGE-SCALE STUDY, that\u2019s exactly what I mean. And one such study isn\u2019t enough. Other studies must be done as well, to verify or disprove the finding of the first set of researchers. All the researchers must be free of conflicts of interest.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is called the scientific method.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me break it down a little further, since nobody in the conventional scientific community will. Let\u2019s say you do the large-scale electron microscope study I outlined above. And you find that, in 80 of the 1000 photos, you do see many, many particles of the same unique coronavirus, and you\u2019ve never seen that virus before.<\/span><\/p>\n

What conclusions would you draw? You would say, \u201cWell, first of all, we don\u2019t have PROOF of anything resembling a pandemic. Looks like a dud. Maybe\u2026could be\u2026eight percent of the 1000 people who have this list of GENERAL FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS might be suffering from a new viral condition. MAYBE. If we\u2019ve already made projections of how many people will contract this new disease, we\u2019ll need to provisionally cut down those numbers by 92 percent. Hmm, no, that doesn\u2019t sound at all like a global pandemic. Now we need to look at the 920 people who also have these flu-like symptoms, but show no signs of having a new virus, and compare them with the 80 people and see what we can discover. Let\u2019s dig into this. Is it possible the 80 people have a new virus, but it isn\u2019t actually causing any illness? How many of the 80 are already suffering from serious health conditions that have nothing to do with this purported virus? How many have been treated for years with toxic drugs? How many have lung conditions stemming from heavily polluted air? We need to make a list of possible reasons these 80 people are sick and look at those causes. Let\u2019s go back and examine the electron microscope photos again. Are we actually seeing many particles of the same new virus from all 80 of the patients\u2026? Do we have any CDC or WHO researchers on board? They always find a new virus\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

An approach like that would start to make some sense. More large studies would definitely be needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, there wouldn\u2019t be any MONEY in this. There wouldn\u2019t be an opportunity for massive top-down CONTROL in this. You couldn\u2019t wreck a global economy on this basis and try to usher in a new political system for planet Earth. You couldn\u2019t convince seven billion people to take a destructive vaccine.<\/span><\/p>\n

But you would be putting your feet on a road that resembles something called science.<\/span><\/p>\n

And yet, in an era which is said to be characterized by science, you would be, guess what? An extreme outlier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Odd.<\/span><\/p>\n

That seems to be a contradiction.<\/span><\/p>\n
