Déjà vu – memory T cells have seen SARS-CoV-2 before.

23 November 2020

Newly-Discovered Is Not New. In early September we first highlighted the incorrect designation of SARS-CoV-2 as a ‘novel’ or ‘new’ coronavirus when it should have been designated ‘newly-discovered’. There is a subtle but fundamental difference: something that is new did not previously exist whereas something that is newly-discovered already existed but not been discovered yet. […]

These Are Not The Drugs You Are Looking For.

20 November 2020

Don’t Use Remdesivir. Just one month after the US Food and Drug Administration approved remdesivir as an antiviral for the treatment of patients with COVID-19, the WHO yesterday recommended that it not be used, on the basis that it is ineffective and there is “no evidence” it reduces mortality. Last month, we analysed remdesivir’s use […]

‘COVID-secure space’, ‘keeping you safe’…utter bollocks.

Lockdown – The Sequel: Coming To A Cinem…Oh, They Are All Closed. Is it just us or are there more people out & about now than on a normal pre-house arrest day? It seems that the majority of the UK population has completely ignored the latest death warrant issued by Emperor Wannabe-Winston Johnson and are […]

Monetising A Vaccine Shows What It’s Really All About.

7 November 2020

LOADSAMONEY! According to the sales pitch on Thursday from investment banks Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley, a COVID-19 vaccine could be a “bumper revenue opportunity“, projected to earn at least $10 billion a year. Morgan Stanley’s projection is at least $10 billion a year across developed countries but Credit Suisse is bigging it up further […]

How many have been killed by the government’s strategy?

3 November 2020

Seasonal Irritants. Coronavirues are seasonal irritants, with four – alpha genus CoV-229E & CoV-NL63 and beta genus CoV-HKU1 & CoV-OC43 – causing the common cold. They are seasonal because, like many viruses such as seasonal or winter flu (the clue being in the name), they need environmental factors to sustain their virulence and therefore maintain […]

Predictions are not science.

2 November 2020

Weird Science. Ever since the start of the Great Insanity, the UK government has said it is ‘following the science’. Following the science fiction, the Yellow Brick Road or even the stench (of its own murderous incompetence) maybe but most certainly not following the science. The Collins English Dictionary definition of ‘science’ is this: NOUN […]

Antivirals – lessons from the ‘flu jab’.

28 October 2020

That Time Of Year Again. If you have read the previous two articles then you will know the main differences between a vaccine and an antiviral, and why Remdesivir is not an effective antiviral for just about anyone with COVID-19. We have highlighted that antivirals have a pretty patchy record when it comes to their […]

Remdesivir – an antiviral for a specific narrow group but a wonderdrug for everyone else?

23 October 2020

Antiviral Not Vaccine. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given full approval to remdesivir for the treatment of COVID-19. Remdesivir has been receiving coverage since the early days of the Great Insanity – often touted as a wonderdrug – and has been in use on a compassionate patient-by-patient basis since late January as […]

An antiviral maybe but a vaccine isn’t needed and wouldn’t be effective.

20 October 2020

Apparently everything now hangs on a vaccine: stockmarkets rise and fall on the mere rumour of how the rumoured development of a particular rumoured COVID-19 vaccine is going; politicians say that normality can’t be resumed until a vaccine is available; people are fed the line that a virus must have a vaccine and that without […]

Fever is cool. It is the body’s normal response to an infection and is certainly NOT unique to SARS-CoV-2.

16 October 2020

Core temperature Fever – or to use its medical term ‘pyrexia’ – is defined as an increase in the body’s core temperature. The body’s core temperature is 37’c, give or take, although various studies have shown that it can be anywhere in the range 36’c – 38’c and as a consequence 36.5’c – 37.5’c is […]
