Why SARS-CoV-2 Deaths Are 4-16 Times Lower Than Flu.

20 March 2022

Beware Conflicted Studies. Last week an article was published in The Lancet that estimates COVID-19 excess deaths. As is generally the case when it comes to ‘official’ studies or reports – those attempting to reflect or reinforce the official narrative – it is written in the conditional mood. It is therefore the language of ‘could‘, […]

Nitric Oxide’s Role In Anti-Adhesion And Anti-Coagulation.

13 December 2021

Background. SARS-CoV-2’s Achilles’ heel has always been vitamin D in general and nitric oxide in particular. We first explained the relevance of vitamin D in July 2020, identifying the correlation between vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19 mortality rates and the key role of exposure to photosynthesis of vitamin D from exposure to UVB that occurs […]

How Low Is The SARS-CoV-2 Mortality Rate?

13 September 2021

We All Grew Up With Coronaviruses, As Did All Our Ancestors. To understand the relevance of mortality rate, you have to appreciate that coronaviruses first became pathogenic to humans in the range 12,000 – 10,000 years ago, as a consequence of the first interaction between humans and livestock that occurred in the early Holocene. Mankind […]

More Infectious Equals More Vulnerable.

28 January 2021

Infectiousness And Infectivity Are Not The Same. Infectiousness is how easily a pathogen can spread and infectivity is the level of disease severity it can cause. We explained this in more detail earlier this month in response to the UK government’s regular – and one would predicate deliberate – confusion of the two. S-VoC / […]

Nitric Oxide Immunity In The Upper Respiratory Tract.

24 January 2021

The Upper Respiratory Tract Is The Key Battleground. Back in July 2020, we first explained the crucial significance of vitamin D as an effective viral countermeasure as well as the significance of vitamin D deficiency in SARS-CoV-2’s pathogenesis and COVID-19 disease severity. Then in October we highlighted the importance of the vitamin D→endothelial nitric oxide synthase→nitric […]

Why Government Advice Makes It So Much Worse.

5 January 2021

Over nine months into this insanity, it is clear that government advice hasn’t worked. Following government advice doesn’t work. Not only is government advice ineffective but also it causes negative outcomes. Following government advice makes the situation worse and makes you far more likely to become seriously ill and – if you allow yourself to […]

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 […]

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 […]
