Yet Another Virus That Provides SARS-CoV-2 Immunity.

15 November 2021

Background. It is difficult to select the most fundamental error relating to SARS-CoV-2: the deliberate confusion of ‘infectiousness’ with ‘infectivity’; the deliberate use of ‘COVID-19’ disease severity when one is referring to ‘SARS-CoV-2’ viral infection, for example ‘rising COVID-19 infections’ when there is no such thing; the use of ‘vaccination’ when the correct description is […]

Why Is Nitric Oxide’s Key Role Ignored?

28 July 2021

Role In The Innate Immune Response. It is a year since we first identified the significance of vitamin D in respect of SARS-CoV-2. Through the vitamin D pathways it can both prevent viral infection and attenuate disease progression and severity. Yet the role of vitamin D-modulated nitric oxide remains largely ignored and dismissed by the NHS as […]

COVID-19: The Western Diet Disease.

14 July 2021

The Poorer The Country, The Lower The Mortality Rate. This is the first pandemic in history where ‘poorer’ countries fare better, usually far better, then ‘richer’ ones. The more developed the country; industrialised the economy; advanced the healthcare system; widespread the adoption of Western lifestyle & diet, the higher the total deaths and in most […]

Why Delta / B1.617.2 Is NOT A Problem.

6 July 2021

Just What Is Different About Delta? B1.617.2/Delta is apparently still spreading. This is unsurprising given that it has been occurring globally for over eight months. At least the WHO has finally applied a nomenclature to the main SARS-CoV-2 variants, adding to the existing PANGO and Nextstrain designations. This validates something we first highlighted four months […]

SARS-COV-2’s Defences Against Detection.

18 May 2021

What Variants Want. Considerable coverage is being given to variant B1.617. This is the ‘Indian’ variant if you use the incorrect basis of giving single country, geographical names to variants that appear globally across multiple variants and are not new, having been in existence for months and in some cases, over a year. As part […]

Questions For Those Offering You A ‘Vaccine’.

4 May 2021

Beware ‘Excited’ Non-Healthcare Workers. As another cohort is now to be offered the antivirals (they are not vaccines), it is apposite to set out some questions to ask those who are falling over themselves to vaccinate you. There is an irony in the fact that reception staff at GPs’ surgeries who are usually obdurate and […]

Peak Deaths Was One Year Ago.

8 April 2021

Peak Infections And Peak Deaths. COVID-19 deaths peaked in the UK on 8th April 2020, one year ago today. This followed peak infections on 19th March 2020, a little under three weeks previous, in line with SARS-CoV-2’s infection cycle of two weeks. Week one occurs in the upper respiratory tract and includes exposure, cellular fusion […]

Rhinoviruses Increase SARS-CoV-2 Immunity.

31 March 2021

Persistent Antigen Exposure. We first highlighted persistent antigen exposure back in November 2020, when our research showed that individuals who had not previously had SARS-CoV-2 possessed memory T cells that recognised it, with this recognition likely coming from previous exposure to other common cold-causing coronaviruses. Public Health England that commissioned the report stated (with our […]

IgA – Faster, Stronger and More Effective.

11 March 2021

The Star Player On Your Team. Following seroconversion, immumoglobulin A (IgA) istoype is the most frequently created antibody in the immune system. This is principally because it dominates the upper respiratory tract, which is usually the first point of contact between pathogen and human. Therefore, it is needed more frequently than the other isotypes. As […]

Why The S Protein Is Not The Target You Are Looking For.

11 February 2021

The First Lesson Of Camouflage – Not Being Seen. The majority of vaccines and antivirals both in use and in development as SARS-CoV-2 countermeasures target the structural Spike protein. We have highlighted previously that as the S protein trimers contain the RBDs, the S protein houses the virion’s principal weapon and is therefore the obvious, […]
