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 […]

N501Y Is More Infectious But NOT More Dangerous.

13 January 2021

Infectiousness Or Infectivity. If the government is to be believed, the new killer mutant of death (no, not vaccines minister Zoonotic Gaddafi, the other killer mutant of death known as N501Y) is even more infectious and even more transmissible. Except the government likes to confuse viral infectiousness with disease severity. They are very different. Also, […]

Does Ibuprofen make SARS-CoV-2 better or worse? Here are two strong reasons not to take it.

5 October 2020

Background Back in April we first wrote about a possible connection between the increasingly above-average mortality rates in European countries and their widespread use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Ibuprofen. We raised the question as to whether the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme inhibitor function of NSAIDs either intefered with or amplified the angiotensin-converting enzyme […]
