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 […]

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 […]

More Proof That PCR Testing Is Pointless.

24 February 2021

Our Longstanding View Is Proven Right (Again). We first raised a concern about the use of nucleic acid testing, also known as PCR or RT-PCR, on 19th March 2020. Over eleven months ago, we observed; “Testing for whether an individual has the virus – so-called nucleic acid or RT-PCR testing – is largely pointless. The […]

Clap For Chris – The Greatest Scientist…NOT.

6 February 2021

This Man Is Supposed To Be In Charge. Earlier this week, the Chief Medical Officer was heckled in the street by someone who disagreed with him. Perhaps not the most appropriate way to make your point – even if the point being made was absolutely correct – but if you are a true leader and […]

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 / […]

WHO Shows PCR Testing Gets It Wrong.

21 January 2021

What Is Nucleic Acid Testing? Nucleic acid testing, more commonly known as PCR or RT-PCR testing, is one of the three main types of viral testing. There is a full explanation of these three types here but concentrating on PCR testing, it tests a sample for tiny fragments of viral RNA. It shows only the […]

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, […]

PCR Testing Is Picking Up The Common Cold.

23 December 2020

Mutation = Phylogenetic Evolution. Not content with inventing the most recent ‘killer mutation of death’, there are now apparently even more new strains of the ‘killer virus of death’ (the one that continues to not kill people, especially those it infects). There is now even one supposedly from South Africa (“this is an illegal mutating, […]

Having A Common Cold Is As Good As A Vaccine.

15 December 2020

Learn From The Common Cold. Pretty much everybody now knows that four coronaviruses cause the common cold: duvinacovirus alphacoronavirus HCoV-229E & setracovirus alphacoronavirus HCoV-NL63 and embecovirus or lineage A betacoronaviruses HCoV-HKU1 and HCoV-OC43. That’s the common cold that you can catch over & over and which is dealt with by the innate immune system only, […]
